⛩️ Changting Ancient Town The most comprehensive two-day and one-night travel guide||| Changting County, formerly known as "Tingzhou", is part of Fujian Province and was the location of the Central Soviet Area's Tingzhou City and the place where the red flag crossed the Ting River. It is located in the western part of Fujian Province, at the southern foot of the Wuyi Mountains, bordering Guangdong to the south and Jiangxi to the west, with a land area of 3,104.16 square kilometers; historically, it has been a strategic frontier at the border of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces, known as the "Great West Gate of Fujian Province". The county town of Changting is composed of Tingzhou Town and Datong Town, and the entire county town is the place where we have lived since childhood, without a distinction between the ancient and the new city. The city gates are open and do not require a ticket, only a few attractions require a ticket. Changting city is very small, and it takes just over twenty minutes to drive around. 🚄🚙How to get there 🔴Take a high-speed train to "Changting South Station", and after exiting the station, you can take a taxi or take the 3 or 5 bus from the parking lot to the city area, which takes about 15 minutes to reach the county town. (Changting does not have taxis, generally, it's Didi) 🔴If driving, just drive directly to the city area, find a place to park, and the attractions are within walking distance. 🔴There are a lot of shared electric bikes in the city area, besides taking a taxi, you can also choose an electric bike. 🏢Accommodation recommendations It is suggested to stay in a better hotel, as room prices soar during holidays and are in short supply, so it is necessary to book in advance. If you have time on the weekend, it is still recommended to take a two-day weekend trip, as even the locals find the holiday prices exaggerated. If you stay in a city area hotel, a taxi will generally cost less than 10 yuan. ⛩️Must-visit attractions ✅Jichuan Gate (Ancient City Wall) ✅Dafu Residence ✅Baxi Pavilion ✅Wolong Academy ✅Diantou Street ✅Sanyuan Pavilion ✅Changting County Museum (Tingzhou Examination Hall) ✅Tingzhou Confucian Temple ✅Wushi Alley (Yunxiang Pavilion) ✅Chaotian Gate ✅Dingwu Ridge 🎫Attraction tickets 🟡A combined ticket for the four major scenic areas is 88 yuan per person.
