There is a well-preserved ancient street in Haining, Zhejiang

There is a well-preserved ancient street in Haining, Zhejiang, which is very worth visiting. Today I came to Haining, an hour's drive from Hangzhou, and found the Nanguanxiang historical and cultural block on the map, a place that seems to travel through time and space. "Nanguanxiang" is a special name. In ancient times, "guanxiang" and "chengguan" both referred to the residential areas outside the city gates, but they were called differently in different regions. The name of Nanguanxiang was derived from the Guanxiang built by Zhou Zongyi at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The current Nanguanxiang block is composed of the historical Baoxiu Square and Jinxiu Square. The well-preserved ancient buildings and streets of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a wooden door, a flower window, every detail shows a rich historical and cultural heritage. Walking on the ancient street paved with bluestone slabs, it seems that you can still trace the old appearance of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River, with shops in the front and workshops in the back, the historical style and traditional layout of small bridges and flowing water. Such a well-preserved ancient street is deserted and there are not many tourists. If it is renamed "Ancient City" or "Ancient Town", it may have become a popular check-in place on the Internet.
