Huzhou, Zhejiang - Xiaoxi Street Historical and Cultural District - A gathering place for top scholars

❤Recommended Reason: Xiaoxi Street is the largest existing brick-and-wood structure residential area in the urban area of Huzhou. It has been recorded since the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen period in the 'Wucheng County Annals' that: 'South of Yifeng Bridge, straight west past Handu Bridge is Xiaoxi Street, which includes Youche Alley, Gao Alley, Shiluan Alley, Beiqi Alley, and Chaoyang Alley.' Each of the old houses here is a real historical relic. This place is a typical representative of the integration of historical architecture and modern culture. Various novel and artistic shops (cafes, bookstores, aromatherapy stores...) are hidden among the ancient buildings. Stroll through the streets and alleys, feel the beauty of architectural aesthetics, and pursue a cultural feast. How wonderful it is. During the Song Dynasty, Jia Anzai, the first top scholar from Huzhou, built his residence in Xiaoxi Street, making this place a gathering area for social elites of Huzhou through the ages. 'The King of Goldfish' Ling Xu's Ling Residence, 'The Silk Industry Magnate' Mo Shangqing's Mo Residence, and the famous silk merchant Shen Lianfang's Shen Residence are encountered every few steps. 🚉Transportation Strategy: After arriving at 'Huzhou Station' by high-speed train, you can take bus routes 13, 42, 55, or 25 to reach your destination.
