[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Zhang Taiyan Former Residence (Updated May)

In Hangzhou, a city full of poetry and romance, the Dream Town in Yuhang District is like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm. When night falls and the lights come on, Dream Town is transformed into a dream world, and the newest fountain night view is even more intoxicating, becoming a check-in destination for countless tourists and citizens. ​Dream Town is located in Cangqian Street, Yuhang District. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage. It is the former residence of the democratic revolutionary "Zhang Taiyan" and also has the historical relics of the "Four No Granaries". The town perfectly combines ancient culture with modern innovative vitality. It is not only a cradle of dreams for entrepreneurs, but also a great place for tourists to explore the beauty of the collision between Jiangnan style and modern fashion. Walking slowly along the stone road of the town, you will see quaint old houses from the south of the Yangtze River on both sides of the road. The white walls and gray tiles look particularly quiet under the light. The shops along the street are brightly lit, some exude a literary atmosphere, while others emit tempting aromas of gourmet food, making people slow down and immerse themselves in this leisurely atmosphere. Before we knew it, we arrived at the Music Fountain Square. ​When the melodious music slowly sounded, the fountains seemed to be given life and began their wonderful performances. The water column rises and falls with the rhythm of the music, sometimes as gentle as drizzle, sometimes as majestic as a waterfall. The colorful lights reflected from the bottom of the water, dyeing the water column into gorgeous colors, red like fire, blue like gems, green like jade, interweaving into a dreamlike picture. ​At the same time, the lights are constantly changing, perfectly matching the rhythm of the fountain, decorating the entire square beautifully.​​ In addition to the musical fountain, other night scenes of Dream Town are equally charming. The town is filled with crisscrossing rivers, with lights on both banks reflected on the river surface, sparkling like a flowing painting. Walking along the river, the breeze blowing on your face brings a hint of coolness, making you feel extremely comfortable. The buildings in the distance, outlined by the lights, show a unique contour, a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with both the gracefulness of the Jiangnan water town and the fashion of a modern city. ​The Dream Town at night is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a place to relax the soul. Here, people can temporarily forget the troubles of life, immerse themselves in the beautiful night view, and feel the unique charm of this small town. Whether you are with your family, friends, or alone, the fountain night view of Dream Town can bring you an unforgettable memory. If you come to Hangzhou, don't miss this dreamy place and experience the dreamy date of light and water for yourself!

The ancient town of Cangqian was formerly known as Lingyuan. In the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1132), the government built the Lin'an Convenience Warehouse in the north of the street. In ancient times, the south was the front, so it was called Cangqian Street. It has a history of more than 880 years. Although its affiliation and construction have changed several times, the name Cangqian has been used all the time. The old street has the former residence of Mr. Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies, and the Qian Airentang Pharmacy, which was involved in the Yang Naiwu case in the late Qing Dynasty. As one of the first experimental fields of Zhejiang's 100 characteristic towns, the second phase of Yuhang's "Dream Town" - Cangqian Old Street has undergone a huge transformation in terms of appearance improvement and soul reshaping since the beginning of 2016. After more than five months of hard work, Dream Street has been renovated in accordance with modern office requirements and implanted with Internet genes, while fully preserving existing resources such as Zhang Taiyan's former residence and ancient streets. Dream Street, with its glass ceiling and colorful neon lights, is the main road after the renovation of the old street. At the end of Dream Street is a green rice field, symbolizing the field of hope. On the other side of the rice field is a large pond, reflecting the night scene and neon lights of the old street. The newly built old street adopts the method of restoring ancient buildings to their original state, creating an Internet co-creation space of more than 40,000 square meters with the charm of Jiangnan water town, focusing on technological innovation fields such as smart hardware and software, and mobile medical care.

Zhang Taiyan was a master of Chinese studies in modern China, known as a great Confucian master and a master of philology, whose scholarship and revolutionary achievements are immortalized in history. Zhang Taiyan's former residence in Cangqian is a national key cultural relic protection unit with four entrances and one alley. The second entrance, Fuyatang, was the public space of the Zhang family, and the name of the hall means to be unconventional and uphold justice. The third entrance was the study. The Zhang family was a prestigious family, a scholarly family for generations. With the inheritance left by his ancestors and the superb medical skills of three generations, Zhang Taiyan lived a comfortable and affluent childhood, studying the classics and adhering to philology. He practiced calligraphy on square bricks with clear water every morning. At the age of 23, Zhang Taiyan went to Hangzhou to study, and later devoted himself to the revolutionary and academic career, becoming the most learned revolutionary. He was hunted by the Qing court seven times and imprisoned three times in his life, but he remained steadfast, known as "Zhang the Madman" and "the only one of his kind in the world." Zhang Taiyan was a prolific writer, with profound achievements in literature, history, language, medicine, education, and other fields. His calligraphy was also highly accomplished, especially in seal script.
