Dongchang Prefecture prospered because of water. The moat outside the city accumulated water to form a lake🛶.

Four ancient streets are connected to the lakeshore by arch bridges, and the unique water city landscape is intoxicating. Guangyue Tower was built in the seventh year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty. It is a classic work of wooden tower architecture🎉, with an important status in the history of architecture, and is known for the reputation of 'even Huanghe Tower and Yueyang Tower should bow down in respect'. 🎞The ancient city also has 35 museums with different themes, such as the Ming and Qing Imperial Edict Museum, Fan Zhuxian Memorial Hall, etc., known as the 'City of Miniature Museums'.
