What else is there in Jianshui besides tofu?

"The land of culture and literature in southern Yunnan"—Jianshui. The star⭐️ journey begins with a high-speed train🚄 ride from Gejiu to Jianshui (Gejiu is my favorite place on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway line, which I will write about later). First, let's take a look at Jianshui. There are quite a few iconic attractions: Zhu Family Garden, Confucius Temple, Purple Pottery Street, Chaoyang Tower, and Pupu Spring. Pupu Spring, also known as Daban Well, is a famous ancient well within the old city of Jianshui. Located outside the west gate of the old city, it was built in the early years of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty and has a long history and rich cultural connotations. The name of Pupu Spring comes from the 'Zhong Yong' in the Confucian classics, which means 'broad and profound, and the water flows out in time,' symbolizing that the water source is extensive, deep, and never-ending. Due to the excellent water quality, locals often drink this water, and the well is always bustling. Many households and teahouses drink only water from Daban Well, believing it to be sweet and smooth, with a unique flavor. People come to fetch water here every day, and some even carry water from Daban Well to sell on the streets, creating a unique business model. Jianshui tofu, made with water from this well, is delicious and an indispensable part of the old city of Jianshui. 🚉Transportation tips: High-speed train🚄 Mengzi-Jianshui It is about 7 kilometers from Jianshui Station to the old city of Jianshui. You can take the 919 bus next to the high-speed train station for about 35 minutes, or a Didi ride is also very convenient, costing around 12 yuan. The scenic spots are all within the old city, which is about a 10-minute walk, not far apart, within 2 kilometers. 🍽【Food Guide】 Vietnamese rolls: Opposite to Xiangmanlou on Academy Street Fei Cui Coffee: Shop No. 49 on Academy Street
