Dinghai Ancient City is a thousand-year-old ancient city with a long history and numerous historic sites, and it is also a famous island cultural city in China. In the ancient city, there were historical blocks such as Middle Street, West Street, East Street, Chaishui Lane, Liufang Road in Ming and Qing Dynasties, scattered with many ancient monuments, leaving the footprints of talents and celebrities of past dynasties. In history, it has always been a military fortress. In addition to the Anti-British War, there are also a number of historical relics of the Anti-Japanese War and the Anti-Qing Dynasty. Dinghai is full of talents, and nearly 100 celebrities such as Zhu Baoshan, Liu Hongsheng and Dong Haoyun have appeared in history. Zhongxi Street: It is a very famous old street in Dinghai. The growth process of Dinghai, a famous historical and cultural city, is remembered in the body of the old street. The old street is not wide, with layers of old houses on both sides, lined with century-old shops at a time. The slightly curved old street seems to grow endlessly, like a girl bending over enchantingly when she can't hold back her laughter. Neighborhood: West Street and Middle Street in Dinghai were commercial markets in the late Qing Dynasty, with a street width of 4 or 5 meters, which were considered real commercial streets at that time. There are upper and lower floors and a wooden structure of the fire wall, and the eaves corridor on the second floor is a place overlooking the bustling scene of the market. Zuyin Temple: Located on Changguo Road, Dinghai, it is known as the "First Ancient Zen Forest in Wengzhou", covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many peculiarly shaped former residences such as the former residence of Lanli, the former residence of Dong Haoyun, and the former residence of Liu Hongsheng. Dougong, gate, hall, doors and windows, caisson are all unique.
