Shuangxi Ancient Town
双溪古镇
The seat of the ancient Pingnan county government. The Confucian Temple, City God Temple and Ming-Qing mansions are well preserved, and it is a nationally recognised historic and cultural town.
Shuangxi served as the seat of Pingnan County for nearly two hundred years. The town preserves historic buildings including the Pingnan Confucian Temple, the City God Temple, the Song Ancestral Hall and the Lu Residence. Most of the buildings along the old street are Qing-dynasty courtyard houses. The Confucian Temple is particularly complete and is one of the most important Confucian temple remains in eastern Fujian. The town is free to explore and is a convenient stop on the way to Baishuiyang. There are local snacks and guesthouses, and you can try local yellow rice wine and guangbing (a local flatbread).
