Nanxun Ancient Town

Strongly recommend saving this list for a long holiday visit to an ancient town! 1️⃣ Among the many ancient towns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, if I could only visit one during the New Year, it would definitely be Nanxun. This ancient town, only a half-hour drive from Wuzhen, is connected to the residential area, so there are locals living in the town, giving it a lively, authentic atmosphere. In addition to wandering around the bridges and flowing water, there are several Republic of China-era buildings 🏠 worth visiting, such as the Liu's Ladder Shop, Zhang Shiming's Old Residence, and Jiaye Library. It is recommended to drive there; there is a bus from Huzhou High-speed Railway Station, and it's even more convenient from Wuzhen, where you can hitch a ride. 2️⃣ When the scent of Anchang soy sauce duck begins to waft through the air, you know the New Year is here! People from Hangzhou rush to buy cured meat and soy sauce duck, all made with local Anchang soy sauce. This is an ancient town that even the locals from Shaoxing visit. I went there on the third day of last year's New Year, and there were still parking spots nearby. It was lively but not too crowded. It's very close to Hangzhou, friendly for drivers, and can also be reached by subway 🚇 to the Textile City, then transfer to a direct bus. Over the years, it has not become overly commercialized. Sitting in a street-side tea house, watching the black-awning boats slowly pass by, that's the true essence of an ancient town. 3️⃣ The ancient village of Linkeng in Yongjia, Wenzhou, is located in Huangnan Township. It is recommended to drive there. The ancient village with its characteristic southern Zhejiang style and red lanterns hanging everywhere feels like a hidden paradise. Compared to Wuyuan, it's smaller and more exquisite, with more distinctive features. Linkeng was established during the Ming Dynasty as a settlement for the Mao clan and has a history of over 700 years. The architecture is a typical style of the southern Zhejiang mountainous area. 4️⃣ Longmen Ancient Town, about 1 hour from Hangzhou city center, is a lesser-known ancient village famous for being inhabited mostly by descendants of Sun Quan. Due to convenient transportation, many people from Hangzhou visit Longmen Ancient Town on the first day of the New Year to enjoy the town's specialty, pounded rice cake. Longmen Ancient Town is located in Fuyang, and it's very convenient to drive there, only 1 hour. High-speed rail is also 🚄 convenient; from Fuyang Station, you can hitch a ride for about 35 yuan, or there are 🚌 buses that go directly to the ancient town from the station. 5️⃣ Zhouzhuang is connected by ancient bridges and rivers, linking old streets and Ming and Qing dynasty residences. As I stroll through the cobblestone alleys, between the black tiles and white walls, it feels as if time has stood still. Compared to Wuzhen, I prefer the remaining authentic atmosphere here. In the early morning, wander leisurely through the ancient town, feeling the tranquility of the 'small bridges and flowing waters'. Or visit the ancient residences, such as Zhang Hall, Shen Hall, and Shen Sanwan's underwater tomb, all well-preserved Ming and Qing dwellings. If you're tired, you can visit the teahouse once frequented by the writer San Mao. Tell me, which ancient town do you plan to visit this New Year to experience the festive atmosphere?

I have returned from the ancient town of Nanxun, and overall, it was quite nice. First, regarding transportation: I took the high-speed train from Hangzhou to Huzhou station. After leaving Huzhou station, I took the 101 bus directly to the ancient town. The bus ride took about 1 hour and 45 minutes and cost only 2 yuan, which is very cheap. Friends can also take a taxi from Huzhou station, which would cost around 100 yuan. (For the 101 bus schedule, see attached image 9) If you are nearby Zhejiang, you can also look for bus tickets to the ancient town. For example, I could buy a bus ticket from Hangzhou, and it takes about one to two hours to reach the ancient town. The overall duration is not much different from taking the high-speed train and then a bus, so it's up to personal preference. Second, regarding the experience: I arrived at the ancient town on the first evening. There were quite a few people at night, but it wasn't overcrowded, so it didn't affect the visit. Since it rained the next day, there weren't many people in the scenic area. I suggest choosing a sunny day to go, so you can see the sunset glow. Also, I personally think the night view is really good, and I suggest everyone must see the night view. The experience during the day and at night is completely different (images 3-8). If you want to take a boat, you can do so at the Guanghui Bridge pier. It costs about forty to fifty yuan, I don't remember the exact amount. There are more people queuing for boats at night than during the day. In addition, there is a water bus during the day in the ancient town, which costs 3 yuan, very cheap. Third, regarding food and cultural and creative products: Nanxun Trotters Pig's feet cost 40 yuan each, and pig's knuckles cost 80 yuan each. If you go alone, you can try the pig's feet. If you go with others, you can buy a knuckle, which is quite large and enough for several people to eat. There is also a Nanxun Trotters in the scenic area, where pig's feet are sold for 68 yuan each. Personally, I feel it's not much different from the 40 yuan ones, I didn't try it, so decide for yourself. (image 10) Nanxun Cakes 20 yuan per box, these Nanxun cakes are not the big cake type, but more like small peach crisps, with many flavors to choose from, such as walnut, black sesame, goji berry, etc. I bought the black sesame flavor, and it tasted good. (image 11) Shuangjiao Noodles I recommend going to Longfeng Noodle House. The room is not big, and you may need to share a table if there are many people. The basic version costs 22 yuan per bowl and comes with two large pieces of meat. You can also choose other upgraded versions, which just add more ingredients, like beef, bamboo shoots, etc. I bought the basic version, and it was especially delicious. Some people say it's too sweet, but it might just be a matter of personal taste. Since you're here, you might as well try it. (image 12) Stir-fried Dishes If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, you can go to Baijianlou for private home-style dishes. There are many places to choose from, and you can enjoy the scenery while eating. Decide for yourself which one to choose. I haven't tried it. Cultural and Creative Products Fans are priced at 10, 15, 20, 30 yuan, etc. I suggest you buy them from the stalls in the square, where they cost 10 yuan each, cheaper than in the cultural and creative stores. Friends who want to keep a souvenir can also buy other small items. I bought a fridge magnet from The Cat's Sky Castle, which is inside the scenic area. (image 13) That's about all I can think of. If other friends have questions, you can ask me.

Saturday self-drive day trip from Shanghai, here comes the Nanxun ancient town guide! 🚗 The journey is only an hour and a half, and there are free parking spaces near the scenic area 🅿, and today there aren't many people, so parking is very convenient. 🎫 Admission to the scenic area is free, but some attractions require a separate ticket. It is recommended to get a map of the scenic area 🗺, plan ahead, and mark the places you want to visit to avoid unnecessary detours. 🕌 The most impressive attraction is the 'Jili Lake Silk House', which has handcrafted exquisite models 🎁, showing the entire process from sericulture to weaving. I raised silkworms at home when I was a child, and these familiar scenes are full of memories for me. The architecture in the Jiangnan area is unique, with small bridges over flowing water, whitewashed walls with black tiles, mottled walls, and wooden buildings, all telling the romance of Jiangnan 🎶. 🍱 For dining, you can pick any roadside stir-fry restaurant, highly recommend the Dongpo pork, the taste is amazing! As for snacks, there's no special place to check in, just eat wherever you go, the snacks at each scenic spot are more or less the same. 💡 After dark, the lights of the ancient town are lit up, and the view is incomparably beautiful! Sitting in a rowing boat, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river, is truly relaxing! 🚣 We arrived at 11 o'clock and finished strolling around at 7 in the evening, with a long break at a coffee shop in between. The beauty of Jiangnan is a sight at every step, and if you're not in a hurry, you can stroll for a long time! 🌳

🚶‍♂️✨ It's so comfortable! Go out and see, the attractions of Huzhou are really good, and they are full of cultural heritage. Let me write you a vivid copy about Huzhou tourism! 💼🌄 Day 1️⃣ Nanxun Ancient Town 🍓In the morning we arrived at Nanxun Ancient Town (free admission!). Because it is the off-season for tourism, there are relatively few people, and it is very comfortable to stroll around. And the night view is more charming than during the day, we also took a rowing boat, wandering on the water, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the night. 🛶✨ ⚫Tip: Remember to go early, because the ancient town turns off the lights at 10 o'clock in the evening! 🍓At noon we went to Huanxi·Pufferfish Crab Powder Lo Rice. This restaurant is a paradise for seafood lovers. Although I dare not eat pufferfish, I ordered their signature crab roe noodles, which tasted really delicious! 🦀🍜 🍓In the evening, we took a rowing boat again to admire the lights of the waterway and surrounding buildings. The entire river is decorated with colorful light strips, sitting on the boat leisurely enjoying this beautiful scenery, it is really wonderful! 🌈🚤 Day 2️⃣ Clothing Street, Champion Street, Little West Street→Taihu Dragon Dream Circus 🧡We started today's itinerary and went to Clothing Street, Champion Street, and Little West Street. Among them, Clothing Street is mainly for various snacks. Although there are no particularly good shops to visit, the chestnut cakes, Dingsheng cakes, and roast pig's feet there are really drooling! 🍡🥓 🎈Next we came to Champion Street, although it is not long and not very lively, it is more suitable for strolling and admiring the scenery. And Little West Street has a strong artistic atmosphere, and many cultural and creative products are dazzling. 🎨✨ 🍓In the afternoon we went to watch the Taihu Dragon Dream Circus (ticket 280 yuan). There are two performances every day, at 15:00 in the afternoon and 19:00 in the evening, lasting about an hour and a half. We chose a later time, although sitting in the back row, but the sound and lighting effects are very good! 🎪🎟️ 🍓In the evening, we went to Wangjia Courtyard for dinner. This restaurant is not far from the Dragon Dream Scenic Area, and parking is very convenient. Their silver fish scrambled eggs are particularly delicious, the tender taste of the eggs paired with the fragrance of the silver fish, it is absolutely delicious! There is also Taihu white shrimp, fresh and delicious, which makes me memorable! In addition, their salt and pepper ribs are also very crispy, the aroma is overflowing when they are just on the table, it is definitely a must-try delicacy! 🍳🍤🍖 This is my two-day itinerary in Huzhou! I hope my travel notes can inspire and inspire you, and let you have fun on your journey in Huzhou! 💫✈️

January in the south is good weather, you must go out for a walk! This time I chose Nanxun Ancient Town. There are fewer people here and it's not heavily commercialized. The quiet ancient town is really comfortable to walk around. The south parking lot is a distance from the ancient town. The north parking lot is not easy to park. If you come on weekdays, you can find it. Everyone chooses to enter the ancient town for free, and there are some niche attractions inside that charge fees. We didn't go. The ancient town is quite large. I like Baijianlou the most. It's not far from the north gate. There is a guide map at the south visitor center. You can take a look. I really like the quietness here.
