Description: |

Fengjing Ancient Town owns a history of more than 1,500 years.
Unique customs, simple and honest folkways, and idyllic
scenery have made it a typical waterside township in south
China. The town is the hometown of folk arts and Chinese rice
wine. The town is National AAAA Scenery Area and has been
selected as one of "the Eight Shanghai Must-Sees."There are 29
streets and blocks, and 84 lanes in the town. Among them,
ancient Heping Street, Shengchan Street, Beida Street and Youhao
Street are well preserved. Fengjing Town is the only large-scale
and beautifully preserved ancient water town in Shanghai. With
great cultural diversity, several notable talents have emerged
from Fengjing Town. Cartoons by Ding Cong, paintings by Cheng
Shifa, Jinshan Peasants Painting and the Weiqi skill of Gu
Shuiru are called "three paintings and one game" of the town.
The town is also famous for its delicious food, including golden
maple rice wine, Fengjing braised pig's feet, scholar cake and
bean curd. |
