How to visit Tangqi Ancient Town in 2024? This guide is good

As for Tangqi Ancient Town, I believe that friends who have visited Hangzhou in depth will have visited it. It was once the first of the "Top Ten Famous Towns in Jiangnan". Its history was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it had become wealthy by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Speaking of which, Tangqi Ancient Town is quite interesting. This is because the ancient town was named "Tangqi" because it is "living on the pond". When water transportation was developed in ancient times, its reputation was well-known and it was admired! However, with the decline of water transportation and the rise of industrialization, Tangqi Ancient Town could not keep up with the pace and gradually declined! However, as the saying goes: gold will always shine! After continuous reconstruction, Tangqi Ancient Town has gradually formed 12 famous scenic spots including Guangji Bridge, Qianlong Imperial Stele, ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Granary Museum, He Sijing Memorial Hall, and Linfang Chronicle Museum. With the blessing of Tangqi loquat and pastries and dried goods, it has gradually returned to its "top stream" position since 2020, attracting everyone's attention! After arriving at the ancient town, you can enjoy the willow branches in spring, pick loquats in summer, enjoy good luck in autumn, and taste the flavor of the New Year in winter. The loquat wine, rice balls with glutinous rice flour, Tangqi pressed duck, shredded eel, and fine-sand lamb tails of all seasons will make you indulge in them and never forget them! Friends who are visiting for the first time can follow the route: Tourist Service Center - He Sijing Memorial Hall - Tangqi Loquat Industry Expo Hall - Shitang Street - Guo Pu Well - Guangji Bridge - Shuibei Street - Yuhang Local Records Museum - Imperial Stele Park - Grand Canal Barn Museum - Lu's Original Site - Imperial Stele Wharf - Qianlong Imperial Stele and Water Conservancy Tongpan Hall Site - Unnamed Bridge - Shitang Street - Tourist Service Center. After a tour, you will find the ancient town with flowing water, ancient bridges, Chinese wooden houses, historical sites, cakes, museums and other elements. Along the streets are buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, making you feel like you are traveling through a historical painting! The Guangji Bridge, in particular, is a highlight. It is the only remaining seven-arch ancient stone bridge on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, connecting the north and south banks of the ancient canal town. Looking around, you can see the houses in neat and uniform rows, a bit like the scene in "Dreams of Splendor", as if you have returned to ancient times. If it is evening, it will be even more exciting, because at sunset, there will be a beautiful visual experience of the tenderness of the setting sun and the water village, which will make people happy! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
