May Day Ming Shui Ancient City Travel Guide | A historic ancient city with springs

Ming Shui has always been known as the "Little Spring City". When you step into the gate of Ming Shui Ancient City, there is an illusion of being in a painting, as if traveling back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. 🌿The entire ancient city is surrounded by water systems, quaint and charming, not only with water wheels, pavilions, and towers, but also with black-awning boats shuttling through the ancient city. 🛶Small bridges over flowing water, willow banks, black tiles, green bricks, oil-paper umbrellas, a black-awning boat rippling on the emerald waves, the boatman dressed in Hanfu calmly rows the oars, the boat leisurely passes under the stone arch bridge... 🍃Walking on the stone-paved road, you can visit Meng Family Mansion, Meng Hongsheng Cloth Workshop, Wansheng Furnace Foundry, Yamen, Wei Chuan Pharmacy, Chang Yuan Soy Sauce Garden, Yi Xiang Zhai Oil Workshop, Mo Dou Tofu Workshop, Rui Fu Xiang... Behind each shop, there is a historical story. You can also experience intangible cultural heritage skills up close. 🥢For snacks, you can try hanging oven baked buns, spring water mutton soup, Quan Cheng scallion roast, good luck cake, candied hawthorn, Ou Yu, iron pot roast, and so on. 🏠Accommodation recommendations: Ancient City Hotel, Shuang Quan Hotel, Bian Gu/Ming Shui Inn, Yi An Inn (Qing Zhao Culture), Xing Mu Inn, Meng Family Inn, etc. Staying here also offers: free rides on the scenic area's electric cars, multiple entries and exits from the scenic area during your stay, complimentary luggage consignment service, reduced parking fees at the scenic area, enjoy the quiet morning of the ancient city, and enjoy an exclusive viewing area for the Quan Show performance. ⭐️At night, be sure to watch the Quan Show performance. With the city as the scene, the spring as the soul, and the characters' stories as the context. You can enjoy the spring scenery, classical music and dance, poetry voice-over, drone performance, high-tech lighting and sound, breaking the shackles of time and space, it is a moving chapter from ancient to modern times, a breathtaking audio-visual feast! For the May Day holiday, take your family to Ming Shui Ancient City for a stroll.
