Quzhou has more than the Confucius Temple, remember to check in at the two ancient city walls

【Quzhou Ancient City Wall】The location of the chosen hotel is excellent, you can walk to the Confucius Temple and Shuiting Gate. This time I saw two city wall gates in Quzhou, one is the Lixian Gate of the South Gate site, and the other is the Chaojing Gate in the Shuiting Gate scenic area. The former (Figures 1-3) feels that the gate is small and more dilapidated, and it is actually the gate that residents have to pass through in their daily lives, facing the pedestrian street; The latter (Figures 4-14) is the city wall of the scenic area that has been rebuilt, repaired and protected. I went there both at night and during the day. The water gate is more suitable for a walk at night. My mother's eyesight is not good, but she is very meticulous. She ran to the root of the city wall at night and found that several bricks under the city wall were engraved with words. During the day, I happened to meet a young lady who pretended to play the guzheng for the promotional video here. Finally, it is a group photo of my father and the sculpture of Kong Ruiyou, the founder of the Southern School of the 48th generation of the Confucius family. This group of statues is very good. Don't forget to see the allusions when you go to Quzhou to see the city wall.
