Not to mention Wuzhen and Lijiang, these ancient towns raised in boudoir are the least commercialized, but few people know about them.
Most people choose to go to the ancient town,
to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city,
to find a leisure and quiet ~
But today's ancient town tour,
makes many people "love and hate".
I love it,
because urbanites with a busy pace of life,
need to escape from the city and relive the slow time in the past,
feel the imprint of time and the inheritance of culture;
I hate it,
because today's ancient towns are often homogeneous,
commercialized, and seem to be the same,
without features.
Traveling all over the country,
There are many ancient cities and towns in China,
But how many are truly original and original?
?
But you know,
Are there still these six ancient towns with the weakest commercialization in China?
They have been away from the world for thousands of years. Here,
you can live like a local in the town,
the original meaning of returning to the ancient town.
