Jingtan Ancient Village in Qingzhou is ultimately an old-time that has been forgotten by the world

⛰️Name: Jingtan Ancient Village —— 🎫Ticket: 36.9💰/person (The price of electronic tickets may fluctuate) A simple ticket check is conducted at the entrance next to the ticket office. Upon entering the scenic area, there will be an old man checking tickets again when crossing the bridge, haha! —— 🚗Travel: As it is a relatively niche attraction located deep in the village, it is recommended to drive there, and there is a parking lot nearby🅿️～ —— 📮Preface: The second stop of my previous trip to Qingzhou, it was a place I chose after painstakingly researching. I always have an inexplicable fondness for such ancient and quaint attractions～ —— 🛠️Brief Discussion: Jingtan Ancient Village is located 15 kilometers southwest of Qingzhou city in Shandong Province, at the southern part of Wangfu Street Office. It is an ancient village that has undergone more than 600 years of historical changes and still retains relatively well-preserved ancient buildings with Ming Dynasty architectural style. • The ancient village is built against the mountain, relying on the Hengwangfu courtyard, forming an ancient architectural complex with Ming Dynasty architectural style and residential characteristics of the western mountainous area. The entire village is surrounded by ancient defensive walls made of green stones, with a castle (watchtower) built every 30 meters or so, providing self-defense capabilities. Centered around the seventy-two ancient houses of Wu Yibin, the son-in-law of the Prince of Heng during the Ming Dynasty, the village forms a unique group of ancient residential buildings with Zhang Family Courtyard, Wu Family Courtyard, and Sun Family Courtyard as the focal points. It also has well-preserved ancient stone bridges, wells, temples, and stone platforms. • The ancient village has a relatively weaker commercial atmosphere compared to other ancient towns I have visited before, with no internet-famous snack stalls or chain stores... There are a few restaurants and souvenir stalls at the entrance of the scenic area, and inside, there are mostly elderly residents living a leisurely life. Although there are also some small shops and stalls selling goods, they mainly offer food or handmade products, without many modern items... • The village is mostly paved with stone slabs, and the buildings are also mainly made of stone. My friend and I observed that the structure of the buildings is similar to the houses of the elderly in our village, but there are very few residences that are preserved as completely as here, most of which have been demolished or renovated, not to mention forming a unified style of architectural complex～ • Because it is not overly developed and promoted, there are relatively fewer tourists at this attraction, and perhaps because we went on a weekday, there were even fewer people～ This place is not suitable for special forces-style check-ins; it is recommended to take your time to explore and experience the slow life of the stone buildings and the village～ • Additionally, the ancient village was chosen as one of the filming locations for the TV series 'Red Sorghum' directed by Zheng Xiaolong, thanks to its simple mountain village charm and beautiful scenery. When I was searching for strategies, I also saw many friends' check-in photos 😆 —— 📚Conclusion: This is a forgotten village, where the elderly stay... Some gather at the bridge to chat, others sit on the wall to read a book～ You can sit down to eat a handmade pancake, drink a bowl of big bowl tea, or look at the bulk elm seeds and walnuts sold by the grandmothers～ It is a scenic spot, yet not a scenic spot 🪨～ Jingtan Ancient Village
