Most of the existing ancient streets in Flatiron Ancient Town are buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most distinctive one is the stilted building that "gives up three feet of land and takes up an extra share of the sky."
The origin of the name of the ancient town of Flatiron is very interesting. There is a saying that it was renamed Flatiron Town because its terrain resembles the irons used for sewing in the old days.
Another theory is that in the 23rd year of Daoguang, there was a sudden flood. Feng Shui master said that because water and fire are incompatible, if you want to control the flood, you must use fire to suppress it.
The iron is a fire object, and the hot iron is undoubtedly a thing that can avoid water and repel water in people's minds, so the name of the town was changed to Flatiron Town.
