The living Qingming Shanghe Tu: the thousand-year-old Songyang Old Street

"The blue tiles always remember the old rain, the red umbrellas are nowhere to be seen in the alleys, the land the wind blows over becomes history in an instant..."
If you want to talk about where to visit in Songyang, I would recommend the Songyang Ming and Qing Ancient Town.
The ancient street is more than 600 meters long.
There are two-story wooden buildings on both sides of the street. They are old buildings left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. It is one of the few old streets with villagers' markets that have not been commercialized. It is like a vivid Qingming Shanghe Tu. The scenery is different when you walk there during the day and at night. Many celebrities have checked in here.
There are 80 seconds in a minute on the old street. The daylight here also becomes slow. Time flies and years pass, but the old street remains the same.

The unique atmosphere of the old street, the smell of fireworks, customs and human feelings have slowly fermented and evolved into the taste of hometown over the long years. Life here is a small circle, warm and loving, simple and casual, just like life itself, which is about the daily necessities of life.
The nearby Wenli Street District is fun to visit. It has the Confucian Temple, City God Temple, art gallery, and Wenqu Children's Book House, which is rich in cultural and historical sense.
