Shaoxing•Anchang Ancient Town｜Half City of Fireworks, Half City of Poetry

Shaoxing•Anchang Ancient Town｜Half City of Fireworks, Half City of Poetry.||🔷Anchang Ancient Town: One of the four famous ancient towns in Shaoxing, its architectural style inherits the typical characteristics of the Jiangnan water town, with its simple and elegant charm. It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and is the hometown of Shaoxing's master scholars. The most distinctive feature is the small bridges of Anchang, among which the most famous are the three bridges named Fulu, Wan'an, and Ruyi. When a girl from the ancient town gets married, she must walk through all three bridges. 🔷I have visited many ancient towns in Jiangnan, but few have the lively atmosphere like Anchang Ancient Town. The three-mile street market along the river still retains a rustic lifestyle. The staggered verandas, ancient alleys, and various arch bridges and stone beams have withstood the test of time, maintaining their simple and ancient appearance. 🕗︎Opening Hours: All year round, all day 🎫Tickets: Free, some internal attractions require tickets for entry 📍Place Name: Anchang Ancient Town 🧭Address: Anchang Town, Shaoxing City 🔷Transportation 🚌Bus: You can take bus No. 118 from Shaoxing city to Anchang Ancient Town in Keqiao District, get off at Anchang Hotel Station, cross the road, and you will reach the ancient town.
