Zhejiang West·Yanzhou Prefecture｜Educational entertainment, experience a thousand years of history and culture

Zhejiang West·Yanzhou Prefecture, with a history of more than 1700 years, was one of the top eight prefectures in Zhejiang West during the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the southern Zhejiang and northern Jiangsu, where there are many ancient towns and water towns, it is far less famous than Wuzhen and Xitang, but it has a bit more tranquility. Yanzhou ancient city is located north of Wulong Mountain and south of Fuchun River, with beautiful scenery. Fufu Street and Zhengda Street lead to Qiaolou in the north and Chengqing Gate in the south. Along the way, there are many archways, such as Sanyuan Archway, Zhuangyuan Archway, Jiande Hou Archway, Sifan Archway, Han Chun Fuzhi Archway and Lixue Mingbang Archway, which show the glory of the past. There are many snacks on Zhengda Street, among which Jiande Tofu Bag and Yanzhou Roasted Cake are the most famous. Local restaurants seem to not turn on air conditioning during the day, and the indoor temperature feels even colder. In the winter afternoon, the sun is shining, and it is very comfortable to stroll leisurely on the streets of the ancient city. Or find a teahouse, boil tea around the stove, and talk about life. Climb up to Chengqing Gate, overlook the confluence of three rivers (Fuchun River, Xin'an River, Lan River), walk along the city wall, and enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan. The Nanfeng Tower, rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, stands still across the river. 🏯Yanzhou Ancient City/Meicheng Ancient Town Meicheng Ancient Town 📍Zhengda Street, Meicheng Town, Jiande City, Hangzhou ⏰Business hours: 24 hours open 🎫Ticket price: free entry and exit, free tour 🗺️Tour recommendation: Cao's Ancestral Hall, Yanzhou Zhuangyuan Mansion, Liuhe Ancient Well, Zhu Kezhen's Old House, Kuixing Pavilion, Zhejiang University's first stop in the westward move. 🏨Homestay recommendation: Huajian Mansion·Hu Hengmao, horse-faced wall, bluestone slab, deep experience of the late Qing merchants' residence, once the century-old firm of Yanzhou Prefecture. 🚘Traffic guide: Depart from Hangzhou along the Changshen Expressway to the "Yangcun Bridge" exit, the whole journey is 122km, and the journey takes 1.5 hours. 📌Play suggestion: Recommend a day trip, the cold winter trees wither, you can choose the boat project according to personal conditions.
