A Glimpse of Chong'an

This cultural anchor, which originated in the Liangxi city center during the Xingning period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has remained in the same location for 1,600 years. Here, you'll find the Chong'an Temple Library clock tower, built in 1929, and Erquan Square, where Abing once performed. [Must-Visit Spots] ◆ Imperial Pavilion Stele Inscription: An inscription written by Emperor Qianlong during his six trips to the south, nestled between a bubble tea shop and a gold counter. ◆ Jade Emperor Hall Caisson: A gem of Ming Dynasty Taoist architecture, look up to see the Big Dipper bracket set. [Gastronomic Insights] ◆ Imperial Pavilion Food City: Yulan cakes burst with juice on Qing Dynasty copper stoves, and plum blossom cakes bloom under neon lights. ◆ Gongbei Building Century-Old Noodle Stall: Toppings that transport you back to the secret sauce recipes of the Tongzhi era. This temple without walls has long transformed incense into the worldly fireworks of everyday life. When drone swarms fly over the Ming Dynasty pagoda, the projected light and shadow scriptures merge with the LED advertisements of Suning Plaza in the night sky, instantly revealing the meaning of "Pure Land on Earth." (Note: The core historical sites are concentrated in the Public Garden, which is open all day and free of charge; it is recommended to come in the evening to experience the magical moment of day and night transition.)
