Checked in at the Fushou Ditch Museum in Ganzhou, Jiangxi.
The Fushou Ditch Museum is the only underground drainage system museum in the country. I came here to learn this time.
Fushou Ditch is the underground drainage system of Song Dynasty Ganzhou that the city is most proud of. The waterway of this drainage system from the Northern Song Dynasty is shaped like the Chinese characters for 'fortune' and 'longevity', hence the name Fushou Ditch. This 'thousand-year flood-free' urban underground drainage system, with its brick and stone structure, crisscrossing support ditches, and design that includes zone drainage, automatic water volume adjustment, and automatic water window opening and closing, is also the underground drainage system that Song Dynasty Ganzhou is most proud of.
The museum has two floors above ground and one below. The first floor and the basement are the main exhibition areas, while the second floor is mainly for the museum's special exhibitions, research and learning areas, and offices. The exhibition area consists of six major parts: the preface hall, the origin of Fushou, the wisdom of Fushou, the sponge city, lessons from other mountains, and the inheritance postscript.
The Fushou Ditch Museum is more like a science popularization base. In the exhibition design, it uses mirrors, projections, structures, and artistic installations as interactive experiences, immersive virtual roaming, bringing visitors a 'real' time-travel experience. For friends who like to study urban water system management, remember to check in.

Ganzhou is really suitable for special forces
📍What is the most important thing for special forces when traveling?
✅Of course, it is to visit most of the attractions in a city in the shortest time. Ganzhou is quite suitable, as the distances between attractions are not too far. If you are good at walking, you can finish in one day with about 25,000 steps.
✅If you don't like the special forces style of travel and want to have a good experience, Ganzhou also has high playability with various buildings and historical cultures. If you are a girl who likes to take photos, you can change into Hanfu or Quanzhou's hairpins. Places like Ganzhou's Jiangnan Song City, Zao'er Lane, and Ganzhou Wen Temple are very photogenic.
📍Route
Ganzhou Station - Wei Family Courtyard - Fushou Gully Museum (next to Wei Family Courtyard) - Ganzhou Wen Temple - Fuliang Ancient Temple (can pass by) - Zao'er Lane - Ancient Floating Bridge - Eight Mirror Platform - Chiang Kai-shek's Former Residence - Yu Gu Tai - Jiangnan Song City - Military Gate Tower - Standard Clock (you can also do it in reverse)
✅Recommended
Wei Family Courtyard - Ganzhou Wen Temple - Zao'er Lane - Ancient Floating Bridge - Eight Mirror Platform - Yu Gu Tai are all very nice and suitable for taking photos and checking in.

A Ganzhou city, half of the Song Dynasty history
Ganzhou Song City is the best preserved Northern Song city in our country today, especially the waterfront city with the most Song Dynasty relics.
Entering Ganzhou ancient city, it's like being in the 'Song City Museum', hence the reputation of 'Jiangnan Song City'.
Here is the 'First Grotto in Jiangnan' - Tongtian Rock, the only Song Dynasty inscription brick city wall in the country, the ancient waterway - the ancient floating bridge that has been used for nearly 900 years and is made up of 100 wooden boats connected by iron chains, the only ancient drainage system still in use in China - the ancient Fushou ditch, the birthplace of China's eight scenic spots culture - Bajing Platform, and the Yugu Tower where the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji left the eternal song 'Buddha Savage·Book Jiangxi Zao Kou Wall'.
Here, you can not only taste the ancient style, but also the combination of national tide. Here, you can stroll around the ancient city, live in Song Street, cross Song Bridge, watch eight scenes, wear Song clothes, wander between heaven and earth, live a hot life in the small city, and enjoy the world's fireworks.
Song City recommends everyone to go at night! At night, the ancient city + lights give me a special prosperous feeling, just like the bustling night market of the Song Dynasty!
There are some small stalls in the middle of the road, selling some exquisite hairpins, sachets, handmade products and Song City's cultural creations, and the gate will also have projection storytelling, very historical~
Song City is quite large, my good friend and I strolled for more than 2 hours, everywhere is the ancient scenery. Ganzhou·Jiangxi
