Buddhist temple ancient town tourist attractions

The ancient Buddhist temple town itself is a tourist attraction.

Fotang ancient town is located in the southwest of Yiwu. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, countless ships have come and gone on the river, and the pontoon pier of the Buddhist temple is the most important stop. Today's ancient town has long been lonely, but you can still see its once prosperous traces in those dazzling arches, windows and brick carvings.

As a scenic spot, Fotang Ancient Town is still under development, and there is no charge. Streets and alleys have almost no commercial significance. Simple living of local people in deep alleys is rare elsewhere.

When you wander in the depths of the alley, you will find more beautiful old buildings hidden in casual corners, and the photos taken are quite charming. In the Brown Sugar Culture and Art Museum in Laojie, you can also see the brown sugar sculptures made by Buddhist temples with ancient methods, which are very vivid.

Nearly 2 kilometers old street is the soul of the ancient town. Zhi Street, Chamber of Commerce Street, Yanbutou Cross Street, Fuqiaotou Cross Street and East-West Side Street constitute the core part of the ancient town. Since Buddhist temples have been commercial ports since ancient times, there are still many shops along the street today, and the pattern of storefronts downstairs and houses upstairs remains. Old wooden doors and low counters can be seen everywhere, and old-fashioned businesses such as ruitai Xiang and Shouchuntang can be seen everywhere.

It also gives people the illusion of going back in time. Xinhua Theater in Laojie is still the most distinctive cultural landmark of Buddhist temples. The theatre is filled with square tables and chairs that were common in the 1980s, and local operas are often staged. If you encounter it, you might as well enjoy it with the villagers who came from nearby villages to watch the play.
