Jiaxing | Yuehe Historical District, there is even a flower and bird market to visit

🚗 Yuehe Historical District, one of the most intact, largest, and most reflective of the residential and cultural characteristics of the Jiangnan water towns in the urban area of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. The Yuehe District is based on the parallel layout of 'three rivers and three streets'—the 'Grand Canal', 'Outer Yue River', and 'Inner Yue River' are basically parallel and converge near Beili Bridge, creating a spatial layout with distinctive characteristics; 'Zhongji Road', 'Tan Alley', and 'Xiushui Pocket Street' became bustling commercial areas due to their proximity to the canal and the prefectural city. In the past, 'Zhongji Road' was lined with shops on both sides, bustling with merchants and a busy scene. 🚗 The small alleys and streets are winding and crisscrossed, with narrow rivers, old residential houses, etc., restoring and displaying the rich ancient town style of the water town. Inside the scenic area, there are attractions from six major venues including the Jiangxi Guild Hall, Goldfish Courtyard, Dachang Pawnshop, Jiahe Water Post, Gao Gongsheng Soy Sauce Garden, and Fortune God Hall. The Yuehe District is an ideal place to visit while enjoying the old style of the Jiangnan prefectural city and tasting the prosperity of century-old brands. 🚗 I've been to Jiaxing several times but never visited Yuehe. This time I made an appointment with a local friend to take a tour and have a meal by the way. I originally thought it was just an ordinary ancient town, but I didn't expect it to be quite large. There is an area inside that seems to be uninhabited, but I feel it has the original atmosphere of the ancient town (but my local friend told me it is a bar street, quiet during the day and lively at night). There is a flower and bird market and an antique market, and there are quite a lot of people on weekend mornings, those who are interested can also come and take a look.
