Have a cultural year

When talking about Ganzhou, we have to mention its reputation as the "Song City in the South of the Yangtze River"

Many literati once left their masterpieces and famous sentences here

The most famous one is that——

"Under the clear river water of Yugu Tower, many passersby shed tears in the middle."
