How to Spend 24 Hours in Jian'ou

Route: Dongyue Temple - Guangxiao Temple - Tongji Gate - Beixin Street Snacks - Drum Tower - Tie Jing Lan - Confucian Temple (Site of Jianzhou Academy) - Tongxian Gate (Hongfa Hall + Taibao Building) - Dinner on Beixin Street (Food Stalls) - Night View of Tie Jing Lan Tips: 1. Tongji Gate looks like a rebuilt city tower. You can go upstairs, but there is nothing to see. The downstairs area is not open, so it is not recommended. 2. The Confucian Temple was closed the last time I came, and it was closed this time as well. According to the security guard, it has never been open, so it is not recommended. 3. Some courtyards in Tie Jing Lan are closed during the day, and the night view is different from what you see during the day, so it is worth visiting twice. 4. Beixin Street basically covers all the snacks in Jian'ou, and several of them are old shops, so the taste will be better. 5. There are two food stalls in Beixin Street, and Feifei's business is better and the taste is also good. 6. The stream view in front of Guangxiao Temple is still beautiful, don't miss it. Transportation: There are many bus lines in Jian'ou, but it is difficult to wait for them. Try to book a car through the app as much as possible. The drivers you hail on the road may not be reliable. They will ask you if you want to pay a fixed amount or go by the meter when you get in the car. If you say go by the meter, the final price may be more expensive than the price on the app or the price they said at the beginning. That being said, taxis in Jian'ou are still cheap, and the price is basically within CNY 10 in the city.
