Introduction to ancient alleyways: The alleys in Zhenyuan have the quietness and non-conformity of Beijing hutongs; they have the beauty of the water town in Jiangnan alleys, but they do not have a flat and slopeless layout; they have the style of Chongqing's "mountain alleys". But without the noisy atmosphere of the city.
The ancient alley is located on the mountain, with uphill slopes and twists and turns. There are alleys, wells in the alleys, and ditches under the alleys. The alleys are connected to the docks, the alleys lead to post roads, and the deep residences of wealthy merchants in the alleys are all in the structure of a quadrangle. It has the style of a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River and the characteristics of being built against the mountain. The deep courtyards are surrounded by tall wind and fire walls. The doors are all slanted open. There are gorgeous gate towers and gilded plaques hanging on them, such as "Feng Tang Zhaoze" in the Fu Family Courtyard and "Innocent Family Sound" in the Yang Maoxing Courtyard. etc., all reflect the pride and ambition of the wealthy family, making them appear wealthy and wealthy.
