Yanzhou, a millennium-old town, is said to feel like stepping into the past

A small county town in the southwest of Hangzhou hides a more than 1000-year-old ancient town. I really hope more people know about this place. Meicheng Ancient Town Address: Jiande, Hangzhou Meicheng, formerly known as Yanzhou Prefecture, has a history of more than 1200 years and is on par with Hangzhou Prefecture. It is now a town under the jurisdiction of Jiande, Hangzhou. There are two and a half plum blossoms in the world, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing, and half in Yanzhou. It means that the city walls of Beijing and Nanjing (the capital) can be shaped like a whole plum blossom, and the city wall of Yanzhou is one layer shorter than the plum blossom city of the capital, which looks like half a plum blossom. The ancient town of Meicheng is very different from most imitation ancient commercial streets. The whole old city has a very strong atmosphere. The towering ancient archways in the city can be seen everywhere, which shows that this ancient city really has a deep heritage. When strolling in the city, you can hear people saying that coming here is like stepping into the ancient times. The millennium-old town built by Jiande with a lot of money is very sincere. Attractions recommended Ancient city wall of Meicheng: 1 The ancient city wall of Meicheng is a major feature of Meicheng and one of the best-preserved ancient city walls in Zhejiang Province. Tourists can climb the city wall and overlook the entire Meicheng, feeling the charm of the ancient town. 2 Meicheng Ancient Street: Meicheng Ancient Street retains a large number of ancient buildings and traditional styles from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tourists can stroll on the ancient street, admire the ancient architecture, and feel the traditional cultural atmosphere of the ancient town. Must-eat food Corn cake: The fried appearance is very crispy and glutinous! The fillings inside are stinky tofu and pickled vegetables! Yanzhou baked cake: There are dried vegetable fillings and meat fillings, you must eat it while it's hot, it's crispy and fragrant! Yanzhou glutinous rice cake: Glutinous rice wrapped with sesame and white sugar, with a layer of soybean flour on the outside, the sweetness is just right! Tofu bag: The tofu is slightly spicy and very delicious! Meatball: The meatball is made of meat and shredded radish. The meat is quite chewy, and the shredded radish is crispy and refreshing. It looks sticky, but it tastes really good!
