"Nanxun" Nanxun Old Town Visited Nanxun in nearly 40-degree heat. It was so hot! Nanxun is a great old town, but don't visit in such hot weather. It really affects the experience, and you won't feel like taking photos. Nanxun Old Town is free to enter, but some attractions inside charge separately. You can also buy a combo ticket. Xiaolianzhuang and Jiaye Library are CNY 25, Zhang Shiming's Former Residence is CNY 20, Zhang Jingjiang's Former Residence is CNY 20, Liu's Ladder Hall is CNY 10, and Yiyuan is CNY 10. We bought the CNY 80 combo ticket, which includes a CNY 50 voucher that can be used at designated stores. There are quite a few stores that accept it. I highly recommend this combo ticket with a voucher! I personally recommend Xiaolianzhuang, Zhang Shiming's Former Residence, and Yiyuan. Yiyuan is especially beautiful. It's like a hidden garden in the old town. I suggest entering from the south gate. The first attraction is Xiaolianzhuang. You can visit all the way through and exit from the east gate. We parked at parking lot 3 at the east gate, then took a taxi to the south gate for CNY 8. You can also take a boat. The water bus costs CNY 3 per person and runs every 30 minutes to the south gate. It's really worth taking, but we arrived late and couldn't get a ticket. I don't recommend taking the tricycles at the entrance. They cost CNY 10 per person. It's better to take a taxi to the south gate for CNY 8. Finally, I recommend the night cruise. It's CNY 30 per person and takes about 15–17 minutes. It starts after 5 pm. The night view is beautiful!

In this season of deepening autumn, I set foot on the stone road of Nanxun Ancient Town and embarked on a poetic autumn journey. As soon as I entered the ancient town, it was as if I had traveled through a time tunnel. The ancient buildings are arranged in a staggered manner on both sides of the river, and the white walls and black tiles are particularly quiet in the autumn sun. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling the story of the ancient town. Walking along the river, the river is clear and bottomless, reflecting the willows and ancient buildings on the shore. Occasionally a small boat slowly passed by, causing ripples. The boatman hummed a melodious tune, adding a vivid touch to this autumn scene. Walking into Xiaolianzhuang, the autumn colors in the garden are intoxicating. Although the lotus leaves in the pond are a bit withered, you can still imagine the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in summer. The trees in the garden have changed into colorful autumn clothes, and the red, yellow, and orange leaves are intertwined, like a beautiful picture. Walking on the winding corridor, feel the tranquility and comfort of autumn. Jiaye Tang Library is solemn and solemn, exuding a strong cultural atmosphere. In this autumn, it is like a wise man, quietly guarding the history and culture of the ancient town. Walking into the library, the ancient bookshelves are full of ancient books, which makes people feel the weight of knowledge. The autumn of Nanxun Ancient Town, without the hustle and bustle of summer, adds a bit of tranquility and depth. Here, you can slow down and taste the charm of the ancient town. Sit in the teahouse by the river, taste a cup of fragrant tea, enjoy the autumn colors outside the window, and feel the passage of time. The setting sun sets, and the afterglow is sprinkled on the ancient town, putting a golden coat on the entire ancient town. At this time, Nanxun Ancient Town is even more beautiful and moving, making people reluctant to leave. This trip to Nanxun Ancient Town made me deeply feel the charm of autumn. It is not only a season, but also a state of mind, a kind of insight into life. I look forward to the next encounter with Nanxun Ancient Town in autumn.

It is separated from Xiaolianzhuang by a river. This was built by Liu Chenggan, the grandson of Liu Wei. It was built in 1924. It has undergone the baptism of war, and the years have washed away. It took more than 20 years to collect 160,000 volumes of 600,000 volumes. The collection of books, which is a huge treasure house of China's history and culture, has provided tremendous support for research and development. Now it is managed by the Zhejiang Library and is a branch of the Zhejiang Library. Jiaye Library, the trees in the park are like the names here. They are immortal and have a sense of history. The towering trees are taller than three-storey buildings, and the branches are dense, even in the coldest winters. Still like a big umbrella, sheltering from the wind and rain. In the main hall of the Jiaye Building, the Kowloon Jinping of "Qin Ruojiaye" is hung. For Liu Chengqian, the most beautiful career is to see, collect books and build a bookstore. Therefore, this collection of books was named "Jiaye", which was given by Emperor Xuantong at that time. And this Kowloon Golden Jubilee is also a big treasure of Nanxun. One of the most distinctive places in the library building is that each window of Jiayetang is composed of six carcass characters of Jiayetang Library. The small details also reveal the careful thinking of the library building, which also reflects the difference of the southern architecture. The south is fine to the small details that you may not notice. It looks like a small garden, carefully strolling down, every corner go to.
