Introduction to Hanling Ancient Town:
Hanling Old Street is located in Hanling Village, Dongqianhu Town, Ningbo City.
Qianhu Scenic Area is about 20 kilometers away from Ningbo City. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a lake on one side. The mountains and rivers are interdependent.
Hanling Village has a long history. It is said that a person named Han lived here in the early years.
Got its name. During the reign of Wang An in Yin, the lake boundary was rebuilt, and Hanling Village had formed a regular market every five and ten days. When Shi Hao, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1140), passed through Hanling to his ancestral home, Xia Shui Village, he left behind a sentence in the book "East Lake Mountain Tour" that "there is a village in the middle, named Hanling, and the fishermen's songs, woodcutter's and ax sounds echo with each other", which shows that Han Ling Market was already well-known at that time. In the following hundreds of years, Hanling was an important transportation hub and land and water transshipment center connecting Ningbo City to Xiangshan Port.
Hanling Village is a well-preserved typical ancient water town in eastern Zhejiang.

Food recommendations
There are quite a lot of snacks in Hanling Old Street, including rice steamed buns, fried chicken legs, spinach rice cakes, magnolia jelly, pickled vegetable sesame cakes, mochi, orchid skewers, sizzling tofu... I highly recommend pickled sesame seeded meat sesame cakes (from my cake shop, But there is a long queue), rice steamed buns and mochi. I also like the rice cake here. The texture of the rice cake is particularly delicate and soft. I have to buy a baked rice cake every time I come here.
