A Republican-era building on the bank of the Ting River in Shanghang county town, where Mao Zedong wrote “Cai Sang Zi: Double Ninth Festival”; it is now a memorial museum.
Linjiang Tower lies on the bank of the Ting River in Shanghang county town. Built in the early Republican period, it is where Mao Zedong lived and recuperated in 1929, and where he wrote “Cai Sang Zi: Double Ninth Festival,” with the line “Battlefield chrysanthemums are fragrant beyond compare.” The building now houses an exhibition hall presenting the circumstances of that time, and admission is free. The Ting River flows right in front of it, making it ideal for a riverside stroll. The old town of Shanghang nearby has sights including the Confucius Temple and Wazi Street. Shanghang county town is about 1 hour’s drive from Longyan city.
