Guanzhong Old Street in the town is the most famous and beautiful. It is a combination of north and south buildings, with both ancient and modern characteristics. It looks rough and graceful, simple and modern, and has become a business card of Yingshang County.
The gate of the old street is very imposing, and the four characters "Guanzhong Old Street" are written in the middle. For thousands of years, the local people have been guarding the gate as the pride of yingshang. Walking in the old street is especially beautiful at night.
Zhengyangguan Town belongs to Shou County, Huainan, and ranks among the eight largest cities in China. Once an important town in Huaishang, it was known as "little shanghai". From the Republic of China to the eve of liberation, it was one of the eight major cities in Anhui. After liberation, a large number of businessmen, capitalists and soldiers went overseas and went to Taiwan Province Province, a treasure island. The people in the ancient town had many overseas relatives, which was quite spectacular.
Zhengyangguan Town is rich in tourism resources, including Xuan Di Temple, three ancient city gates, many ancient streets, Gu Xiang and ancient houses.
Zhengyangguan, an ancient town that once flourished on the bank of Huaihe River, has always had the reputation of "seventy-two waters returning to Zhengyang". On the gate of the ancient town, the words "Fengcheng defends her virginity" are written. The mottled blue bricks on the door of the ancient city seem to tell people about the vicissitudes she has experienced.
Located in Maanshan. The ancient town of Cao Yun has a history of more than 1700 years, and its typical style is "crossing the road with a wooden building, a slate road and a small brick horse-headed wall". Located 40 kilometers south of Hanshan County, with a total area of 70.3 square kilometers.
The establishment of Cao Yun Town can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, nearly 1500 years ago. Around 530 AD, Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties sent Hou Jing, a general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, to lead troops across the river to develop this barren land and named it "Liaohua Prefecture". During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, the name of "Cao Yun Town" came from Caohe River.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cao Yun Town ranked first among the "Eight Towns in the North of the Yangtze River" because of its market scale and prosperity. She's ancestral hall, Li Hongzhang pawnshop, ancient houses in Ming and Qing dynasties, old streets and other precious cultural heritages have been preserved to this day.
Wujiang town is located in the northeast corner of Maanshan County, 2 1 km away from the county. Located at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, facing the Yangtze River, it forms a foothold with Nanjing and Maanshan, and is known as the gateway of Jinling. In 202 BC, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, refused to cross Jiangdong and adopted Wujiang River, ending the dispute between Chu and Han, and Wujiang River became famous all over the world. After Xiang Yu died, the local people built a "cenotaph" for him.
In the 29th year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty (1 159), Xiangjiang Temple in Wujiang was named "Ying Hui Temple". After years of renovation and expansion, there are 99 and a half rooms, including the main hall, Qinglong Palace, Xinggong Palace and Shuilingfu. There are statues of Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng and other cultural relics in the hall, such as stone lions, early boats, bells, ding, plaques and monuments. Poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties such as Meng Jiao, Du Mu, Su Shunqin, Lu You, Wang Anshi and Li Qingzhao all wrote poems. Later, many battles were held and most buildings were destroyed. In the seventh year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1868), the image of overlord was rebuilt. There is a plaque that says "Pull the mountain out of the world" and a couplet that says "Water belt in front of the mountain, tigers whistling and dragons singing".
The streets of the town are vertical and horizontal, and the buildings are mostly low and deep alleys. The pavement of the bluestone slab is narrow and long. There are nearly 100 cotton shops, rice shops, shops, teahouses and guest schools in the town. Wujiang is a thousand-year-old town with profound cultural heritage. It is the hometown of Zhang Ji, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Zhang Xiaobo, Zhang Jizhi and Lin Sanzhi, a famous writer and calligrapher in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Located in Lu 'an, Anhui. Subu town has a history of 1000 years since the Song Dynasty, with many historical sites and rich historical and cultural resources.

The well-preserved ancient buildings on the street include Baima Club, Liu Mingchuan Pawnshop, Wellcome Bank, Xiaolong Shengmi Bank and Wang Dazhong Private House. The bronze statue of Xu Shuai, Yonghui Temple, the former site of Sujiabao's frontline command port, and Zhujiayuan wall, the former site of Sujiabao's battle command, tell the brilliant victory of "encirclement and suppression points for assistance" in the history of the Red Army. Yonghui Temple and Zhujiayuan City Wall were once provincial cultural protection units.
Dabie Mountain is towering and the river is surging. Sujiabu Town is located in the northeast foot of Dabie Mountain, the middle reaches of Pi River and the west of Anhui Province. Founded in Yuan Dynasty, it flourished in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, with a history of thousands of years. The prosperity of Sujiabu is due to the benefits of boats on the Pi River. It started with a man named Su, who ferried on the Pi River and was called "Sujiadu". Later, with the progress of society and the continuous development of production, a large number of bamboo, tea and hemp were transported and sold here, and gradually became docks and shops, which was called "Sujiabu" in the Song Dynasty.
This street is centered on Cross Street and extends in all directions. It is divided into four main streets in the east, west, south and north and dozens of back streets and alleys. Crossing the long street, extending in all directions, criss-crossing, winding paths leading to secluded places, rows of shops and old houses with wooden structures, and anecdotes of high-walled courtyards have left indelible marks here.
At that time, it was from south to north, from east to west, and there were three religions and nine streams, all kinds of which had the flavor of Shanghai World and Nanjing Confucius Temple before liberation. No wonder the old people in Sujiabu have all heard the saying "You can buy things you can't buy here and sell things you can't sell here". Business is booming, which is evident.
The early morning sun shines into the attic, and the shadow upstairs seems shy. The boudoir hides a dream in the dark, in which it is sleepy and tired. Don't look at this decadent and dilapidated scene. Once upon a time, this was a privileged scene for a big family. A noble family, a down-and-out scholar, a vendor, a disciple ... Many months ago, when we were together, I was deeply locked in the attic.
The ancient style still reflects the vicissitudes of life, and the Cross Street is lonely. The history of the old street fades away day by day, and the story of the old street is hidden day by day, but those prosperous marks and vivid tracks will not be erased. It is the root and soul of the old street.
The old street in the town was built in Yuan Dynasty and flourished in Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, half of the streets and lanes are depressed, without traffic and flowers, but with immortal traces carved by years.

The old street is more than a thousand meters long, but not more than three or five meters wide, and it runs north and south. Now most of the houses are buildings in the late Qing Dynasty, with more than 750 rooms facing the street and nearly 100 households, and some facades have been changed into shops.
In the middle of the street is an evergreen slate with pebbles on both sides. There are deep ruts on the bluestone strips, which are the traces left by the old unicycle.
The old street was built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Nanjing, in order to fight against the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, he practiced "Ma Zheng" and raised horses in counties and counties around Jiangsu and Anhui, losing troops and losing troops. This place is surrounded by mountains and waters, and the grassland is fertile, which is suitable for raising horses. So the state official set up a factory to raise horses, which was called "Maotan Factory" (the shed for raising horses was called "factory" in the Ming Dynasty), and then it gradually became "Maotan Factory", which could not be tested because of the change of sound type.
After the unification of Ming Dynasty, Mao Tan factories gathered business trips and gradually became an important town. The Qing Dynasty implemented the "tea-horse policy" and exchanged tea for horses, which made the tea economy here develop rapidly and many businessmen appeared. In 2007, Maotanchang Old Street was awarded the title of "Famous Historical and Cultural Town of China".

According to historical records, Datong Tang set up a water post, which was called Datong water post in history. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the market activity of "making at sunrise and making at noon" has been replaced by "town". The poet Yang Wanli wrote the poem "Fishing is the biggest obstacle to a boat" and "Fish and crabs don't care about money" in "Crossing Datong Town", which left a vivid portrayal for the fishing village.
Walking in a trance on the old street, without high-profile hawking, just like a child who hasn't woken up, lying quietly in the embrace of the Yangtze River! We also slowed down our usual hurried pace, strolled leisurely and quietly savored the years in Cang Sang.
The bell tower of the Catholic church in the ancient town was built by the Spanish. It has experienced nearly 70 years of cold and heat, and its majestic posture remains the same.

As soon as the house faces the river, it is hung on the Qingyi River with wooden pillars, and the river flows through it, which is very Jiangnan. This building goes door to door, extending about 1 0.2 Li, and using more than 1000 wooden columns, so it is called "a thousand legs in the south of the Yangtze River"-Diaojiao Building, also known as Diaodong Pavilion.
Zhang Du, known as the Kirin Capital in ancient times, has a history of 1000 years. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised Zhang Du as the "Xixiang" in southern Anhui when he traveled to Jingxian County. He went to the big blue mountain in the south of Zhangdu and wrote a poem. "Blue cen grate wall, abrupt as whale forehead. Rush through the pool and swallow the star stone. Autumn sand brings light, and water shakes the cold mountain. Good times should be delayed, and Qinghui can stay. Hating your husband for stopping you from traveling scares me. Everything in the future is made of gold. "
At that time, Zhangdu in the Tang Dynasty was an important land and water town in Jingxian County, where it set up a port and a state, and governed three counties. The surging Qingyi River flows through the edge of the town, and the development of shipping has made the town prosperous, so it is called "thousands of feet".

"Rich Lingyang Town" is a "mantra" of hometown people, and it is also a self-sufficient mentality that Lingyang people are proud of. Objectively speaking, it is due to the geographical environment, with more mountains and less fields and more business trips. Lingyang merchants are a strong force among Huizhou merchants. Their footprints are all over Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanjing, Wuhan, Wuhu, Bengbu, Datong, Huizhou, Tunxi and other places.
