Changting County, formerly known as "Tingzhou", belongs to Fujian Province, is the location of the Central Soviet Area Tingzhou City, and the place where the red flag leaped over the Ting River. It is located in the western part of Fujian Province, at the southern foot of the Wuyi Mountains, bordering Guangdong to the south and Jiangxi to the west, with a land area of 3104.16 square kilometers; it has been a key point on the border of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces since ancient times, and is known as the "west gate of Fujian Province". The county town of Changting is composed of Tingzhou Town and Datong Town. The entire county town is the place where we have lived since childhood, and there is no distinction between the ancient and new towns. The city gates are open and do not require tickets, only a few attractions require tickets. Changting city is very small, and it takes only about twenty minutes to drive around. 🚄🚙How to get there 🔴Take a high-speed train to "Changting South Station", and after exiting the station, you can take a taxi or take bus lines 3 or 5 from the parking lot to the city area, which takes about 15 minutes to reach the county town.

Changting | Half the city is filled with fireworks, the other half with poetry

New Zealand author Louis Alley once said: "The two most beautiful ancient cities in China: one is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian." 🚗Transportation ●🚄Take a high-speed train to "Changting South Station", after exiting the station you can take a taxi via gd/dd (cost about 20rmb) or take the public bus routes 3 or 5 to the county town. ●🚗If driving by yourself, just head to the urban area, find a place to park, and most attractions are within walking distance. ●🛵There are a lot of shared electric scooters in the urban area, besides taking a taxi, you can also choose an electric scooter. 🗺Recommended Route (see the last image for the route) 1️⃣Taiping Bridge Taiping Bridge is a double-corridor bridge, nearly a hundred meters long, with an elegant and simple design, upturned eaves and flying corners, like twin dragons flying over the Ting River, representing the heritage of Hakka corridor bridge skills and culture. The Hakka architecture on both sides of Tingzhou is distinctive, and it wouldn't be an overstatement to call it the little Fenghuang of Tingzhou. 2️⃣Xingxian Archway The Xingxian Archway in Changting, located on East Street of Changting County, Fujian, is a wooden pavilion that is solid and sturdy, with fine carvings. The entire structure is like a wooden art piece, heavy and full of spirit. 3️⃣Baxi Pavilion When we visited Tingzhou, the Baxi Pavilion was under renovation, so we could not enter to visit and could only stop to observe from the outside. The eight joys of Tingzhou are the joy of wedding candles, the joy of adding a family member, the joy of coming of age, the joy of setting up a stove, the joy of moving house, the joy of being listed on the golden plaque, the joy of birthdays, and the joy of a bountiful harvest. The "Tingzhou Baxi Pavilion" encapsulates the cultural essence of the Hakka people in Tingzhou, and is a microcosm of the life of the Hakka people in Tingzhou, adding luster to Changting, a city famous for its history and culture. 4️⃣Taian Bridge This is a historical preservation bridge in Tingzhou, and it is also a better spot for photographing the ancient city wall of Tingzhou. 5️⃣Tingzhou Ancient City Wall (Jichuan Gate) The current Jichuan Gate tower was rebuilt after consulting numerous ancient books and seeking opinions from various parties. The three big characters "Jichuan Gate" on the front of the city gate tower were inscribed by the Song Dynasty calligraphy master Huang Tingjian. 6️⃣Tingzhou Confucian Temple The Tingzhou Confucian Temple, also known as the Kong Temple or Tingzhou Prefecture School, was built in the third year of the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty and is an important place for the promotion of Confucianism in the eight counties of Ting. 7️⃣Diantou Street Diantou Street, located in Changting County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, was built during the Tang Dynasty. It is the most famous ancient street in Changting and was the earliest commercial district of the ancient city of Tingzhou. "Diantou" in the Hakka language refers to the best shops. 8️⃣Sanyuan Pavilion Sanyuan Pavilion is located in the ancient city of Tingzhou, originally built during the Tang Dynasty's Dali period, originally named Yijiang Gate, later renamed Guangchu Gate, with a city tower built in the twelfth year of the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, and renamed "Sanyuan Pavilion" during the Qing Dynasty. 9️⃣Wolong Academy The Wolong Academy in Changting was originally built during the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty and is the earliest academy recorded in the historical documents of Tingzhou. After reconstruction, it has attracted a large number of tourists to visit and check in.

It's not just Hunan's Fenghuang! Fujian also has such a thousand-year-old ancient city!

International friend Louis Allee once said, 'China has the most beautiful two small towns, one is Hunan's Fenghuang and the other is Fujian's Changting.' Changting is really beautiful now! It's definitely worth a visit!! 🚉Travel Tips: Take the high-speed train to Changting South Station. After exiting the station, take a taxi or bus to the city center, which takes about 10-15 minutes by taxi. If you're driving, head straight to the city center, find a place to park, and then walk around. The city center is very small, but there are many shared electric bikes which are very practical, so it's recommended to ride these. About Accommodation: The county town is very small, so wherever you stay is convenient, as long as it's in the city center. Many homestays can't be reached directly by car, so I personally recommend staying in a hotel, as hotels in the city center are very convenient. 💗Recommended Route: 1 Taiping Bridge Taiping Bridge is a double-corridor bridge, nearly a hundred meters long, with an elegant and simple shape, upturned eaves, like two dragons flying over the Ting River, representing the heritage of Hakka corridor bridge skills and culture. The Hakka architecture on both sides of Tingzhou is distinctive, and it wouldn't be an overstatement to call it the little Fenghuang of Tingzhou. 2 Xianfang Changting Xianfang is located on Dongda Street in Changting County, Fujian. It is a wooden pavilion that is solid and sturdy, with fine carvings, and the entire building is like a wooden artwork, heavy and full of spirit. 3 Ba Xi Guan When we visited Tingzhou, Ba Xi Guan was under renovation, so we could only stop and watch from the outside. The eight joys of Tingzhou are the joys of wedding, childbirth, adulthood, setting up a stove, moving house, passing the imperial examination, birthday, and harvest. The 'Tingzhou Ba Xi Guan' encapsulates the essence of Tingzhou Hakka culture and is a microcosm of the life of the Hakka people in Tingzhou, adding luster to Changting, a historical and cultural city. 4 Taian Bridge This is a historical preservation bridge in Tingzhou, and it is also a better spot for photographing the ancient city wall of Tingzhou. 5 Tingzhou Ancient City Wall (Jichuan Gate) The current Jichuan Gate tower was rebuilt after consulting numerous ancient books and seeking opinions from various parties. The three big characters 'Jichuan Gate' on the front of the gate tower were inscribed by the Song Dynasty calligraphy master Huang Tingjian. 6 Tingzhou Confucian Temple Tingzhou Confucian Temple, also known as the Temple of Confucius, Tingzhou Prefectural School, was built in the third year of the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty and is an important place for the promotion of Confucianism in the eight counties of Ting.

Changting | A quaint ancient city, half filled with fireworks, half with poetry

If you find the ancient city of Quanzhou too crowded, why not take a stroll in Changting Ancient City in Longyan? It offers a more rustic, lively, and homely atmosphere. Changting Ancient City has a history of a thousand years, built by the mountains and waters, with many well-preserved ancient buildings that are also part of the local people's daily lives. I really like this kind of scenery that is full of the marks of time and yet so naturally beautiful. 📍Location: Changting Ancient City, Longyan 🚉Transportation tips: 🚄Take the high-speed train to 'Changting South Station'. After exiting the station, you can take a (about 20rmb) or take the routes 3 or 5 to the county town. If you're driving, just head to the urban area, find a place to park, and the attractions are within walking distance. 🛵There are many shared electric scooters in the urban area, which are an alternative to taxis. 🎫Ticket: No ticket is needed to wander around the ancient city, but to visit the Jizhou Gate, Baxi Pavilion, Dafudi, and Wolong Academy, you need to buy tickets. A combined ticket for these four attractions is 88rmb. 📷The ancient city area is not large, and all attractions are within walking distance, making it very suitable for a citywalk. 🌃The night view is beautiful, with a light show, and a night cruise costs 70rmb per person. There are many homestays in the ancient city, but many are located in the inner alleys where it's hard to reach directly by taxi. Hotels are relatively more convenient for transportation and are not expensive. ☕️There are many popular cafes along the riverbanks of the ancient city, with great views and photogenic spots. It's also nice to just relax in a cafe if you don't feel like walking. The ancient city is small, and a simple tour can be done in half a day. If you want a more in-depth visit or to try all the local delicacies, a two-day trip is recommended. The city is busier on weekends and holidays, so it's suggested to visit on weekdays for a more leisurely small-town vibe.

Changting is really beautiful now 😘❤️🇨🇳

#chinatrip Fujian!! You're confused here without promoting it! International friend Louis Ellie once said, "China has two of the most beautiful small towns, one is Fenghuang in Hunan and the other is Changting in Fujian." Changting is really beautiful now! It's worth a visit!! But this is a promise to me!! The method to determine the real difference between holidays in Changting is to listen to advice. The experience of public holidays is really poor, accommodation is expensive, and people are crowded!! Good accommodation on weekdays, Changting is very small during holidays, and two days and one night on weekends is enough. Let me, a native of Changting, tell you how to play and eat!! Attack on food, transportation, and accommodation attractions, complete all accommodations 5-700, currently locked in social activities. Take a mobile car to Changting South Station, 10-15 minutes after exiting the station, then take a taxi or bus to the city area, and take a taxi

Whether you like it or not, you have to try the soaked pig kidney, even if you don't eat it, you will like it, fresh and without any strange taste. Wine-scented river frog and abalone sauce tofu are also good. 🏯Baxi Pavilion A very characteristic place, filled with a simple and elegant atmosphere. In addition, Baxi Pavilion also cleverly uses sound, light, electricity, and other modern technologies to vividly display the "eight joys" culture of the Tingzhou Hakka people. It's relatively cost-effective to buy a package ticket during the day, I skipped it at night. 🍡Shuidong Street Characterized by the Republic of China-style architecture, Little Red Shanghai, and Hakka cuisine, it is a distinctive block where historical culture and commercial streets intertwine. Specialty snack street: potato cakes, boiled beef, dustpan boards, taro dumplings, soaked pig kidneys, etc. 🏘️Tingzhou Ancient City Wall (Jichuan Gate) A very representative large city gate, it's more cost-effective to buy a joint ticket, you can climb the city wall, and it's also beautiful to take pictures at night, worth checking in for photos 📸. 🎑Diantou Street A historical street, there are many old shops with history to visit, and it is also a paradise for foodies 🏯Confucian Temple An important historical and cultural heritage, an important place to display and inherit Confucian culture. It retains its simple and spectacular appearance. 🐉Wolong Academy It is said to be suitable for photography and checking in, the night tour of Wolong Academy, the entrance is still very magnificent. It's more cost-effective to buy a joint ticket during the day. Changting Ancient City is a beautiful small city that blends ancient and modern. Although the night tour did not go deep into the attractions, it also felt the relaxed life of the small city, enjoying a sense of tranquility and composure here.

The Capital of Hakka - The Splendid Tingzhou (Part II): Changting County Museum

The Changting County Museum is one of the earliest established comprehensive county-level museums in Fujian Province, located beside Zhaozheng Road, the main thoroughfare of Tingzhou Town. The Changting County Museum is housed in the former site of the Fujian Soviet Government, and is recognized as a national excellent patriotic education base, a national 4A-level red tourism scenic area, a national third-level museum, a Fujian provincial party history education base, and a Fujian provincial national defense education base, among others. The exhibition hall is mainly divided into the basic displays 'Tingzhou Hakka History Exhibition', 'Central Soviet Area Red Shanghai Exhibition', 'Fujian-born Generals of the Republic Exhibition', 'History of the Fujian Soviet Government Exhibition', and 'The Red Banner of Iron and Blood - The Combat History Exhibition of the Red 34th Division', which are important venues and bases for Changting County to carry out patriotic education, party conduct and clean government education, and youth education. On the right side of the museum is the Tingzhou Hakka Museum, which mainly showcases the history, culture, traditional arts, and cultural relics of the Tingzhou Hakka. This exhibition includes four parts: 'Thousands of Miles Southward Migration - Prosperity along the Ting River', 'Capital of Hakka - Prosperous City', 'Hakka Charm - Renowned throughout China', and 'Setting Sail from the Ting River - Towards the World'. The central hall of the museum is the former site of the Fujian Soviet Government. On March 18, 1932, the first Fujian Provincial Congress of Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers was held here, with more than 100 delegates attending. Representatives from the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet were present, including Ren Bishi, who attended and guided the congress, leading to the formal establishment of the Fujian Soviet Government. Behind the auditorium are the former offices of the eight functional departments under the provincial Soviet and the detention place of the early Communist leader Qu Qiubai. The rear hall now houses the 'History of the Fujian Soviet Government Exhibition', which is divided into four parts: 'The Great Feat - The Solemn Birth of the Fujian Soviet', 'Striving for Excellence - A Glorious Model of Democratic Governance', 'Forging Ahead with Determination - The Lofty Monument Built with Blood', and 'Pursuing Dreams of Revival - Vigorously Composing the Fujian Chapter'. The 'Red Little Shanghai' Exhibition Hall in the Central Soviet Area is located on the left side of the museum, containing four parts: 'The City of a Turning Point in the Chinese Revolution', 'The Economic Capital of the Central District', 'The Cultural Stronghold of the Central Soviet Area', and 'The Hometown of the Red Army Renowned throughout China'. Inside the museum, there are two lush and vibrant cypress trees, planted during the Tang Dynasty, which experts have determined to be over 1,200 years old. These cypress trees, with their thick trunks and a height of about 12 meters, are extremely precious ancient trees in Changting County and are known as the 'Cypress Kings' of Fujian.

Tingzhou Ancient City | High Cost-Performance Strategy

College students traveling on a budget, this is how to save a lot of money! Depart from Quanzhou Station, take the high-speed train🚅 directly to Changting South Station. After exiting the station, you can take a taxi or a bus, the commute time is about the same, taxi costs ¥20, bus🚌 costs two coins. 🏠For accommodation, we chose the Changting Wangjiang Residence Inn, which has a reasonable cost-performance ratio, and in the off-season, it's just over a hundred. They offer a complimentary scenic spot pass (the pass alone costs 95 yuan), which allows access to 5 attractions (Jichuanmen City Wall, Baxi Pavilion, Doctor's Residence, Wolong Academy, Woodworking Training Center). It's recommended to choose one that comes with a ticket, which is almost like getting accommodation for free. 🙋Jichuanmen is suitable for visiting at night. Go out around 7 pm, you can choose the Tingjiang Night Tour project (half price for students at 40 yuan), which lasts about 30min and includes a light show, quite nice. After the boat tour, you can walk to Jichuanmen City Wall, scan the code to enter, make sure to do so before 21:00, recommended visiting time is 30min. Afterwards, you can go to the vicinity of Wolong Academy to check in the famous quote by Louis Ai Lai. 🙋The next morning, go out around 8 am for a walk to feel the atmosphere of the ancient city, and you can see laundry being washed by the river. The morning itinerary is recommended to include Baxi Pavilion, Doctor's Residence, and Woodworking Training Center. Leave around 9 am, and after a ten-minute walk, you'll reach Baxi Building (Baxi Pavilion and Doctor's Residence are connected). The online information says it opens at 9 am, but it's actually 10 am, so if you arrive early, you can first visit the Woodworking Training Center, take a quick tour for about ten minutes, and learn about woodworking development and Hakka architecture. After that, you can visit the nearby Tianhou Palace, enter the attractions around 10 am, and Baxi Pavilion and Doctor's Residence can be visited in 30min, with a performance at Baxi Pavilion at 11 am (one of the Eight Joys). After exiting, you can go to Guizhi Sweet Soup Shop to check in and take photos with a great vibe. 🙋Afternoon itinerary, visit Wolong Academy. Wolong Academy is recommended for 1h of visiting time, and be careful❗️when walking, as it's easy to sprain your ankle if you're not used to the stairs. After exiting, you can go to Diantou Street and Sanyuan Pavilion. Food recommendations: Stewed pig kidney, boiled beef with an average price of 15-20 Boji Ba, near Sanyuan Pavilion, costs 5 yuan per serving, not particularly tasty Dengzhan Cake, vegetarian 2 yuan/piece, with meat 3 yuan/piece Changting dried tofu (this is delicious!) Ginger candy (lots of ginger candy shops) If there are no other plans, you can return! If you have plenty of time, you can choose the bus, Changting No. 3 route, no need for a Longyan bus card, just use the payment code to pay.

Hakka Capital

Fujian Longyan City, Changting County, "Beautiful Tingzhou, the Capital of Hakka". It seems like everywhere claims to be the capital of Hakka; it's like South Africa, which has three capitals. During the Tang Dynasty, Fujian had five prefectures: Jianzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou, which is how Fujian got its name. Changting is a national historical and cultural city, with the Southern Song Dynasty Wolong Academy (first four pictures), ancient city walls, etc. The last two pictures are of red cultural relics; Chairman Mao once stayed and drank well water here.

The Moments are blowing up! It's really in Fujian, in Changting, Longyan

Following the trend on Little Ctrip has been the most successful ever😍😍, and it turns out to be in Changting🤩🤩! International friend Louis Aly once said: 'There are two of the most beautiful towns in China, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian.' Changting today is truly breathtaking😍, and definitely worth a visit!! ⚠️However, be aware❗❗ Do not come to Changting during public holidays😭😭. Take my advice😣! During the holidays, Changting is not only crowded👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, but accommodation prices are outrageously high!! What usually costs 100 yuan could go up to 500-700 yuan😱. Changting is small, and a two-day weekend trip is enough👒. Let me, a native of Changting, tell you how to play and eat here~🎉🎊. I've got all the strategies for food🥘, transportation🚌, accommodation🛏, and attractions✨! - 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed train to , and from there you can take a taxi🚕 or a bus to the city center, which takes about 10-15 minutes. If you're driving🚗, just head to the city center, find a place to park, and then you can walk around. The city center is small, taxis are hard to get during holidays, but there are many shared electric scooters🛵, which are very practical, and I recommend cycling. - 🏠Accommodation: The county town is not big, and it's convenient to stay anywhere. As long as you are in the main urban area, a taxi ride to anywhere will basically cost you 10 yuan🤑. However, many homestays can't be reached directly by car, so I personally recommend staying in a hotel🏬. - 🏞Attractions: Here are a few must-visit spots. ✅Jichuan Gate: Climb the city gate and take in the night view of Tingzhou🎇. ✅Dafudi: The number one carved building in Fujian, truly lives up to its reputation👍. ✅Tingzhou Baxi Hall: Showcases the eight great joys of Hakka life🎊. ✅Wolong Academy: Features Huizhou-style architecture donated by Jackie Chan, better to visit during the day🌞. ✅Diantou Street: A charming ancient street with lots of snacks and specialties🛍. ✅Sanyuan Pavilion-Museum-Tingzhou Examination Hall-Confucian Temple: All on one line, you can stroll along and check in📸. ✅Dingwuling: A Hakka mountain fortress, a village without mosquitoes for a thousand years🦟. ✅Qu'aoli Wharf: The Tingzhou wharf, with a southern charm. - 🎫Tickets: Except for Dingwuling and Qu'aoli Wharf, other attractions do not require tickets. A combo ticket for four attractions is 88 yuan per person. - 🍱Food: Hakka cuisine is endlessly delicious😋! Here are a few of my favorite Hakka restaurants and snack shops. ✅Xunwei Tingzhou, ✅Shengquan Snacks, ✅Chengqiang Fried Potato Cakes, ✅Xuancheng Boji Board, ✅Laoke Wei, ✅Baxi Courtyard, ✅Qixing Restaurant, ✅Axiu Clear Soup Noodles, ✅Old Store Dry Steamed Meat, ✅Qinhui Nan Food Restaurant... - 🛣Itinerary: ✔Day 1: Arrive in Changting at noon→Have lunch on Shuidong Street→Visit attractions inside Taiping Bridge and Dongda Street in the afternoon→Jichuan Gate→Diantou Street→Sanyuan Pavilion→Wolong Academy→Diantou Street for dinner→Stroll again at night to enjoy the night view🌃. ✔Day 2: Take a taxi to Dingwuling or Qu'aoli Wharf, return to the county town for lunch, and buy some Changting specialties like dried tofu in the afternoon🎁. ⚠️Friendly Reminder: Do not drive yourself to Changting during holidays, park your car at the hotel, and then use shared bicycles for transportation🚲.

Fujian Changting Ancient City One-Day Tour Accommodation & Cuisine

Hello everyone! I'm Little Fatty Duck! This series mainly introduces the travel guide for self-driving from Shenzhen to Fujian during the National Day holiday. This article introduces the ancient city of Changting in Longyan City. Changting Ancient City is one of the most complete, largest, and most representative ancient cities in China, with a history of more than 2,500 years. It preserves a large number of historical and cultural sites and architectural buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. 📌Location: Changting Ancient City 🎫Ticket: The ancient city walls are free, but entering specific scenic areas requires a ticket. ⏰Time Route: day1: 21:00 Arrive at Changting Ancient City, Shoutou Street→22:00 Late-night snack at a restaurant→22:30 Stroll along the ancient city wall→24:00 Return to the hotel for rest day2: 12:00 Stroll in Changting Ancient City→13:50 Lunch→14:23 Electric donkey ride→15:30 Leave Changting ⛰️Tour Guide: ❗Sanyuan Pavilion: The city wall is well-maintained and still glorious after many years. ❗Shoutou Street: Mostly souvenir shops, quite commercialized and not very interesting to browse. ❗Ancient City Wall: The buildings light up at night and reflect on the river surface, creating a pretty scene. ❗Taiping Bridge: The weather blesses the scenery on both sides of the Ting River, which is beautiful and quaint. ⚠️It's hard to get a taxi in Changting. There are many shared electric donkeys on the streets, and there are not many pedestrians, so riding is smooth, especially a section that passes through the ancient city, giving a feeling of traveling through time. Riding an electric donkey turned out to be our happiest memory in Changting 🍚Cuisine: ❗Shoutou Street: 【Changting Stinky Tofu】 Changting's dried tofu is famous, and there are shops selling dried tofu souvenirs everywhere. But we wanted to eat freshly made ones, so we bought this stinky tofu, which doesn't smell bad, but is full of bean flavor! ❗【A Certain Restaurant】⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ →Environment: Spacious with plenty of seats, the overall environment is average but clean →Dishes: Features various local specialties, such as boiled beef, boiled pig tongue, etc. Unfortunately, the two of us couldn't eat them all, otherwise, we would have liked to try everything! Boiled Pig Kidney: The pig kidney slices are large and crisp, without any gamey taste, the soup is just salty enough, and very savory. Stuffed Meat Cooked Noodles: The beef is plentiful, and the soup is rich. 🏠Accommodation: 【Yijia Hotel】 Hotels in Changting were quite tight during the National Day holiday, mostly fully booked. We looked around and only found this one available for on-the-spot booking, which was fairly clean, but not very cost-effective. If you plan to visit during the National Day holiday, it is recommended to book in advance. 🎈Overall Review: ❗From a tourism perspective: ⭐⭐⭐ The attractions are quite scattered, mainly focusing on historical introductions, with relatively limited entertainment. ❗From a photography perspective: ⭐⭐⭐ Some parts of the ancient city are within the urban area, and modern residential buildings may appear in the frame. The daytime scenery of Taiping Bridge is quite nice!

Tingzhou ancient city

Some say that not visiting Tingzhou is equivalent to not having been to Longyan City, so I decided to take a look. It turns out that this city is indeed filled with historical culture and is known as the 'Capital of the Hakka'. Seeing the leisurely and comfortable life of the people in the ancient city was very soothing. This ancient city truly deserves one to slow down and experience it. I happened to see a movie scene being filmed in the ancient city,

The capital of Hakka, no less impressive than the ancient city of Phoenix

Changting Ancient City, which began in the Tang and Song dynasties, once served as the administrative center of Tingzhou. Walking on the old streets paved with bluestone slabs, the simple houses on both sides are staggered, as if traveling through a time tunnel, each brick and tile tells a long story. The old city wall stands tall, and the Guangji Gate is like a seal of the ancient city, recording the past years of war and peace. The mansion of the doctor attracts tourists with its exquisite wood carving craftsmanship and typical Ming and Qing architectural styles, showing the elegant life scene of ancient scholars. The Baxi Pavilion vividly reproduces the folk customs of Hakka, immersing people in a strong local cultural atmosphere. The Temple of Heaven, where incense is flourishing, Mazu culture is inherited here, entrusting people's beautiful wishes for peace and life at sea. The Wolong Academy is undoubtedly the finishing touch of this trip. It is located at the southern foot of Wolong Mountain and dates back to the Baoyou period of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is one of the oldest academies in the ancient city of Tingzhou. The academy building complex is quiet and solemn, and the Huizhou-style building 'Longxuetang' is particularly eye-catching. This is a treasure generously donated by international movie star Jackie Chan, which together with the lecture hall and the scripture library constitutes a world full of book fragrance and ink charm.

The most beautiful towns in China, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, do you know where the other one is?

Louis Ali said, "China has the two most beautiful towns, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, the other is Changting in Fujian", which shows how beautiful Changting is. Changting, known as Tingzhou in ancient times, is the capital of Hakka. The old stone slab road, the old city gate, the unique Hakka traditional culture, all reveal the long history of this small city. Xiamen-Changting transportation: self-driving or high-speed rail is very convenient. High-speed rail can take you to Changting South Station, and then a 20-minute taxi ride to the ancient city. Self-driving takes about 4 hours. Attractions: You can buy a four-point ticket for the city area (Doctor's House + Wolong Academy + Baxi Pavilion + Jichuan Gate) + boat (night view). Delicacies: Soaked pig kidney, fried potato cake, dustpan rice, Hetian chicken are must-try dishes. →Ps: The ancient city is beautiful during the day, and the night view is even more beautiful at night, and the prices are very cheap. It is a small city worth experiencing slowly. Walking in the ancient city wall of Jichuan Gate for a thousand years, feeling the comfortable wind of the ancient city, immersing in the lecture hall of Wolong Academy, feeling the essence of national etiquette, viewing the Hakka Exhibition Hall of Life's Eight Joys, understanding the style of life's ceremony, let's explore the profound Hakka culture of "Changting" together!

The two most beautiful ancient cities in China: one is Phoenix in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian

Changting Ancient City, also known as Tingzhou Ancient City, is a national historical and cultural city, the world's Hakka capital, a national AAAA scenic spot, and one of the five major states in Fujian during the Tang Dynasty. There are many attractions in the ancient city: 1.
