Ancient City of Jieyang

Ancient City of Jieyang

5.9
3.7/5
6 reviews

Jieyang Ancient City is located in the area of ​​Donghuan Road, Zhongshan Street, Rongcheng District, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. Situated in the middle and lower reaches of the Rongjiang River, it is embraced by the North and South Rivers like jade belts, with crisscrossing streams and rivers, earning it the reputation of "Lingnan Water City" and "Water Lotus". The ancient city preserves a wealth of historical and cultural relics, including national key cultural relics protection units such as Jieyang Confucian Temple, City God Temple, and Jinxian Gate. Among them, Jieyang Confucian Temple, built in the Song Dynasty, is one of the largest and best-preserved historical building complexes of its kind in Lingnan. Jinxian Gate, built in the first year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty (1621), is a rare single building in China that combines a city gate, gate tower, and pavilion. "Qiaolou Xiaojiao" (the corner of the watchtower at dawn) is one of the eight ancient scenic spots of Jieyang. In recent years, the local government has implemented a protection and revitalization project based on the concept of "restoring the old as it was" to restore the ancient city's appearance. Today, Jieyang Ancient City, with its solemn Confucian Temple, majestic City God statue, continuous arcade buildings, and tranquil waterways, is an ideal place to experience the history and culture of Chaoshan and its everyday life.

Many travel guides for Jieyang recommended seeing the Yingge dance performance, so I specifically planned to go. The theater is quite a drive from the city center. It felt like the entire scenic area was set up for the Yingge dance performance; besides the theater, there wasn't much else to see. Arriving early, I had nothing to do but order a drink and wait. The area was deserted until it gradually started to get busier closer to the performance. Although the attendance wasn't high, the performance was still very entertaining; those interested should definitely check it out.

The best tourist attraction in winter, the scenery is also beautiful. The water is very clear, which should be the effect of regular cleaning of the pool. The large pool facilities are also relatively complete, such as underwater massage beds, massage chairs, etc. The important thing is that there are many Chinese medicine pools, milk pools, etc.

Nanxi Water Village is located at the junction of the great plains and the mountains. The terrain is not very undulating, and most of the area is flat farmland and some small hills. It belongs to the subtropical climate zone, with distinct four seasons, suitable temperatures, long summers and short winters, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. Nanxi Water Village has abundant water resources, and many streams and rivers flow through it, which brings irrigation resources to this land and enriches the ecological environment.

I didn't expect to see such a nice City God Temple here. It is clean and tidy. The colorful porcelain sculptures on the roof are so beautiful. There are many gods enshrined in the temple, and they look calm. There is an endless stream of devout believers coming here.

This is the urban center of Puning, which is very prosperous, integrating shopping, leisure, dining, and hotels. There are all kinds of delicious food. If you are tired of shopping, you can find a place to eat. The Vienna Hotel is also nearby, which is very suitable for urban lifestyle. The square is also very lively, with square dancing and children skating, and everyone is having fun.

First of all, the attractions in Jieyang are all very close together. You can probably see everything in a day. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is a must-see. Nearby are the City God Temple, Shuangfeng Temple, Jinxian Gate, the museum, etc. So you can use this as a starting point to begin your Jieyang trip. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is one of the three major Confucian temples in Guangdong, and it's closed on Mondays!

For families with children, it's definitely worth a visit! Visiting the entire park in one day would be very rushed and tiring, leaving your knees sore. For a better experience, I recommend two days and one night. The park has a wide variety of animals, and the cable car and miniature train are quite unique; children had a great time. The staff are very friendly, patiently answering questions and engaging in friendly interactions. If I had to complain, firstly, the food prices inside the park are relatively high (although the Chinese food was okay); secondly, the smell was too pungent when the miniature train passed the bird area (I wonder how this can be improved); and thirdly, the prices in the interactive areas are also quite expensive (for example, feeding the giraffes costs 36 yuan for a single branch!!!). Overall, I highly recommend it for families with children!
