If you are fascinated by underground tunnels, this attraction is worth a visit.

🚉Transportation tips:
Bus 301 departs from Jiexiu Station every half hour, RMB 3 per ride, 1 ride per hour.

🗓Route:
Nanbao Gate - Guandi Temple - Ancient Military Training Ground - Astrology Culture Exhibition Hall - Kuixing Tower - Kehan Temple - Underground Tunnel - Longhefu - Yongchun Tower - Yulong Temple - Kongwang Temple - Erlang Temple

📝Tips:
1. Gate: The scenic area has a south gate and a north gate. The main entrance is on the south side, and the bus stop is also on this side. Pay attention to the navigation if you drive.
2. Tunnel: One-way, no return. Check out the scenery near Guandi Temple before entering the tunnel. Be sure to climb the city wall and overlook the attractions in front of you. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. The tunnel takes about 30 minutes.
3. Ancient buildings: Don't miss the unique "Fu" character. The glazed stele in Kongwang Temple is very exquisite, but unfortunately it is covered by glass. Erlang Temple is now a glazed exhibition hall, where you can see many exquisite glazed items.
4. Terrain: The road from Jiexiu to the scenic area is uphill. The south gate is the highest point. Although the north side is lower, the houses are basically flat. Pay attention to the waterway on the main street. It was originally used for drainage from south to north, but now there is always water to prevent the air from drying out. The scenic area is very thoughtful.
5. Performance: The scenic area has regular performances, but the quality is average, so you don't need to wait for them.
6. Along the way: You will pass by Lingkong Tower on the way, which is a warm-up for Zhangbi Ancient Castle. It is a paid attraction, similar to the free Shigong Tower in the urban area, so you don't need to buy a ticket to enter.
