Travel Tips

Travel guide:
1. Tour method: Visit Peitian Ancient Village. If you don’t have much time and want to take a closer look at the private houses, you can focus on several important attractions such as Jishu Hall, Guanting, Shuangzhuo Hall, and Nanshan Academy. . If you want to experience Peitian Ancient Village in detail, you can stay in the village for one night, because the local ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are relatively well preserved. If you examine it carefully, you will find many surprises. In the ancient village, you can easily spend a day of leisurely time. On the second day, you can walk around the countryside around the ancient village. There is Ma Tou Temple on Ma Tou Mountain outside the village. You can also walk on the ancient official road leading to Liancheng on the left side of Ma Tou Temple, and the forest trails on the right side of Prajna Hall are all very good.
2. Special recommendation: As a "famous historical and cultural village", the most striking feature of Peitian is not the high halls and houses, but the many academies. The most respectable thing is that Peitian Village, located in the deep mountains and old forests, has established more than 20 academies in more than 600 years, and there are still 6 that can be traced. We focus on recommending ancient academies represented by "Nanshan Academy" and "Prajna Hall" by Wu.
3. Travel reference: Peitian has a profound historical and cultural heritage. If you want to understand Peitian more deeply, I recommend that interested friends read "Guidelines for Peitian Ancient Folk Residences" and "Western Fujian Hakka Ancient Books such as "Village Farming".
