Rated as the most beautiful ancient town by National Geographic, I regret only discovering it now

There are many beautiful ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, Xitang, Wuzhen, Shaoxing, Nanxun ancient towns, but they are all too crowded. This time, in Jiangshan, Quzhou, I found a very special and niche ancient town, the Twenty-Eight Town. Located at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces, its architecture blends styles from different regions, with Quanzhou's Minnan characteristic orange-yellow bricks and tiles, and the walls of Huizhou-style architecture. The buildings are densely packed, and wandering among them feels very interesting. As a 5A tourist attraction, it is very low-key, and the place is full of the New Year atmosphere during the Spring Festival. If you don't want to be in a crowded place, you can come here with your family for a visit. On the first day, go straight to the Twenty-Eight Town. Self-driving is really convenient; the ancient town is right off the highway. Let me share some of the Spring Festival activities here. 1. Year of the Dragon Art Exhibition The intangible heritage bamboo-woven dragon installation is already being set up. The local elders are diligently weaving the dragon shapes, all of which are exquisite. The exhibitions are located at Wenchang Palace, Zhupo Bridge, Dongsheng Bridge, and the small square of the foreign goods store. 2. New Year Garden Event Immerse yourself in the ancient Twenty-Eight Town, with Song Dynasty vendors hawking along the streets, ready for a photo op at any moment, and a traditional New Year market showcasing local specialty foods and various interesting handicrafts. 3. New Year Concert During the Spring Festival, big stars will drop in, like Gao Shengmei and Nan Quan Mama, all part of my youth memories. Who didn't listen to 'Orange Soda' and 'Rainy Day' when they were young? On the second day, you can go to Jianglang Mountain, also a 5A scenic spot, with scenery that I think is no less impressive than Huangshan, and a great experience. If you come here during the Spring Festival, not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but you can also check in at the One-Line Sky Fortune Path, which is a hundred-meter-long fortune path created by the young artist Qin Xinyuan, combining the One-Line Sky attraction of Jianglang Mountain. Climbing up the steps, you rise higher with each step, and it's predicted to be a popular spot during the Spring Festival. Of course, there are other great places in Jiangshan: 1. Qingyang Scenic Area With its ancient charm, it has produced 8 Shangshu (high officials) and 83 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in history, making it a famous cultural village. 2. Fugai Mountain A mountain spanning three provinces, with unique landforms and shapes, the main peak is 1146.4 meters high, with various tunnels through the mountain, quite adventurous. 3. Xianxia Pass The place is not large, but it is rich in historical heritage. Those who like history can come and see it. It is one of China's four ancient passes, along with Jianmen Pass, Hangu Pass, and Yanmen Pass.
