The residents of Chongren Ancient Town are mainly descendants of the Qiu family who were conferred by Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. The town preserves ancient houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even as early as the Song Dynasty. There are temples, ancestral halls, ancient stages, residential houses, memorial archways, pharmacies, shops, ancient bridges, wells, etc. in the town. You will suspect that you have walked into the shooting site of a Ming and Qing drama. The gate walls of each gate in the ancient town are tall, all made of blue bricks and grey tiles, with white walls and hard mountain tops, and high walls and deep courtyards. The partition fans, doors and windows have fine carvings with exquisite craftsmanship and are indescribably wonderful. The houses are adjacent to each other and the roads are connected. They are both perfectly matched and independent. Now there is an ancient street remaining in the town – Zhijie Street, which retains some of the early commercial atmosphere. On this ancient post road, some traditional handicraft workshops have gathered now. If you are a foodie, please remember that there is Chen’s stewed duck that appeared in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of 150 years so far. And the Xixi tofu skin here has a glorious history of more than 300 years. Open all year round and open all day. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
