【Ziyang Street｜Taizhou Memories in the Ancient City】

[Ziyang Street | Memories of Taizhou in the Veins of the Ancient City]

When entering Linhai Ancient City, the first thing that strikes one's mind is often Ziyang Street, a street that traverses time. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, it has been the city's bustling axis, carrying the hustle and bustle of merchants and the daily life of the city for thousands of years. Today, it remains bustling with people, creating a unique atmosphere that blends the past and the present.

Stone-paved streets stretch beneath your feet, lined with old houses made of blue bricks, gray tiles, and wood, interspersed with memorial archways, ancient wells, and opera stages. During the day, the teahouses, bookstores, pharmacies, and cloth shops lining the street still evoke traces of the past. At night, the red lanterns and neon lights intersperse, and the soul of the old street seems to be awakened again.

The most captivating aspect of Ziyang Street lies not only in its rich history, but also in its ability to blend the tranquility of an ancient city with the bustle of the modern world. You can pause at the ancient stage and imagine the roar of drums and music in the past, or you can enjoy a bowl of steaming beef soup at a food stall and listen to the locals chatting in Taizhou dialect.
