There are many ancient villages and ancient towns on this land. Time has accumulated rich memory. Let’s take a look at Gaochun The 7 most beautiful ancient villages and ancient towns. How many places have you been to?
Gaochun Old Street
Gaochun Old Street is the most fully preserved ancient street in the East China region, and is one of the top ten historical and cultural streets in the country. There is the most well-preserved ancient building complex in Jiangsu Province. It is known as the "Second Confucius Temple in Jinling" and is known as the "First Ancient Street in Jinling". It has a history of more than 900 years since the official establishment of the street market in the Song Dynasty.
The houses and wooden doors and windows highlight the characteristics of Huizhou ; both sides of the street are paved with gray stone, which is neat and beautiful, with harmonious colors; there are very few shops on both sides of other ancient towns, such as tourist souvenirs, and they operate in Gaochun's local specialties, which lack the impetuous commercial atmosphere.
2 Gucheng Ancient Town
Gucheng Ancient Town is located on the east bank of Gucheng Lake, Gaochun District. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu 号 built here, building Sezhuyi, and built Gucheng . The earth wall is solid and is known as "solid as a golden soup". The city was 208 years earlier than Jinling Yihai, and it is the first ancient city in Nanjing. It was later occupied by Chu as the capital of Xingdu. The famous scenery here such as "Smoke and Rain of Gucheng" and "Singing of Huashan Qiao" were once praised by literati and scholars of all dynasties.
Gucheng has rich cultural heritage. Chaoduntou site, Gucheng site , Yuquan Temple , Liujialong Wanshoutai Opera House, Double Girl Tomb and other famous places and historical sites; the story of Wu Zixu and the Washing Saw Girl, the legend of the folk song " Huashan Ji HTML ", the legend of Cui Zhiyuan and the Twin Girl Tomb, and the legend of Bai Peony in Huashan are well-known; traditional dances such as Wu Wuchang, Shishan Tail Dragon, and Qiaotou Horse Lantern have been passed down for a long time, and folk activities have unique regional characteristics of Wu Feng and Chu.
3 Qiqiao Ancient Village
is located in the northeast of Gaochun District. It is surrounded by water on all sides, and is a unique and peaceful village.
Ancient Paint Bridge was built in Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was formerly called "Nanling". In the late Western Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Pingdang resigned from his official position in order to avoid the rebellion of Wang Mang, and brought his family to live in seclusion here. In order to facilitate the passage of the tribe, a wooden bridge was built on the river. According to historical records, the bridge was "exposed with elixir paint" because lacquer was a very precious material in ancient times. The locals called this bridge "Qiaqiao", called this river "Qiaqiao River", and called this place "Qiaqiao Bridge".
Paint Bridge has been a major transportation route connecting southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui since the Han Dynasty. In ancient times, there were checkpoints and city towers that entered and exited in the south and north of the bridge, which was a must-pass place for the ancient post road. The Yue Family Army built a city here and fought repeatedly with the Jin soldiers here. Today, the Beiguanmen Tower of Qiqiao has also been rebuilt, with the ancient colors, which are particularly eye-catching and has become a tourist attraction in Gaochun.
In the past, the lacquer bridge mainly connects water transportation through rivers. The water from the southern foot of Zhengtou Mountain in Lishui County, Longdun River and Lishan flows into the same city lake through Qiqiao River, with a total length of 13 kilometers. As the intersection of water and land, Qiqiao has been a well-known market for many years, with both purchasing and selling well, making it a famous market in Gaochun.
Qiqiao Old Street , which has been preserved to this day, is 500 meters long, surrounded by water on the east, south and west, and has a vertical length of more than 1,000 meters. The main street extends in arc shape, the tunnel is symmetrical, and the entire plane layout is similar to the centipede-shaped.
went deep into the streets and alleys here and looked at it. Many old-fashioned houses still retained brick-built symmetrical air-flow ventilation windows, commonly known as "high eyebrows and low eyes"; wealthy families have thick walls on doors, with door covers outside, and "door pools" and anti-theft support door bars inside. This type of Ming Dynasty style is rare and difficult to find as an ancient Jiangnan house style.
Walking on the old street, the eaves of the old houses on both sides are raised outside, and the door lintels are carved with exquisite patterns, which makes people look ancient and vicissitudes. Although some window lattices and door eyebrows are full of decay, they make people think of the past 2,000 years of time intertwined... The ancient bridges of the Han Dynasty, ancient wells of the Song Dynasty, and Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings are vivid in my mind, and the oldest house was built in the Yuan Dynasty.
What is little known is that Qiqiao is a larger settlement of the descendants of the Kong family except Qufu , Shandong. Since Kong Wenyu, the 54th generation grandson of the descendant of Confucius , settled in Qiqiao, the descendants of the Kong family have reproduced and thrived here and formed a huge Kong family system in Jiangnan. It has been more than 700 years since the "Jiangnan Kongfu Hall" on the street was built for a long time and has been repaired several times after war. There is an upright bronze statue of Confucius, and there is also a ancestral teaching pattern of "worrying about the way but not the poverty".
The Kong family's family style of "respecting Confucianism and respecting Taoism, and valuing righteousness over profit" had an extremely profound impact on Qiqiao, forming a simple and righteous folk custom. It also nurtured generations of Qiqiao children.
4 Tangjia Village
Tangjia Village in Dongba is full of ancient charm, with a village area of more than 80 mu, and there are more than 20 buildings in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Dongba Opera Tower is listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit, Tang Yuguo's former residence, Tang Yuzhao's former residence, and Tang Hongbing's former residence are listed as "Unmovable Cultural Relics in Gaochun District".
Dongba Dama Lantern is the most complete representative work of the Tang family (exclusive to the Tang family) to this day, and can be called "a unique Jiangnan". Dongba Town was named "China's Folk Culture and Art Town" by the Ministry of Culture of China in January 2011.
5 Dashan Village
When it comes to Gaochun, many people will think of "slow city", and Dashan Village is one of the symbols of this slow city. Green mountains and clear waters, wild flowers, and the distinctive ancient houses are dotted, which makes people fascinated.
The big mountain village is located among the mountains, quiet and beautiful. Two mountains, one temple and one stage, six ponds and two warehouses and one ancient well, ancient villages and ancient trees and ancient buildings, new appearance and new style. That's what I'm talking about.
Walking on the country road, you can see the lazy time flowing slowly here. Gaochun Wenfeng Pagoda and Dashan Temple, which were built in in the Ming Dynasty, are located in this beautiful village and are also worth visiting.
6 Xishe Village
Xishe Village is located in Yuejin Village, Yaxi Street. The village area is 160 mu. Fine fields are cultivated around the village, and the natural water system is accessible. Xishe Village was once the base camp and source of the anti-Japanese guerrilla base in Ligao area.

The trees in the village are green, gray walls and black tiles, and the old buildings are simple in charm, like a hidden and quiet "paradise".
