Qibao Ancient Town

There are two entrances to Qibao Old Street, distributed on both sides of Qibao Temple, and they are connected inside. If you want to go to Qibao Ancient Town, you need to enter from the archway on the right side facing the temple. Walk inside for a few minutes, cross a bridge and you will arrive. Most tourists will enter from this side. If you want to go to Nan Qibao Temple, enter from the archway on the left. Scenery: 1. Cuanlai Bell: The Cuanlai Bell Tower is the first thing you see when you enter Qibao Ancient Town. On the first floor, you can buy a wish card for 20 yuan and go upstairs once. The wish cards are hung all over the long pavilion, and the tower is closed at 18 o'clock. 2. Pu Huitang Bridge: The bridges in the ancient town of p4 are pleasing to the eye both day and night! There are three bridges in parallel here, namely Anping Bridge, Pu Huitang Bridge, and Kangle Bridge. The Pu Huitang Bridge in the middle is the most exquisite and photogenic. At night, there will be light shining on the ripples reflected on the bridge, which is pleasing to the eye. 3. Nan Qibao Temple: It is a not-so-big temple that has already become independent. There are two ginkgo trees at the entrance of the temple. Inside, there is a place for worshiping Buddha and burning incense. The whole temple is surrounded by Sanskrit sounds, and the main hall has the smell of burning incense. Consumption: 1. Exhibition hall: The bell tower costs 20 yuan to go upstairs once + a wish card (hung on the long pavilion next to it), the cotton weaving and shadow puppet hall costs 5 yuan each (free for minors), and the Zhang Chongyuan Memorial Hall is free (closed on Monday, you can get a free ticket as soon as you enter, and you can finish the tour in a short while). 2. Shops: The colors of the street shops are bright, but the things are common nostalgic snacks, toys, ancient costumes, etc. 3. Food and drink: It's not difficult to fill your stomach. The shops here with clear prices are not expensive in the scenic area, 20-25 yuan for a bowl of noodles, 10-30 yuan for a drink, and 60-100 yuan for a cup of tea by the river. For those without a clear price, be sure to ask first, beware of assassins, but if you want to eat well, it is recommended to go out to eat. Qibao Old Street can be finished quickly, and there are no special foods, so there is no need to eat inside. Transportation: Bicycles/electric bicycles can pass through the ancient town, but it is not recommended because the road is narrow and there are many people, and it is easy to bump when turning! Three-wheel and four-wheel vehicles cannot enter. Photography: 1. The ancient town archway and bell tower are good for shooting, but people come and go easily into the lens, especially pay attention to avoid the square dance team around 19 o'clock. 2. The street is also crowded with people, not so good for shooting, it is recommended to raise the angle of view. 3. Pu Huitang Bridge is beautiful, don't stand on it and shoot, go to Kangle Bridge to shoot it, it's very photogenic. 4. No photography is allowed in the Zhang Chongyuan Memorial Hall.
