Strolling along Songyang Old Street, it feels like going back to the good old days of childhood.

The second stop of the West Zhejiang trip is Songyang. Songyang is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the central basin is known as the "Song Ancient Plain" or "Song Ancient Basin" for its openness and flatness. What to see in Songyang? The locals all say, go to see the ancient villages, stroll around the ancient city and ancient streets, and taste Songyang Dragon Boat Festival tea. Strolling along Songyang Old Street, I didn't expect any surprises at first. But after strolling around, I was attracted by its original local style. This ancient street is a microcosm of Songyang's history and culture, preserving a large number of buildings and cultural heritage from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and showing Songyang's farming and reading culture and commercial prosperity. The old street buildings are mainly white walls, black tiles, and wooden structures, full of simple and elegant atmosphere. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are two stories high, with brick walls below and wooden structures above, showing typical Jiangnan characteristics. There are also many ancient steles, stone carvings and couplets on the ancient street, recording the history and culture of Songyang. Many of the shops on the old street are still the homes of locals, and many of the things they sell are closely related to work and life, such as hardware tools, farming tools, bamboo woven products, clothes and bedding, etc., which have a life atmosphere and suddenly pull the memory back to the 1970s. A small alley, from south to north, from east to west, every family is familiar, everyone knows each other, and the things they buy are different, which makes people feel at ease. The geographical characteristics of Songyang make Songyang mainly based on farming since ancient times, so the local farming tools also have advantages. In the competition with surrounding counties and cities, they stand out and are of high quality. Come to Songyang, stroll around the old streets and alleys, recall childhood memories, slow down the pace of tense life, this is the harvest of travel.
