In the future, consider retiring in this ancient city full of vibrant life

I can't help but share this treasure with everyone again—Yanzhou Ancient City (Meicheng Ancient Town) in Jiande. 🚗 It's a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou, or just 40 minutes by high-speed train, to reach this confluence of the Fuchun, Xin'an, and Lan Rivers. This place doesn't have the crowds of West Lake in Hangzhou👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, but it boasts scenery that is in no way inferior to West Lake. Only by visiting Jiande in person will you realize that there are such fun places around Hangzhou! 🎫 Ticket: Free 🕙 Opening hours: All day This ancient city at the confluence of three rivers is low-key and niche, yet it has stunning views. It is even known as the "Dali Ancient City" of Hangzhou. Climbing up the city tower, you can overlook the street scenes of the ancient city and take in the magnificent scenery of the three rivers. In the evening, taking a boat ride through the ancient city's waterways is simply too pleasant😌. The ancient city also has many Jiande specialty foods: tofu buns, baked cakes, mochi, corn cakes... You can eat to your heart's content for just 20-30 yuan per person, so much so that you'll be walking away stuffed🤣! 🎈 Travel tips: 1. The photos taken from the city tower are super beautiful, so don't miss it, ladies. You'll get amazing shots📷. 2. There are flash performances, acrobatics, and other shows on the old street, scheduled for both morning and afternoon. If you like watching performances, you can wait for them. 3. The old street of the ancient city is free, but you need to buy separate tickets for the Qing Post Office, De Culture Museum, and Poetry Road Culture Museum.
