Known as the first town in Siming since ancient times, it is located in Haishu District, Ningbo, at the eastern foot of Siming Mountain. It is a famous town in eastern Zhejiang with a long history.

Known as the "First Town of Siming Dynasty", it is a famous historical and cultural town.

In the fifth year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 401), General Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved to Juzhang County (now Cicheng) in Xiaoxi (now Yinjiang Town), and later moved to Sanjiangkou, now Ningbo.

Xiaoxi Town has been a county and state government for more than 600 years in history. In 1911, it was renamed Yinjiang Town. It has a history of more than 1,600 years.

As a famous cultural town with a history of thousands of years, Yinjiang has rich historical and cultural relics: the Yinjiang Temple Fair, which has lasted for thousands of years, is a key provincial intangible cultural heritage protection project. There are three temple fairs in a year, namely "March 3rd".

——Guangxi Bridge, Xuanci Bridge; Langguandi Ancient Building Complex and many other ancient building complexes, as well as the beautiful ancient trees on the bank of Qingjiang River, etc.

Itshan Weir has been known as a miracle since ancient times.

"The stone was built as a weir between the two mountains." The Tashan Weir built under the supervision of the county magistrate Wang Yuanwei in the seventh year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty is one of the four famous ancient water conservancy projects in my country.

After more than 1,170 years of exposure to wind, frost, rain, snow and floods, it is still basically intact and continues to play its functions of blocking salt water, storing fresh water and draining waterlogging.

The Guangxi Bridge in the ancient town has a particularly beautiful ancient charm.

This ancient bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was a stone single-hole stone arch bridge built to facilitate the north-south transportation in Yinjiang Town and mobilize the people.

It is a supporting project for its mountain weir.

The ancient bridge that has gone through vicissitudes of life seems to tell people about its past glory.

The Yinjiang Covered Bridge in the ancient town is worth visiting.

It was originally located about 500 meters downstream of Tashan Weir. It was called "Dade Bridge" in the past. This bridge corridor was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years.

After many reconstructions, it was renamed Yinjiang Bridge in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was also changed to a stone pier wooden structure covered bridge. This bridge is also the first stone pier wooden structure covered bridge in Zhejiang Province.

However, it was demolished again in 1979 and rebuilt in 2014, becoming a local leisure place.

The ancient town has Shangrusong ancient buildings, which were built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The overall layout is square, covering an area of ??1113 square meters, with a courtyard structure. There are three courtyards from the front and back. The first entrance is through the Shikumen and Gate.

It consists of four parts: the house, the wing room and the main hall. Each courtyard is connected to each other. There is a patrol lane on the west side. The south wall has a higher platform to prevent floods.

A quiet town full of philosophy and ancient charm, all the time has many years of transparent memories.

As the "Hometown of Yangming", Yangming Ancient Town adheres to the positioning of "the source of conscience and the holy place of spiritual learning". Now it has a completely new look. Walking in the streets of the ancient town, you can feel the charm of "the unity of knowledge and action" everywhere.

Located in the core of the old city of Yuyao, it consists of three major sections: Fuqian Road historical cultural and commercial district, Wushengmen Yangming cultural and commercial district, and Longquanshan historical and cultural landscape area.

This is the only comprehensive leisure, international, cultural and tourist destination in China with the characteristics of Yangming’s hometown.

The Tongji Bridge in the ancient town spans the Yao River and connects the northern and southern cities of Yuyao. It is majestic like a rainbow lying on the waves.

Tongji Bridge is also known as Shunjiang Bridge.

Because it is the longest and highest bridge on the Yaojiang River, it is called the "First Bridge in Eastern Zhejiang".

According to the "Yuyao County Chronicle", the bridge was first built during the Qingli Period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1041-1048). It was originally a wooden bridge and was originally named Dehui Bridge and had a wooden structure.

Later it was renamed Hongqiao and was repeatedly built and destroyed.

In the third year of Yuan Zhishun (1332), it was rebuilt into a stone three-hole bridge and named Tongji Bridge.

The Tongji Bridge is 90 meters long and tall and majestic. There is a stone tablet beside the bridge with the inscription: "The ship passes by but the sail is incomprehensible", which is enough to prove it.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi traveled here when he was the magistrate of Yin County. He couldn't help but admire: "The mountains are like blue waves rolling over the river, and the water is like the blue sky shining on the moon." Shunjiang Tower, commonly known as Drum Tower, is located in Yuyao City. It is connected with Tongji Bridge

It forms a combination of "Changhong soaring into the sky and flying pavilion ballasting".

Shunjiang Tower went through the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was rebuilt many times due to disasters during the Wanli, Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing years.

There is a poem from the ancients that says: "The whale struck Haidong with a heavy blow, and the Yangtze River looked down like a dragon." "The legacy of the mountains and valleys is recalled, and the sunset on the river tower is dim and the sky is clear." It describes the majestic appearance of Tongji Bridge and Shunjiang Tower.
