Longtan Water Town: Chengdu's Zhouzhuang Wuzhen

Longtan Water Town is a carefully designed and built 'Jiangnan Water Town', located in the core area of Longtan Headquarters Economic City in Chenghua District, Chengdu, covering an area of 220 acres, with a total investment of about 2 billion yuan, built over 4 years, the scale is equivalent to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, the largest supporting project of Chengdu Longtan Headquarters Economic City, the only characteristic block in Chengdu central city area built with live water resources. Longtan Water Town occupies a unique geographical position and superior natural environment. It is another cultural tourism card created by Chengdu after Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, and East Suburb Memory, and is known as Chengdu's 'Qingming Shanghe Tu'. However, Longtan Water Town scenic area is very unpopular, not many people, occasionally see a few girls wearing Hanfu taking pictures here, do not worry about others unintentionally in the picture. Entering the ancient town from the side door, the building is still that building, the street is still that street, the tree is also the original tree, still free, but the things are not the same, not so fragrant. Most of the storefronts are tightly locked, and there are only about two hot pot restaurants and river fresh for dining. The most popular project is drinking tea and playing mahjong. Along the street, middle-aged and elderly men and women are as comfortable as sunbathing in their own yard. That feeling is very subtle, just like tourists going to Hengdian in the off-season, people drinking tea also look like extras. The once crowded Longtan Water Town is so unpopular that there are dams and open spaces for tea guests. On the best winter weekends, there are few people inside. It's not completely cold, there's a kind of self-satisfaction after loneliness. Drinking tea, taking wedding photos, live streaming, recording MV, a bit unexpected. Perhaps, Longtan Water Town is still waiting for a chance to turn over. A middle-aged and elderly couple who came to visit Longtan Water Town strolled and commented, giving their own suggestions, 'If it's like Luodai Ancient Town, it won't be like this now'. It's just a point of view.
