I prefer this place over the bustling Wujiazhuang

❤️ Hairyanchen, an ordinary small town in Jiangnan, is not crowded with people, and the shops on the street all seem to be waiting for revival. ❤️ But this is the hometown of the writer Yu Hua, and it seems that there is a literary atmosphere in its bones. Here you can find the Old Post Alley from 'Mistakes at the Riverside'; the Victory Restaurant from 'Chronicle of a Blood Merchant'; and the tarred road from 'On the Road at Eighteen'. 🔥 A regular weekend activity is to take a walk with the kids here at City walk, where it's less crowded and great for taking photos. 🛣 Navigation: Shendang Ancient Town (free parking) 🔥 Ticket: Free. Recommended check-in spot is Victory Restaurant. ❤️ The Victory Restaurant from the book 'Chronicle of a Blood Merchant', order a plate of stir-fried pig liver and a couple of shots of yellow wine, as Teacher Yu says 'it's all delicious' at Sunny Day Cafe. ❤️ The popular coffee shop on the old street, 'Once upon a time there was someone who loved you for a long time', plays Jay Chou's playlist on loop, lingering in your ears. Shendang Brewery ❤️ Inherited from the Qing Guangxu period, the official family bestowed the title 'Official Soy Garden', brewed in the ancient way, fully fermented and aged. 🔥 Other recommended check-in spots: the old clock shop, the city that never sleeps
