As a thousand-year-old town, Xinchang has accumulated rich history and culture, and is favored by the world for its quietness, beauty and diversity. Bridges, flowing water, people, long streets, teahouses, old shops, small temples and ancient temples together form a map of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Shanghai Xinchang Ancient Town was also valued by the great director Ang Lee and became the shooting place of Lust, Caution.
Shanghai Xinchang Ancient Town was originally the south field of Xiasha Salt Field, which was the place where salt people used seawater to dry salt at that time. Later, the beach slowly grew out, and this salt field gradually became a place where salt people lived and exchanged goods. When Cheng Zhen was in Xinchang, Xiasha Salt Field was in its heyday, and the salt production and the number of salt stoves were more than those in western Zhejiang. Today's ancient town has the reputation of "Suzhou, a small new game", which has accumulated a heavy history and culture, and is favored by more people in the world for its quietness, beauty and diversity.
