It’s such a pleasure to explore ancient sites in Xiangtan! Super niche old alley from the Qing Dynasty! The ancient alleys in Xiangtan are much better preserved than those in Changsha! Even many Xiangtan locals may not know about this old alley. I discovered it by accident. It is right next to the Jiangxi Guild Hall on the bank of the Xiangjiang River. - In this short alley of just 100 meters, there is a blue brick wall on one side and a cement house on the other; there are carved windows of Shikumen on one side and stainless steel anti-theft windows on the other. Walking in the alley, you will feel like you are traveling through time and space. - It is said that this alley was inhabited by two or three hundred people during its heyday🏠, but now only a few families remain These blue brick houses were built by Jiangxi merchants during the Ming and Qing dynasties. - There is also a vase-shaped door in the old alley, which is simple and beautiful.
