What are the most worthwhile ancient towns in China?

China has a long history of more than 5000 years. Chinese civilization has never stopped for thousands of years, and a large number of ancient towns have been preserved. These traditional towns have become popular tourist attractions, attracting the attention of a large number of tourists. The following is a detailed recommendation of the ancient town.

Qi zhou ancient city 1

The ancient city of qi zhou is located in Qichun Town, Hubei Province. Qichun is the hometown of Li Shizhen. Bian Xiao has been to the local area and found many streets in Qichun. Whenever he passes by, he can smell the fragrance of medicinal materials. On the way from the county seat to Chen Zhou Town, the fragrance of medicinal materials floated from time to time outside the window, which made Bian Xiao feel very comfortable. The ancient city of qi zhou was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It used to have many gates, but unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. So far, only Wu Xiongmen has been preserved. Xiongmen was built on a low slope. Standing at the foot of the slope and looking up at the stone steps and the tall towers on them, it felt magnificent. Unfortunately, only Xiongwumen and its walls in the ancient city of qi zhou are buildings left over from history. Unfortunately, the streets around Xiongwumen are only antique buildings built by modern people.

2. Jingzhou Ancient City

The city is located in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province. Although the gates and walls of the ancient city of qi zhou are incomplete, the gates and walls of Jingzhou are well preserved.

The ancient city was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been revised since then. The city walls we can see at present are real places of interest. You might as well go and have a look. Besides, not far from this city is Ying Du, the capital of Chu. It's also worth seeing.

3. Ningyuan Ancient City

Ningyuan Ancient City is located in Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province. Built in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. During the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan fought with the army of the late Jin Dynasty here. Speaking of Ningyuan Ancient City, Bian Xiao personally has great feelings for it. Bian Xiao was studying in Jinzhou, and when he was in a bad mood, he took a long-distance bus to Ningyuan Ancient City for fun. The city wall was built by sticking pieces of Shi Zhuan and rice porridge together. The roads in the city are criss-crossed, with shops selling all kinds of food and articles on both sides, as well as ancient gold plaques. In addition, there are the General's Mansion, the City God Temple (the place where Xu Da, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, offered sacrifices) and antique archways. Traveling in the city is like going back to the Ming Dynasty. Not so fast.

A few years ago, Ningyuan ancient city carried out the "lighting project" at night. In this way, it is good for everyone to visit Ningyuan ancient city for one night.

Out of Ningyuan ancient city, the seaside tourist area is not far away.

The ancient city of Shangqiu was built during the period of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty. It consists of three parts: a brick city, a city lake and a city wall. The outer ring is inside. It looks like an ancient coin. There are many scenic spots in and around the ancient city, among which the scenery near Nanchengmen and Nanhu is worth seeing. Most of the ancient cities in the north only have towers and city walls, and ancient cities with open lakes like Shangqiu are rare in the north, let alone underwater cities.

The city is located in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture, Hunan Province. Bian Xiao passed by the city several times. Although she didn't have time to visit, she could only have a quick glance, but it was enough to make Bian Xiao's heart tremble. Buildings in ancient cities in the north usually have only one floor, and occasionally two floors can be seen. The buildings in Fenghuang Ancient City are mostly three or four stories, mostly wooden houses and stilts in Miao style. There are small buildings with red lanterns, ancient pagodas, restaurants selling special snacks, bars and rivers running through the city. What's more, it is an undiscovered place. Here, you can meet folk singers who sing well. If you get along with them, you can also hear them tell you their stories along the way. Bian Xiao's friends used to be singers here.

The ancient city of Ningyuan was mentioned earlier. The night "lighting project" of Ningyuan ancient city began at about 1920. The "lighting project" of Fenghuang ancient city seems to be much earlier. Many years ago, Bian Xiao passed the ancient city of Fenghuang for the first time. That night, the ancient city of Fenghuang has been

5. Fenghuang Ancient City

Pingyao Ancient City, located in Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, is the most complete existing ancient city. Pingyao ancient city was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Today, it was restored in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are four main streets, eight small streets and seventy-two scuba alleys. This city is the site of architecture of various dynasties. For example, Zhenguo Temple was built in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This temple is the building of A Jin dynasty; County government is a building in Yuan Dynasty; The city wall, including Dianjiang Tower and Kuixing Pavilion, was rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there were four towers. Rishengchang Bank in the city is also a building in Qing Dynasty.

When you come to Pingyao Ancient City, you can see the architectural features of different periods in ancient China, which is also because you have come.

The fly in the ointment is that the Beijing News reported that some unscrupulous merchants sold unqualified "three vinegar" in the name of "Pingyao specialty", which harmed consumers. Fortunately, the relevant departments investigated and dealt with it in time, so that the unscrupulous merchants got the punishment they deserved. Here, Bian Xiao hopes that some enterprises will not damage Pingyao's reputation.

: Some people look down on the ancient city of Xi, thinking that it has only the city walls left. The point is that there are nearly 300 cities in China, and the city with complete ancient city walls is probably unique in Xi 'an. The wall is nearly 14 km, and there are 18 gates. This is the Ming Dynasty wall of Xi 'an, closely surrounding the main city of Xi 'an, and the Bell and Drum Tower is in the center of the ancient city surrounded by the wall. More importantly, Xi Chang 'an in a broad sense also includes the ruins of Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this the only city with a complete ancient city wall worth visiting? When Bian Xiao came to Xi, he walked along the city wall and fell in love with this ancient city.

I really don't know why Chang 'an changed its name to Xi 'an. The name "Chang 'an" is better.

6. Pingyao Ancient City

The ancient city of Dali is close to Cangshan and Erhai. Its most attractive place is not its walls and towers, nor its Chongsheng Temple and butterfly spring, but its humanistic atmosphere. It's a paradise for vagrants. When it comes to "tramps", please don't scoff.

Aren't those wandering singers and painters lovely people? Isn't San Mao one of the tramps? "Wandering" does not mean "exile", let alone "begging". If you can come to the ancient city of Dali and meet some wandering singers and painters with unique skills, you will definitely admire their skills. Dali ancient city, an ancient city with natural scenery, historical background and contemporary humanistic atmosphere, is definitely worth visiting.
