Features: The term "zhanggu," as defined in modern dictionaries, refers to records of historical figures, institutions, and changes in the cultural and historical landscape. The mountains and rivers of Western Fujian are picturesque. Meihuashan, a national A-level nature reserve, is the homeland of the South China tiger and is hailed as the "green jade in the desert belt of the Tropic of Cancer." Liangshan, a national scenic area in Liancheng County, is praised as "the masculine of the world, the feminine unmatched globally" and is renowned far and wide. The Yongding Tulou is celebrated as the "world's architectural marvel" and is currently applying for World Heritage status. Changting, known as the "capital of the Hakka people," has been listed as a "Chinese historical and cultural famous city." Longkong Cave, known as the "cave of the East China region," and the Sleeping Beauty, representing Longyan National Forest Park, are being developed and improved to welcome the continuous flow of domestic and international guests. Looking back at history is to face the present and the future. Since the reform and opening-up, Longyan has undergone earth-shaking changes. We hope that "Fujian Western Zhanggu" can play a positive role in "preserving history, providing policy references, and enlightening the people."
