Guizhou’s 2 billion “fake” ancient town is called “Little Shanghai” and is even more popular than Zhenyuan Ancient Town

On December 31, 2019, Zhenyuan Ancient Town in Guizhou won the title of national 5A-level scenic spot and became the first 5A-level ancient town in Guizhou. While Zhenyuan Ancient Town became a 5A-level scenic spot, many ancient towns are also developing Working hard in this direction, one of the ancient towns has great potential, and has more tourists than Zhenyuan Ancient Town, and is more popular than Zhenyuan Ancient Town. It is the same as Zhenyuan Ancient Town, located in the Xiasi Ancient Town in southeastern Guizhou.

In September 2013, Xiasi Ancient Town began to transform from its original desolate, dilapidated and gorgeous state into one of the most famous ancient towns in southeastern Guizhou. At that time, the top ancient town planners in China were invited to spend 20 100 million, it is planned to become the Xiasi ancient town we see now. There is still a little time here: the company that currently plans and manages Xiasi Ancient Town spent 350 million to acquire the operating rights of Xiasi Ancient Town, and this is how the current Xiasi Ancient Town came into being.

The newly planned Xiasi Ancient Town has been a 4A-level ancient town since its opening. This is because Xiasi Ancient Town itself has unique advantages. For example, titles such as "Little Shanghai, Little Jiangnan, Pearl of Guizhou Plateau". Let’s focus on the title “Little Shanghai”. The ancient Xiasi Ancient Town was the first needle on the Qingshui River and was an important transportation town in Guizhou and even the southwest, thus driving the economic development of Xiasi Ancient Town. This is the geographical location level.

Secondly, Xiasi Ancient Town is a combination of ecological tourism and national cultural tourism. Just like Shanghai, it is full of the charm of Jiangnan water town. This is the ecological environment level. Third, from the 13th year of Jiaqing to the Republic of China, Xiasi Ancient Town was the most prosperous ancient town in southeastern Guizhou. At that time, merchants gathered in the town, and all kinds of businessmen gathered here, making the ancient town prosperous and open all night long. This kind of city never sleeps The scene is praised as "Little Shanghai". This is the historical level.

Xiasi Ancient Town has huge potential in terms of its historical heritage and modernization. Although it only relies on the rich commercial port culture and humanistic ecology of Xiasi, and is a "fake" ancient town built at a cost of 2 billion, there are indeed many landscapes in Xiasi Ancient Town, which cannot be fully counted, including history, humanities, and natural landscapes. There are 52 scenic spots with ethnic customs and other landscapes. This is why Xiasi Ancient Town is more popular than Zhenyuan Ancient Town.

Compared with Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Xiasi Ancient Town is relatively young in terms of culture and tourism development. What's more worth mentioning is that although Xiasi Ancient Town has many shops showing various commercial port cultures, it is not commercialized. This is the fundamental reason why Xiasi Ancient Town is so popular. In the process of developing tourist attractions, there will be some elements of re-planning and creation, so Xiasi Ancient Town is not completely considered a "fake" ancient town.

Key recommendation: When you go to Xiasi Ancient Town, you must go to the cobblestone Flower Street. The shops and buildings on both sides of the street have a certain history. This is also the origin of the title "Little Shanghai". In addition, Xiasi Ancient Town also has intangible cultural heritage experience, cruises and other tourism services, but they are all chargeable. For example, the intangible cultural heritage items cost 12 yuan, and the large boat ticket for the tour costs 40 yuan, but the current ticket prices are higher. 40% off, the original 90 yuan is now only 40 yuan, and the two-person ticket is even more discounted.

If we want to be promoted to a 5A scenic spot next time, I think many people will recommend Xiasi Ancient Town first. After all, it has been working hard in this direction and has enough strength and potential!
