The charm of the ancient town is unique because of the New Year paintings

Yangliuqing of Shanggu, Yangzhou On a cold night, a guest arrives and tea is served as wine; the bamboo stove boils soup with the fire just turning red. The moon outside the window is the same as usual, but it's the New Year paintings that make the difference. The same ancient towns, but with different sentiments. Yangliuqing, the New Year paintings from my childhood, have been around for years. Mentioning Yangliuqing, that enduring image of the New Year painting is deeply etched in my memory. The Yangliuqing Ancient Town Scenic Area, located in the center of Yangliuqing Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin, is known as the 'Jiangnan of the North' and 'Shanggu Yangzhou'. The scenic area boasts several attractions, including the 4A-rated Shi Family Courtyard, the 2A-rated An Family Courtyard, the 2A-rated Yangliuqing New Year Painting Gallery, and the Yangliuqing Folk Culture Museum. Apart from the above-mentioned attractions which have an admission fee, the ancient town is open all year round for free. The ancient canal path flows past the village, and the town is small, peaceful, and tranquil. It is very suitable for walking with children and taking the elderly, inviting a few friends for a leisurely visit, especially for broadening children's horizons and understanding cultural history with more depth. The town is very convenient for eating, staying, and parking.
