30 knowledge points you need to know if you prefer ancient towns.

I prefer the ancient town, walking on the bluestone road, submerged in the white walls and gray tiles, there is always a sense of belonging.

Hum a folk song and step into the long years. Human fireworks are like dreams, but they never feel sad.

I think everyone has a feeling of ancient town in their hearts, with flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River and people in smoke cages. ...

In the city, whether you like it or not, you should wear a mask and greet all kinds of people every day.

But sometimes, we really need a person to be quiet and away from the noise. The ancient town is such a pure land.

But of all the ancient towns, which one is not so beautiful? Which style is unique? What's the difference between the four seasons?

About the ancient town, this time I sorted out 30 passing knowledge points (take it away, no thanks ~)

0 1

Jiangnan towns are exquisite and dexterous, Huizhou villages are misty and rainy, Hunan and Guizhou villages are exquisite and graceful, and the ancient towns in the north are rich in atmosphere.

From south to north, every ancient town is a dream that you never dreamed of in your last life.

02

Six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Jasper Zhouzhuang, Land of Abundance Tongli, Straight Style, Xitang, Li Meng, Wuzhen, Shui Ge and Nanxun, Fu Jia.

Jiangnan in rainy season, the ancient town has a unique charm, a poetic Jiangnan.

03

If I only recommend one, I will choose Nanxun, because I like these two words, which are full of poetry.

Nanxun is the quietest of the six ancient towns, and there is almost no commercial atmosphere here. You can go in at night without buying a ticket, live in a hundred buildings and feel the most simple folk customs.

04

Wuzhen must go, although the development is relatively mature, but Wuzhen really has the feeling of small bridges and flowing water.

In Wuzhen, try to live in Zhaxi, push the night view here, get up at five or six in the morning, go out for a walk, there are almost no tourists, take pictures, and then go back to sleep.

If you can, you must go to Wuzhen on a snowy day, listen to the sound of snowflakes falling, and watch them float on the black tiles of the eaves. A pot of wine is warm and a boat is drunk, and the whole body is covered with snowflakes.

05

I have been to Xitang twice, once to see cherry blossoms in spring, and once to Hanfu Week in June+10, 5438. Tickets are free after five o'clock in Xitang, and you can buy discount tickets from the innkeeper during the day.

There is Hanfu Culture Week in Xitang every year at the end of 10. If you like Hanfu, you can choose to come here at this time, and you will really feel like crossing.

06

Suzhou alone accounts for three of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, namely Tongli, Luzhi and Zhouzhuang.

There are many rivers and bridges, enjoying the reputation of Jiangnan Bridge Capital. The ancient town is more authentic than the other two. Tongli scenic spots are still good, with relatively few tourists, and the retreat garden in the ancient town is still a world cultural heritage; Zhouzhuang is the first of the six ancient towns to be developed and the first water town in the world, which is relatively commercialized.

07

Suzhou ancient town, personally prefer Jinxi ancient town, some people say that she is the last Jiangnan water town in Suzhou.

The streets and rivers in the ancient town are narrower than those in other ancient towns, which is suitable for a person to walk slowly. Take the Wupeng boat and listen to the bamboo silk in the south of the Yangtze River. There are performances by the Dragon Dance Team and the Lion Dance Team in the square.

In midsummer, the Tang Ling Bay next to the Ten Eyes Bridge is full of lotus leaves and goes straight into the sky. The lotus leaf described by the poet is infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers in the sun are of different colors. That's all.

08

In fact, there are many ancient towns in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, which are worthy of the name. Jiangnan has a unique book fragrance and richness, which is a rare undeveloped and clean place.

From Baicaoyuan to San Tan Yin Yue, from Lu Xun's former residence to the memorial hall, Shaoxing also has Shen Yuan, Cangqiao Zhijie, Anchang Ancient Town and the hometown of yellow rice wine. ...

09

Because my friend is from Shengzhou, I also have a different affection for Shengzhou.

Chongzhen Ancient Town in Shengzhou is a national protection object. The houses in the town look a little shabby, but this is the original appearance of the ancient town. There are fewer tourists, which is very suitable for a weekend day.

10

Before going to Shanghai, I will never associate the ancient town with the magic capital.

Zhujiajiao, hidden in a corner of the western suburbs of Shanghai, has a long history and rich tourism resources, and is known as the Pearl of the South of the Yangtze River.

A typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with criss-crossing waterways between streets and lanes, is an integrated building in Ming and Qing Dynasties, full of ancient charm.

1 1

It is no exaggeration to say that Wuyuan is displaying the most beautiful countryside in China with moving pictures all year round.

The horsehead wall covered with faint smoke, the abstract lines of terraced fields in the mountains, and the village children riding on the backs of cattle in the twilight, Wuyuan is a wonderful landscape painting.

12

Hongcun is the kind of place where you will be very satisfied with your life once you have been there. I like the night here, a few fireworks, the lights in the deep alley, the gentle night wind with flowers.

I found it unnecessary to play a lot with the group. I'm just walking around and having fun. Finally found a homestay, sitting on the terrace with strange friends, playing cards, chatting with stars and talking about life.

13

The ancient city of Fenghuang is famous for Shen Congwen's book Border Town, which quietly attracts tourists from all over the world, from silence to glitz.

The night view of the ancient city is beautiful. There are many tourists at night. You don't need to sign up for any bonfire party or Miao village tour. This is not very interesting. Just stroll around the ancient city and feel the scenery at night.

14

An international friend named rewi alley, a New Zealander, traveled all over China when he was young. He once said: China has two most beautiful towns, one is Fenghuang in Hunan and the other is Changting in Fujian.

Phoenix and Changting still recommend going to Changting. The most unforgettable thing in Changting is the ancient city wall built in the Tang Dynasty. The tower during the day reveals the ancient vicissitudes of life, and the lights are brightly lit at night. The wall of the red lantern has become an eternal classic.

15

The commercialization of Fenghuang ancient city is still very heavy. Besides Phoenix, there are furong town, Chadong in Border Town, Liye Ancient Town and Pushi Ancient Town in Xiangxi.

Tea Cave is a real border town written by Shen Congwen, which is much quieter than the ancient city of Fenghuang, with simple folk customs and beautiful scenery.

Furong town is also known as the ancient town hanging waterfalls with surging waterfalls, Tujia diaojiao building, and the natural scenery is integrated with the quaint ethnic customs.

16

To tell the truth, the ancient town in Guizhou gave me many surprises, especially Zhenyuan.

The ancient town is surrounded by mountains, and the river runs through the city in an "S" shape. Mountain, water and city are integrated, and it is praised as Venice of the East by Chinese and foreign tourists.

The town's blue bricks and green tiles, upturned cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, and moss and slate all show visitors the charm of a thousand-year-old town.

17

Thousands of Miao villages in Xijiang, Miao villages in Wudong, and Dong villages in Zhaoxing ... The Miao villages and Dong villages in Guizhou, which are not particularly recommended, are worth a visit in short, with simple and natural national characteristics and great flavor.

18

Someone once described the ancient town of Huangyao as a thousand-year-old collection of poems, which was forgotten on the secluded shelves of the library. When people inadvertently walked by and opened this beautiful chapter, the simple and elegant style immediately conquered people's hearts.

All-in-one blue bricks and green tiles, ancient houses in streets and lanes, almost exquisite banyan trees and various lanterns make the whole ancient town show the legacy of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

19

If you want to see the Lijiang River landscape, I suggest going directly to Xingping Ancient Town. The ancient town is quiet and extraordinary, like a gentle and beautiful woman.

Perhaps it is because it is too quiet and inconspicuous, so the business atmosphere is not strong, but it is more intimate when it comes closer.

The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery, long ancient streets and deep alleys, full of Jiangnan water town flavor. Climb up the old village to see the Lijiang River. The combination of mountains and water is really spectacular!

20

If you mention a place named after a film and television drama, many people's first reaction is-the rhyme. Every time I read these three words, I feel that they should be unfinished poems on rice paper.

According to rhyme, this small village is a half-stream and half-earth building, as well as a thousand-year-old banyan tree, a hundred-year-old street and a thousand-year-old road. Most of the villages are ancient roads and old streets that have experienced vicissitudes. Every step you take, you see the simplest scenery.

Standing between clouds and water here, the world is noisy, but the songs of clouds and water are quiet.

2 1

To Lijiang, you must go to Shuhe Ancient Town. If you have never been to Shuhe, then you have never been to Lijiang. Compared with Old Town of Lijiang, Shuhe Ancient Town is quieter.

Find a coffee shop by the river in the ancient town, listen to live music, eat snacks and be in a daze; Stay in a special inn, watch the sunrise in the morning, welcome the sunset, stroll the streets in your spare time and feel the flowers and trees.

To go to Shuhe ancient town, you must buy regular tickets, otherwise you will be easily cheated. Don't believe what the roadside soliciting people say.

22

Between Dali and Lijiang, Shaxi ancient town on the ancient tea-horse road can't be missed. There are the most exquisite Bai architecture and a relatively complete ancient market here.

Stroll through the ancient street, board the ancient stage, see the pavements and horse shops in Sifang Street, walk on Yujin Bridge, listen to Shaxi girl sing a Bai folk song, and taste local specialties, such as ginseng seeds, pine mushrooms and goat milk cakes.

Pay attention to respecting the living customs of Shaxi ethnic minorities.

23

If you think Lijiang and Dali are too noisy, then you can go to Heshun Ancient Town in Tengchong.

Heshun is a century-old village deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture on the Southwest Silk Road, with beautiful scenery and picturesque countryside. Ancestral temples, archways, platforms, pavilions, arch bridges, stone fences and lotus ponds can be seen everywhere.

24

If you prefer Tibetan customs in snowy areas, you can go to Dukezong Ancient Town in Shangri-La, Yunnan, which is the most complete and largest Tibetan residential group in China.

Different from Lijiang town, it is full of Tibetan people's unique roughness and Tibetan customs. In the morning, I listen to the Sanskrit of the temple, turn the world's largest prayer wheel, and fall asleep in Shangri-La at night.

25

Ciqikou ancient town, Chongqing, if you want to visit Chongqing, you can go sightseeing. Generally speaking, there are many kinds of snacks. A bowl of the most authentic crispy spicy oil tea, or a small dumpling. Take a sip while it's hot. It smells like Chongqing between your lips and teeth.

There are still many people in the town during the day, and the alley is narrow and difficult to walk. The porcelain mouth is very clean in the morning, so you can go as you like.

26

Compared with the elegance of Jiangnan ancient town, Shangli ancient town in Sichuan has a sense of historical vicissitudes and is more idyllic.

The winding bluestone road seems to be telling the past for thousands of years. When you stop and go, a beautiful sculpture appears in front of your eyes inadvertently.

27

If you are in Beijing and have never been to the desirable Wuzhen, then I suggest you go to the low-key Gubei water town, another Jiangnan hidden deep in Beijing.

At present, the planning of the scenic spot is quite perfect, the houses are elegant, the river is clear and the stone bridge is flowing, which is quite a bit of Jiangnan flavor and charm. Although it is an imitation, when you walk in, you immediately feel like crossing the south of the Yangtze River.

It is recommended to live in a scenic spot, which is more convenient than outside the scenic spot. Generally, tickets and sightseeing tickets will be given when booking accommodation.

28

If you want to feel the quadrangles in the north, you can go to Pingyao ancient city, which is completely different from the charm of Jiangnan water town. The yellow sand all over the sky can't cover up the peerless elegance of the small town.

It is not recommended to buy a pass, you can walk around at will. The homestay in the ancient city is still good. West Street and North Street are the main tourist roads, which will be a little noisy. Remember to watch the live drama Goodbye Pingyao in the evening.

29

If you ask me, which is the most unforgettable ancient town? I think it must be Kashgar, a small town in Xinjiang.

Walking into the old city of Kashgar will give you a feeling of going back in time to the Middle Ages. The color of nostalgia is too pure, and only khaki is left in the old city. An alley, a wall, a door and a window tell the past years and ancient legends.

Local residents wear national costumes and speak fluent Uighur, which makes you feel like you are in a foreign country.

30

Going to the ancient town, you don't have to travel with a group. You can walk around alone with headphones and a map of the ancient town, and there are unexpected surprises everywhere. If you are with friends, remember to take more pictures of each other.

If you have time, you must stay in the ancient town for one or two nights and go out for a walk at night. You will find that your heart has never been quiet.

In fact, I also know that the ancient towns are all the same, but every ancient town seems to have an indescribable attraction to me, and each one has different surprises and touches.

When you are in an ancient town, infected by the slow life there, you gain not only feelings, but also a leisurely lifestyle.

Wake up in the mist in the morning, walk leisurely in the alley, and catch a glimpse of the figure stretched by the sunset in the evening. It was a long-awaited time.

I wonder if we are the same? Don't like neon lights, don't like traffic. Just like a small place, I just want to be in a daze in a small town, watching time like jade, tepid.
