Ancient Town Tour is a popular way of traveling at present. There are many ancient towns in China, such as Wuzhen and Pingyao. However, with the fiery tourism elements, many ancient towns have been seriously commercialized, which makes many tourists scoff. Tourists in these ancient towns are like clouds and often cheat customers. So, what ancient towns do you think are worth visiting in China? I recommend eight ancient towns near Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

They are Nanxun Town, Tongli Ancient Town, Jinxi Ancient Town, Anchang Ancient Town, Qiantong Ancient Town, Qiantan Ancient Town, Dongsha Ancient Town and Chengkan Ancient Town, which are eight ancient towns with few people and light commercialization.

nanxun town

Compared with other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the flow of people in ancient towns is much less, so there is no need to worry about the "sea of people". In addition, in addition to the scenery of Jiangnan water town, it is also a literary town, which feels like entering Lijiang. Speaking of commercialization here, it can be said that it is very light. It may cost five or six hundred to stay in a hotel in a foreign country, but it can be easily done here as long as three or four hundred. Moreover, although the passenger tricycle in the ancient town is rather pitted, it can save a lot of money to get a car for tourists online.

The ancient town with a history of thousands of years is also an ancient town with few tourists. Wandering in a small town by boat, the comfort of life comes to you instantly. In addition, it is very close to Shanghai, and it takes only one and a half hours to drive, so netizens who want to go to Shanghai can choose to come to this ancient town.

Jinxi town

There are many water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a relatively small ancient town. So the development here is not so serious, and the commercialization is relatively light. There are still primitive residents living in the ancient town, which is the ancient town with the most charm of Jiangnan water town.

The biggest attraction in the ancient town is the museum. Of course, these places need tickets. If you just want to feel the charm of the ancient town, you can choose to take a walk in the street. There are many local specialties for sale on both sides of the street. Of course, it's close to Shanghai. It takes about an hour and a half by car.

Anchang town

The old crafts and folk activities in the ancient town are two major attractions. Old artists sitting by the river in the town are pulling sugar and hoop barrels, showing handicrafts that have now disappeared. Every year in June 5438+ 10, there will be a wind plot here, and various folk activities will be held at this time. In addition, there are ancient buildings in the town, such as the former site of China Bank.

Gantong ancient town

Most of the residents surnamed Tong in the south of the Yangtze River gather here. At present, the town has a complete Ming and Qing architecture, which has become a tourist element now. The whole town has a unique layout, narrow streets and dense buildings, and it is like a maze.

Botan ancient town

There are a lot of Ming and Qing buildings here, which look a little shabby. Buildings such as ancient stage, money house and ancestral hall are hard to see in other ancient towns. Besides, cobblestone streets are rare in China. At present, the town is inhabited by primitive residents, who live in the most primitive state of life, so the degree of commercialization of the town is relatively light.

Dongsha ancient town

The ancient town is built by the sea, and its overall layout is completely different from other ancient towns. There are no small bridges and flowing water in the center of the ancient town, all of which are streets and buildings. The ancient town is near the sea in front and backed by mountains in the back. This is an ancient town surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Chengkan ancient town

The small bridges, lotus ponds and alleys in the ancient town seem like an exquisite garden. Of course, its beauty has not been carved, it is completely natural and casual. The most important thing is that there are few people here, with distinctive traditional characteristics and beautiful scenery. It is a place where you can shoot large movies at your fingertips. If you like to take pictures, you must choose here.

Is the commercialization of ancient towns really unacceptable?

In fact, the commercialization of ancient towns has advantages and disadvantages. Looking at the comparison of ancient towns before and after domestic development, the advantages of commercial ancient towns outweigh the disadvantages. Imagine an "antique" ancient town, not to mention eating, drinking and having fun in the town. Fortunately, after commercialization, visitors can have a glimpse of "fake antiques". In fact, if you pay more attention, it is not difficult to find unpretentious shops and even some ingenious craftsmen.
