Weekend Trip｜Ganzhou｜A Highly Playable Treasure City

A two-day, one-night weekend trip to Ganzhou is finally arranged❗️ DAY 1️⃣ 🚄Shenzhen-Ganzhou West arrives at 9:40 Hotel—Wanda Plaza (Lunch)—Tongtianyan Scenic Area 4A (13:30-17:00)—Jiupin Tianxiang (Dinner)—Song Dynasty Night City DAY 2️⃣ Yongjin Gate—Floating Bridge—Songcheng Park—Jianchun Gate—Bajing Park—Yugutai Park 🚄Ganzhou West—Shenzhen returns at 15:00 🏞️Attractions: ✅Tongtianyan Scenic Area: 🎫30/person The main attractions in the scenic area include Tongtianyan, Cuiwei Rock, Wanggui Rock, Tongxin Rock, Guangfu Temple, Yushui Pool, Yuyan Pavilion, Xichun Pavilion, and Qunyu Pavilion. If you have good stamina, it is recommended to climb to Qunyu Pavilion for a bird's-eye view of the entire Ganzhou. There are cat nests placed near the Tongtianyan Temple, with many cats lazily lying around. The scenic area is really large, and it takes half a day to walk around. We went to the farthest point, Dripping Water Guanyin, and then returned the same way, taking more than three hours in total. ❗️Tips: There are not many tourists in the scenic area. It is recommended to go to slightly remote attractions with companions. The maze looks abandoned for a while and is quite scary overall. The steps down from Dripping Water Guanyin are blocked, and we didn't dare to enter the small path in the bamboo forest next to it, so we returned the same way. 🌟The cultural and creative store next to the first grotto in Jiangnan sells mineral water for 3 yuan per bottle and Sprite for 5 yuan per bottle. Other scenic spots have aunties selling mineral water for 5 yuan per bottle, which is also reasonable. ✅Song Dynasty Night City There are performances at night, and there are many tourists. Many sisters change into floral hairpins and ancient costumes for photos, which look beautiful. There are many shops around to choose from. ✅Jiangnan Songcheng Historical and Cultural Tourism Area The attractions are all within the cultural tourism area, and you can choose the starting point according to your preferences. I started from Yongjin Gate and walked all the way. There is a morning market at Jianchun Gate in the morning, which is full of life. In Bajing Park, many uncles and aunts sing, practice musical instruments, and exercise. Bajing Terrace and Yugutai are both great for photos (Yugutai is right next to Song Dynasty Night City). Tips: Because the Confucian Temple and Wei Family Courtyard were being renovated on the weekend, we didn't go. We also didn't have time to visit Zao'er Alley due to the hot weather and tight schedule. It is best to visit when the weather is cooler and take your time to stroll around. 🥘Food Overall, the cost performance is very high, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are large. Both restaurants we ate at were great. It was too hot, so we didn't have lunch on the second day. ✅Jiupin Tianxiang (Yudu Road Store) I recommend this restaurant. There were no seats when we arrived, but the owner was very nice. There was a table packing up, so we were allowed to order first and sit at the reserved table to wait. The dishes are freshly cooked. Since we can't eat spicy food, the owner specially noted to make it mildly spicy for us. The taste of the dishes was very good, and the wok hei was strong. Go early, or the signature dishes will be gone.

Tongtian Rock in Ganzhou, Jiangxi | A hidden fairyland in the world

📍Detailed address: Tongtian Rock Scenic Area, Shuixi Town, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Review of the visit experience: Hey, family! Today I came to Tongtian Rock in Ganzhou, as if I traveled back to ancient times! The rocky cliffs here are naturally formed, reminding me of the phrase 'The towering Jian Ge is so precipitous that one man can hold the pass against ten thousand'. Each scene has its unique charm, as if telling stories of a thousand years. Walking through the mountains, I seem to see the footprints left by the ancients. It is said that even Su Dongpo was captivated by this magnificent scenery and left behind everlasting verses. The grottoes here are even more astonishing, as if they are witnesses to history, narrating the past's glory. Itinerary schedule: • Morning: Visit the grottoes of Tongtian Rock and feel the accumulation of history. • Noon: Taste the local cuisine. • Afternoon: Continue to explore the natural landscape and appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers. Special tips: 1. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking to do. 2. Bring a camera to capture the beautiful moments 3. Listen to the guide's explanation to better understand the history and culture of Tongtian Rock.

Ganzhou Tongtianyan Scenic Area

Tongtianyan is a scenic area in Ganzhou with Danxia landform. Not only are there various Buddha statues carved in the scenic area, but also the old place where Wang Yangming lectured in the past, known as the first grotto in Jiangnan. The Buddha statues in the scenic area are different, somewhat similar to cliff carvings, where you can sit down and contemplate. Those who are interested in Wang Yangming culture and his mind learning can also stay here for a while.

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.

Tongtianyan is full of strength and has won the reputation of the first grotto in the south of the Yangtze River

Ganzhou is an underestimated tourist city. Such a worthwhile scenic spot has few people, shaded trails, surrounded by lakes, immersed in it, pleasing to the eye, refreshing. I listen to the birdsong, the sound of running water, and the sound of the wind blowing through the forest. Here is so quiet that any sound becomes more obvious, acorns fall to the ground, fish blow bubbles on the surface of the lake, bamboo bursts its coat... I came here alone, no one talked to me, completely immersed in it. I was moved by the scenery in front of me, and shocked by the national treasure grottoes preserved here. From Ganzhou city to Tongtianyan scenic area is only more than ten kilometers, here is the typical Danxia landform of the sandstone mountain, there are 315 grottoes, 359 body statues mainly distributed on the rock wall. These stone niches and statues were opened in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are also later and modern statues. The huge reclining Buddha was built in 1998, which will also become a cultural relic in the eyes of future generations. The statues around Guangfu Chanlin Temple still have 8 Tang Dynasty statues, one of which is called priceless by Mr. Shen Congwen, and there are also Song Dynasty Huayan Three Saints stone niche statues. Although Tongtianyan scenic area is not as shocking as the famous mountains and rivers, it has thousands of years of historical memory; although it is not as famous as the northern grottoes, it can also fully win the reputation of "the first grotto in the south of the Yangtze River". Pan Pan highly recommends it! Tickets: 30 yuan for adults, discounts for children and the elderly, no secondary consumption inside. Tour time and tips: The tour route is divided into inner and outer rings. The inner ring includes the statues divided into five rocks and takes 2 hours; the outer ring includes climbing and circling the lake. If you walk well, it takes 5 hours. The mountains here are not high, the scenery is very good, and there are small shops selling water and packaged snacks. It is recommended to bring some food, and water can be bought on site. Remember to take the garbage away. The toilet facilities are in good condition.
