This ancient town has always been a very popular tourist attraction. There are countless scenic spots and countless historical cultures in the ancient town, so it is very popular with people. China has a long history, and there are ancient towns all over the country, but it is the most famous ancient town in China.
That is the ancient town of Jiangnan. The famous Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen and so on are all famous. Of course, not all the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River are famous. There is such an ancient town in Zhejiang, which is not famous, but the scenery is not bad at all. Let's have a look!
This is Qiantan ancient town, located in Taizhou, Zhejiang. It is a microcosm of the rare rural ancient town culture in southern China, which is of great significance to the study of ancient rural areas in China. But also an ancient town with a long history, with a history of thousands of years. There is a three-mile-long dragon-shaped ancient street in the ancient town, and there are ancient buildings beside it.
These ancient buildings have different ages and can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. There are many buildings here, such as shops, theaters and inns. The most famous is the magnificent hall with three heads and nine doors, which is full of ancient charm and can make you feel the charm of a thousand-year-old town. The ancient town is a provincial-level protected scenic spot and one of the well-preserved commercial ancient towns in Zhejiang.
Moreover, the ancient town is a rare intersection of five streams. That is, Zhumuxi, Wanzhuxi, Jiudukengxi and Huangyukeng meet Yong 'anxi at the same point, so the ancient town is rich in water culture and has many rivers, which makes the ancient town more agile and more developed in traffic. A hundred years ago, it was the commercial center of China, but it is gradually declining now.
There are also five ports in the ancient town, namely Wuyi Port, Dongyang Port, Jinyun Port, Yongkang Port and Ministry of Industry Port. Rich and diverse. Moreover, there are many cultural relics and scenic spots in the ancient town, which are rich and diverse, with many buildings such as old shops, academies and temples. These buildings are full of ancient charm and are the best places to show local culture. But today's ancient town is not famous.
Since the Republic of China, this ancient town has gradually declined because of the changes of the times. Until now, it is only an ancient town for memorial and research, but the scenery of the ancient town is really good. Although the scenery is gone, the internal buildings are still well preserved.
In a word, this ancient town is well worth visiting, and it is also a beautiful ancient town with few people. Tickets to 35 yuan in Qiantan Ancient Town are not expensive, and you can still see the beautiful scenery. Have you ever been here? What do you think of this ancient town?
Which of the five most beautiful ancient towns in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province do you like best?
Zhejiang, Hangzhou.
The scenery of Xizi Lake embodies everyone's imagination and memory of Hang Cheng.
However, I don't know that there are many long streets and old lanes in this land, which hide the deep memory of the ancient town.
Let's take a look at the five most beautiful ancient towns in Hangzhou. How many have you been to? Which one do you like best?
Yuhang, the ancient town of Tangqi. Here, there is no glitz of Zhouzhuang, no massiness of Nanxun, no poetry of Xitang and no richness of Wuzhen. Tangqi, an ancient town half an hour's drive from Hangzhou, is the most leisurely day in Jiangnan water town.
It was once the first of the top ten famous towns in Jiangnan where merchants gathered, and it was rich in Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, emperor Qianlong, who loved to play, came here several times and coveted the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. Now, the Grand Canal is no longer a golden waterway, and the town is finally calm.
The light rain is falling, but it complements the scenery of the pond. When it is foggy, the water waves are rolling, the boatman is fireworks, and the world suddenly becomes warm. The rain soaked the white walls and black tiles, the water under the eaves became a string, the slate road was slippery and shiny, and the river reflected the ancient arch bridge. ...
Ancient bridges, stone roads, old houses and Tangqi all have the shadow of all the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not big, there are memorable foods, old houses left by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the slow life of local residents. Only by crossing an ancient canal bridge can they enter the scenery outside Hangzhou.
When you go to Tangqi, you will definitely visit Guangji Bridge. This ancient bridge with a history of hundreds of years is like the soul of Tangqi. With it, the ancient town can prosper. 20 14 The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was successfully declared as a World Heritage Site, and Guangji Bridge was on the list. As a part of the ruins of the canal, every brick and tile that crosses this bridge has the beauty of traveling through time.
Go 20 meters north after crossing Guangji Bridge, and you will find the shop of "Centennial Huichang", a time-honored brand in Zhejiang. This food store was founded in 1800, and its candied fruit making skills were listed in the list of intangible cultural heritage projects in Hangzhou. Tangqi Zongzi was named "Hangzhou Famous Snack", which are all part of Tangqi cultural heritage.
Moreover, after crossing Guangji Bridge, you can also go to the location of Shuibei Street, which is a traditional food handed down by Paul in the town for a hundred years. There are snack bars, such as Fagan cakes, door plank rice, anti-flu restaurant, a packet of incense and so on. Many old Hangchow people go to Tangqi, but they never forget to buy some cakes at Fagan Pastry or Zhuyitang in Shuibei Street. The materials are sufficient and the price is cheap.
Hangzhou, Binjiang, Xixing Ancient Town. A low-key and hidden ancient town in the city, a prosperous place in the past.
Xixing ancient town, once the gateway of central Zhejiang in history, has developed transportation and dangerous terrain. It has been a prosperous place since ancient times. The old street faces the river and the water, and the main road is in a hurry, which occupies the benefits of transportation. 2,500 years ago, it was the ancient crossing of Qiantang River, and it was an important "crossing Tianjin" for the exchange of personnel between the North and the South and the trade of goods between the East and the West. The Guling Post Station is the only way from Huiji, the capital of Yue State, to Gusu, the capital of Wu State, and it has become "the oldest market in Xiaoshan". In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was the starting point of the East Zhejiang Canal and became a transportation hub connecting the north and the south and connecting the middle of Zhejiang. Court officials, businessmen and scholars keep coming and going, and everything is handled here, and the market is prosperous. It has always been "the first in eastern Zhejiang, the throat of Ning, Shao and Taiwan".
Lanterns can be said to be a specialty of Xixing. Making lanterns is the craft of women in Xixing in the past, and almost every household can make lanterns.
Therefore, Xixing is also known as the hometown of lanterns. In the Song Dynasty, Xixing handmade bamboo lanterns were very famous in China, and almost all lanterns used in the Southern Song Dynasty came from Xixing people. It is said that in those days, there were many officials and businessmen coming and going, and residents needed to light lamps, so at that time, besides crossing the pond, the lantern shop was the most lively on Xixing Street. Xixingdu Tangxing Wharf is a part of the Grand Canal on the World Heritage List. Crossing the pond is a "transshipment operation" dedicated to transshipment of goods for merchants in the past, and it is also a "logistics center" in history.
According to the records of Xixing Town, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were 72 and a half ponds in Xixing, with thousands of workers such as porters, boatmen, porters and rickshaw pullers. It was a famous cargo distribution center in the south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, there were many restaurants and merchants in Xixing Hotel. At its peak, there were as many as 72 ponds in Xixing, and each pond had a special type of transshipment goods, including tea, tobacco and medicinal materials. ......
This river port is still very famous in history. It is a part of the East Zhejiang Canal. The East Zhejiang Canal, also known as the Hangzhou-Ningbo Canal, is a canal in Zhejiang. It starts from Xixing Street in Binjiang District in the west, crosses Cao 'e River, passes through downtown Shaoxing and reaches Yongjiangkou in Ningbo City in the east, with a total length of 239 kilometers. As an extension of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the East Zhejiang Canal is also a world heritage.
The ruins of Chenghuang Temple are also near here, but now there are only some stone tablets left on the ground.
But there are also well-preserved, such as the old building Sun Zhai, which is still inhabited. Next to the Yongxing Gate site, it connects the ancient canal in eastern Zhejiang and Qiantang River, and is mainly used to adjust the water level and water quality of the ancient canal. Now it has lost its sluice function. These are also relatively complete old houses, which are typical representatives of "front shop and back house" before Xixing.
Indeed, the quaint ancient town lives happily here. Scenery is everywhere, and it is real step by step. Blue slate steps, beaming red lanterns, Jiangnan people in memory. There are not many tourists, and the whole ancient town is particularly leisurely. Old people walking along the river bank and women washing mops make this ancient town very grounded.
"Tangchang has a thousand years of emblem, Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Anhui, and the first town has 200 miles of water leading to Fuchun and Qiantang." This is the Millennium ancient town-He Qiao. The ancient town of He Qiao is located in the south of Lin 'an, named after many rivers and bridges.
1200 years ago, during the "Anshi Rebellion" of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a family named Wang set out from Anhui and moved to Changhua with all ages. At this point, they have been exhausted because of the running all the way. At the end of the road, I found this place surrounded by mountains, rich in soil and water, beautiful in mountains and rivers, and a peaceful scene, so I decided to thrive here. In this way, a war inadvertently opened the prelude to He Qiao's thousand-year history.
The Liuxi River, on which the ancient town of He Qiao depends, is an extension of the ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou road on the water, and He Qiao once prospered for the second time in history. Relying on the estuary of Sanjiang River, it thrives on the river and commerce, and has the reputation of "little shanghai" and "Qinhuai in the west of Zhejiang". China immigrated to He Qiao, an ancient town, and got together because of business, but left because of business. Since ancient times, it has been the gathering place of "committee of 100, Baijiadian and Craftsman's Club". Although there are not many famous families, they have left rich folk customs and farmers' habits, which have become a rich treasure of Lin 'an's material and cultural heritage. Including the Western Zhejiang Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, He Qiao Nongbo Folk Museum, Lou Qing Cultural Center and other cultural venues, the Fengyunhe Bridge is the icing on the cake.
The ancient town of He Qiao is the seat of the ancient Changhua County. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were four towns in Tangchang, and He Qiao ranked first because of its "shape of the city's water mouth, which was superior to Tangchang and the only business crown". Up to now, you can still see "Tang Changshou Town" on the town gate.
He Qiao has a history of over 65,438+0,300 years. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was densely populated and had a prosperous business culture. It was called "Changshou Town of Tang Dynasty" because it was located at the intersection of three rivers. Where there is a bridge, there must be water, and the waterway is navigable. In ancient times, there were no fewer than a thousand fireworks around Heqiao. For quite some time, the terrain of the river bridge is self-evident. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the 1940s, He Qiao prospered again, and many organizations set up festivals here, which was quite influential. He Qiao is also a commercial market in western Zhejiang, and is known as the "little shanghai". Nowadays, although it has changed over the years, historical sites and scenic spots are no longer the same.
He Qiao Old Street is the symbol of the ancient town and the most direct embodiment of the ancient town culture. The old street is nearly 2000 meters long from north to south and 5 meters wide. It is all paved with stones and pebbles. There are more than 100 shops on both sides of the ancient street, which has the traditional architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and still retains the traces of the shops of that year.
The shops in He Qiao Old Street still retain the style of "front shop and back shop", and you can see old shops such as Xu Yilong, Jishantang, Chai Zhizhen, Hu Sensheng, Huiyuan Hall, Changnan Police Station and Yuelu Car Shop. Through these historical walls, we can still recall the style and splendor of the ancient town.
Here, the old buildings in the late Qing Dynasty are still there. Taipinggou on the old street is the most distinctive landscape in the ancient town. Water is introduced from Puxi and flows into the door of every household. It is one meter wide and two meters deep. Exposed stone strips are flush with the road surface, with tenons and mortises. There are open wells and stone steps at regular intervals, which are convenient for residents to fetch water, wash rice, wash clothes and make a fire.
Longmen Ancient Town is located at the foot of Longmen Mountain in Fuchunjiang River, 52km southwest of Hangzhou. It is famous for being the hometown of Sun Quan, and also known as the most beautiful ancient town.
The ancient city is surrounded by mountains, "Longmen Mountain is more beautiful than Lvliang Longmen Mountain". During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yan Ziling was amazed when he visited Longmen Mountain, hence the name Longmen Town.
The residents of Longmen Ancient Town are mostly descendants of Sun Quan. According to the preserved genealogy, from the establishment of the Three Kingdoms and the State of Wu to the early years of the Republic of China, Sun Shi has propagated for 65 generations. Now, more than 70% of people in Longmen Ancient Town are surnamed Sun, which is naturally the community with the most concentrated descendants.
Longmen ancient town was bred by an earlier big family. Centered on two ancestral temples in Sun Shi, there are more than 40 temples, 3 brick archways, ancient pagodas 1 seat and temples 1 seat. The houses in the town are connected with corridors, and the long streets are connected with winding alleys. People from outside the town enter the town as if they were in a maze.
Longmen ancient town is very large in scale, and its scenery is not the same as that of the general Jiangnan ancient town, because the ancient town is located in the mountainous area, and the buildings are mostly made of stones, and the ground is also paved with pebbles. The ancient buildings of Ming and Qing dynasties in the ancient town are well preserved, Longmen Creek passes by the ancient town, and the inkstone pool in the center of the ancient town has beautiful scenery.
In addition, the ancient town also has the Jiangnan style of people with small bridges and flowing water, so you can live in Longmen ancient town for one night to experience it in detail.
Lion City, Yuan Wen, Jiangjia Town, Qiandao Lake, Chun 'an County, with the charm of a thousand-year-old town, reappears the underwater thousand-year-old town and is now a 4A scenic spot. Yuan Wen Lion City is modeled after the Millennium Lion City at the bottom of Qiandao Lake. Although it is called the city, it is actually an ancient town with the overall Huizhou style, which is integrated with Qiandao Lake and is very suitable for leisure and vacation.
On the ground, Yuan Wen Lion City not only restored the most prosperous East Street and North Street in the Lion City, but also reproduced seven famous brand buildings, such as Gongde Archway and Zhenjie Archway in the North Street, and restored the architectural details of many underwater ancient cities.
The most attractive features of Yuan Wen Lion City are the seven archways on the main street, namely, Zhongyi Square, Father-Son Square, Xujiang Xunliang Square, Yumen Third Square, Hakka Lian Deng Square, Champion Square and Tianbao Jiexiao Square. They have become the real-life museums of Jiangnan archway culture, and each archway has its own unique origin.
Yuan Wen Lion City, the first intangible life experience base in China, relies on a series of folk customs activities such as traditional handicrafts, intangible projects, performing arts shows in the Republic of China, martial arts performances, etc., so that tourists can experience the traditional humanistic customs of Chun 'an.

The lowest-key ancient town in Zhejiang has a history of 800 years. What is this place?
There are a large number of water towns in the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In addition to the six famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are some relatively low-key towns. Although there are no tourists from Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen, their antique and newly painted styles are also worth visiting. Gantong ancient town is such a small town. Although quiet, it has a unique style.
Qiantong Ancient Town, located in the southwest of Ninghai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province 14km, was founded in the late Southern Song Dynasty, with a history of about 800 years. Historically, the Confucian culture prevailed in the ancient town of Qiantong. The local Tongboli hired Fang Xiaoru to give lectures here twice, which laid a profound cultural foundation and became the town with the most ancient charm of Confucian culture in eastern Zhejiang.
The scenery of Qiantong ancient town is slightly different from that of Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen and other water towns. The roads here are paved with pebbles, and the foundations of houses are mostly made of stone. There is no river in front of the residents' house, only a stream that flows to this day. People living near streams have stone slabs or stone bridges connected with cobblestone roads, which constitute the unique landscape of Qiantong Ancient Town.
According to historical records, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Tong came here to visit the mountains and rivers and stumbled upon this land surrounded by mountains and rivers, so he decided to move his family from Huangyan to here. Later, he moved here and lived in front of Huiming Temple, hence the name "Gantong". Today, the ancient town of Qiantong has a population of 26,000. Thanks to the local history and profound cultural heritage, Qiantong Ancient Town was selected as the "Famous Historical and Cultural Town in China".
The most prosperous period of Gantong ancient town was the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Up to now, there are more than 300 ancient residential buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties/KLOC-0, which are famous for their unique layout. Every family lives near the stream, and there is a small bridge in front of each family connected with the cobblestone road. In addition to the ancient houses, the old streets, archways and pavilions complement each other, so the ancient town of Qiantong is also called "Lijiang in East Zhejiang".
The reason why the layout of residential houses here is strange is that the former Tonggu Town was designed and built according to the "Hui" layout of Jiugong Bagua. Walking in the streets of the town gives people a sense of maze. If you want to leave the village, you can follow the direction of the stream. This layout reminds me of Longmen ancient town in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
There is also a modern cinema in the town, which is the product of the last century and has been well preserved so far. Now it is a red education point, and you can visit it for free. have
It looks like an ordinary town, but the night is so amazing. There are many shops, post offices and specialty stores on the main road of the ancient town, and oil-paper umbrellas are hung on the road, adding a lot of luster. The busiest area is near the post office, but most shops are closed at night, which is a pity.
