The Chenghuang Temple complex in Xinjiang, Jincheng, which includes the three famous towers (Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Music Tower), is a historical and less-known tourist attraction

The three towers of Jincheng are very close to the Longxing Temple mentioned in the previous article, just a 3-minute drive away, so you can check them out together when visiting Xinjiang! ❤️ Admission: Both the three towers and the Chenghuang Temple are free, and there is a ticket for the Jincheng Prefecture Scenic Area behind them, which costs 20 yuan. 🧡 Parking: Free, just navigate to the Chenghuang Temple, where there is a visitor center for parking, which is very convenient. 💛 Suggested visiting time: 2 hours (mainly for photography) 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 As you walk out of the parking lot, you can directly see Yapo, which is very photogenic, so make sure to take pictures here!!! The stones on the entire slope have a sense of age. Then, as you walk along, you will see the Music Tower, Bell Tower, and Chenghuang Temple in turn. It is recommended to visit the Chenghuang Temple first, and after coming out of the temple, go through the middle of the Drum Tower (the red one), and the Bell Tower is not far on the right. It was not open the day I visited, so I could only look at it from a distance; inside is a very large bell. 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 At the parking lot, you can take a panoramic shot that includes all three towers in one frame! From left to right in p6 are: Bell Tower, Music Tower, Drum Tower. 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 The entrance to the Jincheng Prefecture Scenic Area is on the left-hand side. I didn't go in this time due to time constraints, but I had visited the first time I came here. This scenic area is quite large; the front half is mainly the ruins of the government office, and the back half is a large garden. 💓 This place is not a famous tourist destination, and not many people come here specifically for tourism, but I have had a great experience both times I visited Xinjiang. The city is full of historical charm, and while it has developed modernly, it still retains the essence of the ancient city without being too commercialized, which I really like. 💓 Last year during the May Day holiday, there was a big stage set up at the Music Tower where they were performing operas, and many grandparents were sitting on Yapo watching the show. For a moment, I felt as if I had traveled back in time. Although it is an ancient relic and a tourist spot, the Music Tower still serves its original purpose, accompanying generations of people from Jincheng...
