Mingyue Shantang, the highlight is a "cross-border" bridge

A bridge spans two mountain ponds, one step north across is Jinshan, Shanghai, and one step south across is Pinghu, Zhejiang. At first glance, the ordinary old street in the south of the Yangtze River, because of a bridge linking the two "Shantang Villages" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has also been able to leave its own name in the history of a hundred years, perhaps this is also a kind of favor of fate. Shantang Village's Shantang Bridge, under the Shantang Bridge is the Shantang River. The river and bridge are shared, the village name is the same, but the village indeed belongs to the jurisdiction of two different administrative regions. For a hundred years, the villagers on both sides have been friendly, and it is common to have a "cross-border" marriage. Now, they are also working together to manage the river area and develop tourism products, and it seems that they are going to carry out the "cross-border" to the end. The name of Mingyue Shantang is nice, and the environment seems to be going for the small and fresh. There are not many ancient relics in the village, the most highlight is probably the two hundred years old Shantang Bridge. Only twenty-two meters, twelve long stone slabs are pieced together, simple and sturdy. The light sense of the stone after years of grinding, just like the rural life here, there are highlights in the ordinary. The old street is only a hundred meters short, and it has gathered various common shops in the south of the Yangtze River. There are snacks, groceries, haircuts, and even a rowing club, but I don't know if it's because it's not a holiday, most of the shops are not open. It feels like Nanshantang is developed better, and as I walked, I saw a half-acre pond, and the large lotus leaves finally brought a bit of visual refreshment to the hot afternoon. The entire old street has not been fully developed, so it is not recommended to go there specifically. If you go to Jinshan or Pinghu, you can come and see it by the way, and it's quite good to leave a Zhejiang-Shanghai cross-border group photo on the Shantang Bridge. Tips: Friendly to self-driving, free parking at the entrance of the village🆓
