Closing Announcement

The ancient city of Shipu has a history of more than 600 years. It has mountains on one end and the sea on the other. It has a unique and well-proportioned mountain fishing port. There are many quaint old houses in the city, small shops selling seafood on the roadside, and 14 exhibition halls to learn about local culture. Whether you love ancient cities, culture or seafood, this is a good choice.

The ancient city is not big, with a depth of about 1.5 kilometers. You can walk along the stone path. The ancient city of Jiangnan does not have elaborate craftsmanship, but most of it is ancient wooden structure buildings. There are antique houses along the road with many colorful fish lanterns hanging. The windows of every house are decorated with small ornaments made of shellfish and green plants, which is very unique. What's even more rare is that there are still many residents living here, the life is full of atmosphere, and the photos taken are also very tasteful.

You need to buy a ticket to enter the ancient city. The tour starts from the Shipu Ancient City Archway and you can visit the main attractions along the main road. Next to the archway there is a Jiangxin Palace, which is prosperous all year round. At the entrance, you can browse the vicissitudes of the port city and the two exhibition halls of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, and learn about the history of the ancient city and life in the fishing village through exhibition boards and objects. Walk to Jinshan Hotel on Fujian Street, where the crew of "Yu Guang Qu" stayed.

Not far ahead, you will come to the most famous Middle Street in the ancient city. This is the best-preserved and most prosperous commercial street in the entire ancient city, with a strong fisherman's flavor. In particular, there is a moon hole-shaped embankment wall every 50 meters on the street to prevent fire and theft. Looking now, it makes the streets feel patchwork and extended. At that time, there were many shops on this street. Now, you can visit some time-honored exhibition halls along the street, such as Hongzhang Silk Museum, China Button Exhibition Hall, Shengyuan Bank, Baichuan Pavilion, Daidaichun (Chinese Medicine Store), Zhaihang Cigarette Shop, Ganda Pawn Shop, etc. You gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of local life.

When you come to Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, you must not miss the seafood. The seafood here is a bit expensive, but very fresh. Girls can buy some small potted plants made of conches as flower pots, which are very cute. Next to the ancient city is the harbor. During the fishing season, many boats will stop here, which is also a scene of the ancient city. There is a Taiwanese-style snack street next to Jiang Temple, which can solve the dining problem.
