Hidden in Shengzhou, Shaoxing, is a pure land undisturbed by the hustle and bustle of the world - Chongren Ancient Town, a quiet place that seems to be in another world. There is no commercial hustle and bustle here, only ancient buildings and ancient opera stages from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, quietly telling stories of the past. 🎨When I stepped into this secret place, I saw a group of students sketching, focusing on capturing the charm of the ancient town. Apart from this, there were no other tourists, and this tranquility seemed to belong to me alone. 🏞️Chongren Ancient Town, originally named Xinghua Village, is a place full of poetry and stories. It is not only the "hometown of Yue Opera" and the "hometown of Go", but also the land of benevolence and righteousness of the Qiu family. During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Qiu family of Yimen moved here, advocating benevolence and righteousness, hence the name Chongren.
