Hexia Ancient Town with 2,500 years of history

Hexia Ancient Town is an ancient town in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province. It has a history of 2,500 years, and began with the digging of a canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River. It is also related to the Grand Canal of Beijing, a World Heritage Site.

The old-fashioned streetscape is wonderful and well-maintained. Also, since it is not in a big city, there are not too many tourists and there is little trash, so I was able to spend a comfortable time there.

There is also a memorial hall for Wu Cheng'en, the creator of Sun Wukong, adjacent to the ancient town. I feel that Sun Wukong is deeply rooted in China.

I recommend it as an ancient town.
