The capital of Hakka, no less impressive than the ancient city of Phoenix

Changting Ancient City, which began in the Tang and Song dynasties, once served as the administrative center of Tingzhou. Walking on the old streets paved with bluestone slabs, the simple houses on both sides are staggered, as if traveling through a time tunnel, each brick and tile tells a long story. The old city wall stands tall, and the Guangji Gate is like a seal of the ancient city, recording the past years of war and peace. The mansion of the doctor attracts tourists with its exquisite wood carving craftsmanship and typical Ming and Qing architectural styles, showing the elegant life scene of ancient scholars. The Baxi Pavilion vividly reproduces the folk customs of Hakka, immersing people in a strong local cultural atmosphere. The Temple of Heaven, where incense is flourishing, Mazu culture is inherited here, entrusting people's beautiful wishes for peace and life at sea. The Wolong Academy is undoubtedly the finishing touch of this trip. It is located at the southern foot of Wolong Mountain and dates back to the Baoyou period of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is one of the oldest academies in the ancient city of Tingzhou. The academy building complex is quiet and solemn, and the Huizhou-style building 'Longxuetang' is particularly eye-catching. This is a treasure generously donated by international movie star Jackie Chan, which together with the lecture hall and the scripture library constitutes a world full of book fragrance and ink charm.
