Zhenze Ancient Town | A neglected treasure town!
| A neglected treasure town! . The ancient town of Zhenze has two streets, three to four hundred meters, a river, a temple, and a tower. This is all the ancient town has to offer. The old stone bridge spans the small river. You can listen to a play by Wu Nan, sip a cup of green white tea, and watch the sparkling water on the water illuminated by the sun. Here, you can spend an afternoon in a daze.

The most distinctive ones are the Ciyun Temple Pagoda and the Yuji Bridge. The pagoda and the ancient bridge echo each other, forming a Jiangnan picture of "the shadow of the arch bridge and tower" and becoming the most beautiful business card of the entire ancient town.

It is famous for its delicacies such as mutton noodles, dried black beans, tofu puffs and various Soviet pastries. Shops like Renchang Shun, Lao Yan Noodle House, Grandma Dumplings, etc. are all must-visits.

The Ciyun
The Ciyun Temple Tower is located in the ancient town of Zhenze, Jiangsu Province. Together with the adjacent ruins and bridges, it forms a classic picture of the towers and bridges. It is particularly attractive. This is one of the characteristics of Zhenze Ancient Town, which is different from other Jiangnan water towns. The Ciyun Temple Tower is inside the Ciyun Temple. It is necessary to purchase tickets for 10 yuan in the temple. The tower also needs to purchase another ticket. It is not very cost-effective, and the ladder is getting higher and higher. It is still a little difficult to climb. It is recommended below. Just look at it. This six-storey and five-story brick-and-wooden pavilion-style tower is said to have been built in the Three Kingdoms period. It has been repeatedly destroyed and built. It is not easy to survive.
