Wandering through Qianhua Ancient Village | The scenery is beautiful and there are few people - amazing

Qianhua Ancient Village: It looks prosperous, but there are few people - a travel guide Transportation 1. Drive to 'Jiangsu Jurong Baohua Mountain National Forest Park', about 45mins from Nanjing city center 2. Take Metro Line 2 to Jingtian Road, then transfer to bus 606 Accommodation After taking night photos, it's quite late, you can stay directly near Qianhua Ancient Village, there are many homestays to choose from, and the environment is quite tranquil. In the early morning, you can enjoy the good air of the mountains. If you have time, experience 2 days and 1 night here, you can feel the real slow life. Old Zheng's Review: Under Baohua Mountain in Jiangsu, Qianhua Ancient Village, as well as Longchang Temple on the mountain top, both names are very auspicious! Without meeting, I imagined an ancient town bustling with noise and excitement as the lanterns first come on. In ancient Wu and Yue, almost every famous temple with a thriving incense trade would be matched with a bustling ancient town, complementing and accompanying each other. However, when I actually visited, I realized that this place is just a retro attraction. At night, taking photos alone in the village, it's empty, under the cold moonlight, the blood-red lanterns sway slightly. I believe the original ancient village must have grown naturally over thousands of years. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly, was pushed down and started over, the old village became a new village, and then the new village took on an ancient appearance. Various pavilions and buildings, a large area of retro architecture, a lot of money and effort were spent. The overlapping eaves, the tiles seem to be free, creating a labyrinth of intrigue like in Spirited Away. The high and low steps, covered with irregular bluestone slabs and cobblestones, built along the mountain as if naturally formed, but the movement layout seems artificial. This operation, at first glance, is blueprint first, then reality. It can't withstand scrutiny, let alone taste. Many shops are empty, with red lanterns lit at the door, as if ghosts and spirits are coming to meet. However, to recreate the prosperity of the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, how easy can it be? Trying to go retro, like rowing against the current, is very easy to mess up. The emotional value of nostalgia should be built upon a genuine sense of time. Fortunately, that night's moonlight was genuine. But young people might like it here, few people, it looks prosperous, and it's easy to take photos. Under the cover of night, the simple contours and atmosphere can somewhat soothe the weary body and mind.
