If you travel to Hangzhou, there is such a place that you must go. It can be said that it is the epitome of the history of Hangzhou, where we can see the development track of Hangzhou. It is a cultural block called Qinghefang historical and cultural characteristic block. Although there is no title of tourist grade, I personally think it should be comparable to 5A scenic spots. The scale of this piece is not particularly large, with a total area of about 13.66 hectares.
With the continuous development of urbanization, such simple and traditional blocks are rare in cities, especially in Hangzhou, the only well-preserved old city in Hangzhou. Why do you say this is a place where you have to punch in when you travel to Hangzhou? Due to its profound historical and cultural heritage, many century-old shops in Hangzhou are here, such as Wang, Wan Long Ham Stack, Hu Qingyutang, Fang Huichuntang, Ye Zhongdetang, Baohetang, Zhuangyuantang and Wang Runxing.
In addition to a century-old shop, there are many ancient buildings here, including the site of Deshou Palace, which is located to the east of Xingong Bridge in Heye Street, as well as the Drum Tower, Hu Xueyan's former residence, Hu Qingyu Hall, Southern Song Imperial Street, Wu Shan Leisure Culture Square and Huangcheng Pavilion, which are also worth punching in.
In addition to understanding the local history and culture, visiting the ancient streets naturally requires tasting special foods. Now this ancient street has developed into an ancient cultural, commercial and tourist street with ornamental, artistic, cultural and commercial features. There are many specialties here, some of which are century-old shops, and you have to queue up if you want to buy something.
Qinghefang historical and cultural block is only a few hundred meters away from Hangzhou West Lake. As a business district, of course, it is free to visit. Visitors who have been here have a high opinion of it. If you are interested, you can come and visit.
