🗺️ A two-day one-night trip to Ganzhou on the weekend || To relax over the weekend, I chose Ganzhou, which is relatively close to Guangzhou. Overall, it felt quite leisurely. 🚗 Transportation: It takes just over 2 hours from Guangzhou East Station to Ganzhou West, which is very convenient. Ganzhou West Station is quite far from the city center, but a taxi ride of about half an hour gets you there quickly. Taxis in Ganzhou are also very convenient, and the attractions are relatively concentrated. From the hotel to the attractions, you can finish visiting on foot. 🏞️ Attractions: Following the guide, our route was Bell Tower → Zao'er Lane → Ancient City Wall → Bajingtai → Yugutai. Take a ride to the standard Bell Tower, then walk forward to reach Zao'er Lane, and pass through the lane to get to the city wall. Climb the city wall to overlook the floating bridge, then go straight to Bajingtai, and then to Yugutai. As long as you don't spend too much time taking photos, etc., you can finish the tour in two to three hours. Dining Experience: Jiangxi cuisine is too spicy, I was overwhelmed by the spiciness of the first takeout meal. As a non-local, I really couldn't handle it. The first takeout was from a very famous restaurant, which was just average and very spicy. But the lunch the next day was really good! Although it was also very spicy, it was much tastier than the previous day! The pickled pepper fish and three-cup chicken were delicious, but indeed very spicy. Friends who like spicy food might want to give it a try. 🏨 Accommodation: I chose the Grand Skylight Hotel, which is about a ten-minute drive to the attractions, and the taxi fare is only about ten yuan. The room conditions were quite good, and I even got an upgrade to a room with a river view. The buffet dinner at the hotel was also good, and for this price, the buffet is definitely great value for money.

Inside and outside the city wall, there are many authentic snack stalls, and from atop the wall, you can see the scenery inside and outside the city, as well as the Gong River and the floating bridge in full view. Coming out of the city wall is the Donghe Floating Bridge, an ancient floating bridge in Ganzhou, officially named Huimin Bridge. The bridge is about 400 meters long, connecting the two ends of the Gong River, and is made up of more than 100 small boats tied together with ropes. It was built during the Qiandao period of the Song Dynasty (1163—1173) and has a history of over 800 years. The entire floating bridge is divided into 33 sections, connected by ropes, and then fixed above the river surface with steel cables and iron anchors. In the past, when the Gan River's water transport was busy, the bridge would open once at 9:00 am and again at 4:00 pm every day to allow ships to pass through. The bridge is bustling with people coming and going, with small stalls and fishing boats doing business, making it very lively. At night, you can visit the Yugu Terrace Historical and Cultural District. The district is large, and the night view is very beautiful. Walking through it is like stepping into the Song Dynasty city of the south of the Yangtze River, with many girls in ancient costumes taking photos, which is really photogenic.
