Yangqiao Village has a single-hole stone arch bridge in the south of the village. The ancient town named "Nanyang Bridge" is compared to the famous town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although its volume and historical and cultural accumulation are not top-notch, the preservation of integrity is its biggest advantage today. Walking in the ancient streets and alleys in the town, the ancient river, ancient bridge, ancient well, The ancient house, even the doors and windows on the ancient house, the corners of the eaves are still beautiful, the ancient charm is full, breathtaking.

Yangqiao, located in Qianhuang Town with a rich cultural heritage resource, began in Song and Yuan before the beginning of Ming Dynasty as a heavy town in Changzhou, Jiangnan Province. The old street is the core of the commercial old street around the ancient Yangqiao Bridge, and the Yangqiao Bin extends to contain the remains and relics of Ming and Qing Dynasties and revolutionary history.

Yangqiao Old Street is currently one of the few ancient towns in Jiangnan that have not been commercialized. One brick and one tile here may have a history of thousands of years, and any tree records a hundred years. The town is now a place for photography. The young people have moved away a long time ago, and there are only some old people left. When I am hanging around, I chat with the villagers from time to time. Although they talk, I don’t understand it very well. But the villagers can let me go home and see, the old bamboo chairs are sitting. The rustic folk customs can be seen in general. My daughter walked to a house and found an ancient well. She couldn't help but wash her face with the well water. She said innocently: I may use the same water as people hundreds of years ago. Will I cross it? ️

The ancient town is named after a single-hole stone arch bridge "Nanyang Bridge" south of Yangqiao Street. It is a typical Jiangnan water town. It is the only thousand-year-old town in the Jiangnan area that has not been fully commercialized, so the original ecology of the ancient town is very well preserved. Yangqiao Ancient Town 100 years ago, merchants gathered and developed trade, gathering many theaters, tea houses, hotels, pawn shops, temples and rich merchants, with rich historical and cultural heritage.

I have done a long time of Raiders, but I didn't expect to encounter unexpected things. The bus to Yangqiao runs every hour. When I arrived at the transfer location, I just missed it. So I walked forward. The road was sparsely populated, so I trot all the way for half an hour and finally arrived. Three hours of rain must be worth it. This ancient village in Jiangnan has not been developed at all, and no tickets are charged. Most of the people living in the village are elderly. The ancient village is relatively well preserved. You can see from the rows of shops that have been retained. In the past, it should be very prosperous, but now it is so lonely, maybe because there is no shortage of water in Jiangnan. The scale here is small, the investment value is not large, and the most primitive face can be lucky to be preserved. Today is a busy leisure, hurry to this tour.
