Gaoyou, Yangzhou, the ancient courier station Yucheng Post

When strolling on the streets of Gaoyou, you can always feel the unique postal culture of this small city: the sculpture of the letter delivery in the south of the city, the statue of the messenger holding the documents in the city, the Yucheng Post we visited, is the best preserved ancient post station in the country with both water and land transportation. It integrates post station, mansion, transportation, canal transportation and other functions, covering an area of more than 16,000 square meters. It is composed of gate, drum tower, warehouse, gift room, post cheng house, post soldier house, horse god temple and other buildings. It has now been listed as a national key cultural protection unit.

Although Yucheng Post is not large, it is the only ancient postal culture display in our country. In the post house, wandering in the ancient courtyard, ancient post well, ancient courtyard, ancient archway and other relics, compared with today's logistics and express industry, it really feels that the changes are too fast, the sea has changed into mulberry fields.
