Which of the two newly-built ancient towns in Shandong, Matou Ancient Town and Niulou Town, do you prefer?

In recent years, some ancient cities have been built in Shandong, some of which have become popular tourist attractions, represented by Taierzhuang.

In fact, in addition to ancient cities, there are some ancient towns in Shandong. The following are two newly-built ancient towns in Shandong, Matou Ancient Town and Niulou Town. I wonder which one do you prefer?

Where is Matou Ancient Town?

What kind of ancient town is this?

It is estimated that many people are whispering in their hearts?

Let's talk about this ancient town in detail.

Matou Ancient Town is located in Matou Town, Tancheng County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. Needless to say, Linyi is familiar to everyone. Tancheng is a place that outsiders may never have heard of, let alone Matou Town.

Tancheng County is located in the south of Linyi City, adjacent to northern Jiangsu Province, and is known as the "throat" of southern Shandong. There was Tancheng County in history. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a great earthquake, which was called "Tancheng Earthquake" in history.

Matou Town, which we want to talk about, is located in the west of Tancheng County, on the south bank of yi river. It has been a famous town in Tancheng since ancient times. Tracing its history is quite a long time ago. It is said that the Tang Dynasty began to take shape, but it really flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for the simple reason that yi river is a big river running through southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu.

As a result, businessmen from all over the country gathered together to open stores, build churches and repair temples, which was booming for a time. In addition, Matou Town also had its glory in modern history, creating the "first branch in southern Shandong".

But Matou Town is not as well preserved as the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it can only be regarded as a newly-built "ancient town". Of course, history is well documented, but times have changed.

The main attractions are Yuanxingyong (built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties), the former site of the first branch of the Communist Party of China in southern Shandong, the mosque (built in the Ming Dynasty and renovated many times in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China) and Cailian Lake.

Niulou Town is located in Xinyan Town, Yanzhou District, Jining City. Accurately speaking, it is not an ancient town, but the antique buildings give people the feeling of an ancient town. In fact, this is a new antique building.

In the past two years, Niulou Town has gradually become a punching attraction among network celebrities. So what is the charm of this characteristic town?

Niulou Town has the folk architectural style of southwest Shandong. Tourists were placed on the streets paved with bluestone slabs, as if they had entered the past. For local people, it is also a rare place to travel and relax. What is more worthy of recognition is that Niulou Town, a characteristic town, is a model of local rural revitalization.
