严州府·状元楼(西门街店)

Yanzhou Prefecture, once known as one of the "Three Auxiliary Prefectures of the Capital" along with Hangzhou and Shaoxing Prefectures, lies at the confluence of the Xin'an, Fuchun, and Lan Rivers, serving as the strategic gateway between ancient Huizhou and Hangzhou. Since its establishment during the reign of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it has been a key administrative and military center. Over the past 1,800 years, it has produced numerous talented individuals, including renowned prefects such as Lu You, Fan Zhongyan, Du Mu, and Liu Changqing. Few people know about Yanzhou Prefecture these days; even Hangzhou locals have barely heard of it. This is because, during an administrative merger, Yanzhou Prefecture was incorporated into Jiande City, and has since faded from public view. However, it is precisely this transparency that has allowed Yanzhou Prefecture to preserve its history to the greatest extent possible, maintaining a relatively complete prefectural structure. Along the central axis of the ancient city, city walls, towers, streets, shops, memorial archways, and other buildings are arranged in an orderly fashion, like a flowing, faded scroll. Climb the tower for a panoramic view of the ancient city: in the distance, there are vast mountains, rivers, and pagodas, while in the near distance, there are warm lights, crowds of people, and memorial archways. It embodies the beauty of nature and the richness of human culture. The 13 memorial archways in the ancient city each have their own unique origins, stories, and unique charm. Sanyuan Archway was built by the people of Yanzhou to commemorate Shang Lu, the Prime Minister who achieved top honors in the provincial, metropolitan, and palace examinations, ultimately ascending to the rank of Prime Minister. Sifan Archway commemorates the Northern Song Dynasty statesman Fan Zhongyan, commemorating his achievements during his tenure. Its plaque bears the inscription "Worry first, then joy." The newly restored Longshan Academy, also built by Magistrate Fan, still evokes the spirit of the brilliant and elegant Song Dynasty. Yanzhou Ancient City boasts a diverse array of delicious food, but unlike typical commercialized ancient cities, it focuses on local specialties like tofu buns, Yanzhou sesame cakes, and corn cakes. Enjoy the food as you walk and shop. There are street vendors, upstairs dining options, open-air restaurants where you can enjoy opera and dine, and even the top-rated Yanzhou Mansion, the Zhuangyuan Building. #CityMostBeautifulNightView #NationalDayTravelDiary #WhereToGoThisWeekend #AncientTownsAndVillagesWorthyVisits #PhotographyGuide
