The Moments are blowing up! It's really in Fujian, in Changting, Longyan
Following the trend on Little Ctrip has been the most successful ever😍😍, and it turns out to be in Changting🤩🤩! International friend Louis Aly once said: 'There are two of the most beautiful towns in China, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian.' Changting today is truly breathtaking😍, and definitely worth a visit!!
⚠️However, be aware❗❗ Do not come to Changting during public holidays😭😭. Take my advice😣! During the holidays, Changting is not only crowded👨👩👧👦, but accommodation prices are outrageously high!! What usually costs 100 yuan could go up to 500-700 yuan😱.
Changting is small, and a two-day weekend trip is enough👒. Let me, a native of Changting, tell you how to play and eat here~🎉🎊. I've got all the strategies for food🥘, transportation🚌, accommodation🛏, and attractions✨!
- 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed train to , and from there you can take a taxi🚕 or a bus to the city center, which takes about 10-15 minutes. If you're driving🚗, just head to the city center, find a place to park, and then you can walk around. The city center is small, taxis are hard to get during holidays, but there are many shared electric scooters🛵, which are very practical, and I recommend cycling.
- 🏠Accommodation: The county town is not big, and it's convenient to stay anywhere. As long as you are in the main urban area, a taxi ride to anywhere will basically cost you 10 yuan🤑. However, many homestays can't be reached directly by car, so I personally recommend staying in a hotel🏬.
- 🏞Attractions: Here are a few must-visit spots. ✅Jichuan Gate: Climb the city gate and take in the night view of Tingzhou🎇. ✅Dafudi: The number one carved building in Fujian, truly lives up to its reputation👍. ✅Tingzhou Baxi Hall: Showcases the eight great joys of Hakka life🎊. ✅Wolong Academy: Features Huizhou-style architecture donated by Jackie Chan, better to visit during the day🌞. ✅Diantou Street: A charming ancient street with lots of snacks and specialties🛍. ✅Sanyuan Pavilion-Museum-Tingzhou Examination Hall-Confucian Temple: All on one line, you can stroll along and check in📸. ✅Dingwuling: A Hakka mountain fortress, a village without mosquitoes for a thousand years🦟. ✅Qu'aoli Wharf: The Tingzhou wharf, with a southern charm.
- 🎫Tickets: Except for Dingwuling and Qu'aoli Wharf, other attractions do not require tickets. A combo ticket for four attractions is 88 yuan per person.
- 🍱Food: Hakka cuisine is endlessly delicious😋! Here are a few of my favorite Hakka restaurants and snack shops. ✅Xunwei Tingzhou, ✅Shengquan Snacks, ✅Chengqiang Fried Potato Cakes, ✅Xuancheng Boji Board, ✅Laoke Wei, ✅Baxi Courtyard, ✅Qixing Restaurant, ✅Axiu Clear Soup Noodles, ✅Old Store Dry Steamed Meat, ✅Qinhui Nan Food Restaurant...
- 🛣Itinerary: ✔Day 1: Arrive in Changting at noon→Have lunch on Shuidong Street→Visit attractions inside Taiping Bridge and Dongda Street in the afternoon→Jichuan Gate→Diantou Street→Sanyuan Pavilion→Wolong Academy→Diantou Street for dinner→Stroll again at night to enjoy the night view🌃. ✔Day 2: Take a taxi to Dingwuling or Qu'aoli Wharf, return to the county town for lunch, and buy some Changting specialties like dried tofu in the afternoon🎁.
