The two most beautiful ancient cities in China: one is Phoenix in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian

Changting Ancient City, also known as Tingzhou Ancient City, is a national historical and cultural city, the world's Hakka capital, a national AAAA scenic spot, and one of the five major states in Fujian during the Tang Dynasty. There are many attractions in the ancient city: 1. Taiping Bridge Taiping Bridge is a double corridor bridge, nearly a hundred meters long, with an elegant and simple shape, flying eaves at the corners, like two dragons flying over the Ting River, representing the inheritance of Hakka corridor bridge skills and culture. The Hakka buildings on both sides of Tingzhou are distinctive, and it is not too much to say that it is a small Phoenix in Tingzhou. 2. Xingxian Archway The Changting Xingxian Archway is located on East Street, Changting County, Fujian. It is a wooden structure pavilion, solid and finely carved. The entire building is like a wooden artwork, heavy and full of aura. 3. Baxi Hall When we went to Tingzhou, Baxi Hall was under renovation and we couldn't enter for a visit, so we could only stop and watch from the outside. The eight joys of Tingzhou are the joy of candles, the joy of adding a baby, the joy of adulthood, the joy of setting up a stove, the joy of moving, the joy of being on the list, the joy of birthday, and the joy of harvest. "Tingzhou Baxi Hall" condenses the essence of Tingzhou Hakka culture and is a microcosm of the life of Tingzhou Hakka people, which will add luster to Changting, a historical and cultural city. 4. Taian Bridge This is a historical protection bridge in Tingzhou and also a good position for shooting the ancient city wall of Tingzhou. 5. Tingzhou Ancient City Wall (Jichuan Gate) The current Jichuan Gate City Tower was rebuilt after consulting many ancient books and soliciting opinions from all parties. The three big characters "Jichuan Gate" on the front of the city gate tower were written by Huang Tingjian, a great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty. 6. Tingzhou Confucian Temple Tingzhou Confucian Temple, also known as Kong Temple and Tingzhou Prefecture School, was built in the third year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty and is an important place for the eight counties of Tingzhou to respect Confucianism. 7. Shop Street Shop Street is located in Changting County, Longyan City, Fujian Province. The Shop Street, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, is the most famous ancient street in Changting and the earliest commercial district in the ancient city of Tingzhou. "Shop head" in Hakka language refers to the best shops. 8. Sanyuan Pavilion Sanyuan Pavilion is located in the ancient city of Tingzhou. It was built in the Dali years of the Tang Dynasty. It was originally named Yinjiang Gate, later renamed Guangchu Gate. The city tower was built in the 12th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, and it was renamed "Sanyuan Pavilion" in the Qing Dynasty. 9. Wolong Academy Changting Wolong Academy was built in the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty and is the earliest academy recorded in the history of Tingzhou. After reconstruction, it attracted a large number of tourists to check in. About tickets: The ticket for the scenic spot is 88 yuan (including Jichuan Gate, Baxi Hall, Dafudi, Wolong Academy), and Quanzhou Jinjiang residents are exempted from the ticket with their ID card!
