Zhenru Ancient Town is the only ancient town located in the urban area of Shanghai, with more convenient transportation than Fengjing Ancient Town, Qibao Ancient Town, and Zhujiajiao Ancient Town. However, after visiting, it's found that Zhenru Ancient Town can be called the least typical ancient town , and of course, it is also the most down-to-earth ancient town . Zhenru Ancient Town has a long history, with more than 900 years of history. During the Ming Dynasty, the Zhenru area had already begun to see human habitation and commercial activities. In the Qing Dynasty, the Zhenru area gradually became a commercial distribution center. In the early 20th century, due to its unique geographical location and good commercial atmosphere, Zhenru became an important commercial center within Shanghai. The atmosphere of the current Zhenru Ancient Town is scarce, and it is completely a residential area with simple decorations. Although the feeling of the ancient town is gone, it is very down-to-earth, with a strong sense of life and reasonable commodity prices. Zhenru's mutton is very famous. If you have the chance to pass by Zhenru, you can try the mutton restaurant there, the taste is quite goo

🏠 Zhēnrú in Shanghai can be said to be the least like an ancient town. Rather than calling it an ancient town, it is more integrated with the city life of the residents. The first episode of the Zhēnrú weekend travelogue, the original Zhēnrú, wanders in the ancient town in the city. ————————— Name: Zhēnrú Ancient Town Address: 100 meters east of the intersection of Lanxi Road and Yangchang Beach in Zhenru Town, Putuo District, Shanghai Transportation: Walk 1km from Exit 5 of Zhenru Station on Line 11 Tickets: Free Opening: All day ————————— 🏠 Zhēnrú Ancient Town is more than 700 years old. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was a heavy town where merchants gathered, so it was also called 'Copper Zhēnrú'. As the only ancient town within the middle ring of Shanghai, there are only a few old buildings left, but there are still many remaining marks, corridors, roofs, tiles, ancient temples, and ancient architectural styles are worthy of the name of the ancient town! 🌟 This may be the least like an ancient town The biggest difference from other ancient towns is that it may not be like other ancient town gathering areas, with a lot of ancient buildings. The ancient town architecture and style are not so obvious anymore, although they try to preserve, some plaques and roofs on residential buildings and street merchants, leaving a trace of the ancient town, the endless stream of cars at the gate of the ancient town, let people feel the modern breath. 🌟 There's nothing a meal of mutton can't solve When winter comes, there's nothing a meal of mutton can't solve. The strong and flavorful white-cut mutton, a bowl of mutton soup sprinkled with garlic leaves, and a few sips of mutton noodles, the whole body is warmed up. The full moments of happiness overflow the screen, without saying much, if you have the chance, you must try the mutton of Zhēnrú, the Zhēnrú mutton restaurant still retains the simple and ancient taste, very satisfying, very delicious, don't miss the chance. 🌟 More beautiful scenery is integrated into daily life The people are full of human touch, full of life, the residents live and work in peace and contentment, all the beautiful scenery is integrated with city life. You have me in you and I have you in me, there are many small shops on the street, attractions hidden in them, not only can you see people's life scenes, enjoy the beautiful scenery, taking photos and checking in is another city style, it has a different taste. 🏠 Zhēnrú weekend travelogue, there is more to explore, we will continue in the next issue, charge❗️
