Where is Yuehe Ancient Street? Yuehe Old Street is located in Zhenshui Old Street next to the original ancient waterway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Jiaxing City. The streets and scenery here have long been the most representative city cards here. Here you can clearly and deeply feel the kindness and gentleness of Jiangnan water town.
Yuehe Ancient Street The beautiful Yuehe Historical Block is one of the most complete and largest existing areas in Jiaxing, which can best reflect the life characteristics and cultural characteristics of Jiangnan water town. This is a miniature Xitang. Walking through a tall arch bridge, you can see antique houses, criss-crossing rivers, red lanterns hanging high, and shops along the street stand shoulder to shoulder. There are pastry shops, teahouses, old-fashioned sauce gardens, root carving halls, flower and bird markets and jade shops. This is a refurbished antique street. Just look at the photos in front of Yuehe Street. Except for some reserved places (such as Zongzi Culture Museum and Dragon Boat Festival Folk Culture Experience Hall), the whole block (originally all folk customs) has been commercially developed and transformed.
At present, Yuehe Ancient Street is divided into two parts. Part of it is the Moon River, which is actually a tributary of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Descending from the entrance of the ancient street, there is a monument beside the small bridge, which records relevant records. Surrounded by rivers, it is a block integrating catering snacks, humanities and folk customs, shopping and leisure. Because the architecture is dominated by Ming and Qing styles, this commercial street is called "ancient street".
Yuehe ancient street can also be regarded as a condensed version of Jiangnan water town, which is roughly similar to the famous Wuzhen and Xitang around Jiaxing. When you are tired of sightseeing, there are many teahouses and cafes to have a rest, or you can find the pier, take a red-topped Wupeng boat, and feel the unique style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. By the way, there is still a short road next to the main street, which is the flower and bird market. Here, the phrase "birds and flowers" seems to fit perfectly! In the evening, the lanterns of the ancient houses by the river also lit up, and the noisy streets during the day gradually quieted down as people left. At this time, the ancient streets are performing another kind of scenery, which is beautiful! When people come to Yuehe Street with less people flow, they can enjoy this old historical district with strong water town and ancient city customs.
