Changting Ancient City｜The thousand-year-old Hakka capital hides half of Fujian history

Changting, formerly known as "Tingzhou", was established in the Tang Dynasty. It is a national historical and cultural city and the spiritual hometown of Hakka people around the world. Every brick and tile here is engraved with the code of time: ✅ Tang and Song Dynasty legacy: ▪ Tang Dynasty City Wall - one of the longest existing ancient city walls, from the top you can overlook the Ting River like a belt. ▪ Song Dynasty Diantou Street: a kilometer-long bluestone road lined with shops from the Ming and Qing dynasties, a living "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". ▪ Tingzhou Examination Hall of the Ming and Qing Dynasties: The examination venue for the imperial examinations in Fujian Province during the Qing Dynasty, now a museum that houses the original “No. 1 Scholar Paper”. . ✅ Hakka culture: ▪ World Hakka Mother’s Square, a holy place for tracing roots and worshipping ancestors. ▪ The national intangible cultural heritage "Changting Gongma Chui", playing the thousand-year-old homesickness. ▪ Hakka Food Museum, where a bite of Bojiban tells the epic story of migration. . 🏡 Live in history｜Zhuangyuanlou B&B If you want to experience the real Tingzhou, you might as well live in the Zhuangyuan Building next to Wolong Academy. ▪ This was originally the "Linting Posthouse" of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was an official posthouse in the old days, and the blue bricks and black tiles still retain the style of an ancient posthouse. ▪ The 19 guest rooms are named after achievements in the imperial examinations. Tingzhou woodblock prints and old Hakka items are displayed in the rooms. When you open the window in the morning, you can see the thousand-year-old academy. ▪ Sitting around the stove in the courtyard, brewing tea and listening to the host tell the story of Ji Xiaolan writing the plaque, it feels like having a conversation with history. 📍Address: No. 13-1, Qian Street, Changting County 🚶‍♀5 minutes walk to Diantou Street and Tingzhou Examination Hall .
