Shen'ao Ancient Town | This must be the thousand-year-old town forgotten by the world!

🚗It only took me 1 hour to find the treasure ancient towns hidden in the crevices of time in Hangzhou—Dipu and Shen'ao! These two adjacent ancient towns have a lively atmosphere without the noise, absolutely amazing👌! Dipu is quite popular and has a bit of fame, but the charm of Shen'ao is unique❤️ Highly recommended! It's like a peaceful secret realm on weekends when there are few people. 1h drive from Hangzhou West Lake, right next to the highway exit Daily life wearing you down? Come to Shen'ao, it's pleasing to the eyes, heart, and stomach😜 📍Hangzhou. Tonglu. Shen'ao Ancient Town 📸Shen'ao seems incredibly photogenic! The old gates and facades of the ancient town have their own charm, exuding a touch of classical beauty. Turn the white walls and black tiles into your background, and rush for an Instagram shot!😎 In the Qing Dynasty houses, old songs play in your ears, and beside you sits a dozing elder, this fairy-tale-like scene melts my heart~🎶 Walking by the Ming Dynasty lotus pond, watching the intricate chess game on the board, I can't help but applaud👏. The shops full of historical sense, the former commercial streets are now covered with stalls, wandering from here to there, admiring the ingenuity of the craftsmen, wow! Under the mottled archway, the fragrant spice stall with its stirring sounds makes one's happiness go up up! Carrying freshly popped rice cakes, the nostalgic taste rushes to the heart, and in an instant, I'm back in childhood🌈. Shen'ao Ancient Town, the largest village in Tonglu, is full of stories from the villagers, generation after generation, warm and summery💓. Compared to those silent ancient towns, the vitality of Shen'ao is like its ever-flowing dark channels, continuous. The talent of those master craftsmen is not drowned by time; their efforts have long turned into the lively atmosphere of these streets and alleys. These intricate lives tell us that we have never been alone on this journey, because of the warmth of human touch. Tired? Just take a walk in Shen'ao!
