Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, countless boats have traveled back and forth on the river, and Fotang's floating bridge dock was an important stopping point. Today, the ancient town is already desolate, but you can still glimpse the traces of its prosperity in the dazzling array of bull's legs, window lattices, and brick and stone carvings on the houses of the ancient town. As an attraction, Fotang Ancient Town is still under development and does not charge an entrance fee. There is hardly any commercial atmosphere in the streets and alleys, and the simple life of the locals in the depths of the lanes is a rare sight elsewhere. 2.

The weather was not the best, but still the place looked nice. There are lots of delicious snacks you can try while you explore the ancient town. Be sure to visit this place when you are in Yiwu.

Fotang Ancient Town or Fotangzhen as known in Chinese is one of the four most ancient towns in Zhejiang. It has a reputation of being a thousand year old town, a commercial port and also a holy place for Buddhism. Strolling around this town gives you a feeling of going back to hundred years back. Although most of the ancient houses has been transform into commercial shoplots, apparently there are still some older generations who still lives there. The houses and buildings are very well maintained to preserve their authenticity. You can also noticed some activities around like young ladies taking opportunity to dressed up in traditional costumes and have a makeover done for photography sessions. Older generations will gather together for some Chinese chess, mahjong or poker card session. It was quite an eye opening as such activities we can only see on TV if we are a foreigner. No entrance fee for this town and it's opened till midnight. Ohya, remember to bring a powerbank as your mobile phone will be busy capturing photos 😉 #ancienttown #fotangzhen #awesomepic #travelchina #yolobeliever #wheretogo #zhejiangchina

The night scenery was unexpectedly breathtaking at this ancient town, which has the historical story of 300 years old. We arrived in the afternoon and had a wonderful time exploring the town during the day time. Then we decided to explore the local foods just right across the street. After the dinner, and when we walked out and were surprised to discover another kind of feeling the ancient town has to give. The night scenery are just both dreamy and breathtaking. As we decided to strolled thru the town again, we discovered more activities at night, where younger locals and families came out to spend time together. Activities like karaoke, public square dancing, pets dressed up, young ladies dressing up in traditional costumes for photography, and of course not forgetting the various choices of foods and snacks to choose. There are also lighting performance which is really amazing. The whole town was made so lively. Remember to bring a power bank as you will taking a whole lots of photos here! #ancienttownchina #travelchina #awesomepic #佛堂古镇 #fotangancienttown #zhejiangchina

Location: Fota Ancient Town 🚖Transportation: Self-driving | Taxi | Bus 🅿️Parking: Free I took the bus to Xinshiji Station and started exploring from the end of the old street 📸Fota Old Street The main street is very commercial and not very long. Initially, this street was nothing special to me, but as I turned a corner, a scene I once saw in a dream suddenly popped into my mind. The location and arrangement of that shop were exactly the same as what I had seen in my dream; it felt quite fateful to encounter the shop I had dreamed of in Fota Ancient Town. The alleys on both sides of the main street are worth exploring; you might discover something more interesting, and they still retain the flavor of the old street compared to the main street. 📸Food 🥡Fota Qianzhang Noodles These noodles are really good, truly living up to everyone's high recommendations. 🥡Wudi's Sister-in-law's Sweet Fermented Rice Way too sweet～ Not friendly for sisters who prefer their milk tea with less sugar or no sugar, but the taste is not bad. If you don't like sweet, then forget about it. 🥡Fota Baked Flatbread I happened to catch a fresh batch out of the oven; it's very crispy, tastes average, you can try one, but eating too much can be a bit greasy, it has a meat filling with a bit too much fat. 📸Puchuan Water Street Coming out from the main street, next to it is Puchuan Water Street. Strolling leisurely along the river, there are Hui-style buildings, also a kind of antique charm. I visited in the afternoon, but I heard that the scenery is even more beautiful at night. If you have time, you can stay until evening to enjoy. 📸Fuhu Bridge Walking on the small bridge feels quite nice; the different boat numbers marked on the right side of the boat heads represent those boats from the past. Whether looking from above down or taking pictures at level, this bridge is very photogenic. If you happen to be in Yiwu, and happen to be not far from Fota Ancient Town, and happen to want to experience the ancient town, and happen to have good weather, then it's just right to set off.

Yiwu Two-Day One-Night Guide, Jiming Pavilion, Fotang Ancient Town, Old Train Station 1970 Cultural and Creative Park, Santing Road Night Market :Depart from Hangzhou, about 0.5 hours, with high-speed train station and airport. p2~4 Jiming Pavilion: Located in Jiming Mountain Park, Jiming Pavilion is a good place to appreciate Dongyang wood carving art. Climbing the mountain is very convenient, it is recommended to go in the afternoon to evening, so you can see the daytime scenery and night view, and taking contrast photos is quite interesting. From the top of Jiming Pavilion, you can overlook the entire Yiwu. It is also a great spot for taking Hanfu photos, and when we went there, we even encountered people shooting videos for selling goods, and got brainwashed several times. Red p5~8 Fotang Ancient Town: It's a bit far from Yiwu city center, about 0.5 hours by taxi. Fotang has always been a trading port, and the ancient town perfectly blends the grandeur of Huizhou architecture with the finesse of Zhejiang carvings. Overall, it has an antique charm and is not overly developed. Besides the local snacks which are quite special, other purchases are not highly recommended. p9~13 Old Train Station 1970 Cultural and Creative Park: It's a great place for photography, quite artistic, with some small shops, cafes, bookstores, a rainbow track, and graffiti walls. It's nice to walk around when the weather is good, and it seems to be a popular spot for families with children. p14: Santing Road Night Market, also known as Binwang Night Market. There are snacks, small commodities, and clothes for sale. The snacks are similar to other night markets, but small commodities and crafts can be bought here, as most of the Yiwu Small Commodities City does not retail. Bargaining doesn't seem to make a big difference, so you can buy when the price reaches your psychological limit. 1o Notes on food have been updated in another article. √ Small tips: The lights of Jiming Pavilion are on from 18:30 to 21:30, but sometimes there are delays. When we went, it was a bit late, and they also turn off the lights. After the lights are on, waiting until it's completely dark to take photos is even more beautiful.
