The rich historical and cultural relics and the quaint water towns in the south of the Yangtze River constitute the unique tourism resources of Qiandeng.

In recent years, on the basis of remarkable achievements in export-oriented economy and private economy, the Party Committee and government of Qiandeng Town have paid more attention to the protection, development and utilization of ancient towns, established the tourism development idea of "protecting ancient towns, inheriting culture, developing tourism and promoting development", vigorously implemented the government-led tourism development strategy and accelerated the development of cultural tourism.

Since 2002, the town has invested more than 40 million yuan for the restoration and protection of the ancient town. In recent years, about 10000 square meters of buildings in the 1970s and 1980s have been demolished, and more than 7000 square meters of houses have been demolished, making the architectural style in the ancient town basically harmonious.

At the same time, the ancient residence, the ancient building memorial hall, the pawnshop, the Qinwangshan and the beacon tower were successively repaired, Ningxun Bridge and Hengsheng Bridge were rebuilt, and the building renovation project along Shiban Street was started.

After the development and construction in recent years, Qiandeng Town has initially formed a new tourism pattern, which is based on the scenery of the water town, featuring cultural display, and integrating talent-seeking, water town sightseeing and ancient town exploration. The charm of cultural tourism is increasing.

In the future, Qiandeng Ancient Town will further strengthen the protection of the ancient town and the development of cultural tourism, and take "Lin Ting's hometown, the source of opera and the idyllic water town" as the brand to form a new pattern of tourism development with the focus on ancient town tourism and the extension of eco-agricultural tourism.

By then, Qiandeng, which is bred by a long history and rich Wu culture, will show a more charming style with its exquisite water town style, unique cultural landscape and simple folk customs.
