fengjing ancient townIt has a history of more than 1500 years. In ancient times, it belonged to the "Land of Ancient Yue".It is a typical ancient town in Jiangnan water town. The ancient town is surrounded by water networks, with vertical and horizontal rivers. It is known as "two bridges in three steps and ten harbors in one view." The four ancient buildings that are still well preserved today include Heping Street, Production Street, North Street and Youhao Street. Most of them are in the Ming and Qing styles, and all have the characteristics of traditional Jiangnan pink walls and black tiles.


Famous people in Fengjing: Ding Cong (master of comic books), Cheng Shifa (master of traditional Chinese painting), Zhu Xuefan (first Minister of Posts and Telecommunications)

Fengjing Four Treasures: Shanghai Shikumen Yellow Rice Wine, Fengjing Ding Thoof, Dried tofu, Zhuangyuan Cake


After staying in the city for a long time, I want to go for a walk around. Previously, when the company was in Jinshan, we only took a shuttle bus back and forth. I heard about Fengjing Ancient Town, but never made it. This month, I always wanted to go out for a walk. Baidu checked that there is a direct bus at Jinjiang Park. It's quite convenient.


Route: Fengjing Promenade--Production Street--Heping Street--North Street--South Street--Youhao Street--Qingfeng Street

2020.10.23 Take the Fengmei Line at Southwest Bus Station of Jinjiang Park. The day was particularly smooth. There was a Fengmei Line as soon as we arrived at the station. It took about an hour to get off at Fengjing Pailou

The walls along the road are printed with Shen Rongcheng's poem "Fengxi Bamboo Branch Ci" in the Qing Dynasty. There are poems, explanations and pictures. It seems that I have traveled to that era and wandered in the ancient town.

Fengjingpaifang: Antique archway, with the eye-catching word "Fengjing" above it, was inscribed by Cheng Shifa, a late master of traditional Chinese painting. The entire archway is 12 meters high and 14 meters wide, with three rooms and four pillars.

Fengxi Promenade: The original length was more than 1000 meters, but it has now been restored to 268 meters. There is a saying that "you don't hold umbrellas in summer and your shoes will not be wet when it rains."


Wu Yuejie Monument:During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this river is the boundary of Wu and Yue, and the north is Wu and the south is Yue---.


White walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water---

Because a person is wandering around and sees Ctrip's voice explanation and promotion on the roadside, he can scan the code for 6 yuan to get a general understanding of the characteristics of each scenic spot.

The coffee shop in Wang Manni's hometown was filmed in the hit drama "Thirty Only". It was not open at around 10 o'clock when it arrived.


The specialty drink in the store is dichlorvos, which is not the pesticide dichlorvos (When I was a child, I often heard adults say that someone in the village quarreled and drank dichlorvos and committed suicide. When I saw it here, I remembered something deep in my memory when I was a child. At that time, I didn't know anything about death, and I didn't feel the departure of others. However, as I grew older, I realized that the departure of relatives was painful to the bones)

Interior of the coffee shop

After shopping around, I returned to Qiongchi No. 9 at around 2 pm, ordered a crepe and sat by the river in a daze.



Walking slowly along the Fengxi Corridor, there is a wall engraved with Shen Rongcheng's poem

Aliu steamed meat store

Nowadays, the ancient town is full of meat dumplings

This is a bullfrog, not a frog! When I was a child, I used to catch frogs in summer. I had never heard of bullfrogs. After school, I hung them on the legs of caterpillars or small frogs for ducks to eat. At that time, the rice fields could hear the sound of frogs, and the children were also young and ignorant--catching them with flashlights at night during the day became a dish on the table, an authentic farm dish. Now it is clearly stipulated that frogs cannot be caught.

Most of the people who stroll around in the morning are elderly people, who have money and leisure time, but still bring big guys with them.

Not in the autumn, but in the rice (rice for making rice dumplings)

Royal jelly is now sold on site--

Typical farmhouse living room layout

Water chestnut is very delicious. The owner said that it was the last batch of the year. He bought some for the road first, but later he bought it and there was no more. I grew up in rural areas in Jiangnan, and I was very happy every time during the water chestnut picking season. We would take a large plastic tub or a large wooden basin to pick water chestnut, and sometimes we would paddle a small boat. However, most adults rarely allow children to go on their own, because some children picking water chestnuts and falling into the mud and couldn't get up. Therefore, we usually go secretly. If we get our clothes wet, we will dry them and go home as if it was nothing. The interesting memories of childhood are still very beautiful.


Eastern District Fire Policy Association It was built in the early years of the Republic of China. It was called "Longwangtang"(also known as the Fire Fighting Club), taking the meaning of the Dragon King Kehuo

It is the seat of the Fengjing East District Fire Administration Association during the Republic of China, and it is also the only remaining site of a relatively complete modern fire protection institution in Shanghai.


fire boats: This is the only remaining and last retired fireboat in Shanghai. It was built in 1952 and was retired until 1993. It served for 41 years.

After crossing Taiping Bridge, you will reach Heping Street


Fengjing Ancient Stage:The stage is an outdoor stage specially used for performances in ancient times. The Fengjing Ancient Theater was built on the City God Temple Square, with one side attached to the street and the other side facing the river. Whenever a performance was performed, audiences who came by boat from the waterway could sit on the boat and watch the drama.

Very rich families build stages in their houses or ancestral halls. In ordinary rural areas, stage stages are built in dry fields or open areas near the village. The latter was called "Caotai" in the Qing Dynasty because it was simple and unstable. The artist team that performs from village to house in rural areas is therefore called the "grass stage team"
When I was a child, I often took Xiaobanan and followed adults to other villages to go to theaters. For a while, I was very fond of Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera. Later, I once participated in an activity abroad and wanted to perform a program. I really realized that I didn't have the talent to give it away, so I sang a piece of Huangmei Opera to make up for the number.

Shanghai Yuanpai Painting Academy:Tickets are 5 yuan



Former site of the People's Commune:Seeing a house like this makes me think of the school where I went to elementary school, which is also the same



Lu Jiren Painting Museum:

Lu Jiren, a Chinese painter living in the United States, is the only Chinese person in China to win the gold medal in Chinese painting in the United States. He is a classmate of the famous painter Chen Yifei.

No. 21 Heping Street is a cultural and creative store. The owner happened to be in the store and chatted with her for a long time. She is from Sichuan and has studied choreography at the Shanghai Academy of Drama. She has two twin daughters, one at Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and the other at the Sichuan Academy of Music. She is also a fan of Hepburn. There are many portraits of Hepburn around the wall, and there are also special services. You can imitate and take photos and print them on pillows, cups, fans-----------She showed me that she photographed a Taiwanese guy in the ancient town of the Republic of China. It was very interesting! Friends who are interested in going can pay attention

Next door is her husband's studio, who is also an artist, painting and wood carvings

I really like this kind of house with a small courtyard--growing flowers, grass, and drinking tea---

Built in the Ming DynastyRuihong Bridge, located at the Hongqiao River estuary, the "Hongqiao Bloody Case" known as "China's earliest workers 'strike movement" occurred here in the early days of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The Beijing Museum of Chinese History records and displays this incident, and in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683) a monument was erected for this purpose in the Holy Hall.


Fengjing Bus Station

Return trip: Ancient Town-Take a taxi to the station, take the Lianfeng Line to Nanfang Shangcheng


Summary: The ancient town is not very big, so I just leisurely stroll around, have a look and eat. In the morning, most of the elderly are old, and in the afternoon, there are more young people. It is very comfortable and comfortable. After visiting for almost 5 hours, I originally wanted to go to the nearby Chinese Peasant Painting Village to have a look, but later I gave up when time ran out. I didn't buy a ticket, so I didn't enter the scenic spot and took a look at the door.

Line: Round trip ticket 12*2=24

Eat: It's more casual for one person, snacks on the street, crepes 35 yuan


Tips : 1. It is quite convenient to take a bus to Shanghai. When you come back, you have to go to the bus station and take the Fengmei Line or Lianfeng Line back to the city.

2. You can pick up tourist maps or some pamphlets from the visitor center, or you can consult the teller for some general introductions. They are extremely enthusiastic.
