Night Tour on Ting River, Dreaming Back to Tingzhou: Unlock the Ancient City’s Night Charm by Boat

Twilight spreads over the Ting River, the painted boat pushes through the green waves, beginning the "Dream Back to Tingzhou" journey✨. A cultural tourism highlight of Changting, Fujian, connecting millennia of cultural heritage with modern light and shadow, the voyage is an immersive historical scroll. Must-see along the way: Every step reveals ancient charm🏮 As the painted boat moves forward, lights on both banks illuminate. The Ming Dynasty ancient city wall is outlined by lights showing its age, the Guangchu Gate tower’s flying eaves reflect on the river; the "Tingzhou Imperial Examination Hall" water curtain projection recreates the grandeur of the imperial exams📜; the Hakka Mother Origin statue accompanied by water sounds tells the story of Hakka migration💧. The evening breeze passes by, the river lights and lanterns on the shore shine together, as if traveling through an ancient port.
