Located in the Yuehe Historic District of Yuehe Ancient Town in Jiaxing, it is one of the most complete and largest areas in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, which can best reflect the residential characteristics and cultural characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town. It is located in the central business district of Huating Street and Jiahe Beijing City in Jiaxing City. It is surrounded by Huancheng North Road, Jianguo North Road, Hexing South Road and Tongle Road. Shanghai used to drive for more than an hour. Unlike the famous ancient towns, there is no so-called ancient town maintenance fee. The merchants in Guzhen are not as many as Xitang. Perhaps because of the cold weather, many shops are closed for business, but they are extraordinarily quiet and simple. Most of the houses here are left over from the Qing Dynasty, quite like the buildings near Huangshan Mountain in Anhui. Alleys and small streets are winding and twisting, criss-crossing, small river narrowing, old dwellings, etc. to restore and show a strong water town style. In the scenic area, the attractions of the six major venues such as Jiangxi Guild Hall, Jinyuyuan, Dachang Dangpu, Jiahe Shuiyu, Gaogongsheng Sauce Garden and Caishentang are gathered. Yuehe Street District is a place to visit the old days of Jiangnan Fucheng, and taste the bustling tourist attractions of the century.

▪️There are many old streets and alleys in the Jiangnan region, and Yuehe Street in Jiaxing is one of them. It's not particularly famous, and I've visited twice. The first time was about six years ago. I came and went in a hurry, and it didn't seem to have any special features or highlights. ▪️This time, I decided to come here on a whim to have some tea. I chose the Qiancha Courtyard on Yuehe Street. Although it's in the scenic area, it's off the main street, so there are far fewer people, especially in the evening. ▪️Although the design of the scenic area is not much different from other old streets, there are more museums here, which adds a lot of cultural atmosphere. What surprised me even more was the old street under the setting sun, coupled with the sunset glow in the sky. It was like a different way to experience it, incredibly beautiful. ▪️Overall, it's an above-average ancient town and old street. If you come to Jiaxing, it's still worth a visit. The main reason being: you're already here! ▪️If you're traveling from out of town specifically for this, it's not necessary. 📍Address: No. 22, Jianguo North Road, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City 🚗Transportation: Buses 23, 24, and 6 can take you directly there.
