So, today, Bian Xiao brings you the introduction of Fengjing and Zhujiajiao, two ancient towns. See which of these two ancient towns is more interesting!
Fengjing ancient town (National 4A Scenic Area)
Advantage 1: Shanghai New Eight Scenes "Looking for Paintings in Fengjing"
As one of the new eight scenic spots in Shanghai, Fengjing naturally has this advantage. As described in this sentence, it looks like an ink painting from a distance, which is exciting. Walking in here, you will be in this ink painting, with white walls and black tiles, blue sky and white clouds.
The gurgling stream quietly passes through the ancient town, and the covered bridges, trees and pavilions on the shore stand clearly, dotted with this ink painting. In addition, every year during the Shanghai Tourism Festival, Feng Jing ancient town will hold water town weddings. If you come here, you can also feel the traditional Jiangnan wedding customs here.
Advantage 2: Try "Four Treasures of Maple Scenery"
As for "Fengjing Four Treasures of the Study", everyone who comes here must try it. Include yellow rice wine, diced hoof, dried bean curd and zhuangyuan cake. This is unique here. Even if you find it somewhere else, it's definitely not as pure as here.
In addition to these delicacies, there is also an acrosome workshop, which tells people about the making process of acrosome in the form of statues, so that you can understand the making and history of this kind of delicacies.
Advantage 3: Rich folk art exhibitions.
Look beautiful scenery, eat delicious food, and then have fun. You will never be bored here. There are rich folk art activities, including blue calico, furniture carving, paper-cutting, embroidery, weaving and other folk arts.
Are you surprised to see so much folk art, because it is also called the "cradle of folk art", which is true. Come here, enjoy these folk arts at close range, feel the charm here and blend in with the history here. This is the best travel experience.
Among them, blue printed cotton cloth is people's favorite and nostalgic. Visitors here will wear blue calico headscarves or carry blue calico bags. It seems that without these, we would not have been to the ancient town of Feng Jing.
Advantage 4: Pandora Universe Dream Museum
In addition to these traditional beauties, there are also modern beauties here. The most popular is Pandora Universal Dream Hall, where you can experience the fantasy world brought by naked-eye 3D technology and somatosensory interactive experience technology.
Including just visiting, film and television animation, animal fairy tales, maple scenery and humanities, gravity inversion room, past lives mirror, magic sofa, etc. To ensure that you can take unforgettable travel photos.
Advantage 5: Explore the artistic charm of peasant paintings.
This advantage is absolutely incomparable in other places. Jinshan peasant painting is the first of the four peasant paintings in China, with a high status, a long history and high artistic value.
With their own wisdom, local farmers skillfully applied ancient arts such as folk printing and dyeing, embroidery, wood carving and kitchen murals to paintings, and created a series of peasant paintings full of human feelings and life atmosphere with the living customs and labor scenes in rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River as the theme.
In addition, there is another wonder here, that is, the upside-down house here. What is an upside-down house? It means turning the whole house upside down on the lawn, including all the furniture and furnishings in the house. It looks amazing, giving people a sense of time and space disorder.
Zhujiajiao Ancient Town (National 4A Scenic Area)
Advantage 1: The "Lake Show" of Shanghai New Eight Scenes.
Of course, this is also one of the new eight scenic spots in Shanghai. Compared with the ancient town of Feng Jing, this ancient town has been rated as one of the new eight scenic spots in Shanghai, and its more characteristics are reflected in hydrology. There is the tenderness of the ancient town bridge, the beauty of the wetland park, the quietness of the pastoral landscape, and the pastoral feeling of combining mountains and rivers.
Advantage 2: Visit the lively "First Street" and "First Bridge"
As I said before, the best thing here is the hydrology here. If there is more water, there will naturally be bridges. The combination of small bridges and flowing water is absolutely inexhaustible. Among them, Fangsheng Bridge, known as "the first bridge in Shanghai", is the longest, largest and tallest five-hole stone arch bridge in Shanghai.
Walking across the bridge and the street here has a different feeling. There are as many as nine old streets here. One of the most famous is the "First Street" here, that is, the North Street, which is antique and the best preserved "First Street of Ming and Qing Architecture" in Shanghai.
Walking across the bridge and the street, you may wish to visit the business market town here. It also preserves the style and features of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The goods are complete and everything is available. Even if you visit for a day, you will not be bored.
Advantage 3: Grandma Zongzi and Zharou, which can't be missed.
After visiting the beautiful scenery here, you will naturally have a big meal. There is a well-known zongzi food here, which is also called "Grandma Zongzi" by people here. It is said that when making zongzi here, two or three grandmothers will always get together and sit on the street corner, bowing their heads to make zongzi. There are many kinds of meat stuffing jiaozi, egg yolk jiaozi and yellow chestnut jiaozi.
When you come, you have to eat and take a lot home. Besides zongzi, the food here is fried meat. Walking in the street, you can see it everywhere. Many shops are selling fried meat here, which is delicious and mouth-watering.
Advantage 4: Daqing Post Office sends "Time Travel" postcards.
After eating and drinking enough, it is natural to find a place to have a rest. You might as well sit in the post office and write a postcard. There is A Qing Post Office, which is one of the earliest postal organizations in Shanghai. Here you can also feel the appearance of the post office in Ming and Qing dynasties, as if it were a historical crossing.
Sit here, feel the development history of the post office in China, write a postcard for yourself or your family, and most importantly, feel the history and charm here.
Advantage 5: Go to Tandun's Water Concert Hall to listen to a concert.
After the break, you might as well have some entertainment to kill time. There is a "water concert hall" here, which is a good place to listen to concerts. It was built by the famous musician Tan Dun. The house is in the Ming and Qing dynasties style, with classical and modern music intertwined. This life is comfortable and elegant.
Walking inside, it looks like water curtain cave. The audience hall has two floors. The stage on the first floor is a pool of water, and the performers are like standing on a "water mirror". Tan Dun took advantage of this and integrated underwater sounds into music performances, so it was named "Water Concert Hall", which created a different audio-visual space for the audience.
In fact, in the end, the comparison between the two ancient towns has no meaning. These two ancient towns have their own characteristics. The ancient town of Feng Jing pays more attention to the inheritance of folk art, and Zhujiajiao pays more attention to the utilization and development of historical buildings, each with its own characteristics, which is a highlight of the ancient town of China.
