Yuhuadong Culture Town
玉华洞文博小镇
A cultural district combining the Jiangle County Museum, the Yang Shi Memorial Hall and a dining street, a good place to learn about the Neo-Confucian scholar Yang Shi.
The Yuhuadong Culture Town lies south of Jiangle county town, beside the Yuhua Cave visitor center, and is a newly built comprehensive cultural and tourism district. The Jiangle County Museum has five themed galleries introducing the county’s history and intangible cultural heritage such as lei cha and bamboo paper making. The Yang Shi Memorial Hall displays the life of Yang Shi, the Northern Song Neo-Confucian scholar at the center of the story of “Standing in the Snow at Cheng’s Gate,” and the transmission of Minxue (Min School) learning. The district also has a lei cha teahouse and local snacks where visitors can try making lei cha. The museum is generally free and may close on Mondays, so check the official notices.
