The overall experience was good. The train took five hours to go round trip, stopping at two stations, and ended with a visit to the Tuanshan Folk Houses. The evening intangible cultural heritage performance was a great experience, and you could tell the company was dedicated to the cultural tourism. The service was attentive, and the performers were very dedicated and put in a lot of effort. For a county-level intangible cultural heritage performance, it was quite good.
I highly recommend the Jianshui meter-gauge train. Tickets must be booked on Ctrip at midnight three days in advance, and it's best to book a morning train. The train stops longer at noon, allowing time for shopping, dining, and rest. The scenery along the way is stunning, especially for the elderly and children, as you don't have to walk. It's highly recommended.

It's very unique. There are performances of climbing cliffs and picking bird's nests in the scenic area. There is an underground river running through the cave. The journey is a little over an hour, just right. Not bad! ! !
A family of three visited Jianshui and spent half a day exploring Swallow Cave.
Swallow Cave is quite a distance from Jianshui County, requiring a freeway ride. However, it's relatively convenient if you're driving.
The scenic area isn't very large, and the cave itself takes about an hour to explore. Taking the right lane (jokingly called the "elderly, weak, and disabled lane") at the fork in the road will shorten the visit. The return trip was a group boat ride out of the cave.
At the cave entrance, professional rock climbing demonstrations were held every half hour.
The scenery inside the cave was only average, not particularly impressive.

Stepping into the entrance and political examination shed, the strong cultural atmosphere came, as if you could see the ancient students writing and writing. In the corner of the examination shed, there is an area selling brushes and Xingtai, which is particularly striking. There are many types of brushes here, the sheep's pen is soft and delicate, the ink absorbing is strong, and the words written are round and smooth; the wolf's pen is full of elasticity and strong stroke, suitable for outline lines and writing strong fonts; and the millipen combines the advantages of both, rigid and soft, to meet different writing needs. The pen poles are varied in material, with rustic bamboo poles and beautifully textured wooden poles, which are comfortable to hold. The xingtai is also a variety of shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. There are simple and simple rectangular xingtais, with smooth and neat lines; There are also exquisitely carved patterns, such as dragon and phoenix Xiang, Songhe Yannian, etc., which means beautiful and lifelike. These glazes are excellent in texture, fast and delicate and uniform, so that the ink can maintain a good writing state. Whether it is calligraphy lovers or tourists who want to buy souvenirs, they can find their favorites here and bring this unique cultural memory home.
Deep in the academic and political examination shed, the Han Mo god is quiet and standing, and the blue brick and gray tiles are ink and time precipitation. God is not big, but worships the "pen tip god" in the hearts of the people, like the right hand holding Zhu pen, the left hand holding ink bucket, although the gold paint is a bit mottled, the eyes are still sharp as a front, as if pointing out the imperial examination era of the Zhuangyuan Lang's gentle and elegant, as if the case on the incense stove lingers around the light musk all year round. Shenju left behind the ink treasure left by candidates throughout the generations, there are law poems made on the spot, there are neat little scorpions, the handwriting is hidden in the bitterness of the cold window for ten years and the hope of the title of the gold list, the ink fragrance mixed with the smell of old paper, quietly telling the spring and autumn on the tip of the pen.

The Lin'an Prefecture Office, a towering ancient structure, stands tall within the ancient city of Lin'an, Jianshui, drawing visitors from far and wide.
Although its former glory has faded, its quaint architecture and rich historical heritage continue to attract visitors, becoming a vital part of Jianshui's ancient city culture.
Entrance to the Lin'an Prefecture Office requires a ticket, so I only took a few photos outside.
This is Jianshui City, Yunnan Province, Lin'an Government Office, used to be the economic, political and cultural center of Jianshui District, was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and now it is the pattern of the Qing Dynasty, and has become a famous attraction in Jianshui City. This place must be a regional official residence, the construction of the atmosphere is magnificent, the momentum is magnificent. There are Yimen, lobby, Ertang, inner house gate six into the courtyard, East Fenxuan, Hu, Lisanke, West Fenbing, Criminal, and Gongsanke. Especially the lobby Spiegel high-hanging font has a majestic momentum, which is daunting. This is worth visiting for everyone to understand.
