Very well preserved old city. It was almost empty on Monday. People can be seen washing clothes in the river. Don't go into the temple. They offer you free incense, then give you a blessing. Suddenly a WeChat QR code is produced. They suggested I pay 400 Yuan but I gave 100 just to get out of there and no hassle.

Wonderful old style village high in the mountain. Climate is cool, I was lucky to get a sunny day. Nice cheap food available, good value for money, recommend.

The Ganzhou Confucian Temple was built in the 7th year of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. The main buildings include Minglun Hall, Wenchang Palace, Dacheng Hall, Dacheng Gate, Zhuangyuan Bridge, Qixingmen, Chongsheng Ci, etc., covering an area of 4,887 square meters. There is a shadow wall about 18 meters long in the front of the Temple of Literature. The middle of the shadow wall is made of stone-shaped four-petaled window, which can be seen from the street. There is a door on each side of the window. The title of "German World" on the left door means the hall of the school school, and the title of the road on the right door is "the ancient crown and the present", indicating that it is a place dedicated to Confucius. Admission is from the left, and the worshipper enters from the right. Crossing the Shifangmen, there is a half round pool, about 1 foot 2 feet deep, clear water clear, named Yuechi. There is a stone arch bridge on the moon pond, commonly known as the Yuegong Bridge, also known as the Zhuangyuan Bridge. Anyone who has academic success will come to the bridge and worship the hole, expressing gratitude and praying for a great future. Or the students will step into the bridge before the exam, and they will be able to make a name for themselves. There are two tall osmanthus trees on both sides of the bridge. After the bridge, there is a row of blue-and-mortar brick-and-wood structure, leaving the middle gate. It was originally a place dedicated to the chief executives of the dry state of Ganzhou. The name is named and the right side is dedicated to the local celebritys tablet. Xiangxian Yin, such as Yang Yuebin, Luo Rongguang, Yang Weishu and other people's tablets. Passing through the middle door, the left and right sides are Dongpu and Xiqiao. It used to be a place dedicated to the 72nd disciple of Confucius. Later, it was used as a classroom for the National Eighth Middle School. In front of it is the Dacheng Hall. In front of the temple, there is a "Yu Dao" for the emperor to pay homage. On the carving of the dragon pattern, this road can only go to the emperor. Other ministers or meritors can only be left and right.

In the mysterious Xiangxi Jishou, 20 kilometers away from Jishou, there is one of the eight express highways planned by the state - one of the key projects in the Changsha-Chongqing Passage Hunan section Ji (Shou) Tea () Expressway . He is magnificently spanning between the valleys, with a total length of 1073.65m. The main span of the suspension bridge is 1176m and the vertical height is 366m. The Aizhai Bridge has created four world firsts, greatly improving the traffic status of the two provinces and cities, and is of great significance to the docking of the two provinces and the central and western regions. The Aizhai Bridge has four world firsts one is the main span of the bridge 1,176 meters, spanning the canyon suspension bridge, creating the world's first. The second is the first structural design scheme that completely separates the tower and the beam, creating the world's first. Third is the first to adopt the rail-sliding method to erect steel truss girder, which is the first in the world. Four is the first to adopt the rock anchor sling structure and use carbon fiber as the prestressed reinforced material, which is the first in the world.

In most people's minds, everyone who mentions the ancient city of Xiangxi will only think of the phoenix. However, as everyone knows, in a place dozens of kilometers away from the phoenix, there is such a small town quietly. She does not have the noise of tourists, some are just quiet people, some are not polluted green rivers, some are the simple Xiangxi style. Here is the ancient city of Ganzhou. This is a place where there are no tourists, and there are basically no other tourists in the ancient city. It is a place where you can really live with the locals and forget the troubles of the world. I met an old man with a lotus leaf bag on the edge of Hujiatang. As a Hunan native, I am very familiar with this feeling. This is the taste of a post-dinner snack made by my grandmother when I was a child. But as time goes by, fewer and fewer people will have this craft, and this taste has not been known for many years. I can find such a simple taste in Ganzhou, which is the life I yearn for.
