Travel guide to Shanghai Xinchang Ancient Town

Xinchang area was originally the south field of the Xia Sha salt field, which was a place where salt farmers used sea water to sun-dry salt. As the beach gradually extended, the salt field gradually became a place for salt farmers to live and exchange goods. Its prosperity once surpassed Shanghai County, and it was known as "Xinchang Ancient Town surpasses Suzhou", and it was the largest town on the Pudong Plain at that time. Later, due to changes in the salt field and wars, it experienced several ups and downs, but Xinchang Town is still a very cultural Jiangnan water town. The narrow river that runs through the ancient town of Xinchang, the exquisitely carved stone arch bridges, the houses built by the water, the high stone revetments, and the saddle-shaped water bridges of the houses along the river are very charming. 1. Come to Xinchang to enjoy peach blossoms and taste delicious food Every year in April and May when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, you can also go to Xinchang Taoyuan located to the west of Xinchang Town and Hunan Highway to enjoy the peach blossoms. At noon, you might as well go to the restaurant in the peach garden to taste the "old eight dishes" and experience the deliciousness of farmhouse dishes. Nanhui "old eight dishes" is a very characteristic farmhouse dish in Nanhui, including three yellow chickens, oily meat, trotters, salted meat, braised duck, black fish, meat skin soup and melon pancakes, and the rice is salty and sour rice (vegetable rice). 2. Follow the movie "Lust, Caution" to find the old days The trend of "Lust, Caution" spread from the cinema to the shooting location. Many viewers who have watched the movie have the impulse to see the shooting location in the play, and follow the movie to experience the atmosphere of "Lust, Caution". After seeing the location, if you are still very "into the play", you might as well go to the Hongfu Bridge to have a cup of tea at the Qingfeng First Teahouse to calm down. The old teahouse has a three-story antique floor. You only need to spend a few yuan to chat, eat melon seeds, and drink tea. There is also a storyteller on the first floor. With a folding fan and a wake-up wood, "The book continues..." With the breeze and the setting sun, it is another good time.
