Stroll through the Yuehe historical district and feel the historical memory of a city

🌈Highlights: Yuehe is a tributary of the canal, named for its water 'curving around the city like a moon'. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yuehe area has formed a bustling market, with lights on both sides of the river, official boats and merchant ships shuttling endlessly, a scene of prosperity at that time. Today, the district still retains many well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings, with carved beams and painted rafters, antique and full of charm. It is precious to have a piece of historical memory in the center of the city. ✅The district has small rivers, ancient bridges, narrow alleys, old residential houses, and covered corridors, all of which are complete, like a miniature version of an ancient town, displaying a strong water town atmosphere. Of course, like the old streets in most cities, Yuehe Old Street also has a commercial vibe to some extent, with the noise of hawking accompanying the ancient bridges and small rivers, as if the lively scenes of the past are reenacted. ✅Zongzi is a traditional Chinese delicacy with a long history, and Jiaxing Zongzi is famous far and wide. In the district, there is a Zongzi museum where you can learn about the history and culture of Zongzi. The front part is the museum, and the back part is the actual production site of Zongzi, combining product production, sales, and historical and cultural displays. 🎫Ticket Information: Yuehe Old Street is open-style and free to visit. There is also a flower and bird market in the district, where the prices of bouquets are not expensive, and it is also worth visiting. 🚗Address and Transportation: In Jiaxing city, take bus 8 to Jiahu Orthopedic Hospital (Yuehe Historical District West) station, or take buses 5/18/22 to Hehuadi station.
