A rare and popular treasure place in Shanghai ｜ Luodian Ancient Town

Luodian Ancient Town was first built during the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, and has a history of more than 600 years. Due to its prosperous commerce, it was once known as the "Golden Luodian". It has a well-developed water system, a quiet environment, and simple folk customs. Luodian is known as the "Three Bays, Nine Streets and Eighteen Lanes". The streets are connected to the lanes, the lanes are connected to the bridges, and the bridges are connected to the rivers. Walking through the lanes and alleys, you can reminisce the antiquity and legend. The environment of the entire ancient town is very quiet and quaint, and it blends well with the style of the Jiangnan water town. Walking past the shops and residents on the street, nine out of ten houses are closed, looking particularly quiet and indifferent. The ancient town has two main streets, one is Shihe Street and the other is Tingqian Street, which are distributed on both sides along Shihe River. Datong River connects the two sides of Shihe River. The newly built water town buildings on both sides of the river are connected together, full of the charm of the Jiangnan water town. Taking a stroll through the ancient town, you can see mottled brick walls, exquisitely carved doors and windows, and shaded corridors everywhere. Everywhere you look, you can feel the tranquility of Luodian Old Street and the attention Luodian people pay to life.
