The "Golden Keqiao" of Eastern Zhejiang 🌅
This ancient town with over 1,700 years of history is truly amazing!
Originating from the Eastern Han Dynasty's flute-making period, flourishing as a commercial port in the Tang and Song Dynasties,
and still thriving today. It's no joke that it's one of the province's first batch of historic and cultural towns~
🌉【Must-visit Attractions】
1️⃣ Three Bridges and Four Waters:
Rongguang Bridge is the centerpiece! Originally built in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty,
the bridge features exquisitely carved stone dragons 🐉
+ Yongfeng Bridge / Old Keqiao Bridge span the ancient canal.
Photo tips: best in the early morning or at dusk 🌇
2️⃣ Eastern Zhejiang Ancient Canal:
An ancient golden waterway for transportation,
you can still see cargo boats shuttling through ⛵️
Recommended: take a 15-minute ride on a black-awning boat (50 RMB/person)
3️⃣ Guanshu Zhijiang:
White walls and black tiles along the river are perfect for photos,
and the lanterns at night make it even more stunning 🏮
