✅ Fuzhou｜A cultural capital full of talents Northern Song Dynasty thinker Wang Anshi, great prose writer Zeng Gong, lyric giants Yan Shu and Yan Jidao, Southern Song philosopher Lu Jiuyuan, Ming Dynasty playwright Tang Xianzu, and many others are all from Fuzhou. We have never met them, but their words and names are so familiar—from textbooks to popular tales. Walking the streets of Fuzhou today, perhaps the stone paths beneath your feet were once walked by these literary masters! ✅ Fuzhou｜Old City Museum Strolling through Wenchangli, you will find the streets and alleys filled with the dreamlike longing of "The Peony Pavilion." Even more enchanting are the various intangible cultural heritage shops: Jinxi bamboo weaving, Lichuan ceramics, wood carving skills, colorful knotting, and the stories of the Chinese Opera Museum’s Liyuan. Wander casually and you might unexpectedly encounter Yulong Wanshou Palace, Wenchang Bridge, Zhengjue Temple, the Catholic Church, Xiaoyi Bridge, and more. Their stories grow richer and more vivid with the flourishing culture. It’s worth noting that Fuzhou is neither rushed nor lax; it develops steadily at its own pace. Many traditional crafts may not be as flashy as modern art, but they carry a gentle warmth and depth shaped by the passage of time. ✅ Fuzhou｜Dreaming of The Peony Pavilion As the hometown of Tang Xianzu, Fuzhou never lacks romance and deep affection. At night, as the lights come on in Wenchangli, an immersive performance of "Dreaming of The Peony Pavilion" begins. Being there, feelings arise unknowingly and run deep. While many cities offer immersive performances, the unique experience of "The Peony Pavilion" can only be truly understood in Fuzhou, where the tragic love story between the official’s daughter Du Liniang and scholar Liu Mengmei unfolds. ✅ Fuzhou｜Zhuqiao Ancient Village This is an ancient village founded at the end of the Yuan and beginning of the Ming Dynasty, mainly featuring Gan-style architecture. The village is not very large but has several winding alleys. There are also a few crescent-shaped ponds that at first glance resemble the Moon Pond in Hongcun, Huangshan. The nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage of woodblock printing is hidden here, with two ancient woodblock printing workshop sites preserved within the village. If you come here, try experiencing the joy of woodblock printing yourself. When sunlight filters through the pomelo trees in the courtyard and the breeze stirs, the faint fragrance blends with the scent of ink on the desk, instantly immersing you in the moment, unable to pull away. —————————————— The first time I came to Fuzhou, I visited the places mentioned above. My initial visit left a deep impression, and this Jiangxi intangible cultural heritage trip (which also included Wuyuan, Yanshan, Yingtan, and other places) gave me a new understanding of Jiangxi (to be shared in another post). As for Fuzhou, I had long heard of the romance of "The Peony Pavilion," and the classic line "feelings arise unknowingly and run deep" had deeply imprinted itself in my heart at some unknown time. But I had no sensory impression of Fuzhou, the place where it all happened. Until this time, from Zhuqiao Ancient Village to Wenchangli, Fuzhou allowed me to find a sense of peace and cultural belonging amid the hustle and bustle of modern life. Often, in an unexpected moment, I would seek the sound of pine winds and crane shadows in my inner world, listening to the birdsong and fragrance of the green mountains and clear waters. This is probably the charm of a cultural capital (a hometown of talented scholars). It may be low-key, but once you get close, you will "feelings arise unknowingly and run deep."

#JanuaryDestinations2026 #NewYearDestinations2026 Act One: Twin Flowers in Front of Yuming Hall The Fu River was shrouded in a milky mist at dawn. I stood for a moment at the head of Wenchang Bridge—three hundred steps to the left was the rebuilt Yuming Hall, and three hundred steps to the right was St. Joseph's Cathedral. Tang Xianzu's stage and the Catholic altar shared the same nourishment from the Linchuan waterway and the same humid air of eastern Jiangxi. The newly painted couplets at Yuming Hall were still wet: "A thousand years of affection rooted in Yuming, a dream behind a curtain reaches Linchuan." As the young guide recited an excerpt from *The Peony Pavilion* in Fuzhou dialect, I suddenly noticed a flash of silver around her neck—a tiny cross necklace, hidden inside the embroidered collar, appearing and disappearing between her Ming Dynasty opera costume and modern uniform with each breath. Act Two: A Dream Under the Cross The church, built in 1909, has a Romanesque bell tower made of blue bricks that has climbed up the ivy. After Sunday morning prayers, I met Mr. Zhou, the choir conductor. "My grandfather was the founder of the Tang Xianzu Research Association," he said, while arranging sheet music, "but he was baptized here in 1950." Sunlight streamed through the stained glass, casting the blue robes of the Virgin Mary onto the concrete floor. That blue was surprisingly the same mineral pigment as the blue of Du Liniang's flowing sleeves in the opera *The Peony Pavilion*—both are azurite, a mineral found only in the upper reaches of the Fu River. The most wondrous moment came in the afternoon. Under the century-old ginkgo tree in the church's side courtyard, several elderly people were rehearsing the Yihuang opera *The Tale of Nanke*. The aria "For you are like a beautiful flower, like flowing water" met the organists' rehearsal of *Ave Maria* in the September breeze. The two melodies intertwined and separated in the air, like two rivers unwilling to completely merge, yet sharing the same undercurrent in their depths. Act III: The Double Embroidery of Time At the Fuzhou Museum, I saw a Qing Dynasty women's jacket—the right lapel embroidered with plum blossoms and butterflies from the novel *The Dream of the Red Chamber*, while the left lapel was ingeniously embroidered with "Emmanuel" using Western cross-stitch. The label read: "Dowry of a Christian bride in the late Qing Dynasty, husband's family descendants of the Tang family." This garment, displayed in a glass case, tells the secret of this city more vividly than any document: the people of Fuzhou are adept at weaving seemingly contradictory faiths into the fabric of the same life. On the back wall of the church, there are traces of repair; bullet holes left by the Japanese bombing in 1942 have been cleverly filled into the shape of peony petals. The fire hydrant box in Yuming Hall is designed to resemble an antique bookcase, inscribed with the biblical verse: "Love never fails."—Two kinds of protection, two kinds of redemption, here completing a metaphorical intertextuality. Act IV: The Double Conversion of Night Wanderers After nightfall, I witnessed an even more vibrant fusion at Nixiantai. The square-dancing aunties' Bluetooth speakers blared "Christmas Bells," yet their dance steps were to the rhythm of a tea-picking opera; young people wearing cross earrings had "Originally, Flowers Bloomed Everywhere" as their ringtone; the night market vendor selling "Linchuan Beef Offal" had a portrait of Tang Xianzu and a note that read "God Loves You" pasted next to his QR code. I lingered longest at a stall selling handmade lanterns. The left half of the lantern depicted Du Liniang strolling in the garden, the right half the starry sky of Bethlehem; as it rotated, the two paintings overlapped in the light and shadow—Liu Mengmei's folding fan became angel wings, and the shepherd's staff blossomed into peonies. The stall owner was a silent old craftsman, only whispering as I paid: "Tang Xianzu wrote of emotion, God wrote of love; it's something that can't be fully expressed in a single stroke." Final Chapter: The Fifth Dimension of the Four Dreams of Linchuan On the morning I left, I went to two places simultaneously. In the bamboo grove of Yuming Hall, students from a drama school practice their singing; dewdrops fall like baptisms as their flowing sleeves brush against the ground. In the candlelight of morning prayers at the church, an elderly priest recites the Song of Songs in the Fuzhou dialect: "My beloved is among women as a lily among thorns"—this is clearly another form of "Seeking a Dream." Standing in the center of the Fuhe Bridge, I suddenly understand the soul of this city: It never demands a choice between "Eastern dreams" or "Western gods," but rather creates a third space—allowing the "love that arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment" of *The Peony Pavilion* and the "love is patient and kind" of *1 Corinthians* to mutually interpret each other in the mirror-like surface of the Linchuan River. Tang Xianzu wrote in *The Tale of Nanke*: "Human rulers, ministers, and relatives are no different from ants." Four hundred years later, his descendants and believers of God, on the same land, understand the same insignificance and the same perseverance. Perhaps all profound faith ultimately leads to the same kind of nostalgia—a nostalgia for eternity, for beauty, for the dreamlike quality of life, yet a deep love for that dream. The souvenir I took was a mixed CD: Side A contained the complete Yihuang opera *The Peony Pavilion*, and Side B contained a recording of *Linchuan Hymns* by the Fuzhou Church Choir. It required manual flipping to play, but in the gaps of certain vibratos, I was certain I heard the rustling bamboo of Yuming Hall, harmonizing with the church bells in a gentle, century-old counterpoint.

Depends on your departure city. For example, the high-speed train second-class seat from Nanchang to Fuzhou takes about half an hour and is not expensive. Please budget according to your actual situation. Total Budget: About ¥3890 - 4260 Per person for two: About ¥1945 - 2130 Note: If you travel as a pair, the total budget is sufficient and you can even upgrade some experiences (such as accommodation and dining). For solo travelers, without shared costs for transportation and accommodation, the budget will be close to the upper limit. 📝 Practical Travel Tips · Weather and Clothing: Fuzhou is cold in winter and hot in summer. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons. Ni Xiantai is especially scenic in autumn with rich colors in the foliage. Please check the weather forecast before traveling. · Ticket Reservations: Ni Xiantai is closed every Tuesday, so be sure to avoid that day. For memorial halls and other attractions, it is recommended to confirm the latest opening hours before your trip. · Transportation: Attractions in Fuzhou are relatively concentrated. Near Ni Xiantai, there is a bus stop (such as "Rushui Park East Gate · Ni Xiantai" stop), served by routes 29, 21, etc. However, if you have luggage or are traveling with multiple people, using ride-hailing services is more convenient. This guide focuses on cultural experiences, and you can adjust it according to your interests.

Observing the flowers closely, the bright red petals seem like cinnabar brushstrokes in traditional opera, allowing you to appreciate not only the plum blossoms but also the graceful spirit of Linchuan opera and savor the romantic sentiment of “love arising unknowingly” penned by Tang Xianzu. The plum fragrance lingers around the green tiles, the sparse shadows reflect on the dark walls, and the beauty of winter is all concentrated on these branches.

12.17-12.19 3 days 2 nights 🕰️ Accommodation: Taoxichuan 🏨 【Clothing】 Thin down jacket + windbreaker + thermal underwear (for those who get cold easily) It gets warm at midday, but the wind is still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings. 【Spots】 Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Street The market is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, and it gets very lively. The rest of the time it's just shops in the street. The ceramic designs in the shops are mostly original and very stylish, but of course, the prices are relatively high. Some stalls seem to be run by students from Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute 👩🏻‍🎓 The goods are exquisite, interesting, and quirky. So cute! If you have a sufficient budget, you can buy some. If you get tired of walking around, there's a Jiangxi restaurant called "Home Cooking" in the neighborhood. Don't miss their signature dish, stewed fish head with bean curd (P8)! They open at 5 PM, so go early to avoid long queues. Fuzhou Lane I originally wanted to go to the Imperial Kiln Museum, but I found out I needed to buy a ticket for the Taoyangli Scenic Area first. The museum is inside the scenic area (free, reservations are possible via WeChat). The Taoyangli Scenic Area is quite large, and I didn't have enough time, so I went straight to the nearby food street, Fuzhou Lane. (Recommended by the driver). There are many shops inside; refer to reviews before choosing. P9 'Huiwei Yangwo' has spicy dishes, but the taste and service are good. China Ceramics Museum Advance reservations via WeChat are possible and free. Once inside, the museum is arranged chronologically according to dynasty. Aside from the famous Silent Buddha (there are two routes in the exhibition hall; queue if you want a close-up photo, otherwise skip the queue if you just want a distant shot), the other collections are very interesting. Porcelain lovers shouldn't miss it! Taoyang New Village Night Market Crowds at 6 PM The area is getting bigger, and the items inside are quite similar, likely all sourced from the same factory. Popular items are generally 10 yuan each (note that some have printed patterns and are crudely made; hand-painted pieces are rare), ceramic vases (small ones are 10 yuan for 1-4) + flowers (single-petaled small flowers are 10 yuan for 7, more complex ones are 10 yuan for 4) – you can choose whatever you like; the prices aren't expensive, and bargaining is possible. In summary: it's not too crowded now, and the weather is cooler. Jingdezhen isn't large, and the attractions aren't far apart.

If you don't want noise, don't want socializing, just want to be alone quietly on New Year's Day? Don't go to those over-hyped spots! As someone who loves solo travel, today I recommend 4 small towns perfect for being alone. Few people, relaxed, slow pace—drinking coffee, daydreaming, walking are all very comfortable, not awkward or lonely, just purely spending time with yourself. 🏔️ Zhangye, Gansu | The lonely aesthetics of Danxia after snow Why come: In winter, Zhangye has so few tourists you can have the place to yourself. The colorful Danxia after snow is even more dreamy, with colors purer against the white snow. Standing alone on the viewing platform, the vast sky and land instantly calm you down. How to play: No need to rush attractions. Wake up naturally in the morning, stroll slowly in Danxia Geopark, where winter light and shadow are especially soft. In the afternoon, return to the old town, find a small restaurant to eat a bowl of beef rice, wander around Ganzhou Market, watch locals buy groceries and chat. At dusk, go to the Great Buddha Temple, sit for a while in the ancient Buddhist hall, listen to the wind and eaves bells. Solo experience: Zhangye’s pace is super slow, no one rushes or disturbs you. Ride a shared bike around the streets, the cold wind on your face actually refreshes you. At night, return to the guesthouse, soak your feet in hot water, think of nothing, very stress-relieving. Accommodation: Old town homestays 120-180 RMB/night, very comfortable with heating Budget: About 600 RMB per person (3 days 2 nights) Tips: 0-10°C during the day, bring a down jacket. Danxia sunset is beautiful but very cold, dress warmly. 🎭 Kaili, Guizhou | Finding the warmth of life in Miao villages Why come: Kaili is not like the internet-famous Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village; it’s a city with real life atmosphere. There are many small Miao villages nearby, and going alone you won’t be surrounded by commercial vibes but can blend into local life. How to play: Stroll around the city’s Sour Soup Fish Street and Ethnic Culture Palace, look at silver jewelry and batik. Visit nearby Langde Shang Village and Jidao Miao Village, no entrance fee or just a few dozen RMB. Sit on the wind-rain bridge in the village, watch grandmas embroider and children play—you’re just a quiet observer. Food healing: Kaili’s sour soup fish, sour soup beef, and rice tofu are perfect in small portions for one. Find a humble local eatery, the owner will chat with you, making you feel not lonely but not overly enthusiastic either, just the right balance. Accommodation: City budget hotels 100-150 RMB/night, clean and convenient Budget: About 500 RMB per person (2 days 1 night) Tips: Going alone to Miao villages is not awkward; many locals travel solo too. Bring a book, sunbathe and read in the village, very pleasant. ☕ Fuzhou, Jiangxi | Coffee time in a low-key small town Why come: Fuzhou is very low-profile, but precisely because of this, it retains a rare sense of relaxation. The city is neither too big nor too small, perfect for solo walking, finding coffee shops, daydreaming in parks—an ideal place to spend New Year's quietly. Wandering route: In the morning, visit Wenchangli Historical and Cultural Street, with charming Ming and Qing architecture and few tourists. At noon, find a local Linchuan cuisine restaurant for authentic beef offal noodles or soaked noodles. In the afternoon, relax in a lakeside café by Dream Lake, sit by the window watching the lake view and reading, letting time pass slowly. Cultural experience: The Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall and Wang Anshi Memorial Hall are worth visiting, quiet and few people, slowly read the exhibition boards, the feeling of dialoguing with history is wonderful. Watching exhibitions alone means no rush, stay as long as you want. Coffee map: Fuzhou’s independent coffee shops are increasing, costing 25-40 RMB per person, with good environment and no rush. Bring a laptop or notebook, working or journaling here is very comfortable. Accommodation: City center hotels 150-200 RMB/night Budget: About 400 RMB per person (2 days 1 night) Tips: Winter is neither cold nor hot, perfect for walking. The city is very safe, girls can travel alone with peace of mind. ❄️ Dandong, Liaoning | Emotional outlet in the fog of a border town Why come: Winter in Dandong is cold and quiet, with fog by the river, North Korea across the water, and empty streets. This border town atmosphere is perfect for sorting out your thoughts alone. Calm down, and many things become clear. Solo route: Walk slowly along the Yalu River, see the broken bridge and the opposite side’s Sinuiju. The winter fog is thick, the river looks hazy. Standing by the river blowing cold wind, tears may flow involuntarily, but it’s not sadness, it’s emotional release. Food therapy: Eat Korean cold noodles or barbecue alone, or find a Northeast Chinese restaurant to order Guobaorou (sweet and sour pork) with rice. Dandong’s strawberries are super sweet, buy a box and eat while walking, the sweetness heals bad moods. Accommodation: River view rooms 200-300 RMB/night, sleeping while watching the river is very comforting Night time: Dandong is very quiet at night, few people on the streets. Walking alone on empty streets, listening to your footsteps, this loneliness is not unpleasant but a way to accompany yourself. Budget: About 700 RMB per person (3 days 2 nights) Tips: Around -10°C, down jacket, hat, gloves are essential. The riverbank wind is strong, don’t stay too long or you might catch a cold. 🎒 The meaning of solo travel 💭 No need to accommodate others’ pace, stop when you want, go when you want 💭 Talk to yourself, rediscover the real you 💭 In a strange city, you can shed all pretenses 💭 Loneliness is not bad, it’s a way to recharge yourself 💭 After returning, you’ll find yourself stronger ✨ Solo travel tips 🌟 Book accommodation in advance, choose city center or convenient transport 🌟 Tell family and friends your itinerary, keep in touch 🌟 Bring a book or journal to record your feelings and insights 🌟 Don’t force socializing, just enjoy being alone 🌟 Rest when tired, travel is not a race 🌟 Trust your intuition, stay safe 🌟 Eating alone is not embarrassing, order what you want Set off alone on New Year's Day! No need to wait for others, no need to accommodate others’ preferences, no need to pretend to be happy. In these 4 quiet small towns, walk slowly, look slowly, slowly reconcile with yourself. The meaning of travel is not in the distance, but in finding inner peace. The new year starts with loving yourself well.🌙✨

In late autumn, the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree inside Shiwang Temple is clad in golden armor, with two sturdy main trunks growing side by side, supporting each other. The yellow leaves rustle in the wind like countless butterflies gently fluttering their wings. Beneath the tree, a stone Buddha sits cross-legged in quiet meditation, guarding the passage of time alongside the ancient tree. Travel Tips: 1. Address: Located in Tongyuan Township, Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, it is an ancient temple currently under renovation. For driving, navigate directly to "Shiwang Ancient Temple, Linchuan District." 2. Tickets and Reservation: Free admission, no reservation required. Shiwang Temple is open all day, but it is recommended to avoid peak crowds on weekends. 3. Photography Tips: 1. Wear red or light-colored clothing to create a gentle contrast with the golden ginkgo. 2. The best sunlight is from 9–10 AM and 3–4 PM; shooting through the leaves creates beautiful light spots and atmosphere.

My approximate itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Jingdezhen at noon – Lunch at Fuzhou Lane – Walk to hotel after the parade road closure – Taoyangli, Imperial Kiln Museum – Lunch at Ouji Food Stall – Taoyang New Village – Back to hotel Day 2: Chartered car to Yaoli Ancient Town – Dongbu Wharf – Hanxi Village – Porcelain Palace – Lunch at Tuweimei Yellow Croaker Restaurant Day 3: Pottery making at the Sculpture Porcelain Factory – Visit the Sculpture Porcelain Factory – Lunch at "Home-cooked Meals" – 7:10 PM High-speed train back to Shanghai Reviews of various attractions: 📍Favorite attraction – Imperial Kiln Museum⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ · This museum is located in Taoyangli. Not only is the interior architecture photogenic, but the porcelain collection is also exquisite. I visited at night, and it was difficult to take good photos outside the museum at night. I recommend visiting during the day. If you don't have a reservation, you can make one at the entrance. 📍Taoyangli⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ · This itinerary can be scheduled at the same time as the Imperial Kiln Museum. There are many photo spots and it has a great atmosphere. 📍Yaoli Ancient Town⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Recommended to hire a car) It features old-style rural architecture from Jiangxi. Because it resembles my childhood home, it holds special emotional significance for me. Many places are great for taking photos. However, one thing I hope can be improved: the restroom near the parking lot is extremely outdated; you feel terrible after using it. 📍Dongbu Wharf⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Recommended to hire a car) Similar to an uncommercialized old-style rural architectural complex, it's a good photo spot. The restrooms are quite nice and new. You can finish exploring in a short time. You can also include this in your trip to Yaoli Ancient Town. Places to skip: 📍Hanxi Village⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Recommended to hire a car) The scenery is quite beautiful, but it's best to skip it on a cloudy day 😐. My friend and I went there, but because it was very windy and the sky was overcast, we didn't stay long before getting back on the bus. If you don't have much time and the weather is bad, you can skip this place. 📍Porcelain Palace⭐️⭐️ I didn't really appreciate it…maybe it's just good for taking pictures…the weather was bad and cold when we went 🥶, so the experience wasn't great. If you're not looking for photos and are short on time, you can skip this attraction. 📍Taoyang New Village⭐️ · I had high expectations before going, but when I got there, I found the items to be very similar, and I had absolutely no desire to buy anything. I don't know how everyone else's desire to buy things was aroused… 📍Sanbao Village (Unknown) · The local driver said it was just about queuing for photos and not very interesting, so we didn't go. 📍China Ceramics Museum (I felt it was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and wanted to go, but it was closed on Mondays, so I didn't go.) · I'd like to include it in my next trip to Jingdezhen. Compared to all those extremely similar tourist attractions, I'd much rather go to places like this where I can learn something. 📍Sculpture Porcelain Factory ⭐️⭐️⭐️ · If I were to buy porcelain, I would choose this place. The items aren't outrageously expensive, but they have a better feel than those in Taoyang New Village. Based on experience, I recommend visiting 5⭐️+4⭐️ attractions + 3⭐️ selectively.

Autumn in Fuzhou is a painting you can collect without traveling far. In Fenggang River Wetland Park, vast patches of colorful forests freely spread under the clear sky, with deep reds, golden yellows, and lush greens intertwining, reflected on the tranquil river surface, with light and shadow dancing. The Chinese tallow trees in Sanjiang Wetland Park are purely and brilliantly red, burning alone under the blue sky. When it comes to a feast of colors, it has to be Sanweng Garden. Here, the dawn redwoods are vividly red, the red maples are deep and rich like clouds, and the yellowwood and soapberry trees bloom with bright orange and yellow, with various vivid color blocks interweaving and colliding, framing the pavilions and towers with the most splendid and warm autumn border. Photo locations: 1. Sanweng Garden 2. Sanjiang Wetland Park 3. Fenggang River Wetland Park

In early winter, the ginkgo trees at Zhengjue Temple in Wenchangli reach their peak viewing period, instantly transforming into a "golden waterfall"! Looking up, the view is dazzling; looking down, the blue stone slabs are covered with scattered gold. The ancient temple glows with golden hues, peaceful and serene. The golden ginkgo leaves sway in the wind, complementing the red walls and dark tiles of the ancient temple, creating a breathtaking scene. Sunlight adds a touch of dreaminess and romance. The red maples at the corner burn brightly in layers of scarlet and orange, contrasting beautifully with the golden ginkgo, warm and vibrant, bringing the temple’s history to life. Visitors strolling here can feel tranquility and beauty, as if traveling through a thousand years of time. Visiting Wenchangli now offers a chance to encounter a little "apricot" luck and gain plenty of delightful surprises. The best viewing time is from December to early January, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sunlight is soft and photo opportunities are excellent. For outfits, light or plain-colored Hanfu is recommended to match the vintage red tones and the ancient street. Come to Wenchangli and check in to this stunning early winter scenery! Remember to observe respectfully and protect the ancient trees!
