General presentation
Jianshui
Temples, courtyard houses, ancient wells and ceramic crafts make up a particularly coherent historic city.
To understand what Jianshui is, you must look at the Temple of Confucius of Jianshui, Zhu family garden and Double Dragon Bridge. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Temple of Confucius of Jianshui
A wide range of courses, basins and pavilions testifies to the ancient importance of Confucian teaching in the south of Yunnan. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers itself with discretion, without hindering local practices; schedules, outfits and photographic rules are to be checked on site.
Garden
Zhu family garden
This large shopping residence brings together courtyards, gardens, scenes and refined scenery from the end of the Qing. An early-in-the-day tour allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Bridge
Double Dragon Bridge
A long covered bridge at 17 arches crossed the encounter of two rivers in the countryside of Jianshui. An early-in-the-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
