Changting Ancient City
长汀古城（汀州府城）
The ancient Tingzhou prefectural city in Changting, Fujian, with its old city walls, Diantou Street and the Sanyuan Pavilion. The Hakka capital also holds red revolutionary sites.
Changting lies about 40 km east of Ruijin in western Fujian. Known in ancient times as Tingzhou, it is a national historic and cultural city, often called the Capital of the Hakka. The old town keeps its city walls along the Ting River, Jichuan Gate, the Sanyuan Pavilion, the old Diantou Street, the Tingzhou Examination Hall and the Confucian temple. Red sites include the former Fujian Provincial Soviet Government building and the Qu Qiubai Martyrs Monument. The old town is free to visit and takes half a day to a full day to explore. A high-speed train from Ruijin takes about 20 minutes, so it pairs easily with Ruijin. Must-try local foods include Changting dried tofu and Hetian chicken.
