| Get closer to Yangming and embrace life. Yangming Ancient Town is a Jiangnan ancient town rich in history and culture. It retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and aims to promote and inherit Yangming culture. It integrates history, culture, and food, and is unique.
Bathe in the warm autumn sun and step into the ancient Yangming Ancient Town, strolling on the bluestone road. The white walls and black tiles on both sides, with their simple and elegant architectural style, tell the vicissitudes of history. At the same time, the entry of modern cultural enterprises such as the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum has also brought innovation and development to Yangming culture.
Yangming Ancient Town has traditional wooden buildings, and each carving has a unique meaning and symbol, such as koi fish symbolizing abundance, and dragon heads symbolizing prosperity.
When night falls, the ancient town is lit up. Unlike the simple style during the day, the streets are decorated with lanterns, creating a world of light and shadow. The folk lantern festival is a special event in Yangming Ancient Town during the Chinese New Year, with various animal lanterns that are exquisitely shaped, intricately crafted, and brightly colored. Many local residents and tourists come to enjoy this visual feast.
