    While visiting Yuchang Building, I quite enjoyed the winding village paths that allowed me to fully appreciate the scenery of Zhangzhou villages. I especially noticed the many withered banana trees; I imagine it must look quite different when the bananas are ripe. There were many vendors selling oranges and tangerines along the way, but avoid the wrinkled ones – they won't taste good. For the same price, buy the common Wogan tangerines; they're sweeter here than anywhere else! Yuchang Building is a rather unique earthen building because each floor is different. The supporting pillars of its corridors are all crooked, in a regular pattern. If odd-numbered floors all lean to the right, then even-numbered floors all lean to the left, hence the name "East-Leaning, West-Sloping Building." It can be a bit dizzying to look at, but the structure is actually quite stable. I also felt that the ancestral temple in the square of Yuchang Building was the most simple, without any major renovations, just its original, naturally weathered appearance. Of course, I noticed that I wasn't the only visitor; it seemed like everyone was experiencing aesthetic fatigue: fewer people were taking photos, the visit was rushed, and there was a greater desire to leave. ...When I recalled this, I noticed a photo with a sign saying "Free to Visit the Well." I must have remembered wrong; the kid spitting wasn't at Huaiyuan Tower, but at this Yuchang Tower...

    Staying in a traditional earthen building with modern facilities, it's comfortable, pleasant, and elegant. The butler provides attentive one-on-one service, always ready to assist. It's a rural tourism experience that meets modern five-star service standards. I would definitely recommend it to friends!

    It's a fully commercialized ancient town nestled in the mountains and waters. There are many ancient banyan trees, and the earthen buildings are just so-so. If you haven't seen them before, it's worth a visit; they're wooden structures. If you want to go upstairs, the local residents will charge you 5 yuan per person.

    My day trip to Chaozhou included visits to the Xu Fuma Mansion, the residence of Xu Jue, the husband of Princess De'an, sister of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The mansion's architectural style resembles a four-horse carriage, with bamboo-woven gray walls, stone flooring, and an S-shaped water system being its three treasures. It is the only known mansion of its kind in the private sector. We also visited the Guangji Bridge (a 4A scenic area), a vital transportation hub between Guangdong and Fujian, combining beam, pontoon, and arch bridges, and is considered on par with the Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge. We visited the Han Yu Ancestral Hall, learning about Han Yu's eight months of service in Chaozhou, with an inscription written by Su Shi. Next, we went to the Beige Buddhist Lamp, seeing the brightly lit lamp over the Han River. The Beige Buddhist Lamp is one of the eight scenic spots of Chaozhou. From the Beige Pavilion, we could see the Crocodile Crossing in the Autumn Wind, the Han Yu Ancestral Hall across the river, the Xiang Bridge in the Spring Tide downstream, the Phoenix Rain, and the Longqiu Pagoda.

    Good scenetic view, but when you use ticket and walk accross the bridge, please dont go out the gate entrance cause the ticket only one way round. But if you go out a entrance that opposite that you walk pass ,you need to contact staff to ask for walking back. They are good people to listen by chinese language.

    Stepping onto Nan'ao Island is like stepping into a unfolding painting, with verdant mountains on one side and breathtakingly beautiful azure seas and silvery sands shimmering on the other. In recent years, Nan'ao County has restored the island's natural beauty through the restoration and management of its coastline, and the unique "blue" of Nan'ao has captivated and mesmerized countless people.

    波西米亚狂想你波西米亚狂想你

    Strolling through Ganzhou's Song Dynasty City, bluestone pavements lit by red lanterns, the brickwork of the ancient city walls holding thousands of years of history, truly embodied the allure of the saying, "Ganzhou itself, half a step into the history of the Song Dynasty." The most captivating moment was a guzheng performance. As the lights came on, the sound of music drifted through the crowd. The players, dressed in Song Dynasty attire, blended their fingertips with the silhouettes of ancient memorial archways, creating a sense of transport back to the bustling streets of the Song Dynasty. Pausing to listen, the surrounding hustle and bustle faded into the background, leaving only the guzheng's melodies echoing off the eaves. Combined with the nearby calligraphy exhibitions and intangible cultural heritage stalls, the atmosphere was filled with the charm of the Song Dynasty, a moment that became the most unforgettable memory of the entire trip.

    It's worth going during the day. We decided to go on a whim, arriving at 5 PM but not quite reaching our destination until 6 PM. The staff asked if we wanted to continue, and we did. However, many rides had already closed. Only a few theaters and the roller coaster were truly enjoyable. Because it was Halloween night, there were many scary elements, and the sounds were quite frightening. We were too scared to go into the haunted house and didn't get to experience much of the rides, but we were definitely frightened by the music. The roller coaster was very safe and stable. Recommended.

    The ancient city of Zhangzhou is a city with a "river as the city and a bridge as the gate" and a street layout of "nine streets and thirteen alleys". Ancient sites such as the Temple of Confucius, the Temple of Martial Arts, and the Shangshu Tanhua Square carry a thousand-year cultural heritage, and every brick and tile tells a historical story.
