Pótān Ancient Town, a thousand years of history, the 'dragon'-shaped ancient street winds
🌤Pótān Ancient Town is located to the west of Xianju. The ancient town is now quiet, tranquil, and less commercial. But a thousand years ago, it was bustling. The Lingjiang and Yong'an streams converge here, and the Cangling Ancient Road from Zhejiang East to Zhejiang West also starts here. The convenient waterway and superior geographical location made Pótān prosperous in business and developed in salt transportation. It can be said that Pótān, which occupies the right time, place, and people, was the most prosperous market town along the Yong'an stream.
🌿It was already afternoon when we arrived at Pótān Ancient Town. Before entering the ancient town, you have to pass through a small road covered by trees. The plants in Zhejiang East are lush and vigorous, and they do not wither in winter, and the leaves are green and shiny.
📌The main attractions in Pótān are the buildings and ancestral halls. The 'dragon'-shaped ancient street paved with cobblestones is the symbol here; and the commercial ports, ancestral halls, and residences on both sides of the ancient street are neatly arranged, with buildings from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Republic of China periods. Walking along the ancient street, there are deep alleys extending outwards, which is the vein of the ancient town, paving a street into a net; at the end of the 'dragon'-shaped ancient street, there is an ancestral hall, in front of which stands a rare brick carving arch in China, with clearly visible carvings of fairy deer, magpies, kirin, and scholars waving fans, which are very well preserved.
🏮Pótān boneless flower lanterns, also known as 'Tang lanterns', are intangible cultural heritage. The lanterns are small and classical in shape, without a skeleton, and the pinholes are scattered all over the lantern. When lit with a candle at night, the whole body glows brightly, very oriental. It is not difficult to imagine that the prosperity, romance, and enjoyment of the Tang Dynasty arrived here along the waterway and were presented in the form of lanterns. The ancient town has a small lantern museum where you can see boneless lanterns for free.

I have been to so many ancient towns, which is the most original ecology of this house. It can even be described as dilapidated. The original fare was actually 30. I really didn't expect it to occupy the free light before 2.28, otherwise I wouldn't think of coming here to play. The parking lot is also very original, all stones, the entrance leads to a country trail, to the end is a small pool, behind the walk to know that it should be the source of the village stream next to the ancient town trail or the role of regulating the water volume of the stream, there is a red revolutionary place outside the entrance of the ancient town, Unfortunately, like many other buildings in the ancient town, the door is locked, and there is no chance to peek inside. As soon as you enter the door, there are small stalls selling local local products. Unfortunately, there are no stall owners. The buildings that are open inside, such as brothels, there are still people living, parked in the moving car, cold clothes, but there are no people, some strange, Overall, half an hour is enough to go shopping, especially in the original ecology, but if it is not free, I am really sorry for the price of 30 yuan.
First read bo (bo), hahahaha, a day of knowledge. The ancient town is very quiet, and the needle-puncture boneless lamp at night is a highlight. It originated from Xianju Yantan, because this was an important shopping mall in southeast Zhejiang during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is rumored that the boneless flower lamp originated from the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as "Tang Lamp".
The town is not big, it is a cobbled path, and it takes less than an hour to walk and take pictures. There is no overdevelopment, and the Aboriginal people have moved almost. Although there are no tickets for appointments, there are not many tourists. The river at the entrance of the town is really good, clear and transparent, very beautiful. It feels good, but there is no need to leave too much time to play. If there is a car, you can go to play after playing Shenxianju, only 8 kilometers between the two.
Come to play on Friday, I don’t know how to enter the ancient town from the commercial street next to it. It’s really hot in all directions [Sob] in summer. It’s so hot. If you don’t have a strong interest in heavy history, it’s still quite a crime to come here. In addition to several attractions in the ancient town, the door is open (all free), Other portals are closed, there is nothing to eat and drink, there is no commercial atmosphere, and it is simple and original. I looked at the appearance of the building along the way. I feel that it is best to have a tour guide to explain it here. I really can't see it.
In addition to the fairy residence, the ancient town of Yantan is also a place that must be punched in. The original ancient town has no commercial flavor. It retains a complete Ming and Qing architecture. Chen's Ancestral Hall, Hu Gongdian, and Heshili have their own characteristics, so that you can feel the prosperity of the local people in the Ming and Qing ~! This stage is not only free, but also the needle-puncture boneless lantern exhibition ~ is very beautiful. In addition, there is now also a Xianju History and Culture Exhibition in Heshili ~ which is equivalent to a Xianju Museum, so that you can better understand the past and present life of Xianju! Naturally, those who really like historical monuments and culture will like the ancient town of Yantan, thinking that they will not lose to any of the five A ancient town attractions! Over-packing and commercialization will lose the original taste of the ancient town!
In the ancient town of Yantan, if you want to like the attractions you know like this, it is recommended to go. It is best to go shopping when there are not many people. On weekends, there are many people on holidays. This kind of relatively niche attraction can be visited.
[Fun] Can be can be [Cost-effective] Very good, very good [View] Not bad, not bad
Old town, don't have a lot of
