Where to go for the weekend? Head to Qian Deng Town, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, to visit the Xiemaoqiao Ancient Town

Located about two kilometers south of Shipu in Qian Deng Town, Kunshan City, there is a village that in ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, became a certain market, historically known as Xiemaoqiao Town. Although Xiemaoqiao Town is small, it has some fame in the surrounding area. 'Songnan Records·Township Chapter' has a special section that says: The town is in the southeast corner of the county, bordering the Qingpu County boundary, with a bridge over the Shipu (river). It is said to have been built in the late Song Dynasty... The area around the bridge is densely populated, the soil is fertile and rich, the customs are frugal, the people are hardworking in farming, and the produced cloth is particularly good. Xiemaoqiao became a village town, and although it is no longer prosperous, its history cannot be erased. In its past history, it was a bustling ancient town, and where there is an ancient town, there must be an ancient bridge.
