It is located in the western part of Fujian Province, at the southern foot of the Wuyi Mountains, bordering Guangdong to the south and Jiangxi to the west, with a land area of 3104.16 square kilometers; it has been a key point on the border of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces since ancient times, and is known as the "west gate of Fujian Province". The county town of Changting is composed of Tingzhou Town and Datong Town. The entire county town is the place where we have lived since childhood, and there is no distinction between the ancient and new towns. The city gates are open and do not require tickets, only a few attractions require tickets. Changting city is very small, and it takes only about twenty minutes to drive around. 🚄🚙How to get there 🔴Take a high-speed train to "Changting South Station", and after exiting the station, you can take a taxi or take bus lines 3 or 5 from the parking lot to the city area, which takes about 15 minutes to reach the county town. (Changting does not have taxis, usually, it's Didi) 🔴If you are driving, just drive directly to the city area, find a place to park, and the attractions are within walking distance. 🔴There are a lot of shared electric scooters in the city area, in addition to taking a taxi, you can also choose an electric scooter. 🏢Accommodation recommendation It is recommended to stay in a better hotel, as room prices soar during holidays and are in short supply, so it is necessary to book in advance. If you have time on the weekend, it is still recommended to take a two-day weekend trip, as even the locals find the holiday prices exaggerated. If you stay in a hotel in the city area, a taxi will generally cost less than 10 yuan. ⛩️Must-visit attractions ✅Jichuan Gate (Ancient City Wall) ✅Dafu Di ✅Baxi Pavilion ✅Wolong Academy ✅Diantou Street ✅Sanyuan Pavilion ✅Changting County Museum (Tingzhou Examination Hall) ✅Tingzhou Confucian Temple ✅Wushi Alley (Yunxiang Pavilion) ✅Chaotian Gate ✅Dingwu Ridge 🎫Attraction tickets 🟡The combined ticket for the four major scenic areas is 88 yuan per person.
