The Hometown of the Master, the Ancient Town of Anchang

The ancient town of Anchang has been rated as a Chinese historical town, a CCTV Chinese charming town, the hometown of Chinese master culture, a Zhejiang intangible cultural heritage theme town, and more. There is no charge to enter the ancient town. The three-mile-long street along the river is bustling with people, and the cured meat, soy sauce, and special snacks that were featured on the show A Bite of China are eye-catching and mouth-watering. Seventeen stone bridges and the black awning boats that shuttle back and forth make it seem as if time has gone backward. The City God Temple, the Master Hall, the Ethnic Style Hall, the Suikang Bank, the former site of the Bank of China, and the Stone Carving Hall hide a deep cultural heritage. Tickets are required for visits. Various cured meats, snacks, and soy sauce from Renchang Sauce Garden are also crowded with people. The ancient town is really nice. It seems that the ancient town's decision not to charge admission is a wise one. Looking at the crowds here, and then looking at the desolate state of those ancient towns that are still charging high admission fees, should the relevant departments wake up? Transportation to Anchang Ancient Town is very convenient, whether by high-speed rail or self-driving, and parking is CNY 10 per time.
