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.
