Today, I'll give you a place in Jincheng where you can confidently check in. At the same time, it's also a paradise for ancient style enthusiasts. Da Yang Ancient Town located in Zezhou County, Jincheng, Shanxi. This ancient town is called Dayang Ancient Town, with a history of more than 2,600 years. It was formerly known as Yang'a and is also a famous town for Chinese history and culture, a base for international cultural exchange for Chinese overseas, a living fossil of ancient Chinese towns, and a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot. During the day, visiting the ancient town, you can visit the five major pavilions, all of which are historic architectural and cultural sites: ①Town History Museum: Piece by piece of historical facts are recorded in history books and inscriptions. Here, you can see the origin and changes of the ancient town, and feel the long history and rich cultural heritage of Dayang. ②Ancient Iron Workshop: Experience traditional handicrafts such as blacksmithing and needle grinding using the thousand-year-old smelting technology of the coal and iron hometown. ③Zhang Family Mansion: Currently the highest specification private mansion discovered in Southeast Shanxi, the residence of Zhang Yangmeng, the Minister of Household during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, has a "deep courtyard" with three courtyards. ④Qipan Courtyard: a Ming and Qing dynasty ancient house, also known as "Four Courtyards of Qipan", each courtyard is independent but cleverly connected. Here you can see the Wanli Tea Road and feel the spirit of Shanxi merchants. ⑤Traditional Woodworking Hall: Experience the unique wood carving, participate in the martial arts examination, try your hand at sawing and planing wood, play with catapults, and enjoy riding wooden bicycles. You can also wander around various alleys and feel the tranquility and peace of the ancient town. There are many local elderly people sitting in the ancient town chatting and sunbathing. This is what peace on earth looks like! In the ancient town, there is a Hanfu museum where you can also dress up in Hanfu and take very picturesque photos. However, my favorite time is still at night. Dàyáng Ancient Town under the night sky The alley is long, the courtyard is deep. Night falls. The lights of the ancient town have come on. Rows of old houses made of blue bricks and gray tiles. In the halo, it appears more ancient and elegant. The gentle breeze sways the red lanterns. The later it gets at night, Old streets and alleys present a mysterious and diverse charm. In the evening, there are performances such as the Fire Festival, Thousand-Year Iron Flower, Flying Swallow Dance, and Aurora Show, which are very beautiful. For food, there are local specialties such as Zhuan noodles, Sanza, Heji cold noodles, and so on. They are delicious and affordable! By the way, the rapeseed flowers are blooming vigorously recently. With the ticket of the ancient town, you can visit the rapeseed flower sea for free! Take action instead of just being moved. Choose a good weather and go to Dayang Ancient Town!
