Fengjing Ancient Town|A 1500-Year-Old Secret Realm of Wine Aroma at the Shanghai-Zhejiang Border, an Immersive Check-in for Living Jiangnan Culture

In the gentle water town at the Shanghai-Zhejiang border lies an ancient town slightly intoxicated by time. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only the flowing water veins of 1500 years singing Wu dialect tunes, 300 ancient bridges telling stories of time, and 200 yellow wine workshops filling the air with a drunken scent. 【Top 3 Must-Photograph Ancient Bridges】 ❶ Zhihe Bridge from the Yuan Dynasty (1328) Wild creepers grow in the stone cracks, purple fruits hang like wind chimes. Best shot: reflection in the bridge arch at dusk, capture the moment when the black-awning boat passes by. ❷ Zhongshi Bridge (Qing Qianlong period) Moss on the bridge surface records the marks of time. Worth waking up early to hear the "Three Oar Songs" at 6:30 in the old teahouse. ❸ South Corridor Bridge The night view is stunning, lanterns reflected like a galaxy. 【Yellow Wine Experience Trilogy】 6:00 AM "Awakening the Street" Ceremony Watch the master splash the first batch of wine mash, the aroma awakens the entire ancient town’s morning. 12:00 PM Top Scholar Red Old Cellar Touch the wine jar engraved with the Guangxu era mark, scan the code to see winemaking notes from a hundred years ago. 5:00 PM "Warming Wine" Street Selling Copper pots pour amber-colored wine, paired perfectly with grandma’s freshly cooked sweet taro—delicious! 【Photo Spots】 ► Zhihe Bridge’s 7-level steps Macro shots of shoe prints/moss/wine stains overlapping time. ► Wine Inducer Square Low-angle shots capturing the colorful reflections of wine splashing. ► Under the Symbiotic Ginkgo Tree A healing scene of golden autumn leaves covering the bluestone path. 📍Practical Information Transportation: Shanghai Metro Line 22 to Jinshanwei Station → Jinshan Railway Fengjing Station (5-minute walk) Recommended times: 6:30-8:00 Morning mist at Zhihe Bridge 16:00-18:00 Wine warming time at the workshops Admission: Core area free (some exhibitions charge fees) Hidden Activities: 1️⃣ Scan the code to claim a "Time Wine Jar" and write a message 2️⃣ Learn traditional fermented black bean making from the sauce garden master 3️⃣ Collect "Wen" (warm) wine signs from different workshops The most touching thing about this ancient town is not the still scenery, but— when you walk across Zhihe Bridge, see the white-haired grandma and the girl revising her PPT sharing a bowl of sweet taro, you suddenly realize: the soul of Jiangnan has always been gently fermenting in time.
