What quaint and little-known cities are worth visiting?

Speaking of antiques, do you think of Wuzhen in Jiangnan or Pingyao Ancient City? Here are a few niche ancient incense cities and low-key treasure cities!

Tongxiang, Jiaxing 1

You said that spring is not too late, so I will go to the real Jiangnan ~ Compared with the lively Wuzhen, after nine years of protection and development, classical aesthetics and modern fashion have collided here, and the ancient town of Puyuan-Jiangnan Water Town is quietly emitting a different kind of charm!

Song-style architecture, ink-and-wash Jiangnan water town, white walls and tiles, small bridges and flowing water, rowed back to the Song Dynasty by boat for one second, which is really small and not crowded on weekends.

Attractions:

① Fang Shu Zen Garden, a pavilion in the Tang and Song Dynasties, embodies elegance and luxury in details. When the water mist permeates, it is also true and illusory, beautiful and romantic!

② Scenic Theater, Yuejia Courtyard, Beigenglou, Fushan Pagoda, Fushan Temple, Jude Street, Candle Street and Xiang Yun Guan. If you walk around here in Hanfu, you can shoot a big movie with your hands!

(3) There is a food street outside Beigeng Building. There are many kinds of food streets, such as Youth League, Shaomai, Zongzi Shop, Teahouse and roasted seeds and nuts, which are delicious and can satisfy the taste buds of friends all over the world!

2. Zhengding Ancient City

As the hometown of Zhao Zilong, Zhengding Ancient City is a low-key town with a history and culture of thousands of years. Known as "three mountains disappear, nine bridges don't flow, four towers and eight temples on the ninth floor, and twenty-four golden arches". Although the train pulled to Shijiazhuang, it could not pull away the historical glory of the ancient city.

Transportation:

Trains and high-speed trains are very convenient, as well as zhengding international airport; Take the bus in the urban area about 1 hour; Self-driving cars can go directly to Zhengding Nanchengmen parking lot and park for free.

Attractions:

① Ancient city wall: the most worthwhile place to punch in. Climb up the city wall, see the whole picture of the temple tower and the ancient city, start from the gatehouse of Zhengding Cheng Nan, stroll through the ancient city wall, and feel the ancient and modern changes of the ideal city.

② Five temples and four pagodas: Guanghui Temple, Linji Temple, Kaiyuan Temple, longxing temple, Tianning Temple, Lingxiao Pagoda, Huata Pagoda, Sumeru Pagoda, Chengling Pagoda and other scenic spots. Temples charge less and there are not many scenic spots. If you really want to go, I suggest buying a joint ticket.

③ Zhengding Historical and Cultural Street: mainly Zhao Yan South Street, with Yanghe Building, Confucian Temple, Tang Dynasty Monument and many other historical and ancient buildings along the way, which finally leads to Nanchengmen.

3. Tongling in Anhui Province

This is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which combines the essence of Huizhou architecture and the beauty of Jiangnan gardens in Jiang Hui. It has cornices and cornice powder walls of Huizhou architecture, and the scale of Horsehead wall is similar. The woodcarving of the old wooden house on the street is exquisite and complicated, as well as the gentleness and beauty of the Jiangnan water town around the corner. Walking in a quiet and long bluestone alley is like being in an ancient town of Ming and Qing dynasties, and instantly crossing back to the picture of Ming and Qing dynasties hundreds of years ago.

Attractions:

Liqiao water town: a well-preserved ancient village. Walking in the village, you will feel an artistic atmosphere pervading every corner. Walking in the deep and curved old street, you can see the horse head wall with blue bricks and tiles everywhere, which is very Huizhou style. The vicissitudes of the old street are really pleasing to the eye.

The white wall tiles in ancient villages are like ink paintings, full of poetry and romance.

If you prefer the gentle and graceful artistic conception of Jiangnan water town, you must come to Xingqiao water town. Here, time seems to have stopped, and I can't bear to take another step, for fear of ruining the tranquility of the years in southern Anhui. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a place that I don't want to go again when I come. Compared with those ancient towns in Zhejiang where tourists are bursting, you will definitely like Tongling, a small town in southern Anhui.

4. Huangshan yi county

The old street of Yixian ancient city can be described as the memory of this city. Every street here contains the historical charm of a city for hundreds and thousands of years, the folk customs of a region and the childhood memories of generations.

Attractions:

Strolling through the ancient city, next to every ancient building with a long history, you can appreciate the rich history and splendid culture of the ancient city.

Walking along the winding alley into the deepest part of the old street, I saw layers of white walls and tiles scattered at will. There is only a simple vegetable market here to meet the simple needs of local people. There are no online celebrity shops and no unified commercial restaurants. There are deep houses on both sides of the narrow alley. Some old houses seem to have been abandoned long ago, and the high walls are covered with moss because of their age.

Although it is very old, it is relatively well preserved and seems a bit empty. It is full of life, and it is an unpopular and antique city worth visiting.
