Nianbadu Ancient Town: A Millennium Secret Hidden in the Border of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi

**【】** Nianbadu Ancient Town, located in Jiangshan City, Quzhou, Zhejiang, lies quietly in the depths of Xianxialing Mountain. It is an important post station at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces in history. Here, there are ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bluestone roads, horse head walls, and carved gatehouses, as if time has stopped here. Entering the ancient town, the most fascinating thing is its unique "dialect island" phenomenon - the 28du dialect used by residents, which integrates multiple languages such as Minnan, Hakka, and Huizhou, is known as the "living fossil of language". On the ancient street, Ming and Qing shops, ancestral halls, and temples are lined up, among which "Jiang Family Courtyard" and "Dai Li's Former Residence" hide little-known historical stories. In the evening, stroll in the ancient alleys dotted with lanterns, taste a sip of the locally brewed "Nianbadu Red Koji Wine", and listen to the old people telling the stories of the ancient town, as if traveling through thousands of years. There are no tourists here, only the purest Jiangnan charm, waiting for you to explore!
