The underestimated Yancheng night view: Water Street

On my first visit to Yancheng, I was deeply attracted by the night view of this northern Jiangsu city. It's not only the low-key and hidden Water Street, but also a kind of calm and leisurely life atmosphere. Life is about enjoying the present! Whether it's the monks who are quietly copying scriptures in the pavilions, or the actors performing Huai opera 'Tooth Mark Record' on the stage, they all make people feel a strong sense of worldly life. At the circular dock by the Chuanchang River, take a wooden canopy boat and slowly pass by the attractions such as 'Floating Boat Opera Garden', 'Water Cloud Pavilion', etc. The outlines of the antique buildings with flying eaves appear in front of you, the artificial river meanders between the buildings, and you can also meet the staff dancing in Hanfu. The garden-style architectural complex of Water Street, the entire architectural style is antique, the waterway is winding, the pavilions stand by the water, the walls are made of clay green bricks, the roof is made of green tiles or glazed tiles, equipped with aluminum alloy antique doors and windows, showing the water town style of Yancheng and the historical and cultural features of sea salt. Every night from 7:00 to 9:00, Huai opera fans will perform here. Citizens who come to watch the opera and enjoy the cool are endless. Whether it's ancient costume drama or modern small drama, there are citizens coming to appreciate it every night. Opera performance has become a major feature of Water Street. The night in Yancheng makes people linger.
