Immerse yourself in the "living ancient village" of Xianju

⛰️At the foot of the Shenxianju Mountains in Taizhou, there is an ancient village with a history of more than 800 years. After years of baptism, it has completely preserved the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 🏡This is a "living ancient village". Many original residents live here, following the most authentic appearance of life and guarding the fireworks of the world. ‼️In this secluded ancient village, there are no crowds, only the gentleness of the years and poetry and distance. Take advantage of the fact that it has not been over-commercialized and developed, and hurry up! 🙋What to see: 1️⃣This original ancient village is the gathering place of the Wu clan, a prominent family in Jiangnan. Generations of Wu clan members have gradually built this ingeniously laid out village. The village is not big, and you can walk through it in 2 hours, but if you want to appreciate it carefully, there are many details to explore. 2️⃣The ancient village is divided into two major building complexes, Shangwu Village and Xiawu Village, by the YueLu River as a natural dividing line. The essence of the scenic spots are in Xiawu Village. The unique courtyard-style houses are scattered along the water system. Between the white walls and black tiles, the villagers live here, pounding rice cakes and spinning yarn, with a strong atmosphere of life. 3️⃣Yuqing Hall and Jishan Hall, which say "A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have more celebrations", Rixin Hall, which says "The glory of the sun renews its virtue", Shende Hall, which says "A gentleman should be careful of his virtue first", and Shenshen Hall, which says "I examine myself three times a day" are the essence of the historical buildings in the ancient village, and they are connected to each other very closely, so it is easy to stroll around. 4️⃣A large number of exquisite stone carvings, wood carvings, and brick carvings are all over the gates, windows, and beams of the ancient buildings. The designs imply auspiciousness, happiness, and longevity. Each carving contains ingenuity and is amazing. 🎫Tickets: Free. The residences are not guarded, and tourists can walk freely, but be careful not to go upstairs without permission and do not disturb the lives of the original residents. 📍Address: Xiawu Village, Gaoqian, Xianju County, Taizhou City. It is recommended to drive by yourself. There is no problem parking in the parking lot at the entrance. After visiting the ancient village, you need to return the same way. It is not far from the Shenxianju Scenic Area and can be arranged for a visit together.
