Changsha·Jinggang Ancient Town | The only Chinese historical and cultural famous town in Changsha

The only Chinese historical and cultural famous town in Changsha, the simple, local, and lively era of Jinggang 1.0 has become history, and its 2.0 'metamorphosis' is underway. As a tourist and a new resident of Wangcheng, I sincerely hope that Jinggang Ancient Town can truly reflect its 'ancient' character, truly possess historical and cultural charm, and truly feature the uniqueness of Wangcheng. Personally, I feel that the 2.0 version is just a commercial transformation under capital operation, similar to the fate of most ancient towns. Yiwu goods, industrial products have entered the scene, and of course, some shadow puppetry, Xiang embroidery, and other Hunanese cultural elements have also made their way in. The transformation is still ongoing, and I look forward to the 2.0 version. PS: The fish from Jinggang is very famous, and it indeed tastes good, but food safety should also be taken seriously. I bought two cans of fish, and after keeping them in the refrigerator for 2 days, when I opened them, they had grown white 'little cuties'. It's probably because there aren't many tourists, and a bowl of fish takes a long time to sell. I suggest that everyone buys less rather than more, just buy a little to try the taste and satisfy the craving. The ancient town is right next to the Xiang River, and after visiting, you must go to the riverside to enjoy the breeze. It's really comfortable~ 🌍Location coordinates: Jinggang Ancient Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha City, Hunan Province 🕔Opening hours: 24 hours (shops close gradually after 6:00, so go early~) 🚌How to get there: Take a taxi or drive yourself 👍Recommended fun: Watch the sunset over the ancient town by the lake, enjoy the breeze of the Xiang River 💰Ticket price: Currently free
