Shaowu Peace Ancient Town
If you go to Fujian and have time, you can visit Peace Ancient Town.
Peace Ancient Town is a rare "castle-style ancient town" with a history of more than 4,000 years.
There are more than 300 ancient Ming and Qing dynasty residences here, which have produced 2 prime ministers, 6 ministers, and 137 scholars; the Nuo dance here is known as the "living fossil" of Han Chinese dance; the local specialties such as pig-slaughtering dishes, tofu feast, and Baozi are considered to be unparalleled.
Currently, there is no commercial pollution, and everything remains as it was a thousand years ago.
ExpeditionExplorers
Visiting the Heping Ancient Town again, I had a different experience
1⃣️ Admission is now charged, 40 yuan per person, locals half price at 20 yuan, and the ticket includes a play, access to venues inside, which is quite nice.
2⃣️ The intangible heritage Youjiang tofu is really delicious, 2 yuan per piece, simple and tasty.
3⃣️ There are many more paid activities in the ancient town, such as paying 3 yuan to go up to a rooftop to take a panoramic view of the ancient town, which I don't really like.
