Dreaming of a Thousand Years - Zhujiajiao

🎥 Zhujiajiao Ancient Town -- It was first built in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and became an important commercial hub in the south of the Yangtze River during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It retains a large number of Ming and Qing architecture and traditional features. Its core area is surrounded by the ancient Grand Canal, Dianshan Lake and other water systems, forming a unique Jiangnan water town pattern.. It has the typical Jiangnan water town landscape of "small bridges, flowing water, and ancient alleys", such as the Fangsheng Bridge (the largest five-arch stone arch ancient bridge in East China), the Qing Post Office, Yuanjin Zen Temple, City God Temple, Hexin Garden, Kezhi Garden and other historical buildings. In 1991, it was named one of the "Four Famous Cultural Towns" by Shanghai. In 2017, it was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, covering intangible cultural heritage such as traditional crafts and folk customs.

We chose to check in on the way back because we wanted to return to the original bus stop.. 2) If you don’t buy tickets to additional attractions, you can also visit them at will. I made this guide purely because I didn't want to repeat myself, so I optimized some of the plans.. However, it is not possible to not walk at all. In some places, you can only go back and forth to cross the bridge. However, since the scenery along the way in the ancient town is very soft and pleasant, it feels very romantic to walk there a few times~ Parts I don't understand: 1) The old site of the Qing Dynasty Post Office has now become a place to sell cultural and creative products. Bulk stamps, said to be used for ordinary letters and postcards, but 80 cents stamps are sold for 5 RMB.. I only realized after I paid that the stamp was only worth 80 cents. I felt cheated. 2) "Orange is hot" opposite Jiangnan No. 1 Tea House is a store that sells dried fruits.. They said they wanted half a pound of different types of dried fruits, but they ended up grabbing a lot of each type, and when they weighed it, they didn't tell me that it was over the amount.. Before my mom could hear clearly, the money was deducted from Alipay.. But luckily, I came later. I found something wrong and told him.. The clerk reluctantly took out some and refunded the corresponding amount.. But, this back and forth... the impression is bad... I feel like I want to become a 5A scenic spot as soon as possible. We need to stop businesses from doing this, which makes consumers feel like they are being "cheated". As for the hygiene and service of the scenic spot, I think it is quite good.
