One of the four major ancient towns in Zhejiang is in Yiwu!

One of the four ancient towns in Zhejiang, not many people know about it in Yiwu Recommended reason: Yiwu is the world's largest small commodity distribution center. However, this city, which does not rely on tourism for development, has occupied a place among the four major ancient towns in Zhejiang. Perhaps because of this, most people don’t know about it. This is the ancient town of Futang with a history of more than one thousand years. When I came here, the ancient town with its quaintness and strong commercial atmosphere gave me a new understanding of Yiwu. It is no accident that Yiwu has become the world's small commodity capital, but it has a thousand-year heritage. Highlights and Features: The ancient town is located in the southwest of Yiwu city, a 20-minute drive from the city center. Most of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River are of the "beautiful girl" style with small bridges, flowing water and houses, while Futang Ancient Town interprets its grand side with big rivers, bridges, commercial ports, etc., showing the demeanor of a "lady from a noble family". It is precisely because of its unique style that it has a place among the many famous towns and ancient villages in Zhejiang. Highlights: When I first stepped into the ancient town of Futang, the scene I saw made my eyes light up. The ancient houses with white walls, black tiles and horse-head walls formed a sharp contrast with the modern city. The change was so sudden that it caught people off guard, and there was an urge to walk into it. Most recommended: The entire ancient town is built along the Yiwu River, and a bridge combining Chinese and Western styles connects the two sides of the river. According to historical records, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, countless merchant ships have traveled on the Yiwu River. There is a floating bridge pier in Futang, which is not only an important ship berthing point on the river, but also an important commercial port on the river. Most recommended: With the convenient water transportation of Yiwu River, the trade of Futang was quite prosperous in ancient times and became a well-known commercial activity center. Some people called it the old Yiwu International Trade!
