Human Touch in Xinchang Ancient Town.

After 8 PM, most shops close, The streets become quite dark, and I felt a bit deceived by the night photos, Thinking that 'open all year round' meant brightly lit streets, It was a bit disappointing, I have to be honest, After all, this is a residential area, not a commercial district, There are no services available after 8 PM, But perhaps there are different arrangements during special holidays. Fortunately, I stayed at a nearby hotel, just a walk away, I decided to come back early in the morning, before the tourists arrived, A few places selling breakfast on the street, the less crowded streets were truly beautiful, The air was clean and refreshing, I explored thoroughly, Determined to walk every road, some marked historical buildings, Upon entering, they were just old and dilapidated houses. As I wandered back and forth (some alleys are passable), Some are just backyards where people do their laundry, I walked to another road and saw an uncle, Not wanting to retrace my steps, I asked if the road was passable, He said: No, this is my home, you should go that way. (I smiled awkwardly, thanked him, and left) But honestly, if it wasn't for this special trip, Otherwise, taking the subway here is quite far from the city center. It takes half an hour from Longyang Road Station to Xinchang Station, And the subway exit is not the ancient town yet, you still need to take a taxi. But the ancient town is indeed beautiful, and quite large, The light and scenery are best when there are no people around, After 9 AM, people start to gather, and the details are less noticeable, I really want to ask the residents what it feels like to live here, The environment is very simple and pure, not commercialized, There is also an ancient temple, Nanshan Temple, nearby worth visiting.
