The forgotten ancient town of Changzhou--Jiaoxi

Jiaoxi, the ancient town of a thousand years, is located in Jiaoxi Village, Tianning District, Changzhou City. One river, four bridges, five streets, and thirteen alleys are the characteristics of the ancient town. The river is misty, the years are slow, the unconstructed vines climb wildly, and the original yellow mud walls are mottled, telling the full story of the past town. There are some modern elements in the village: coffee shops, teahouses, fragrant leek pancakes. When passing by, why not give yourself time, immerse yourself in the fragrance of flowers, and steal half a day's leisure in this ancient town. Changzhou Jiaoxi Town Changzhou, a small and original ancient town that few people know about. Changzhou Jiaoxi Ancient Town is a civilized ancient town with a history of more than 700 years. It is also the best preserved ancient town in Changzhou with a southern style, and its natural scenery. Walking into the ancient town, walking through these old alleys, you will feel the original simplicity here. The ancient villagers, due to local conditions, piled up huge stone walls. The ancient houses along the street are well preserved, and each family's door tower has brick carvings and window grid wood carvings, characters, landscapes, folk tales, and the carving craftsmanship is exquisite. The old houses built by the river have different levels, heights and lows, and have a sense of rhythm. Green bricks, black tiles, old wooden doors that have been eroded by wind and rain and can't see the color, and the wild trees growing in the broken walls... Hundreds of years of wind and rain have created the depth and introversion of the ancient town. Jiaoxi Ancient Town is located at the junction of Changzhou, Wuxi, and Jiangyin. It has a history of more than 700 years of civilization. It may be due to transportation and local development. It has not been baptized by commerce and is rare and quiet. It is expected to be the upcoming popular ancient town! The intact Ming and Qing buildings in Jiaoxi are as many as hundreds of blocks. The "one river, four bridges, five streets, and thirteen alleys" are still intact. Jiaoxi Old Street is divided into southeast, northwest and middle streets. Most of the houses use yellow stone blocks produced locally in Heshan as the wall base, which forms the unique feature of Jiaoxi houses in Changzhou area--the impression of stone houses. The earliest of the existing four ancient bridges is called "Sanyuan Bridge", which was built in the early Qing Dynasty. Here, it seems to have stepped into the Jiangnan of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
