2⃣️This is also the source of the Qinhuai River, with a deep foundation. Take a walk in the old streets and alleys to see the local traditional customs, to see a special ancient style performance, and to order a snack when you are tired.
⏩Longchang Temple
Behind Qianhua Ancient Village is Baohua Mountain. The peaks here are stacked, shaped like a lotus, and there is a famous temple of the Lu Sect in the mountain - Longchang Temple. It was built in the first year of Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty Liang, and it has a history of more than 1500 years. Although the preserved buildings are not too old, the beamless hall of the Ming Dynasty has also made the ancient temple successfully become a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Outside the temple gate, there are two ginkgo trees over 400 years old, standing side by side. It's autumn and the air is refreshing. The whole tree is golden and decorated in the mountains. It's so beautiful.
📷Recommended photo spots:
✅Yangliuquan staircase, with a strong sense of hierarchy, it is recommended to shoot from top to bottom, especially out of the film.
✅Qianlong Year Exhibition Hall, there is a row of red lanterns, you can shoot the taste of the big gate.
✅The long street under the corridor, there are many red lanterns, also very out of the film
➡️There are many snacks in the scenic area, Zhenjiang pot lid noodles, maltose, radish cake, fried tofu are worth tasting.

It takes about 50 minutes to drive from Zhenjiang city, and public transportation 606 bus can reach the entrance of the scenic area
🏨Accommodation strategy:
It is recommended to stay in the homestay in the scenic area, such as Rufeng Inn, a very ancient style homestay, and the environment is also quiet.
When I stayed, the front desk lady said that it was free after five o'clock. I came over in a hurry and spent two tickets. There are not many people in the ancient village, it is suitable for people who like to take pictures and punch in the past, but the source of Qinhuai is clear, and the shore is full of green trees. The performance of acrobatic magic at night is worth watching. I like to travel leisurely.
It is worth a visit. However, Qianhua Ancient Village is a completely newly built so-called ancient village. It is easy to be happy without expecting too much. Longchang Temple must go up and see. There are two ginkgo trees for more than 400 years. You can learn about Luzong and see the Liangless Palace and the Jietai. The tour guide fee is divided into two parts, the ancient village and the Longchang Temple, each 60, and the sightseeing bus is 20.
The first point is that Zhenjiang is difficult to walk to Qianhua Ancient Village. The second point is that there are very few people, the publicity is not enough, the catering snacks are mostly, and the store has insufficient food. The third environment is better, relatively large, and the night tour has beautiful lights. The fourth point is very worth going to Longchang Temple on the top of the mountain.
See the thousand-year-old temple in the mist, the heart is like a lotus flower, everything is clear and peaceful
The scenery is pleasant, antique, very suitable for bringing children, the elderly should be more beautiful at night
Worth going, very good, good scenic spot, not too many people, niche landscape, the price inside is OK, parking is convenient
