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.
May 1 self-driving tour of Changting Ancient City, just happened to be raining ☔️. The red street dance in small Shanghai is not afraid of the expedition. It is very exciting! There is no parking space at the festival, and parking in the ancient city is more difficult. The famous snack bar on the street of the store has increased the price in disguise, which is very unhappy!
Changting is the famous ancient city of Tang and Song Dynasty. Many well-preserved cultural relics have become a major feature of the landscape of the ancient city of Tingzhou. It was built in the four-year Tingzhou Ancient City Wall in the Tang Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the total length of the ancient city wall in Tingzhou was more than 5,000 meters. It has 12 city gates. Form the unique pattern of "mountain in the city, city in the water" and "Buddha hanging beads".
Changting Ancient City, located in Changting County, Longyan, Fujian, the capital of the world Hakka, one of the four famous cities in Fujian, is known as "China's most beautiful mountain city" by international friend Louis Aili. For more than 1,000 years from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Changting has been the rule of the states, counties, roads and houses of the successive dynasties. The long history has left many cultural relics, and it is the third batch of national historical and cultural cities.
It's worth seeing, the red tour, a lot of memorable places.
The ancient city of Tingzhou is located in the historical city at the junction of Shanghai. There is no excessive commercialization, even lack of point development, lack of point protection, so that it feels lacking that kind of historical city atmosphere. But walking through the ancient city, the small surprises that can be encountered from time to time in the alleys still make people like this small city. Limited by the hurried itinerary, maybe find a time to taste it again.
The New Year's Eve is full of atmosphere. Personal feeling is mainly divided into three parts. First of all, the old city building needs 30 tickets to go up, there is a rest place, and a simple five-minute stroll to fix it. Then there is the ancient city wall, the right wall of the city gate, go straight until the end of the Gate Koden, return, you can return to the original road or walk around the other side of the wall, one hour or so, the longest part is this. Finally came out to the street store, the core is here, but also the most crowded place, a street, about half an hour, almost finished shopping. I went in the evening, feeling that the evening is more atmosphere, even aimless strolls can find many interesting places, mainly street stores must go.
