[2025 Ganzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiangjingguo Xiansheng Jiuju (Updated Jul)

Spring 2025, Qingming Festival holiday. After morning ancestral worship, we set off for Ganzhou, Jiangxi. The journey was about 430 kilometers. The road was smooth until we entered Jiangxi, where there were noticeably more trucks. The most annoying part was trucks overtaking each other, which drastically reduced speed, seriously affected driving safety, and caused traffic congestion. We arrived in Ganzhou at 2 PM and had beef rice noodles and meat pie soup before returning to our accommodation. We booked a suite this time, a three-bedroom apartment that was perfect for our family trip. First, let's have some kung fu tea! After a short rest, we headed to Ganzhou Central Park. The park is quite large with a lake in the center, divided by a bridge. People were relaxing and camping everywhere on the lawn. It was flower season and very pleasant! The Ganzhou Museum is also next to the park. In the evening, we went to Xiao Caishen Restaurant for dinner. It was crowded with decent ambiance, but not highly recommended as the food was average. After dinner, we walked back, passing through Mixc Mall for a brief visit, then returned to our accommodation, ending our first day. The next morning, we had breakfast at Zhou Ji Restaurant. It was very crowded but offered authentic old Ganzhou flavors - highly recommended. After breakfast, we went to Yu Gu Tower, a place rich in cultural and historical heritage. The first thing we saw was the statue of Xin Qiji. Walking up to Yu Gu Tower, we saw the poem "Writing on the Wall of Jiangxi Zaokou" by Xin Qiji, inscribed by Chairman Jiang Zemin: "Below Yu Gu Tower flows the clear river, how many travelers' tears have fallen in between?" The author's concern for the country and people was palpable! After visiting Yu Gu Tower, we walked along the old city wall. Chiang Ching-kuo's former residence is right beside the wall. Walking towards Ba Jing Tower, which is located at the confluence of three rivers. Further along the wall is Yong Jin Gate, though the tower is not open to the public and awaits renovation. Since we had such a big breakfast, we didn't have lunch until 2 PM at a nearby small restaurant, which was quite good! After lunch, we walked along the Gong River to the ancient Song Dynasty floating bridge site, which was made up of hundreds of connected boats. There were fishing boats moored by the bridge selling goods, with dried fish being the most eye-catching, and the bridge was crowded with people. In the evening, we walked to Song Chao Bu Ye Cheng, a commercially developed area full of people taking photos in ancient costumes. We exited through the Military Gate Tower and went for dinner, concluding our second day. On the third day, we had breakfast at A Wu Diao Restaurant, another authentic old Ganzhou establishment. Afterward, we visited Wei Family Mansion, Fushou Gou Museum, and Confucian Temple. The Confucian Temple dates back to the Tang Dynasty, though the current structure was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty - worth a visit. There's a Song Dynasty Ci Yun Temple inside the nearby elementary school, but unfortunately it's not open to the public - what a pity! Then we visited Zao'er Lane and the Standard Clock. After lunch, we went to Jiangnan Song Cake to buy some pastries before heading home, arriving at 9 PM, successfully concluding our Ganzhou trip. This Ganzhou trip was a great experience with reasonable accommodation and food prices! Especially recommended for those who like taking photos in ancient costumes.

🪭Ganzhou, the largest city in Jiangxi. The ancient city of Ganzhou was first built in the Jin Dynasty and flourished during the Song Dynasty. It still preserves a large number of Song Dynasty cultural relics and cultural sites with extremely high cultural and artistic value. It is known as the "Jiangnan Song City" and the "Song City Museum". 👍The ancient city wall of Ganzhou is the only Song Dynasty brick city wall preserved to this day in the country. It is located on the riverside where the Zhangjiang River and the Gongjiang River meet in Ganzhou. The city wall is 7 meters high on average and is 3.6 kilometers long from the East Gate through the Bajingtai to the West Gate. There are five gates in the entire city: Xijin Gate, Zhennan Gate, Baisheng Gate, Jianchun Gate and Yongjin Gate. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent the Taiping Army from attacking the city, five artillery cities, namely East Gate, Small South Gate, Great South Gate, Xijin Gate, and Bajingtai, were built at the main transportation intersections of Ganzhou City. 🎈You can basically visit all the highlights of Ganzhou along the ancient city wall 👉🏻It is recommended to start the entire citywalk from Zaoer Lane. It was once an ancient street in the Southern Song Dynasty and was called "Jiangjia Lane" in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, most of the people living in the lane were government servants, who were called "Zaoyi" at the time, so it was named Zaoer Lane, which was later corrupted to Zaoer Lane. 👉🏻Walk about 400 meters from Zaoer Lane to Jianchun Gate of the ancient city wall. 👉🏻Walking into Jianchun Gate is the Donghe Floating Bridge, which is about 400 meters long and connects the two ends of Gongjiang River. It is made up of more than 100 small boats tied together with cables. It was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. 👉🏻Climb up the Jianchun Gate city wall and walk 700 meters along the city wall to reach Yongjin Gate. 👉🏻 Continue walking 700 meters forward from the Yongjin Gate City Wall and you will reach the Bajingtai Cannon City in Bajing Park. The platform is 28.5 meters high and was built during the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is located at the confluence of Zhangshui and Gongshui. It was named after the county magistrate Kong Zonghan drew the "Qianzhou Bajing Map" after building the platform and asked Su Shi for a poem based on the map. Bajing Terrace is the best viewing platform in Ganzhou City. Climbing up to the terrace, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Ganzhou. 👉🏻Follow the signs on the wall behind Bajingtai and continue walking for about 500 meters to reach the former residence of Mr. Jiang Jingguo, a brick-and-wood Russian-style building facing Zhangjiang to the west and Yugutai to the south. From 1940 to 1945, Mr. Jiang Jingguo, his wife and children lived here. The desk in the study room of the old house is the only thing that was used by Mr. Jiang in the past. There are many old photos on it that look back on history. 👉🏻Walk another 200 meters from the exit of Mr. Jiang's former residence to reach the Military Gate Tower and Sixianfang. Pass through the Military Gate Tower and walk another 200 meters to reach the commanding height of the old city, Yugutai described by Xin Qiji. Climb up the platform to experience the poetic habitat described by literati and poets. In the main hall on the first floor there is a calligraphy work called "Bodhisattva Man" written by Jiang Zemin himself. 🎈Recommended other attractions in Ganzhou City: Wei Family Courtyard is the largest existing Qing Dynasty family residential building complex in the city. It is also a representative "Nine Wells and Eighteen Halls" style building of the Hakka people in southern Jiangxi. It has been transformed into the Gannan Hakka Cultural Museum. You can visit the Fushougou Museum together, the two attractions are connected. Fushou Ditch is the earliest urban sewer in the world. 🏩Accommodation recommendation: Ganzhou Jinjiang International Hotel, a Spanish royal-style hotel with rooms with balconies overlooking the Ganjiang River and the flower-filled gardens. 🍜Local food recommendation: Li Ji Shaobing, made to order, with thin skin and rich fillings, available in a variety of flavors including fresh meat, pickled mustard greens, secret beef and pickled mustard tuber, none of which is a bad choice, 10 yuan for 5 small cakes.

My first trip after the Spring Festival was not far away. I took a 2-hour high-speed train from Guangzhou to Ganzhou West, a small city with a rich cultural heritage. It is the best-preserved Northern Song city in China today, with many relics from the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, and is known as the "Song City Museum." The old city of Ganzhou has many historical sites that are close together, making it ideal for a city walk. All the attractions are free, so kudos to Ganzhou for its cultural tourism. · [Recommended Route] Ganzhou Confucius Temple → Fushou Canal Museum → Wei Family Courtyard (Gannan Hakka Culture Museum) → Haihui Temple → Standard Clock → Zao'er Lane → Jianchun Gate → Donghe Floating Bridge → Yongjin Gate → Bajing Terrace → Former Residence of Chiang Ching-kuo → Yugu Terrace → Junmen Tower/Sixian Archway → Song Dynasty Nightless City Note: ① Ganzhou Confucius Temple was closed for maintenance last September and only reopened after the Lantern Festival this year. I was lucky to come at the right time, but the nearby Ciyun Pagoda is still under maintenance. ② The Fushou Canal Museum is a 2-minute walk from the Confucius Temple. It introduces the secret of Ganzhou's thousand-year flood-free history. The Wei Family Courtyard (Gannan Hakka Culture Museum) is next to the Fushou Canal Museum. ③ The Wei Family Courtyard is a 2-minute walk from Haihui Temple. Continue walking along Heping Road to the archway of Zao'er Lane. Continue walking for 1 minute to the Standard Clock. You can check in at the Standard Clock and then walk back to Zao'er Lane. ④ Walk through Zao'er Lane for 1 minute to reach Jianchun Gate. Walk through Jianchun Gate to see Donghe Floating Bridge. The bridge is full of life, especially with all kinds of salted fish hanging on the moored boats, which are very appetizing. ⑤ After visiting the ancient floating bridge, return to Jianchun Gate and climb the ancient city wall, where you can overlook the scenery on both sides of the Gong River. Walk along the city wall for 5 minutes to reach Yongjin Gate, and continue walking for 5 minutes to reach Bajing Terrace. ⑥ The city wall section from Yongjin Gate to Bajing Terrace is open from 9 am to 6 pm. From Bajing Terrace, you can see the confluence of the Zhang and Gong Rivers into the Gan River. ⑦ After visiting Bajing Terrace, continue walking along the city wall for 2 minutes to see the sign for the Former Residence of Chiang Ching-kuo, and go down the city wall to visit. After the visit, walk towards Song Dynasty Nightless City, cross the main street of Nightless City, and the right-hand side is the direction to Yugu Terrace. ⑧ If you don't want to see the night view, you can first visit Song Dynasty Nightless City, check in at Junmen Tower, Sixian Archway, and Yugu Terrace Cultural Block, and then go to Yugu Terrace. ⑨ Yugu Terrace is the highest point in Ganzhou City, where you can overlook the whole city. Many literati have inscribed poems here, including Zhao Bian, Su Shi, Xin Qiji, and Wen Tianxiang. Xin Qiji's "Bodhisattva Man: Written on the Wall of Jiangxi Zaokou" is famous at home and abroad. The whole poem is: "Under Yugu Terrace, the clear river flows, how many tears of travelers in between. Looking northwest to Chang'an, countless mountains are pitiful. The green hills cannot be covered, after all, they flow eastward. The river is late and worries me, deep in the mountains, I hear the cuckoo." ⑩ Recommended food in Ganzhou: Gannan stir-fried fish, Ningdu three-cup chicken, Ganzhou mixed noodles, Ganzhou fish cakes, Ningdu meatballs, Shicheng taro dumplings, etc. · Only after visiting Ganzhou did I realize that among the five ancient city walls in China, only the ancient city wall of Ganzhou is from the Song Dynasty, while the others are from the Ming Dynasty. Jiangnan Song City is in Ganzhou, not Hangzhou.

The former residence of Chiang Ching-kuo was originally the site of the Ganzhou Prefecture Office and Examination Hall. The former residence is a Russian-style brick and wood structure building built by Chiang Ching-kuo in 1940, with an area of more than 170 square meters. The plane is in the shape of a "凸" character, with fish scale board walls and a tile roof. From 1941 to February 1945, he lived here with his wife, Chiang Fang-liang, and his children, Hsiao-wen and Hsiao-chang. In 2018, the former residence of Chiang Ching-kuo was announced as a provincial cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province.

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day The former residence of Mr. Chiang Ching-kuo is located in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. It is an imitation Russian-style brick and wood structure building built in 1940 under the supervision of Chiang Ching-kuo. It covers an area of ​​more than 170 square meters, with a "convex" shape in plan, fish-scale board walls and tile roof.

The building is well preserved and is a cultural relic protection unit in Ganzhou City. The main deeds of Chiang Ching-kuo in southern Jiangxi are displayed in the old residence, including the bedroom of the Chiangs, the dormitories of three nannies and children. The desk used by Chiang Ching-kuo is displayed in his office. In the courtyard, there is a white magnolia tree planted by Chiang Ching-kuo himself in 1941, which has been preserved to this day. The former residence is open to the public free of charge, and it is worth your visit. Detailed address: No. 69, Jianguo Road, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City Trip Benefits: Of course, I have used Trip Coin to exchange for local experience activities, which is very convenient.
