A lesser-known ancient town in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

🎈Hey guys! Today, I want to strongly recommend an ancient village in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai that is truly lesser-known but super amazing—Daitou Ancient Village in Yongjia. 💖 🌳When you step into this ancient village, it's like entering a corner forgotten by time. Backed by Jiuluo Mountain, with its red cliffs, it's incredibly majestic; facing Wushan, the mountain is lush and green, like a natural green barrier. 💚 The water here is as clear as jade, reflecting the ancient village's appearance. 😍 📜The history of Daitou Ancient Village can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. The Chen ancestors migrated from Lishui Qingtian to Zhuyan Village, and the ancient village was built during the Yuan Shundi Zhizheng period, over 700 years ago! 😮 Time has left deep marks here, giving it a unique charm. 👀There are many attractions in the ancient village. The Chen Ancestral Hall is solemn and carries the family's honor and heritage. 🎊 Jicui Ancestral Hall, Yuhou Ancestral Hall, Qu Lu, and other ancient buildings each have their own characteristics, as if telling stories of the past. 💬 Huazhu Ancestral Hall (also known as Luban Ancestral Hall) shows the ancient village's respect for craftsmanship. 👏 ⭐The most prominent is the "Songfeng Shuiyue" gate tower, located on a hillside near the highest point of the ancient village, Wolonggang. Standing on Wolonggang, you can overlook the ancient village, with its orderly ancient buildings, and the tranquility and beauty are simply intoxicating. 🥰 The gate tower is exquisitely carved, with vivid patterns of bats, sika deer, pine trees, willows, orioles, etc., symbolizing blessings, prosperity, longevity, and happiness. There used to be five gate towers here, symbolizing the arrival of five blessings. Although only three remain after years of change, they still exude unique charm. ✨ 🌳The big camphor tree at the village entrance is like a kind old man, welcoming guests from all directions. Although it doesn't attract much excitement, it adds a mysterious atmosphere to the ancient village. 😎 📍Address: Dayan Town, Yongjia. 🚘Navigation: "Daitou Ancient Village," free parking. 💵Tickets: Free, 10 yuan to enter the Chen Ancestral Hall. If you're looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle, where your soul can truly find peace, then Daitou Ancient Village in Yongjia is definitely a must-visit. Come and experience the unique charm of this 700-year-old ancient village! 🎉
