Changting/Tingzhou was of importance during the civil war. Chairman Mao lived there and made decisions about political strategies and different actions.
There a little museum for thoses who are interested in the history of the Chinese Communist Party. In the same buildings you find the Hakka museum where you can have some outlines of this culture.

Wandering along the street is the most interesting activity. Take your time and open your eyes...you'll see:
Noodles, bras and underwears drying in the sun.
Drive-in groceries.
Peasants bringing their medicinal herbs on their bikes.

Hakka binguan: A simple but well located hotel
claude-andre Says: The hotel is simple but well run. Nobody speak English and the staff understand only some Mandarin when spoken by foreigners. The check-in was an adventure. It lasted half an hour. The ladies there gave us documents only written in Chinese characters and were unable to enter...
The food was good but nothing special, but we were not able to order Hakka specialties. The ambience is relaxed. At the end of our dinner, ALL THE STAFF wanted to take pictures of us and with us. Probably 100 photographs were taken in 20 minutes.

In town, you find one or two taxis, but people use more frequently cyclo-taxis.

The city gate was built in Tang dynasty. On the square only this gate was left and other Tang buildings surrounding removed. Now it becomes an entertainment centre for elders. Get through the gate there's an old street ahead

Favorite thing: It's a protected architecture on the old street. though not protected well in my opinion. There should be 2 stone lion statues standing on the both sides of the gate now disappearred. At current 9 families live in there and have to turn in rent to the government.
