_co***29The wooden pagoda is currently under maintenance. I walked around the wooden pagoda. In front of the wooden pagoda is a square. The square is very lively at night, with many students playing basketball and citizens exercising. Behind it is the Ganzhou Night Market, with a lot of delicious food. After the wooden pagoda is repaired, it will be suitable for sightseeing.
