Shicheng Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Shicheng Dashen Village, a hundred acres of lotus garden and the ancient Nanlu House

🧆 Dashen Township is located at the foot of Shicheng Tongtianzhai Mountain, where there is a hundred-acre lotus garden. Unfortunately, I came a bit late, and many lotus flowers have withered, forming lotus pods. Luckily, there are still many lotus flowers in full bloom, which makes the trip worthwhile. Shicheng is known as the 'Home of Chinese White Lotus,' and lotus ponds can be seen everywhere along the way. 🍭 As the sun sets in the west and the heat dissipates, standing amidst this vast field of lotus, surrounded by the fragrance of lotus leaves and a refreshing breeze, one feels invigorated and refreshed. Behind the lotus fields, there are several white buildings nestled among the green trees, with the majestic Tongtianzhai as the backdrop, especially the 'Pillar of the Earth' piercing the sky, creating a magnificent landscape of mountains and fields. 🍭 Strolling through the lotus garden, at the crossroads, there is a Xian family ancestral temple, and next to it are some ancient dwellings, unfortunately abandoned and not maintained, leaving only ruins. Further inside, I saw an ancient dwelling named Nanlu House, which is well-preserved. 🍭 Nanlu, also known as Huang's House, was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1783) and has a history of over two hundred years. It covers an area of 20 acres and has a building area of more than 6,000 square meters, with a closed brick-wood structure. There is a tall wall built outside the house, with a courtyard gate next to it. Entering the courtyard through the gate, it is very spacious, with a half-moon-shaped pond in front of the house. The orientation of the five-section house seems quite special, as if all are facing the courtyard with their gable walls, all with tall horse-head walls. The entire building is backed by Tongtianzhai, with a pond in front, boasting excellent Feng Shui. 🍭 Behind Nanlu, there is also an ancient She stage, uniquely shaped, somewhat resembling a round tulou. This is an important venue for displaying Hakka folk activities, often featuring lantern performances. Shicheng's lantern festival is a national-level intangible cultural heritage, which has been formed since the establishment of the city and has a history of over a thousand years. 📍 Address: Dashen Village, Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 👍 Recommended: Hundred-acre lotus fields, looking up at Tongtianzhai, the Pillar of the Earth, Nanlu House, hot springs ✔️ Cost: The scenic spot is open to the public free of charge

Baofu Temple Pagoda, a fusion of Tang and Song dynasties' charm, gathers treasures and blessings

🧸 Shicheng is a small county under Ganzhou, located at the throat of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, historically known as the thoroughfare between Fujian and Guangdong. The Qinjiang River runs through the town, and a covered bridge connects the two banks. On the west bank of the bridge is the famous Osmanthus House, where the young king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was once imprisoned. On the east bank stands a majestic pagoda, the Baofu Temple Pagoda, listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. ✔️ Upon arriving in Shicheng, one can immediately see the pagoda, standing prominently on the beautiful banks of the Qinjiang River. The next day, I drove to the pagoda and walked directly into the Baofu Temple behind it. Many believers gathered in the main hall, saying that the pagoda and the temple are separate. So I walked around to the back of the temple's main hall, and only then did I notice that the pagoda was enclosed by iron railings, with only one entrance and exit facing the Qinjiang River. A notice board hung at the entrance, indicating that there is a fee to visit the pagoda, 15 yuan, which is not expensive, but I saw no staff. ✔️ I thought that since it's already clear from the outside, if climbing the pagoda is not allowed, there's no point in going inside, so I decided to just take a look from the outside. Fortunately, there was an explanatory sign at the entrance, which gave us a deeper understanding of the pagoda. ✔️ It turns out that this is a pavilion-style Buddhist pagoda, built in the first year of Chongning of the Northern Song Dynasty (1102) and completed in the fourth year of Daguan (1110), funded by the high monk Daofu, Yingke, and the monks of Heyuan. Baofu Temple is actually Baofu Temple Pagoda, which is a temple pagoda, but now it is separated, and it feels like it would be more meaningful if it were together with the temple. ✔️ The pagoda has seven levels and six sides, embodying the idea that 'saving one life is more meritorious than building a seven-level pagoda.' The entire structure resembles a seven-section steel whip, not only retaining the legacy of the Tang Dynasty but also featuring the typical style of the Song Dynasty, which looks even more magnificent from a distance. ✔️ The name 'Baofu' has two meanings: one is wealth and blessings, and the other is homophonous with 'protection.' Ancient people paid attention to Feng Shui when building pagodas, and Buddhist pagodas were no exception. After the construction of this Buddhist pagoda, Shicheng enjoyed favorable weather, abundant harvests, and people believed it was the protection of the pagoda. ✔️ Walking along the covered bridge to the opposite bank of the Qinjiang River, standing on the bank and admiring the pagoda from a distance, with green mountains behind and clear water in front, plus the blue sky and white clouds, the beautiful reflection of the pagoda in the river is indeed a sight to behold. 📍 Address: Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 💰 Cost: Ticket price 15 yuan

The most striking thing in the flower park is the 99-seat double-decker carousel, which is by far the largest double-layer carousel in the world. Every boy or girl has a dreamlike wooden horse dream, and I came here with that unrealistic dream. The colorful 99-seat double-layer carousel seems to have fallen into a dreamlike world, sitting on a carousel, swimming in the sky, flying fast. There is a lot of fun in the scenic area, enough for you to play in the day, there are convenience stores, tourists are very convenient. The 99-seat double-decker carousel is even more beautiful at night (but the opening hours are mainly in the scenic area).
