I am familiar with the ancient town with few charms ~ 1. Shanghai | Xinchang Ancient Town
Actually, when it comes to the ancient town in Shanghai, Zhujiajiao and Nanxiang are generally known, and Xinchang Ancient Town is not well-known. However, Goose is the location chosen by many big directors, such as Lust, Caution directed by Ang Lee, Happiness within reach starring Johnny and Dilraba, and
I found a weekend with particularly good weather. I came to Xinchang ancient town to punch in the shooting location, specially invited friends who grew up in Xinchang to be guides, and by the way, I would like to have a good taste of the ancient town's food!
Actually, this is my second visit to a new field. I came here once last winter, and I especially like the fireworks here. A main road is no different from most ancient towns, but there are many clean alleys here where you can experience the most primitive feeling of the ancient town. Apart from the main road, it is like a lively ancient town, not just a scenic spot.
The ancient town takes Hongfu Bridge as the dividing point, with Hongxi Street on one side and Hongdong Street on the other (the location of 3 years ago). Cross the bridge and go straight to Sanshi Erpin Square, which is the location of Lust Caution. Johnny and Dilraba are very much in love, which was shot on Hongfu Bridge. Food recommendation:
The first echelon: Wuji Mutton Restaurant, Wangji Begonia Cake, paella with stickleback fish, Zhangji Chicken Soup and Tofu Flower with Bamboo Branches, Jiangsan Stinky Tofu, Shunrong steamed dumplings, Hongfulou
The second echelon: Dongcang Tangbao Store, Mama Chen's Store, Xiatang Hotel, Guzhen Old Shop, Xiasha Bamboo Shoots and Meat steamed dumplings (opposite Wangji Begonia Cake), and Ah. The second echelon is mostly for some newly opened shops.
Take the subway to the new station (Line 16) in the urban area, exit 2, and transfer to the bus Xinlu Line (the fastest) or No.168 to reach the entrance of Guzhen (the name of the bus station is the new station).
You can also take a taxi directly from Xinchang subway station to Guzhen, and the taxi fare is about 2 yuan (1 minutes).
Opening hours: It is open all day. Free punch-in suggestion
There are few indoor venues in the new summer resort, mainly some restaurants and cafes. It is recommended to come and stay in the afternoon and leave in the evening. Half a day is enough, otherwise it will be unbearable at noon.
If you want an alley with few people, you can avoid the main road, especially when you walk in the direction of Nanshan Ancient Temple, and there will be fewer and fewer tourists. Second, Shanghai | Luodian Ancient Town
The unpopular ancient town directly reached by Shanghai subway is like walking into ink painting.
luodian, located in Baoshan district, north of Shanghai, is a small-scale ancient town with well-preserved historical features, few tourists, light business atmosphere and a quiet look.
a small river passes through the ancient town, and the buildings are arranged in sequence along the river, which is simple.
the ancient town of luodian was built between the yuan dynasty and zhengnian, and has a history of more than 6 years. As early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Luodian was civilized far and near, and became a large commercial town with rich products and prosperous trade. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the trade of cotton and cotton cloth was booming, so it was called "Jinluo Store". Since ancient times, the land and water transportation here has been developed and the economy has been prosperous. Even now, you can still find the marks of the past glory on the road of the ancient town. Luodian Ancient Town Gourmet Noodles Edge Snack (Tingqian Street Branch)
It's a very special small shop, with no flavor to say. It mainly serves noodles, porridge and some small stir-fry dishes. The environment is great and there is a small garden by the river. I like the shredded eel noodles, large intestine noodles and fish porridge here. Auntie Wu's Special Snack in Luodian (Tingqian Street Branch)
Shanghai's best grass cake, many people will come here specially to buy some to take home. Baoshan Temple, a scenic spot near Luodian Ancient Town
Is this the most scenic spot in Baoshan? The scenic spot? It's really magnificent. It's a special photo shoot. Remember to bring cash for tickets to 1 yuan. There is also Su Zhai 1 yuan who can experience it. Huashentang
a Chinese-style building with brick and wood structure, with ponds, pavilions, fences and ginkgo trees. It wasn't open when I went, but it was near the ancient town of Luodian, so I could walk over and try my luck. Meilan lake
architecture has a Nordic style. There are people fishing, jogging and walking by the lake. It is a very relaxing place, and the sunset in the evening is full of surprises.
Luodian ancient town is a very small place, and its scale is far from Zhujiajiao ancient town. Lower your expectations, you may be disappointed if you have a strong punching mentality; If you just come to experience the old days in Jiangnan and find a quiet place to sit, it's worth it. I often want to take the subway to walk here, watch the carefree play of local children, order a bowl of scallion noodles and sit by the river to pass the time. Luodian Ancient Town (open 24 hours)
Transportation: It is 1.5km away from meilan lake, the terminal of Metro Line 7, and the transportation is very convenient. Third, Suzhou | Luzhi Ancient Town
Listening to the name, it feels like a very small ancient town. In fact, there are many people in Luzhi holiday, because many people around will come here to play and forage. If you don't want to be crowded, you can get up early to feel the morning of Luzhi ancient town, which is also the most authentic and beautiful time for Luzhi.
the next day, I got up at dawn, and I was surprised to get a quiet ancient town without tourists and vendors shouting. This is what a water town in the south of the Yangtze River should look like.
The hotel is ten minutes away from the ancient town. Walking on the road in the morning sun, I feel the air is fresh. A glimpse of the ancient town on the other side of the river seems to have not yet awakened, and it is filled with dense fog. I can't help but speed up my steps and want to see the dawn here quickly.
Water towns in the south of the Yangtze River can't live without small rivers. Sanitation workers have started to clean up the rivers in the early morning, preparing for a new wave of tourists. I think the holidays must be their busiest time.
There are also many aborigines in the water town. They have lived here for generations and lived in paintings. In the morning, they all went out for activities. Residents of this ancient town, the time line is particularly interesting. At 6 o'clock in the morning, many barber shops have started to work, and I met many local people who were having breakfast at the door. They all looked very kind and welcomed me to take pictures of them. How happy it is to watch the sunrise rise and usher in a new day on the quiet slate path and the gurgling river. Iv. Suqian | Zaohe Ancient Town
Zaohe Ancient Town is about 2 kilometers away from Suqian City. It gradually took shape in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. It is an ancient water town with a history of nearly 4 years.
Although the ancient town has been torn apart, there are a lot of cultural relics, sites and legends, such as Longwang Temple Palace and Suqian Chenjia Courtyard? , Zaohe God of Wealth Temple, Heshan Hall and other Ming and Qing buildings. Dry Longgong Crisp and Zhao Jiasan Soup are all delicious foods originated here.
regarding the ancient town of Zaohe, I strongly recommend watching this program hosted by Li Jian: the town story "The Town Story", the ancient town of Zaohe in northern Jiangsu.
This place is very suitable for nostalgia. If I have to choose the most memorable cultural and historical scenic spot in Suqian, it must be the Longwang Temple Palace here.
The original name here is "Building the Longwang Temple in An Lan", which was built by the emperors in Qing Dynasty to pray for the Longwang "An Lan to stop the wave and eliminate the flood" to prevent the flood.
The buildings here were built in the Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty, rebuilt in the 23rd year of Kangxi, and restored and expanded by Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing before they became what they are now.
Among them, Emperor Qianlong went to Jiangnan six times and stayed here five times, so it is also called "Qianlong Palace". About Palace
Palace refers to the palace where the ancient emperors lived when they traveled. There are countless palaces along the south of the Yangtze River under Qianlong. The well-known ones are Suzhou Lingyan Temple, Yangzhou Shuizhuju Temple, Jiangning Linggu Temple and Huai 'an Qinghe Huiji Temple.
And this is the highest-specification, largest-scale, best-preserved and most valuable ancient palace-style building complex in the north of Qing Dynasty in Qianlong Palace, which is magnificent.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt deja vu. This place is simply an "unmanned version" of the Forbidden City! Only after collecting information did I know that it was really called the "Little Forbidden City". It is said that four emperors, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, visited here.
Longwang Temple Palace was built on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Its unique geographical location made it popular with emperors who visited southern China. It was also listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO in 214, and every brick and tile was full of historical traces. Practical information
