Zhenyuan Ancient Town, the "Venice of the Orient"

【Zhenyuan Ancient Town: Travel Through 600 Years of Ink Wash Jianghu】 📍Recommended spots: 1️⃣ **Wuyang River**: Take a boat ride and meander along the river. The traditional houses with blue tiles and stilted buildings on both sides are reflected in the water. The lights are bright at night, like a "small Phoenix." (A must-see night view!) 2️⃣ **Qinglong Cave Ancient Architectural Complex**: Ming and Qing temples hanging on the cliff walls, integrating Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the town's Tai Chi Bagua layout. 3️⃣ **Shiping Mountain Ancient Lane**: Drill into the maze-like Sifangjing Lane and Fuxing Lane. The slab roads connect the old Ming and Qing houses with artistic cafes. 4️⃣ **Zhusheng Bridge**: A 600-year-old seven-hole ancient bridge. The couplet at the bridgehead, "Sweep away the smoke of the Five Streams," tells the story of vicissitudes. 🍜Foodie Surprise: • Sour soup fish (locals recommend "Gucheng Hongsuantang") • Tofu pudding + fried glutinous rice cake (the most authentic is the mobile stall at the entrance of the alley) 📌Tips: The free area is very large, and the entrance ticket to Qinglong Cave is CNY 60. It is recommended to stay in a riverside homestay, which is most beautiful in the early morning mist!
