The high-speed rail goes directly there. When you come to Jiangxi, you must not miss the 'Water City' Ganzhou, which is surrounded by water on three sides and located at the delta where the Gongjiang and Zhangjiang rivers converge. In the ancient city, people use a drainage system left by the Song people, comparable to ancient Rome, called Fushou Ditch, to ensure that the ancient city of Ganzhou remains flood-free for thousands of years. Outside the ancient city, people rely on bridges to connect with the outside. Ganzhou has built a pontoon bridge on each of the three sides, namely the Xihe Pontoon Bridge, the Donghe Pontoon Bridge, and the Nanhe Pontoon Bridge. The Xihe and Nanhe Pontoon Bridges were dismantled due to the construction of highway bridges, and now only the Donghe Pontoon Bridge (Jianchunmen Pontoon Bridge) remains. - The ancient Jianchunmen Pontoon Bridge was first built during the Song Dynasty's Qiandao period. This pontoon bridge is about 400 meters long, connected by 117 small wooden bridges tied with cables, with wooden planks laid across the boat surfaces as the bridge deck, connecting both sides of the Gongjiang River. Usually, it ensures the passage of pedestrians between the two sides of the Gongjiang River. In the past, Ganzhou's water transport was busy, with ships traveling from the Gongjiang River to the Ganjiang River in an endless stream, and the ancient pontoon bridge had to be dismantled once a day to allow passing ships to pass through, which is what we call 'dismantling the bridge after crossing the river.' - When you come to Ganzhou, you must walk on this ancient pontoon bridge. It has witnessed the prosperity of the ancient city of Ganzhou and is still a part of the lives of Ganzhou people today. Every day, many locals stroll here, especially in the midsummer, many people jump into the water and swim here, sitting for a long time in the evening waiting for the sunset, and early in the morning waiting for the sunrise. - Ancient Pontoon Bridge 🈺️ All day 🎫 Free

The construction of Jiangxi Hakka Cultural City is very unique. There is a square-shaped building with a dragon pattern inside, which is the Hakka ancestral hall. There are big red lanterns hanging high inside and the building is covered with wedding characters. The atmosphere is full of lights and decorations and it is full of joy. Later I learned that Hakka people can rent Hakka ancestral halls as wedding venues. It is really meaningful to hold a wedding in such a traditional venue. Moreover, I heard from the staff that if the bride price is low, the venue can be used for free, which is very helpful for young people to get married.

📍Ganzhou, Jiangxi Ganzhou is a city in Jiangxi province. It’s a small city and more like a village. I came here because my Chinese friend asked me to come with her to her hometown. It’s a new experience to me. Because I was the only foreigner there. All the people mostly were talking in dialect which I didn’t understand at all. Her family was so nice to me especially her mom. Always cooked delicious food for me. These are some tourist attractions that she took me to. Some temples, hills. A lot of hills there. One day we climbed a hill to see the view of the city. #givethanks #scenicspotguide #givethanks

Ganzhou Grand Skylight International Hotel comes with its own transportation perks, and a parking lot so large you could drift in it. A 5-minute drive will take you to the bluestone folds of the Ancient Floating Bridge, and in the opposite direction, the aroma of Mixc's milk tea will hit your car window. The guest rooms frame the Zhang River into a giant screen projection, and the warmth of the smart toilet soothes the bumps of city travel. Even the slippers feel as smooth as stepping on an ETC lane—after all, traffic jams are a thing of the past here. In the morning, opening the curtains unlocks two life modes: a 25-minute walk into the pot-stewed soup scene among the mottled arcade buildings, or a direct elevator descent to the B2 self-driving level, where the Song Dynasty city walls flash into view before the trunk has even warmed up. The hotel breakfast hides transportation codes, the mixed noodles with chili are as exhilarating as a motorcycle weaving through the alleys, the red velvet cake is as smooth as the ring road overpass, and the edge of the coffee cup still holds the watermarks of the Gan River. The top-floor gym puts the treadmill in the prime spot for river views, and every drop of sweat creates a trajectory like a shipping lane. When you return at night, the white fungus soup is anchored at the bedside, and the mist humidifier exhales the Zhang River tide. The handwritten note received upon check-out comes with navigation attributes—the ink meanders into a route home, and the navel oranges stuffed by the front desk have already express-delivered the flavor of Ganzhou into the luggage of strangers. Walking Guide: Plenty of charging piles in the parking lot! The Ancient Floating Bridge night cruise departs at 20:00 sharp, the guest room phone connects to taxis in seconds, and borrowing an umbrella from the front desk on a rainy day even comes with a "Walking Map of the Old City Alley Battles" (tested to save 8 minutes by taking shortcuts).

#discoverchina #songdynasty #hangzhou Stepping into the Song Dynasty Town in Hangzhou felt like entering a living painting from ancient China. The vibrant energy of the recreated streets, the detailed architecture, and the atmosphere steeped in history immediately transported me to a world over 800 years ago. One of the highlights of my trip was dressing in traditional Song Dynasty attire. The flowing robes, elegant patterns, and intricate accessories made me feel like a character straight out of a historical drama. Walking through the town in costume added an entirely new layer of immersion — locals and tourists alike were snapping photos, and for a moment, it felt like the past had truly come alive. Wandering through the ancient-style streets, I explored artisan shops, watched captivating performances, and even caught a glimpse of actors reenacting famous scenes from the era. The water town vibe, combined with classical music and street performers, gave me a deep sense of what daily life might have been like during the Song Dynasty. This wasn’t just a sightseeing trip — it was an emotional and cultural experience.

This is the only example of its kind in the country. The blue and white porcelain kiss beasts and carved wooden arches on the roof ridge show even more ingenuity. - The Mystery of the "Forbidden City Style" Door Nails: Each door of the Dacheng Gate has 9x9 or 81 nails (the same as the Forbidden City), far more than the Confucius Temple in Qufu. 📸 Great for Taking Pictures: With its red walls and flying tiles, the Confucian Temple is a great place to take photos. Standing in front of the Dacheng Gate, wearing ancient costumes, and using the quaint architecture as a backdrop, you'll be fully immersed in the atmosphere of the imperial court. Or have a friend stand on the other side of the arch and zoom in to capture the full artistic effect. The double dragon sculptures and large incense burner in the Dacheng Hall are also excellent photo spots, and side or upward shots look great. 🎈 Super Effective for Academic Success: Many students and parents come here to worship Confucius and the sages before the college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination, praying for good results and admission to their ideal schools.

Before coming to Ganzhou, I never imagined that this city held so many surprises. After arriving, I realized it's truly been severely underestimated! Ganzhou is never just a transit stop on a journey, but a treasure trove of a travel destination worth exploring in depth. In Ganzhou, what I found most unforgettable was the ancient floating bridge. It lies quietly across the water, one end connected to the ancient city wall, the other leading to the distant past. Standing on the bridge, it's as if you can travel through time and see the prosperity of the past. Especially at sunset, the afterglow sprinkles on the ancient floating bridge, creating a picture too beautiful to describe, every second like a magnificent oil painting. 📍 Location The ancient floating bridge is at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Ma Qi Alley, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Taking a taxi or driving is recommended, as transportation is convenient, allowing you to easily reach this beautiful scene that transcends a thousand years. 🚄 Transportation Guide From Shenzhen, it only takes 2 hours to reach Ganzhou by high-speed rail. After getting off the high-speed rail, a 15-minute taxi ride will bring you to a romantic encounter with the ancient floating bridge. 🎫 Ticket Information and Opening Hours Admission is free, and it's open year-round, from Monday to Sunday, all day long, waiting for you to experience a date that spans time. [Photo Guide] 1. This ancient floating bridge, first built in 1163 during the Song Dynasty, has withstood 800 years of trials and tribulations and still stands firmly on the water. It's made up of over 100 small boats tightly connected by cables. Its unique structure is extremely distinctive, and it still plays an important role today. Standing on the bridge, touching the traces left by time, every photo is filled with a sense of history. 2. Good news for drone enthusiasts! Aerial photography here is simply amazing! There are no obstructions, allowing you to freely express your creativity in composition. You can fly your drone directly from the city wall, but be mindful of flight safety, especially during holidays when there are more people. 3. The vibrant atmosphere here is as rich as vintage wine, intoxicating. Fishermen selling fish products can be seen everywhere on the bridge. Jiangxi, as a land of fish and rice, is rich in various aquatic products. These scenes are full of local characteristics, and every casual shot is a humanistic masterpiece full of life. 4. At sunset, this place transforms into a fairyland. The open view, unobstructed, the sky like an overturned palette. The day I went, I was lucky enough to encounter pink fire clouds, breathtakingly beautiful. You can also sit on the small boats connected to the floating bridge, enjoying the pleasant time while taking photos, but always pay attention to safety. 5. The beauty of Ganzhou is far more than just this ancient floating bridge. There are many ancient streets in Ganzhou city, full of delicious food, a paradise for my Hunanese taste buds. In addition, Longnan in Ganzhou is also a tourist attraction, with many unique Hakka buildings, very stunning. You can also check out my previous articles to learn more.

The salty and fragrant sauce makes every bite intoxicating, and the key is that the price is super affordable, only 6 yuan a bowl. - Auntie Chen’s Meatballs: Handmade Ningdu meatballs, chewy and soft, you can’t stop eating them. The bottom of the meatballs is covered with a special seasoning, which is fragrant and spicy. For those who cannot eat spicy food, please remember to ask for less spicy food in advance. - Xiao Hu Food Stall: Although the environment is simple, the taste is amazing! Many locals frequent this restaurant. The pork elbow and taro eggplant box are the signature dishes, highly recommended! ✖️ Thunder-proof Steamed Rice Noodle Roll: The taste is similar to ordinary rice noodle rolls, but the color is green.

If you come to Ganzhou, don't miss this red landmark hidden under Tianzhu Mountain - **Ganzhou Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall**. It is like a three-dimensional history book, every page of which is soaked with passion and faith. Here, I understand what it means "The mountains and rivers are safe only because there are people carrying the burden forward." **First encounter: solemnity among the verdant pines and cypresses** As you enter the memorial hall, you will be greeted by sculptures of martyrs hidden among green pines and cypresses. They either charged with guns or raised their arms and shouted, and in the frozen moment one seemed to be able to hear the shouts from a hundred years ago. When standing in front of the giant sculpture and bowing in silence, even the wind became quiet, leaving only the resonance of heartbeat and history. **Immersion: 500 names, 500 lives** In the exhibition hall, there are yellowed photos, rusty pocket watches, torn diaries... every relic is a fragment of life. I stopped in front of a wall of fame engraved with the names of 500 martyrs, touched the cold wall with my fingertips, and suddenly remembered a sentence: "Heroes are not born fearless, but choose to be brave." The faces of those who were only twenty years old when they died made my eyes red - it turns out that youth can be so hot. **Sense of Ritual: Everlasting Flame and Digital Space and Time** The Eternal Flame of the Martyrs on the Ceremonial Square never goes out, like an eye guarding the city. What surprised me the most was the **VR Digital Exhibition Hall**. Putting on the device, I instantly "traveled" to the battlefield where the Red Army was attacking the city. The sound of artillery fire exploded in my ears, and when I turned around, I saw the prosperous street scenes of modern Ganzhou. This dialogue between the past and the future is so shocking! **Tip: This is a more in-depth way** ❶ **Best time**: Choose the Qingming Festival or September 30, the Martyrs' Day. You will encounter a solemn ceremony of laying flower baskets, and you can even participate in volunteer activities and personally present a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to the martyrs' tombs. ❷ **Hidden gameplay**: The museum provides audio guides, remember to scan the code to listen to the stories - such as the soldier who died with an unsent letter home, the details are more touching than the movie. ❸ **Nearby linkage**: After visiting the memorial hall, you can walk to the ancient city wall of Ganzhou in 15 minutes. On one side are the memories of beacon fires, and on the other side are the fireworks of Songcheng, giving you a full sense of time and space interweaving! Someone asked: "Will the red tourist attractions be too heavy?" I want to say that there is no deliberate sensationalism here, only real warmth. When you see a child standing on tiptoe to tie a red scarf around a statue of a martyr, when an old man tremblingly touches the name of his comrade-in-arms... you will understand that some memories never fade, they just turn into a spring breeze, turning the land green year after year. **Navigation**: No. 11, Tianzhushan Road, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City **Opening hours**: 9:00-17:00 (closed on Mondays, don’t miss it~) [Purse] Tickets: Free! Remember to make an appointment in advance on the official account to unlock the online exhibition [Taxi] Ganzhou Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall is two kilometers away from Gannan Hotel Ganzhou Gannan Hotel (Zhanggong District Jiangnan Songcheng Historical and Cultural Tourism Zone Branch). It is recommended to drive there.

#2月好地方2025 "This pot of tea has a rainbow in it!" Miao girl Cha Sanniang opened the clay pot, and the morning mist condensed into a seven-color oil film in the tea soup. She taught me how to use a Li knife to carve "wild azalea tea". When the blade touched the tea stems, it actually made a reed pipe sound. "Listen carefully, when the mist is thick, stir it counterclockwise, otherwise the tea spirit will escape." We set up a bamboo tea table under the thousand-year-old Lujun pine. She suddenly scattered the tea dregs onto the cliff: "This is the toll for the mountain ghosts!" As soon as the words fell, a waterfall of clouds surged up from the bottom of the valley, and a dewdrop version of "Tea Picking Ballad" condensed on the edge of the tea saucer. Before leaving, she was given a tea seed sachet. She blinked her silver eyes and said, "Plant it under your pillow, and I can return to the Tea Horse Road in my dreams."
