What are the most worthwhile ancient towns in China?
China has a long history of more than 5,000 years. Chinese civilization has been uninterrupted for thousands of years, and a large number of ancient towns and cities have been preserved. These towns with traditional styles have become popular tourist attractions, attracting a large number of tourists' attention. The following is a detailed recommendation of the ancient town.

1, qi zhou Ancient City qi zhou Ancient City is located in qi zhou Town, Qichun County, Hubei Province. Qichun is the hometown of Li Shizhen. Bian Xiao has traveled to the local area and found that you can smell the fragrance of medicinal materials when you walk many streets in Qichun. On the way from the county seat to qi zhou Town, the fragrance of medicinal materials floated from time to time outside the window, which made Bian Xiao feel very comfortable. The ancient city of qi zhou was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. There used to be many city gates, but unfortunately most of them were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and only Xiongwumen has been preserved to this day. Xiongwumen was built on a low slope. Standing at the bottom of the slope and looking up at the stone steps and the towers on them, you will feel magnificent. Unfortunately, only Xiongwumen and its walls in the ancient city of qi zhou are buildings left over from history. Unfortunately, there are only antique buildings built by modern people on the streets around Xiongwumen.

2. Jingzhou Ancient City This city is located in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province. Except for the city gates and city walls, the ancient city of qi zhou mentioned above is incomplete. However, the gates and walls of Jingzhou ancient city are quite well preserved.

The ancient city was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been revised continuously since then. The Great Wall we see now was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it is a real place of interest. You might as well go and have a look. Besides, not far from the city, it is the capital of Chu.

-The ruins of Du Ying. It's also worth seeing.

3. Ningyuan Ancient City Ningyuan Ancient City is located in Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province. Built in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. During the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan fought with the army of the late Jin Dynasty here. Speaking of the ancient city of Ningyuan, Bian Xiao personally has great feelings for it. Bian Xiao was studying in Jinzhou, and when he was in a bad mood, he took a long-distance bus to visit Ningyuan Ancient City. The city wall was built by sticking pieces of Shi Zhuan and rice porridge together. The roads in the city are criss-crossed, and there are shops selling all kinds of food and articles on both sides of the road. These shops all have ancient gold plaques. In addition, there are generals' houses and Town God Temple in the city (the temple is dedicated to the founding heroes of Ming Dynasty).

Xu Da), and antique archway. Traveling in the city, as if crossing back to the Ming Dynasty, is not only fast.

A few years ago, Ningyuan ancient city carried out the "lighting project" at night. In this case, it should be good for everyone to find a time to visit the ancient city of Ningyuan at night.

Out of the ancient city of Ningyuan, not far away is the seaside tourist area.

4. Shangqiu Ancient City Shangqiu Ancient City was built in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. It consists of three parts: a brick city, a city lake and a city wall. The outer ring is inside. It looks like an ancient coin. There are many scenic spots in and around the ancient city, among which the scenery near Nanchengmen and Nanhu is worth seeing. Most of the ancient cities in the north only have towers and city walls. An ancient city with an open lake like Shangqiu is rare in the north, not to mention a city in the water.

5. Fenghuang Ancient City This city is located in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province. Bian Xiao passed by the city several times. Although he had no time to visit, he could only have a quick glance, but it was enough to shake Bian Xiao's heart. Buildings in ancient cities in the north usually have only one floor, and occasionally two-storey buildings can be seen. The buildings in Fenghuang Ancient City are mostly three-story and four-story, mostly Miao wooden houses and diaojiao buildings. There are small buildings with red lanterns, ancient pagodas, restaurants selling special snacks, bars and rivers running through the city. More importantly, this is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. Here, you can see folk singers who sing well. If you get along with them, you can also hear them tell you stories about their journey. Bian Xiao's friends used to be singers here.

The ancient city of Ningyuan mentioned earlier. The "lighting project" of Ningyuan ancient city night scene is about 20 17.

It started in 2008. The "lighting project" of Fenghuang ancient city seems to be much earlier. Many years ago, Bian Xiao passed the ancient city of Fenghuang for the first time. At that time, the ancient city of Fenghuang was already full of lights.

6. Pingyao Ancient City Pingyao Ancient City is located in Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, and is the most complete existing ancient city. Pingyao ancient city was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was renovated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are four streets, eight small streets and seventy-two long alleys, where buildings of various dynasties gather. For example, Zhenguo Temple was built in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period; The Confucian Temple is the building of A Jin Dynasty. The county government is a building in Yuan Dynasty; The city wall, including Dianjianglou and Kuixingge on the city wall, was rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, there were four towers. Rishengchang Bank in the city is also the building of A Qing Dynasty.

I am also glad that you came to Pingyao Ancient City to see the architectural features of China in different periods.

The fly in the ointment is that 20 18 Beijing News reported that some unscrupulous merchants sold unqualified "three vinegar" in the name of "Pingyao specialty", which harmed consumers. Fortunately, the relevant departments investigated and dealt with it in time, so that bad businesses got the punishment they deserved. Here, Bian Xiao hopes that some enterprises will not damage Pingyao's reputation.

7.Xi 'an Ancient City Some people look down upon Xi 'an Ancient City and think that it has only the city walls left. But the point is, there are nearly 300 cities in China, Xi 'an is probably unique, and the ancient city walls are still intact. Near 14

Kilometer wall, 18

The city gate is the Ming Dynasty wall of Xi 'an, closely surrounding the main city of Xi 'an, and the bell and drum tower is in the center of the ancient city surrounded by the wall. More importantly, the generalized Xi 'an City Wall also includes the ruins of Chang 'an City Wall in Tang Dynasty. Isn't the only city with intact ancient city walls worth visiting? When Bian Xiao came to Xi, he walked along the city wall and fell in love with this ancient city.

I don't know why Chang 'an was renamed Xi 'an. The name "Chang 'an" is better.

8. Dali Ancient City Dali Ancient City is close to Cangshan and Erhai. Its most attractive place is not its walls and towers, nor its Chongsheng Temple and butterfly spring, but its humanistic atmosphere. It's a paradise for vagrants. Please don't scoff at the mention of "tramp".

Aren't those wandering singers and painters lovely people? Isn't San Mao one of the tramps? "Wandering" does not mean "exile", let alone "beggar". If you can come to the ancient city of Dali, you will be lucky enough to meet some wandering singers and painters with unique skills, and you will certainly admire their skills. Dali ancient city, an ancient city with natural scenery, historical background and contemporary humanistic atmosphere, is definitely worth visiting.
