For most people, Jizhou evokes images of harmonious landscapes where mountains and waters embrace one another, majestic ancient architecture rising proudly, endless greenery stretching to the horizon, and quaint farmhouses standing in neat rows. With its stunning scenery and abundant historical sites, Jizhou’s tourism offerings extend far beyond its picturesque mountains, lakes, and waterways. Its development has transcended the confines of traditional tourism, evolving into a multifaceted, multi‑layered, and multidimensional comprehensive industry—where culture serves as its very soul. That is why we have launched the “Jizhou Stories” series, inviting everyone to share the tales of Jizhou and reveal the city’s unique cultural charm.
