Introducing Tianjie
Tianjie is located in the central urban area of Ciping, Jinggangshan, Jiangxi Province, covering an area of 50,000 square meters. It is the only largest commercial area in the central scenic area of Ciping, Jinggangshan. The architectural design and planning adopts modern concepts and absorbs classic elements of Huizhou architecture and Luling architecture. At night, it is crowded and bustling, making it a great place for tourists to relax, shop and have fun.
Tianjie is just a street, a street deep in the clouds and fog, a street without rushing, a street that goes with the flow. The streets are lined with dried goods such as mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and plums. Although they are clearly commercial products, they do not feel cynical.
At the end of Tianjie Street stands a large memorial archway, inscribed with the golden characters "Tianjie." On either side of the archway, two couplets are inscribed: "A scenic tourist attraction, a verdant paradise, a noble cause that shines across China; a revolutionary cradle, a revolutionary hometown, whose outstanding achievements shine brightly."
Climate and best time to travel
Boasting a subtropical humid monsoon climate, Tianjie Street is lined with whitewashed walls and green tiles, with eaves soaring into the sky. Amidst its rustic simplicity, the vibrant red lanterns add a touch of spirituality. The cool, solid stone pavement doesn't feel heavy, but rather complements the refreshing breeze and the peaceful tranquility it brings. It's a great place to visit in all seasons.
