The starting point of Xu Xiake's Travels

Stepping into Qiantong is like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting:
· White walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water: The ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties are well-preserved, with white walls and black tiles, and high horsehead walls reflected in the clear stream, creating a beautiful picture of Jiangnan.
· Bagua water system, boats at every door: The ancient town is laid out in a "hui" shape with a double chessboard street and alley layout, surrounded by a Bagua water system, with streams flowing in front of every door, forming a unique landscape of "every house connected by flowing water and small bridges, and every household connected by cobblestone paths."
· Stone windows and wood carvings, exquisite craftsmanship: The exquisite stone window carvings and ancient wood carvings all demonstrate the superb skills of ancient craftsmen, telling the story of the ancient town's past glory and history!
