Things to do in Yudu

Going west from Jinggang Mountain is the Memorial Square where Ren Bishi, Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen led the Red Sixth Army on the Long March. Although it is small and not well-known, it is considered the earliest starting point of the Long March of the Red Army.

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!

This village is not well-known, nor is it a tourist attraction. I just looked it up online and went to see it with the locals. It is the location of the first bridge of the Long March. The natural scenery is good and very quiet.

This is a high-end memorial hall, which uses a large number of real photos to reproduce the historical scenes of the Red Army's Long March.

I came here because of its reputation, and visited Chaozhou Ancient City, Guangji Bridge, Guangji Tower, and Kaiyuan Temple to learn about Chaoshan culture and taste local delicacies. In March, the spring sunshine was just right, the weather was pleasant, and I felt very comfortable.

After visiting the Thai Buddhist Hall at Kaiyuan Temple, a taxi ride cost just over three yuan took me directly to Han Yu's Ancestral Hall. Walking there would have been 1.8km, which would have been quite tiring. Taxis are relatively cheap in Chaozhou. This place mainly introduces the life of Han Yu from the Tang Dynasty, his contributions during his exile to Chaozhou, and praises his patriotism and dedication to the people. It's worth taking a short stroll, as the reservation ticket is free, essentially like visiting a small park. The ticket entrance for Guangji Bridge is just over 100 meters away. After visiting Guangji Bridge, you can go directly there to experience the culture and charm of a pontoon bridge before returning to the ancient city, avoiding backtracking.

An ancient city is a carrier of a place's history, culture, and customs. Zhangzhou Ancient City, bearing witness to the city's millennia-long history and culture, is a "living fossil" of Zhangzhou's ancient culture and a "living archive" witnessing the city's historical and cultural changes. An ancient city is a repository of memories, emotions, and nostalgia. In the ancient city, you can find the taste of your childhood, hear the everyday chatter of your neighbors, and feel the warmth of home. Here, you can see the historical accumulation of Zhangzhou, feel its cultural heritage, and find your spiritual home. An ancient city is an engine for a place's cultural tourism and economy. In the ancient city, you can taste authentic Minnan snacks, buy handicrafts and intangible cultural heritage products, and enjoy traditional operas and folk performances. Here, you can experience the city's cultural charm, enjoy its cultural benefits, and reap its cultural rewards. Zhangzhou Ancient City is one of Fujian Province's famous historical and cultural cities and an important part of Minnan culture. Founded during the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, it has evolved over a thousand years and still retains many precious historical and cultural relics. The ancient city of Zhangzhou is characterized by a network of nine main streets and eighteen lanes, forming a complete and open spatial layout. The nine main streets are: Beijing Road, Xinhua Road, Zhongshan Road, Taiwan Road, Hong Kong Road, Macau Road, Shengli Road, Dananmen Road, and Buzheng Road; the eighteen lanes are: Shuqian Lane, Yuanwen Lane, Yuanwu Lane, Yuanheng Lane, Yuanli Lane, Yuanzhen Lane, Yuanchun Lane, Yuanzheng Lane, Yuancheng Lane, Yuanxiang Lane, Yuanrui Lane, Yuantai Lane, Yuanhua Lane, Yuanqing Lane, Yuanzhi Lane, Yuanren Lane, Yuansheng Lane, and Fuqian Heng Lane.

How can you cross the river safely and securely at any time? The people in the Song Dynasty were very clever. They used more than a hundred small boats tied together with ropes and put wooden boards on them, so that people could reach the other side safely. The scenic spot did not specify whether the wooden bridge could be opened to allow boats to pass. This is different from the Guangji Bridge in Chaoshantou. This is a landmark building here and is worth a visit.

Wolong Academy, founded during the Shaoding era of the Southern Song Dynasty, is located at the southern foot of Wolong Mountain. It is the oldest academy in the eight counties of Tingzhou and the highest institution of learning in western Fujian. Song Dynasty Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi and Ming Dynasty scholar Wang Yangming both lectured and taught here, nurturing the cultural heritage of Tingzhou. Over 300 scholars from the area have passed the imperial examinations here throughout history. The academy is conveniently located on the west side of Xinmin Street in the ancient city of Changting, a 5-minute walk from Sanyuan Pavilion. The grounds feature pavilions and towers, as well as introductions to the academy and Neo-Confucianism, offering both fun and educational opportunities, making it ideal for family visits. Walking out of the academy towards the river leads to Jichuan Gate, the most bustling area of ​​the ancient city of Tingzhou.

as seen in the name, lots of arches, with different meanings like celebrations of previous best candidates in national examinations in previous dynasties. lots of street foods and diners and restaurants with a wide variety of choices, a healthy long walk as there are other attractions nearby
