Dreams of Shangyu—Dihua Ancient Town Cultural Tourism Area

Nestled along the ancient Shangyu trade route, Dihua Ancient Town is a maze of cobblestone alleys and serene courtyards that quietly narrate a thousand years of history. At dawn, the aroma of tea wafts from old teahouses, as if still carrying the traces of silk caravans and the jingling of camel bells. Step inside, and the carved wooden windows cast dappled shadows, while the wooden tables and chairs seem to echo whispers of the past. In front of the ancient opera stage, traditional melodies occasionally drift through the air, their lilting tones transporting listeners to a bygone golden era. Strolling along this once-bustling trade route that connected the north and south, one can feel the weight of time—the bustling commerce has faded, leaving behind a rich cultural legacy and the gentle touch of history. Dihua is like a softly recited ancient poem, making it hard for visitors to part.
