Zibo is a must-visit! Zhoucun Ancient City is very nice, and it does not lose to the ancient towns in the south

Before going, I did my homework. Zhoucun Ancient City is considered one of the top 3 must-visit places in Zibo. I originally thought it was a newly built pseudo-ancient construction, but it turned out to be a genuine ancient town. The history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty's Yongle years. Some of the buildings in the ancient town are mottled and peeling, showing the signs of weathering over time. The ancient town is open-style and does not charge an entrance fee. Some of the exhibition halls inside will sell tickets separately. There are not many dining options in the town, mainly miscellaneous goods, and you can buy some local tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and tea. Although there are also many shops that look the same as those in other national scenic spots, overall, it still has its own style and does not lose to other well-known ancient towns by three points.
