An ancient historical city in Jiangxi, only 42 kilometers away from Shangrao, is called "Little Suzhou".

As we all know, Jiangxi is a province in the southeast of China, next to which are two other very developed provinces, namely Zhejiang and Guangdong. Therefore, to a certain extent, Jiangxi's geographical position is also particularly superior. Moreover, people's living standards have improved a lot in recent years, so more and more people travel abroad, so this is one of the reasons for the rise of tourism in recent years, and the number of tourists coming here has been increasing.

There is a particularly famous tourist city in Jiangxi, which is Shangrao. There are many places of interest here, especially Wuyuan, which is one of the most famous ancient cities here. It is also the most beautiful village and famous tourist attraction in China. I believe everyone has heard of it. But today we are not talking about Wuyuan, we are talking about another beautiful city that can rival Wuyuan.

So where is it? This is lead mountain county. It is located in the northeast of Jiangxi, near Shangrao, only 42 kilometers. It is also connected with other provinces, such as Zhejiang and Anhui. This county not only has a very good geographical position, but also has a large area and rich underground mineral resources, so it is a county with great development potential.

The transportation here is very convenient, and various transportation networks such as roads and railways are also very close to Shangrao Airport, and it is also very convenient to fly. Moreover, the most attractive place here is its long history and culture. The history of human activities here can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of the capital in the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, the earliest sprout of capitalism in the history of China was born here.

Because of its long history, this small county now has two national-level ancient towns. The first is Hekou Town, a commercial town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because the water transportation here is particularly convenient, goods from many places have to be transported from here, so it is also called "Eight Provinces Wharf". Now you can still see the ancient streets left at that time, the small bridges and flowing water unique to the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancient buildings with Ming and Qing characteristics in the town, all of which are very worth seeing.

The other is Shitang Town, a small town with developed handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty, which is dominated by handmade paper industry, so the early capitalist bud of China was born here. Today, it is also a cultural town with very beautiful scenery, which has the characteristics of a unique and beautiful Jiangnan town. Because there are many small towns nearby, which are very similar to Suzhou, it also has the reputation of small Suzhou.
