As someone from Zhejiang, I've known about Longmen Ancient Town since I was a child, but I've never been there because it's not a very famous tourist destination. I bought a Zhejiang Cultural Tourism Card, which includes the entrance fee, so I decided to visit. We bought the Zhejiang Cultural Tourism Card for 51 yuan, which covers many scenic spots, so we didn't need to pay any extra fees to enter. To be honest, I really like the atmosphere of the ancient town. It's not overly commercialized, but as a paid attraction, it's not well-maintained. Many dilapidated old buildings haven't been properly restored or protected, making many areas look messy. However, I still like it. Strolling through the town, I felt like I was back at my grandfather's house when I was a child. Apart from tourists, there are almost no young people living in the ancient town, but the people there are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The snacks are good too. After arriving, I learned that Fuyang produces badminton rackets, so I bought one. The price was fair, and the quality was good. The owner of Sanzhen Specialty Snacks was very easygoing. After we finished our meal, he even gave us a discount. It was the first time I'd eaten at a scenic spot where the owner offered a discount. And the food was delicious, with reasonable prices. The fermented glutinous rice with bean curd is also worth trying (at Wumei Fermented Rice Wine Bureau). I wasn't planning on going in, but when I got to the entrance, it started to rain heavily, and the owner invited us in to take shelter. We could look around without having to buy anything. Since we were bored, we ordered the fermented glutinous rice with bean curd. It was pretty good, not a bad choice. In summary, the maintenance of the scenic spot is not very good for an ancient town. Even the parking lot and tourist center outside are tidier than the inside. However, there are many small scenic spots that are still worth seeing. Also, if you don't enter through the ticket gate, you might not have to pay. (When we reached the end, we saw a large entrance/exit that didn't seem to require tickets, near Longmen Stationery. You can try it. See the last picture.)

Sun Xiaomei's Former Residence, also known as "Yishun Hall," was built during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. It was the residence of Sun Rongdi, the second grandson of Sun Bingyuan, a successful candidate in the imperial examination. As Sun Rongdi's courtesy name was Hengfeng, the residence is also called "Hengfeng Residence." Locals refer to it as the "Seven Generations of Scholarly Family." The renowned anti-Japanese martyr Sun Xiaomei and the modern scholar and writer He Manzi were both born here. Yishun: Yi means pleasant and harmonious. Shun means respectful and obedient. The Book of Rites states: "When arriving, lower your voice and speak pleasantly, inquire about their clothing and comfort"; and "If parents err, lower your voice and speak gently, offer advice softly." Yishun signifies filial piety.

When we got there, wow, the whole ancient town retains the old style, bluestone roads, wooden houses, and the small river that slowly flows through the center of the town, it's so beautiful! We first wandered around in the ancient town and found that many small shops sell very delicate handicrafts, such as bamboo baskets, handmade cloth shoes, and each item seems to have a story behind it. I also bought a few souvenirs for my home, thinking that I could keep a memory when I go back. What I remember most is the snack street in the ancient town, which is simply a paradise for foodies! There are all kinds of local snacks, such as fried stinky tofu (although the name sounds a bit strange, but it tastes really good), sweet osmanthus cake, hot sugar-fried chestnuts... I tried everything, and I was so satisfied! We had lunch in an old shop that looked very old, and ordered a signature dish - steamed fish, the meat was fresh and tender, and it was delicious with the homemade sauce from the shop. After lunch, we also experienced the local tea culture, sat in a quiet teahouse for a while, drank a few cups of fragrant tea, chatted and relaxed, it was so cozy. In the afternoon, we participated in a short walk organized by the tour guide, walked around the path outside the ancient town, enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery and simple buildings along the way, and felt healed. At sunset, we sat by the river and rested, watching the sky slowly turn golden, and the river shimmering under the sunset, it was incredibly peaceful and beautiful. In short, this trip to Longmen Ancient Town was really worth it. Not only did I appreciate the charm of Chinese traditional culture, but I also enjoyed the happiness brought by food and beauty.

I set off early in the morning before the social news at the East Station, and the taxi driver I met after arriving in Fuyang turned out to be from our old Xiang, what a coincidence This place is really a bit funny, right next to the charged entrance there is an alley, one second before the uncle at the gate tells you about the ticket fee and the next second you enter the ancient town through the alley right before his eyes and he won't say anything. It's like an unspoken absurd humor, haha The deep-fried gluten stuffed with meat is delicious, and the wheat cakes, although made the same way as the pancake stalls on the street, have a completely different fragrance because of the different flour used, giving off a waffle biscuit aroma when just eating the edge of the cake, how magical The ancient town is neither big nor small, quiet and pretty. Apart from the old street, most areas are residential, so often turning into a small corner feels just like going back to the village at home The only pain is the cobblestone road which is too painful to walk on >< Even someone like me who can easily walk an entire afternoon got hurt after walking for just two or three hours here, I wonder if the local villagers feel the pain walking on such cobblestone roads every day, even riding an electric scooter must be bumpy enough to make your butt hurt

After touring the ancient town and returning home for the New Year, the winter self-driving tour of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces is completed.

"An ancient village on the undercurrent, a warm and healing world" . ‼ ️If I were asked to choose my favorite ancient town within a 1-hour drive from Hangzhou, Without any hesitation, it was Dipu and Shenao! (They are next to each other) I’m very happy that you all like the Dipu Village that I shared in the last article. The nearby Shen’ao Ancient Town is also very beautiful. I highly recommend it! . ✨There are not many tourists during holidays. Unpopular ancient town ✨1 hour drive from Hangzhou West Lake, right next to the highway exit ✨A good place for a low-cost vacation ✨The most lively ancient town I have ever been to~ . “If you feel that your current life is not satisfactory, come here and take a look.” 📍Hangzhou.Tonglu.Shen'ao Ancient Town . This is the most contrasting travel destination I have ever been to! The ancient town of Shen'ao in the camera is in a Chinese horror style, with white walls and black tiles, grotesque wood carvings, and narrow alleys. But what we feel is steaming, relaxing and free: . In the Qing Dynasty residence, the old man who was listening to the radio hummed a little tune to the rhythm. Beside the lotus pond of the Ming Dynasty, an energetic old man was enthusiastically competing in chess, and a burst of cheers was heard. The commercial streets of the Republic of China have long since evolved into shops and residences for craftsmen. At the entrance of the ancient ancestral hall, there is a sloppy market with fruit stalls and spice carts. Under the majestic archway, the old-fashioned popcorn truck spit out brown rice rolls. I bought a big bag for 15 yuan and held it in my hand, recalling the joy of my childhood. . As the largest village in Tonglu, villagers have lived here for generations without leaving the house vacant. Compared with other ancient towns I have visited, Shenao has a vibrant vitality. It did not wither in loneliness, but took root in the soil and blossomed... . The faith that ancient craftsmen spent their entire lives carving has not been erased by time.

👉🏻At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous scholar Yan Ziling visited Longmen and was amazed at the beautiful scenery here, and couldn't help but sigh: 'The mountains here are clear and the water is beautiful, better than Lv Liang Longmen.' In admiration, he gave this beautiful place a loud name - Longmen. Longmen Ancient Town 🏞️Tracing back the thousand-year history of the ancient town, the descendants of Sun Quan, the emperor of the Three Kingdoms Wu, with diligence and wisdom, inherited the spirit of their ancestors' pioneering and hard work, and turned Longmen into the 'Peach Blossom Garden' of the Sun family. With the protection of Longmen's mountains and rivers, the Sun family eventually developed into a large family in the south of the Yangtze River with more than 2,000 households and more than 7,000 people, now owning a well-preserved group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is a famous ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River🏘️ 🏡Longmen Ancient Town is located at the foot of Longmen Mountain on the Fuchun River, about 16 kilometers away from Fuyang. It is one of the 'Ten Sceneries of Fuchun'. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains on all sides. More than 90% of the villagers in the ancient town are descendants of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, who have settled here for more than a thousand years. The people are simple and honest, and the whole town still retains a rare group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River. 🌿Longmen Ancient Town is a typical example of the ancient clan settlement pattern in our country. Over the past thousand years, with the flourishing of the Sun family, it has gradually formed a 'hall and house combination courtyard centered on the hall'. The family tree records that from Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms period to the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the Sun family has proliferated to 65 generations. Over the centuries, through the construction of each generation of each room, from a large family settlement, it has formed today's ancient town. ——————♥Must-visit attractions in Longmen Ancient Town♥————— ✅Old Street Rural Feelings This nearly three-mile-long, three-meter-wide market has always been prosperous, with most of the shops being front shops and back workshops, front shops and back residences.

Within an hour's drive from Hangzhou, I am immersed in the simple beauty of the mountainous ancient town. Yanglongmen Ancient Town is only about 30 kilometers away from my residence. It is the closest well-preserved ancient town to me and a destination I frequently visit. I still remember the first time I visited in the evening. Sitting in the courtyard of a local house, the space enclosed by high walls is spacious and quiet. The sound of family members talking affectionately at the dinner table and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks echo in the courtyard, sketching a texture as warm and smooth as jade. Longmen Ancient Town, located about 70 kilometers west of Hangzhou's main urban area, is surrounded by mountains and is a typical ancient town in the southern Jiangnan region. Unlike the ancient towns in the Taihu Plain, there is no crisscrossing river network here, only a mountain stream runs through the ancient town, converging with an external stream and eventually flowing into the Fuchun River a few kilometers away. In the past, the old street of the ancient town was an important commercial route to Shaoxing. In Longmen Ancient Town, more than 90% of the families are surnamed Sun, descendants of Sun Quan, the king of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. Due to its remote location, it has preserved more of the cultural heritage of traditional clans. The architecture is characterized by halls, with two Sun clan ancestral halls at the center, and to this day, more than 40 hall buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties have been preserved, serving as independent ancestral halls and residential courtyards for various branches of the Sun clan. Compared with many bustling and noisy ancient towns, Longmen Ancient Town has always maintained its original quiet daily life. Walking in the alleyways, in a courtyard, cats and dogs lie leisurely, a person goes out with a hoe on his back, as if time flows leisurely here. The entrance fee is 70 yuan, but there are many small alleys along the road that can easily enter the scenic area. Although you can't visit a few large halls, wandering in those free halls is also a pleasure. There is a photography museum in the Shidetang, which has collected a lot of photographic equipment and is worth a visit. Snack shops and restaurants in the ancient town can be seen everywhere on the old street. Be sure to try the local specialty "Longmen Gluten" - a small and beautiful snack, thin gluten wrapped around a filling made of dried bamboo shoots, leeks and minced meat. This snack was introduced in the latest season of "Flavorful Origins". The architecture of Longmen Ancient Town is rugged and majestic, and it is worth spending a day to appreciate. It will be more interesting to experience it together with the neighboring finely carved Shen'ao Ancient Village in Tonglu. Nearby are also the Dongziguan, a representative of the new Hangzhou-style residences, as well as the Tongzhou Island in the Fuchun River, Huyuan Creek, Yong'an Mountain Paragliding Base and other attractions. It is a great choice for a holiday on May 1st or on weekends. Looking forward to seeing more people make this place more lively, because it is really worth it.
