"Fireworks" | Cangqiao Straight Street, Shaoxing
I love the dusk in Jiangnan
Where the happiness of ordinary people is most touching
The prow of the black awning boat
The green tiles
The revolving lantern
The window lattice
All are fireworks

~Cangqiao Straight Street, Shaoxing~
There is a neighborhood where every corner is filled with irreplaceable local life and fireworks. Here, you can see the relics of an ancient city and experience the real life of the locals. Some people praise it, saying that in its deep and quiet streets and alleys, in the faint light of its small bridges and flowing water, the historical context is inherited.
It is the Cangqiao Straight Street Historic District in Shaoxing, which some netizens call "a living display of Chinese heritage" and won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Conservation Award in 2003.
Rivers, houses, and roads are its core components, and the old streets in the center of the old city are its most recognized symbol. Internet-famous check-in spots, a must-visit for literary youth, a good place for kids, and the ancient charm of Yuexiang CBD... are all new labels given to it by people today.
