Scenic spot introduction:
Nanyang Ancient Town in Weishan was once one of the four famous canal towns and was known as "Little Suzhou in Jiangbei". In China, there are very few historical towns where rivers pass through islands, but the ancient canal that runs through Nanyang Island is still gurgling. The small island, ancient town, canal, and large lake are integrated into one. This kind of urban landscape is unique in the country.The ancient town was built along the canal. When it was prosperous, there were more than ten places of interest in Nanyang. Emperor Qianlong also stayed in the town when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. Yaxing wrote a plaque for Majiadian. The threshold he walked through is treasured. 230 years long. The beautiful natural landscape, the simple water town customs, the ancient city, ancient streets, and ancient buildings often evoke people's memories of history, and visitors seem to have returned to the bustling scene of Nanyang's past.
