Songgai Ancient Town: Traverse through a millennium, savor the historical charm!

💥Songgai Ancient Town: A thousand-year treasure hidden by the Yangtze River💎 🏞️On the banks of the Yangtze River, there lies an ancient town that has stood for a thousand years—Songgai Ancient Town! It got its name due to Emperor Qianlong's misreading of Songgai (ji), and this pronunciation has been used ever since. Not only is it renowned as 'a prestigious ancient town, ten-mile-long old street, a century of stories, a millennium of culture, along the vast Yangtze River,' but it is also a national historical and cultural town and an intangible cultural heritage tourism town!✨ 🚶‍♀️Strolling through the ancient town's bluestone alleys feels like traveling back a thousand years. The black tile carvings and the simple charm hit you in the face, making it hard to leave. 📜When it comes to the historical relics of Songgai Ancient Town, they are indeed too numerous to count! Yuwang Temple, Tangwan Street residences, the old site of Songgai New Textile Factory... each place carries a profound historical culture. 🏛️A special recommendation is the Luo Family Ancestral Hall, where the vermilion doors, stone lions, and the plaque of 'Luo's Ancestral Hall' all convey the depth and dignity of traditional ancestral hall culture. 🎁Of course, there are many special local products in the ancient town worth seeing and buying! For example, Yangtze River stones, Xiong's steelyards, Songgai straw weaving, etc., are all unique marks of Yongchuan. 💖The most delightful thing is that this treasure of an ancient town is open for free! No matter when you visit, you can always feel its charm.
