Yangqiao Village

Although Yangqiao ancient town is far away from the urban area and can only be reached by car and walking for 1.5 hours, it is the only millennium old town in Jiangnan that has not been fully commercialized. The little-known Yangqiao ancient town has few tourists and is definitely a good place for people to nostalgic and take photos at will.

Compared with the famous towns and villages in the south of the Yangtze River, this ancient town, named after Nanyang bridge, has a single stone arch bridge in the south of the village. Although its size and historical and cultural accumulation are not top-notch, its biggest advantage today is its complete preservation. Walking in the ancient streets and alleys of the town, the ancient rivers, bridges, wells, houses, and even the doors, windows, eaves and corners of the ancient houses are still full of style and charm It's amazing. In addition, every household is full of red lanterns, which makes the quiet old town lively. You can use your lens to create, but don't disturb the local people.
