Qili Ancient Town
七鲤古镇
A replica heritage cultural district on the east bank of the Gong River, built around the site of the Song and Yuan Qili kilns. Night tours, performances and snacks are concentrated here, making it ideal for an evening visit.
Qili Ancient Town is located in Qili, on the east bank of the Gong River, east of central Ganzhou. This is the site of the Qili kilns, a famous porcelain kiln site of the Song and Yuan dynasties. The kiln remains are a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. In recent years, an international tourism resort in an ancient-town style has been built here, with replica streets and alleys, riverside walkways, guesthouses, Hakka cuisine and nighttime performances. When the lights come on, it faces the ancient city wall across the river. Entry to the district is free, though performances and some activities charge admission. It takes about 15 minutes by taxi from the old town. It is best to go in the early evening to eat and enjoy the night views.
