A 22°C Stroll Through Shanghang Confucian Temple: Exploring Ancient Charm and Hakka Culture🏮 The Shanghang Confucian Temple, a historical gem hidden in western Fujian, was first built in 1223 during the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in 1548 during the Ming Dynasty. With nearly 800 years of history, it silently tells the story of time's passage. It is not only one of Fujian's best-preserved and most distinctive Confucian temples but also a spiritual sanctuary embodying Shanghang's rich cultural heritage. The area enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate with warm, humid weather, long but not scorching summers, and short, mild winters. With an average annual temperature of 22°C, visitors can enjoy a pleasant experience year-round. 1. Preparation Before departure, it's recommended to research the temple's historical background online and follow local tourism social media accounts to learn about recent cultural activities. As the temple complex is quite large, comfortable flat shoes👟 are recommended for extended walking. 2. Visiting Route The Shanghang Confucian Temple is located on the east section of Liberation Road in Linjiang Town, Shanghang County. Upon arrival, visitors first encounter the "Dismounting Tablet," inscribed with "By imperial decree, all civil and military officials and civilians must dismount here," showing reverence for Confucius. Entering through the sacred gate, the front courtyard features the Pan Pool and Lingxing Gate, demonstrating temple etiquette. Moving forward, you'll reach the main area centered around the Dacheng Hall. The hall features upturned eaves, dragon and phoenix carvings, lifelike qilin paintings on the ceiling, and floral, bird, dragon, and phoenix patterns on the walls, showcasing exceptional architectural craftsmanship. Inside, a 2.4-meter bronze statue of Confucius stands solemnly under the plaque "Teacher of All Ages." On the east side of the hall, blue bricks from the temple's original construction display blooming flowers and auspicious birds, telling stories of the past. Stone inscriptions from the Song and Ming dynasties in front of and inside the Dacheng Hall carry the aspirations of ancient scholars. 3. Nearby Attractions Wazi Street After visiting the temple, explore the adjacent Wazi Street. This Ming-Qing style ancient street, with its stone pavements and arcade buildings, exudes historical charm. Besides numerous Hakka restaurants and handicraft shops, cultural relics like Liufang Hall, Taizhong Temple, and Shiyu Memorial Tablet bear witness to the passage of time. Linjiang Tower A short walk from Wazi Street leads to Linjiang Tower. Mao Zedong once wrote "Cai Sang Zi - Double Ninth Festival" here. Today, the tower houses a memorial hall, and visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Tingjiang River from the top. 4. Shanghang Delicacies Niudou Soup Don't miss this Shanghang specialty. This starch-thickened beef soup has a clear, rich broth with herbal fragrance. The slow-cooked beef is tender and melts in your mouth. Add ginger, cilantro, and garlic-vinegar chili sauce to taste. Pork Offal Rice Noodles Fresh pork offal paired with smooth rice noodles in rich hot broth instantly relieves travel fatigue and provides warm comfort for your taste buds. 5. Important Notes 4. Stay Quiet: As a place of worship and cultural heritage, please maintain silence and avoid disturbing others. 5. Respectful Visiting: Do not touch artifacts or ancient buildings, avoid graffiti, and help preserve the temple's historical appearance. 6.

💟Preface I was really on vacation. I came here for only one purpose - Yongfu Taipin Sakura Tea Garden. The rest of the time I was here to experience the local people's pace of life and food. So if you want to see a special travel guide, you may not need to read the life content, just go directly to the Sakura Tea Garden section. 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Longyan/Zhangping 🏠Accommodation: Morning Mu Ning Fashion B&B (Dayang Wenyuan) Some units in the building are still under renovation, so it is a relatively new B&B with self check-in. Most of the people living here are locals, and from the evening until after 10 o'clock in the evening, you can see nearby residents walking their dogs downstairs while digesting their food. The community has security guards and registration is required for entry and exit, so the safety factor is very high. I must say, the cleaning here is super! Dry! net! As a person with mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, I don’t have any problem at all. I just wipe the table with my fingers and there is not even a trace of gray left! And there is no peculiar smell in the room, which is really satisfactory. The only thing to note is that there are mountains nearby, so it's normal to have a lot of mosquitoes, but there are electric mosquito repellent in the room ❤️When I came here, it was early March and the temperature was still a bit cold, so I didn't turn on the air conditioner. I pulled the mosquito net on the window and kept the window open, which would be much better. 💆🏻♀️Massage recommendation: Xiangyue Head Therapy (Wanbao Branch) 💰Average consumption per person: ¥114～¥128 / 60 minutes Every time I come to the mainland, I must experience a massage. This time I chose a head massage. I recommend the super decompression treatment. I slept very well that night after it! ! ! Later, a week after I went home (I washed my hair three times), I could still smell the faint scent of Chinese medicine. It really became addictive. The boss said they also have a branch in Guangzhou, and friends who are interested can go and experience it. 🍜Special food: 1. Wanbao Plaza 💰Average consumption per person: ¥13～¥16 There will be a night market in the evening, and the whole street will be full of snacks. I bought the pancakes from a deaf-mute brother and sister’s shop, and the portion was super big! This one must be quite famous. While I was standing there waiting, I noticed that there were more than one pancake shop nearby, but most of the locals came to buy it. Since the boss and his sister are deaf-mute, you need to point at the menu to communicate with them when placing an order, which is no problem at all👍🏻 2. Quanbing Third Generation Clear Soup Noodles 💰Average consumption per person: ¥17～¥25 There are many branches, the price-performance ratio is very high, and the portions are very large. Clear soup noodles are a common food among the locals here. For someone like me who is allergic to seafood, many of the Fujian-style Minnan dishes are actually not acceptable to me. For someone like me who prefers light taste, clear soup noodles are a good choice. All side dishes can be freely matched 🥰 3. Chatting Tea🧋 💰Average consumption per person: $17 ~ ¥22 I forgot whether it is limited to Longyan or Fujian, I heard that there is no such store in other places. The main feature is that everything can be crushed into crushed ice 😆 which is quite delicious. I drank it twice in the three days here haha ​​😂 You know, I usually don’t like smoothie-like desserts, but this one really broke my inherent impression of smoothies. If you don’t know what to order, just order the signature Shui Yu Zhen milk tea with crushed ice. If you don’t like sweet things, you can ask for no sugar when placing the order like I did. 📍Attractions: Yongfu Taipin Sakura Tea Garden 🚕Transportation: Carpool (yes, I’m a person who has no sense of direction and would never take the bus if I can take a taxi) 💰Average consumption: ~¥70 💡Notes: 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! (Important things should be said three times💢) 🗓️Route: Enter through Entrance 1 - Follow the recommended route at the entrance - Exit through Exit 2 ***The scenery along this route will be better. ✅If you are not in a hurry, just buy the ticket. 💟If you don’t want to waste time and want to see the highlights of the tea garden as soon as possible, you only need to buy a ticket + a small train. It only takes about ten minutes to take a round trip. (I don’t recommend buying the big train regardless of whether you are in a hurry or not) ✅There are a few snack stalls in the park. If you don’t want to bring food with you, you can buy food after entering / eat more for breakfast, and go to Yongfu Town for dinner after the tour / bring a little dry food. 📌Notes The cherry blossom tea garden is actually not very big, and there are not many cherry blossoms. There are just a few cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the aisle, so don't have too high expectations. It takes about two hours to tour the entire garden, and if you go slower it may take about three hours. Friends who are more prone to mosquitoes should remember to prepare mosquito stickers and mosquito repellent spray before traveling. #SakuraSeason #XiamenFood #XiamenLongyan #Longyan #YongfuTaipinSakuraTeaGarden #leisurelife #solotravel #solotravel #localexperience

The mountains and fields were covered in cherry blossoms, pink like clouds and white like snow.
