Nanjing Travel Notes - Gaochun Ancient Charm

Gaochun Old Street, a place with a history of over 900 years, still retains its ancient appearance. Walking on the bluestone road, every step feels like traveling through time, back to the ancient times without noise. She told me that this street was once named "Jinling's First Ancient Street" during the Qianlong period. Although there is no conclusive historical record, this sense of mystery adds to its charm. Gaochun Old Street is about 100 kilometers away from the main urban area of Nanjing and is little known. It is a truly niche attraction, far away from the crowded tourist attractions, and is an ideal place for those who long for tranquility and history. The bluestone road, ancient houses, and mottled walls of the old street seem to tell ancient stories. These streets, which once witnessed prosperity, have long been covered by the dust of history as time goes by. But its tranquility is its strength. The ancient buildings preserved in Gaochun Old Street make me feel like I have entered a still time and space. Those arches, bluestone roads, and intricate alleys are like historical imprints deeply engraved on this land. This was once a prosperous commercial area during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with shops on both sides of the street. Although everything has changed today, it still retains its ancient charm.
