I never intended to go to the south of the Yangtze River, yet the south of the Yangtze River has captured my heart

🌟 Highlights: It's hard to imagine that there are sceneries in the north that resemble the water towns of the south. Entering Mingshui Ancient Town is like arriving at a second Wuzhen. Shandong has many ancient towns, such as Taierzhuang, Qingzhou, Zhoucun, etc., but only Mingshui Ancient Town has the true charm of the south. If Taierzhuang is likened to the dignified lady by the Grand Canal, then Mingshui Ancient Town is the delicate beauty nestled by the springs. 👍 Most recommended: The ancient town has a well-developed water system, numerous stone bridges, and closely packed houses. Meng Family Mansion, Meng Hongsheng Cloth Shop, Yixiangzhai Oil Mill, Rui Fuxiang, the ancient county government office, Lantern Shop, Tofu Workshop, Post Office, and others are all arranged in an orderly fashion. Speaking of the Meng family, it is worth mentioning that the fabric for the first Five-Star Red Flag of the new China came from their Rui Fuxiang, a time-honored Chinese brand of 160 years. ✅ Must experience: Today, the Hundred Springs Park and the ancient town are integrated into one. Here, not only can you find antique buildings, but also picturesque natural landscapes.
