Discover Jinxiang

 
Jinxiang is a small city in the Shandong province of China. Known for its production of garlic, it has been dubbed "The Capital of Garlic in the World". The city's economy is largely based on agricultural activities, with many locals employed in farming and producing goods such as chives, ginger, green onions, and dried garlic.

The Jinxiang Old Street provides visitors with a glimpse into classic Chinese architecture, complete with traditional buildings that date back to the Qing Dynasty. Visitors can explore handicraft stores, street food stalls and traditional teahouses while they soak up history and culture. For those looking to experience modern Chinese life outside of the cities, Jinxiang offers a unique perspective through its rural landscape lined by fields and farms visited by locals every day.

When visiting Jinxiang it is worth checking out Zhuyue Temple situated at the foot of Wuling Mountain which dates back more than 1500 years. It provides an insight into ancient Buddhist culture including various statues such as one depicting Guanyin - goddess of mercy - as well as elaborate wall paintings telling stories from Buddhist mythology. The mountain also boasts picturesque views overlooking nearby villages and hillsides where guests are encouraged to take in their own piece of tranquility among nature's beauty during their visit.
