Yangming Ancient Town is located in the core of the old city of Yuyao City, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province.
Yangming Ancient Town is built in the core of the old city of Yuyao, adjacent to Longquan Mountain in the west and along the north side of Yaojiang River. Before we entered Yangming Ancient Town, the first thing that caught our eyes was the towering Shunjiang Tower. , Shunjiang Tower is commonly known as Drum Tower. According to historical records, Shunjiang Tower was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and went through the Ming, Qing, Wanli, Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing years.
They were all destroyed and rebuilt until they were burned down by a mentally ill patient in the early morning of February 25, 1984. They were immediately restored to their original appearance in the Ming Dynasty and completed at the end of the year. It was also an ill-fated Drum Tower. Next to Shunjiang Tower is Tongji Bridge. Tongji Bridge is the oldest existing ancient bridge in Yuyao. It was originally a wooden bridge built in the Northern Song Dynasty and was named Dehui Bridge. Like Shunjiang Tower, it has been destroyed many times. The bridge was built and the current bridge was rebuilt during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that there is no shortage of stones in the south and it should have been built with stones long ago. The wooden bridge can last for several years in the humid weather in the south. Tongji Bridge and Shunjiang Tower form a combination of "Changhong soaring into the sky and flying pavilions ballasting".
