Yiyang invested heavily to build a 5A-level Jiangnan ancient town. The 2,000 acres are spectacular, but now it is an unfinished building.

In recent years, many "ancient towns" and "ancient cities" have sprung up all over the country. Some places have some historical allusions, and some are just a so-called "ancient town" built on wasteland. The ancient cities in China are still built with reinforced concrete. Currently, only Songcheng in Hangzhou can benefit from such newly built ancient cities and towns. However, the antique ancient city attractions in other places are generally quite miserable. In Yiyang, there are An antique ancient city has now become an unfinished building. This is Yiyang Jiangnan Ancient City.

This Jiangnan ancient city is located in the Eastern New District of Yiyang City. At that time, it was said that the investment was the same as that of Changsha Tongguanyao Ancient Town today, reaching 10 billion, and the area reached 2,000 acres, which is completely comparable to Changsha Tongguanyao Ancient Town. Unfortunately, When I passed there recently on a self-driving trip, I found that it had become an unfinished building.

After checking the information about this ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is said that it is to create a 5A-level standard scenic spot that integrates tourism, residence, shopping, business, entertainment, leisure vacation and other functions. The investor is Yankuang Donghua (Hunan) Cultural Tourism Investment Co., Ltd. It is combined with the cultural landscape around Yiyang and is ready to be built into a cultural corridor.

However, looking at the completed construction parts now, we can find that this ancient city is not like a tourist attraction, but like a residential and commercial pedestrian street project, with 2,000 acres of traditional houses, including There are 300 acres of water bodies and some villas similar to Suzhou gardens.

The roads inside have not yet been hardened, and there are no supporting facilities. However, now the main buildings of all the buildings in the entire project have been completed, and even the antique decoration of the exterior walls of some buildings has been completed. However, whether it is The yard of the villa and the open space are now overgrown with weeds, with stagnant water and mud everywhere. In some places, the weeds are even taller than people, and some walls have been washed black by rain. I guess it will take a long time for this place to be unfinished.

The first information I saw here should be the opening of the first phase in 2014. I don’t know if the shops and residences here have been sold. After walking in through the archway of Jiangnan Ancient Town, I looked around and saw the antique There are endless buildings as far as the eye can see. Some of them are high-rise-style antique buildings, villas imitating Suzhou garden style, and Hui-style buildings with green tiles and white walls and cornices.

I wandered around inside for a long time, but I didn’t see a single person. The whole place was very empty. However, there were some ducks swimming in the stagnant water, and they kept calling out to cover the open space. There was a hint of anger.

As someone who has passed by on a self-driving tour, I don’t know what happened here. What caused the 5A-level scenic spot that was once to be built to become an unfinished building overgrown with weeds? Does anyone know? Friends can share it in the comment area.
