Travelogue
"Those who prefer a quieter atmosphere may visit Monday to Friday, while those seeking a livelier scene should come at the weekend! The street-side shops cater to all tastes, and there are plenty of opportunities to photograph traditional ethnic minority attire!"
"Wang Yangming's School of Mind, where the Master attained enlightenment at Longchang. The expert commentary proved most illuminating, and the grounds themselves are splendid, offering visitors a profoundly enriching experience. Particularly noteworthy is the memorial hall, which chronicles the Master's entire life journey. Both the Playful Nest and Yangming Cave left a lasting impression."
"I've always considered this a truly splendid spot. Local residents still dwell here, making it an unspoilt scenic area that embodies the authentic Tunchang culture of yore. Particularly after evening showers, strolling along the smooth flagstone paths evokes a distinctly nostalgic atmosphere."
