Although it is a newly built ancient town, it can be seen that it is very thoughtful, the area is large, and the photos are also very good. Although the ticket price is half, the number of tourists is not too much, and you can still find many places where no one takes pictures. The play experience is good.
A friend introduced that it was very convenient to drive from Shanghai to the ancient town of Yiyuan. It was very convenient to eat and live in the ancient town. The overall feeling was very good. The scale of the ancient town was quite large. It was also very convenient for our elderly to take a battery car to visit, and the driver service was in place.
It is still worth checking in. Maybe because of the epidemic, the popularity is not strong and the business atmosphere is not strong. On the contrary, there is a difference in Wuzhen. If you like the quiet ancient town style, you can come here.
The ancient town of Yiyuan Fashion is mainly based on the architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty. Entering the ancient town, looking at the stone bridge reflection water bank stone steps, pavilions and pavilions are scaled up, the curved path of the carved beam corridor is quiet, the century-old ginkgo trees are still upright, and the alleys of the houses can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. The buildings, corridors, tiles and tiles in the ancient town of the hospital are in scale and beautifully carved, just like a painting of Jiangnan ink. The houses, temples, streets and alleys are all dipped in ink, and they are suitable for thick and light, giving birth to many poetic ideas. The ancient town of Yiyuan is three times larger than Wuzhen. It is indeed so. The ancient town has beautiful scenery and one step at a time. The main thing is that there are fewer people. Slowly strolling and taking pictures. The overall satisfaction is that the ancient town has less business and more places to eat. It is better, I hope it will get better and better in the future, and I have the opportunity to visit again.
2023.12.26 The ancient town of Yuanyuan has the famous eight scenes of Xichuan : Fushan Cui Leng , Xiangyun Gao , Makeup Building , Meilong Flower Dance , Lotus Tang Evening Wind , Huatan Feng Leng , Youhu Moon Full , Xiyuan Wingxia , each scene has a beautiful legend. Develop and build the fashionable ancient town of the hospital by Wuzhen Chen Xianghong team to create and design, adhering to the concept of "repairing the old as the old, to save its truth", a number of buildings with the historical characteristics of the hospital to repair the old as the old, to protect the streets, ancient bridges, ancient trees, ancient houses and other historical relics in the town to the greatest extent. After 9 years of protection and development, the fashionable ancient town of the hospital has recreated the Jiangnan cultural history of the hospital for nearly 900 years. The ancient town has invested 21 billion yuan, and by the end of March 2023, the investment has been completed in a total of billion yuan, and the completion area is more than 650,000 square meters. Yuyuan Fashion Ancient Town relies on the resources, cultural resources and industrial resources of the ancient town of water town, taking "China Fashion Ancient Town" as the overall positioning, making full use of the characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town, beautiful pastoral and sweater towns, to create a collection of sightseeing, leisure vacation, business exhibitions, A resort with a combination of tourism and fashion culture is a comprehensive leisure international tourist resort with high service and facilities, participatory, experiential and ornamental.
The scenic spot is indeed relatively large, clean and tidy, and the instructions are clear. There are many interactive activities for performances, but there are many areas to be developed, and the occupancy rate of merchants and micro-attractions is low. The parking lot is large, parking is very convenient, and the price is right and not pitted. The cruise scenery is good, it is recommended to take a boat at night, and the fun is good.
There are not many people, the commercialization of the scenic spot is not serious, it is very suitable for taking pictures and is very beautiful. It is more comfortable than other ancient towns. It is recommended to buy a rowing ticket, so you can save 12 yuan. We just didn't buy a connecting ticket and wanted to take a boat. In addition, the route to the door to take the boat is relatively long, it is recommended to take the boat when you enter the door, and then go shopping.
Opened the ancient town of Yuyuan on the weekend, and the scenery is very beautiful. But many of the newly developed ancient towns are unmanned, there are few places to eat, and there are almost no shops selling souvenirs. It lacks popularity, but it is also very good, isn't it? Not so polluted, the river is green and green, and the black swan is not afraid of people. There are also some performances in the scenic area, including line puppetry, guzheng performance, three jumps, etc.
