Under the morning sunlight, Zhuji Alley is so pure and so transparent

🌟 Zhuji Ancient Alley: A time tunnel carrying a thousand years of immigrant memories! 📜 The Past and Present of Zhuji Zhuji Ancient Alley is located in Nanxiong, Guangdong. It was built during the Tang and Song dynasties and became an important post station for ancient Central Plains immigrants migrating south due to its location at the southern end of the Meiguan Ancient Road. Historically, this place was a bustling area "crowded with people and merchants," carrying the memories of countless family migrations and is known as the "hometown of the Cantonese people." Walking on the cobblestone-paved ancient alley, the mottled walls seem to tell stories from a thousand years ago. 🌅 Zhuji Alley in the Early Morning There is a saying in the photography community: "The early bird catches the worm." I found the best interpretation of this in Zhuji Alley. When the morning light first appears, the water surface is like a mirror, and the ancient alley is reflected on the calm lake. The silhouettes of trees and buildings in the distance form a natural ink painting. At this time, there are few tourists, making it the best moment to capture the charm of Zhuji Ancient Alley. At this moment, Zhuji Alley is so pure and so transparent. Strolling through Zhuji Alley, every step treads on the pulse of history. When the sunlight shines on the yellow walls and gray tiles, time seems to slow down here. Those reflections in the lake hold the joys and sorrows of a thousand years, waiting for attentive travelers to discover.✨
