Youbu Ancient Town | Drive 400 kilometers just for this bite!

🥙 Youbu Ancient Town is really a food paradise It gathers the culinary essence of Quzhou and Jinhua Because the Quzhou and Jinhua regions are close to Jiangxi So the local cuisine has both the spicy flavor of Jiangxi and the fresh sweetness of Zhejiang ⛩️ Youbu Ancient Town is located in the central and western part of Zhejiang Province, at the junction of Jinhua, Lanxi, and Longyou, with convenient transportation. As early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Youbu had a wharf, and it has always been an important agricultural and sideline product distribution and trading place at the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Anhui, a commercial town, known as the 'first wharf upstream of the Qiantang River', one of the four ancient towns in Zhejiang for a thousand years, and the birthplace of the Qiantang River Poetry Road culture. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, famous for its traditional cultural activities, and there are many cultural relics and historic sites. The 'Yongji Bridge', 'Yongfu Bridge', 'Yongan Bridge', 'Taiping Bridge', 'Laoxi Bridge' built in the Qing Dynasty across the Taiping Creek in the town are collectively referred to as 'Five Horses Returning to the Trough', which is a unique feature in Jiangnan. The ancient village, ancient creek, ancient street, ancient bridge, and ancient houses are well preserved. The town still retains the previous way of life, waiting quietly for visitors from all directions. 📍Location: No. 46, Dajie, Youbu Town, Lanxi City, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province 🎫Ticket: No ticket required 🍲Recommended food: ▫️Guanxiu Su (Strongly recommend red bean flavor!) ▫️Preserved vegetable meat pie ▫️Lotus leaf glutinous rice cake ▫️Youtiao glutinous rice cake (Sesame, brown sugar, soybean flour are all delicious) ▫️Crispy pork belly (Bake and eat now!) ▫️Egg skin fried dumplings ▫️Quzhou roasted cake (My personal favorite!
