I thought Fenghuang Ancient Town was already beautiful until I came here

Today, I want to recommend a little-known treasure town to you—Changting, Fujian! This is the genuine "Hakka Capital," and when night falls, it looks as if a thousand years have stopped here! The thousand-year spirit of the Tang and Song ancient city gently awakens in the warm yellow lights, and the Ting River flows with the most enchanting shimmering scenes~✨ 🏮【Must-Visit for Night Tour on the Ting River】 👉 Light and Ink Painting: The reflections of ancient buildings on both banks are gently broken by colorful lights, and when the black-awning boat passes by, it stirs up a river of golden light! Recommended spot: Jichuanmen Pier, the photos are stunning and endless!📸 👉 Thousand-Year Jichuanmen Gate: The towering city gate (Address: Tingzhou Town, Changting County) outlined by warm yellow lights reveals its thousand-year contours. Climb the city tower at night to see the breathtaking scene of lanterns falling like stars into the river!🌠 👉 Huijimen Ancient Bridge: The Ming Dynasty stone bridge lies quietly over the river, its weathered body reflecting the lights (Open all day). Lean on the railing and listen to the water sounds, time seems to slow down~ 📸【Ancient City Night Walk Guide】 👉 Diantou Street Late Night (Address: Diantou Street, Changting County): Lanterns strung like a red river, warm light reflecting on the bluestone pavement, freshly fried potato cakes hot and crispy, and the fragrant stewed pig kidney is soul-stirring~ Holding a lantern cake while walking and eating is the real vibe!🍢 👉 Sanyuan Pavilion Night Scene: Under the Ming Dynasty city gate (Address: Sanyuan Pavilion, Changting County), grandmas hum Hakka folk songs, the evening breeze brings the sweet aroma of rice wine, sitting on the stone steps to listen to a live show that crosses a hundred years!🎶 👉 Ancient City Wall Light and Shadow Corridor: Stroll along the Ming Dynasty city wall (open until 10:00 PM), with a thousand years of history underfoot and thousands of lights before your eyes, every drone shot is a masterpiece!🚁 ⚠️【Nanny-Level Night Tour Tips】 1️⃣ Perfect timing: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM, when the lights come on and the blue hour sky is most photogenic! 2️⃣ Outfit tips: Hanfu/New Chinese style is always great, with the ancient city background + Ting River reflections, anyone who takes photos will look like a fairy🧚‍♀️ 3️⃣ Must take the boat! Board at Huijimen Pier (ticket 30 RMB/person), enjoy 30 minutes of the best night views of the Ting River! 🍲【Must-Try Food List】 • Fried Potato Cake: Old brand on Diantou Street, freshly fried and hot crispy, 5 RMB each💰 • Stewed Pig Kidney: Hakka specialty, fresh and flavorful, 15 RMB per bowl • Lantern Cake: Perfect for eating while walking, 3 RMB each • Hakka Rice Wine: A little sweet wine in the evening breeze, 8 RMB per cup 🚗【Perfect One-Day Itinerary】 2:00 PM Arrive in Changting and check into the hotel 3:00 PM Stroll Diantou Street and try all the snacks 6:00 PM Wait by the Ting River for the lights to come on 7:30 PM Take a black-awning boat tour (last boat at 8:00 PM) 8:30 PM Night tour of the ancient city wall to feel the thousand-year charm Friends, the night in Changting is a slightly tipsy poem brewed from a thousand years of time🌌, and the most touching Hakka stories are hidden in the glowing lights~ Quickly save this guide and go meet the low-key and stunning "younger sister of Fenghuang Ancient Town"!
