You can visit the main attractions in Ganzhou city without spending any money and walking.

My route: Confucian Temple → Fushougou Museum → Wei Family Compound → Zaoer Lane → Standard Clock → Jianchun Gate + Ancient Floating Bridge → Along the Ancient City Wall → Yongjin Gate → Eight Mirror Terrace → Former Residence of Chiang Ching-kuo → Yugu Terrace + Songchao Ever-Sleeping City + Junlou Gate + Four Sages Archway.

A brief description of the attractions is as follows:
① Four Sages Archway: A stone archway with statues of four Song Dynasty sages.
② Songchao Ever-Sleeping City: A street area with ancient Song Dynasty style, which becomes increasingly crowded as the night progresses. I went during the orange drying season, and the many oranges on the roofs and walls were a truly unique sight.
③ Ancient City Wall: The only surviving Song Dynasty brick city wall and the largest surviving ancient city wall in Jiangnan.
④ Standard Clock: The nearby streets feature well-preserved arcade-style buildings.
⑤ Eight Mirror Terrace: Climb the Eight Mirror Terrace for a panoramic view of the entire ancient city wall and the confluence of the Zhang and Gong Rivers.
⑥ Wei Family Compound: A well-preserved Qing Dynasty residence. ⑦ Confucian Temple: It was under renovation at the time, so you could only see it from the outside.
⑧ Zaoer Lane: A street with a thousand-year history, featuring Hakka, Huizhou, and Western-style architecture.
⑨ Chiang Ching-kuo's Former Residence: Furniture and photos from his time at home are preserved.
