Xixi Ancient Town features the Northern Song Dynasty style, showcasing the unique salt culture and 'Three Aspects' culture, with main attractions such as Yanyan Academy, Three Aspects Pavilion, Salt Square, and the Ancient City Tower, forming an iconic architectural complex. In the ancient town's Limu Old Street, built along the Xixi Yanyan River, with its grey bricks and tiles, every step offers a new view. Here you can watch the immersive 'Fan Zhongyan' drama, take a boat ride, and it's just perfect for taking photos in Hanfu or modern Chinese-style clothing!

At 19:40, the 'Celestial Love' aerial fantasy drama, with the starry sky as the ceiling and cloud windows and misty pavilions as the backdrop, integrates stage plays, music, and dance into one, offering a unique audio-visual experience that is truly stunning. The finale is a beautiful fireworks show, immersing you in a fairy-like, thousand-year-old romance.
✅Haichunxuan Tower
'Xixi tower shadows the cold mountain moon, and the ancient temple wind tolls the bell of the East Sea' - the 'tower' mentioned in this poem is Haichunxuan Tower. The three wonders:
🌸First Wonder: Looking up from the base of the tower, the eaves of each level are not in a straight line or on a flat plane, but spiral.
🌸Second Wonder: This tower was originally a lighthouse, with no foundation or underground palace, yet it has stood for a thousand years without falling.
🌸Third Wonder: Legend has it that the top of the tower is made of 'wind-dividing copper,' and with the Xixi Pagoda guarding it, even typhoons have to detour around it.
✅Grass Market Street:
A street full of the atmosphere of everyday life, it's simply a paradise for foodies! There's nothing better than enjoying a variety of specialty foods with a few good friends at night. Fish soup noodles, large meat buns, roujiamo, big plate chicken, strip mud seafood noodles - which one can heal your soul and taste buds?
📌Little Tips:
The ancient town is free to visit FREE, but watching the 'Celestial Love' performance requires a ticket purchase at 'Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies Cultural Park,' starting at 6:30 PM.
It's currently the National Day holiday, and the park has many FREE special performances, including fireworks at night.
There's a big temperature difference between day and night, so remember to bring a coat for the kids.
If you don't want to be in a crowd during the National Day holiday, why not visit this thousand-year-old town like I did?
I went there on the first day of the New Year, there were a lot of people, very lively. I saw a few performances inside, and the acrobatics were really kung fu. It was worth the fare, and there were monkey performances. The children were very happy! There are also a lot of food around.
The performance is good, and the actors are also very dedicated. Weiya dances on the dance floor, and the group performance has to step into the water. It is not easy in winter. The narrator cooperates with the performance, and it is also a sense of hierarchy, 45 minutes of performance. Input that can be seen
Dafeng Bus Station has a special bus for tourism, and there are also stations in the middle that can get on and off. 8 yuan, 100*du map is not allowed. This time I feel that the map of Gao*de is accurate. Play 40-2 for hours, non-free-range area, you can walk back later, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and be quiet. The road toll protected area is open, a group of elk standing in the middle of the water, I thought it was a specimen, and found that the head occasionally moved, there was a free-range elk.
自驾游路过这里,意外发现的风景和古街。西溪位于古运盐河畔,乃东台文化之根,为国家级非物质文化遗产“董永七仙女传说”发祥地。天仙缘景区门票40元/位,1.4米以下儿童免费。❤推荐理由:西溪旅游文化景区成立于2008年,东至串场河、西至新204国道、南至泰东河、北至向东河,面积16平方公里。近年来,西溪景区坚持文化为魂、产业为本,先后投入30多亿元,建成董永七仙女文化园、西溪古城、海春塔苑、西溪植物园、影视创客中心等一批特色鲜明的重要景观。🌟亮点特色:《天仙缘》 实景演出是江苏省首部超现实飞天仙幻实景剧,以董永和七仙女的爱情传说为故事蓝本,讲述一段可歌可泣的人神至情。作品不拘泥于表现董永的孝道,而将主要的笔墨着力于董永在奸侫恶徒面前的刚正不阿,以及仙女七妹为爱情执着冒险,哪怕元神陨灭也无所畏惧。这份爱不仅包含了两情相悦情投意合,更是对正直良善之举的深情礼赞。👍最推荐:景区外的街区—草市街也形成了当地的特有特色,追求精致市井商业风格,由江苏名吃名店、域外名吃名店、场景工坊传统技艺、现代休闲餐饮、流动餐饮等构成。
The environment can be, there is an atmosphere, and I feel that the publicity and overall planning of the legend will be further improved.
