Is the ancient town of Anchang interesting? How about Anchang Ancient Town?

There are many ancient towns in China, not to mention the famous ones. What this article wants to introduce to you is an ancient town, Anchang, which is not particularly famous. Let's see what's interesting.

After the light rain, the ancient town became quieter, and the humid air was filled with the breath of Jiangnan. At the entrance of the ancient town, there is a sculpture: an old man stands on a boat and bows to pedestrians with a fan in his hand, as if welcoming tourists here for sightseeing.

Anchang Ancient Town is located in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City. It is one of the four ancient towns in Shaoxing and a famous historical and cultural town in Zhejiang Province. It is adjacent to Xiaoshan District in Hangzhou, Ke Qiao City in the south and Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway in the north.

Founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was burned many times due to the war and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its architectural style inherits the typical characteristics of Jiangnan water town, simple and elegant. Its characteristics are Anchang sausage and sugar, and its water wedding with water town style is also unique. It is the hometown of Shaoxing touts. The most distinctive is the small bridge in Anchang. The twelfth lunar month wind attracts a large number of tourists every year.

There are few tourists in the ancient town after the light rain, which seems very quiet.

Sausage, which is very common here, is a major feature of the ancient town.

There are many kinds of traditional old shops along the street, selling a wide range of local specialties, especially the traditional foods made by the people on the spot, such as sausages and sugar, which have unique flavor and local characteristics.

Enter the first scenic spot in the scenic spot-the first corridor of the breeze.

A female tourist rowed a boat and shook her oars by the river, and the water rippled.

Tourists can sit on the boat, stroll in the ancient town and listen to fishermen telling stories about the ancient town.

There are very distinctive small shops in the ancient town, one connected to the other, so that you can experience and watch them to your heart's content.

Two boats, one after the other, were rowed by tourists and passed an ancient bridge.

This is the busiest old waterfront street in the ancient town.

Tourists are passing the Temple Bridge, an ancient bridge built in the Yuan Dynasty.

The old street is built by the river, with a total length of 1747 meters. The south of the river is residential, and the north of the river is commercial city. The two banks are connected by an ancient bridge. In the south of the river, there is a covered corridor, which can shelter from the sun and rain, and shops and workshops with various traditional characteristics are dotted with arcades.

Sausage is a specialty of Anchang, which is available all year round, especially in winter. A good sausage requires that the casing should be made of high-quality pig small intestine, which is filled with minced meat made of lean pig hind legs. Sausages are handmade by local residents. After filling, the sausage is hung by the river in front of their house. It is ventilated here, which can quickly dry water and facilitate storage. In the twelfth month, a string of sausages hangs in front of the door, which naturally becomes a unique scenery.

Some people say that all the touts in the world are from Shaoxing, but few people know that Shaoxing touts are mostly from Anchang. It is said that more than ten thousand touts have gone out from here in 200 years. Nowadays, there are many former residences of touts scattered on both sides of the river. Relying on the former residence of Master Lou Xintian, Shi Ye Pavilion shows "Shaoxing Master", a special social group, a special political and cultural phenomenon in the late feudal history of China, and its deep roots in Anchang.

Dunchengtang, a building in the Qing Dynasty, was built along the Hebei Building in the early years of the Republic of China. It used to be the former residence of Shanghai industrialist Lu, belonging to the category of historical buildings.

Ankang Temple, also known as Anchangyuan, was built in the first year of Changxing in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years. For thousands of years, the temple has been destroyed and built repeatedly. In 29 years, some buildings were destroyed by fire, and temples gradually collapsed. In order to cooperate with the development and construction of Anchang ancient town, the foundation stone was laid for the restoration and reconstruction of Ankang Temple in June 2005 (5438+0 1) and June 2009 (5438+0 1).

Completed on the day of completion. The eaves of the newly-built Ankang Temple are magnificent.

Sitting in the shed of the old street, eating special snacks, watching the fish chasing each other in the river, splashing on the water from time to time, and occasionally a cruise ship passing by, a picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly appeared in front of us.
