The ancient Jiangnan water town named after "Wang Yangming" is the hometown of Wang Yangming. The Yangming Ancient Town Scenic Area is located in the old city of Yuyao, and consists of three major sections: Fuqian Road Commercial Street, Wushengmen Cultural Street, and Longquan Mountain Ecological Leisure Park.
The Wushengmen Yangming Cultural Commercial Street includes many former residences of famous people, including Ruiyun Tower, the former residence of Wang Yangming, one of the four sages in Yuyao, Qinghui Jiaqi Tower, the former residence of Ni Zongzheng, the Huangjia Wall Gate of the descendants of Huang Zongxi, and Hanlin House, where the descendants of Shi Hao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, lived for generations.
The Fuqian Road Historical and Cultural Commercial Street is a building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early Republic of China. It has been the commercial center of Yuyao since the Qing Dynasty, with many commercial companies. It was a prosperous fish market and commercial center during the Zengwu Republic of China period. Today, it has become a place for people to take photos, check in, and relax and entertain.
The Longquan Mountain Historical and Cultural Style Area includes Yangming Pavilion, Lizhou Pavilion, Lv Wen'an Temple, Zhongtian Pavilion, Longquan Stone Well, and the Four Sages' Hometown Monument.
The "Former Residence of Wang Yangming" in the Cultural Street is the birthplace of Wang Yangming, a great Confucian scholar in the Ming Dynasty. It retains the typical official architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. The former residence displays Wang Yangming's life, thoughts, works, and related historical relics. There is also the "Yangming Memorial Hall", a museum established to commemorate Wang Yangming, which displays Wang Yangming's life, thoughts, theories and cultural heritage, including his calligraphy, handwriting, notes, letters, relics, etc. Here you can not only see the official residences in Jiangnan, but also understand the philosophy of mind and the essence of traditional culture of Wang Yangming, a great thinker in the Ming Dynasty. The commercial street has various intangible cultural heritage experiences, including traditional handicrafts such as Yuyao cloth, wood carving, and paper cutting, as well as local opera performances. There are many folk activities to experience, such as dragon boat races, traditional temple fairs, folk lantern festivals, cultural festivals, and Chinese studies lectures, which attract tourists to participate in interactions. What is even more popular is the dazzling array of food experiences, which gather Yuyao and eastern Zhejiang specialty snacks, such as Liangnong cake, bean curd candy, Luji sesame cake, Dawang roasted pig's trotter, kohlrabi ash balls, raw pickled and cooked drunken, bayberry wine, etc. Visitors can taste authentic Ningbo food. The most famous food is Langxia soy milk, which is said to be "the best in the world". The signature beef soy milk has plenty of beef in the salty soy milk. You can also try the soy milk soaked fried dough sticks. There is also the yellow croaker noodles at Heji Noodle House, which uses freshly killed small yellow croaker to make soup and is served with hand-rolled noodles, which is fresh and delicious.
The ancient town commercial district does not charge admission and is open all day free of charge, and it is even more lively at night, with a strong sense of fireworks.
Yangming Ancient Town is still very unique, with historical sites, delicious food, and a festive atmosphere. Langxia soy milk is very unique. It is the first time I have eaten salty soy milk with beef or mutton cubes. It feels a bit like tofu pudding and a bit like egg custard. It's a pity that it is closed on Mondays and some venues cannot be visited.
