In Xinzhou, Shanxi Province in northern China, an ancient block surrounded by city walls and gate towers has emerged as a historical and tourist landmark.
With a history stretching back over 1,800 years, the Xinzhou Ancient City was reconstructed in accordance with traditional Chinese planning concepts and architectural styles.
This block still preserves many cultural and historical attractions, including ancient buildings, traditional courtyards, and museums that display the area's abundant heritage.
One of the highlights is the Xiurong Academy Museum, which contains a collection of artifacts and exhibits that offer a glimpse into the lives of people who have been living in the area for centuries.
Visitors can explore the meandering streets and alleyways where charming shops and restaurants line both sides and offer local cuisine and souvenirs. Wandering around the ancient streets gives one the feeling of exploring a Chinese painting scroll.
Visitors can also participate in a variety of cultural activities, such as traditional handicraft workshops, calligraphy classes, and local music and dance performances.
