How to play in Zhoucun Ancient City?

🏠 About the ancient street It was one of the ancient "Four Great Docks" and is one of the traditional four famous commercial towns in China. It is also the main filming location for famous movies and TV dramas such as "To Live," "The Great Dyeing Workshop," and "Dry Dock." Therefore, in addition to the commercial shops, there are also many old cultural relics remaining, including the Mingjiao Temple that dates back to the Tang Dynasty, the ancient temple group of Kuixing Pavilion left from the Qing Dynasty, and the old residences of many historical figures, etc. 🌍 About the route The map is attached; just stroll along the north-south direction, there's not much to see east-west. It is recommended to enter from the South Gate and exit from the North Gate. Most tourists choose to enter from the North Gate and exit from the South Gate, but we choose to exit from the North Gate because we want to try the boiled pot near the North Gate around mealtime without having to backtrack. 🎫 About tickets Zhoucun Street is free, but there are 5 paid attractions, which you can buy separately or as a combined ticket. The last three are not recommended. ✅ Zhuangyuan Mansion (the residence of the martial arts top scholar Wang Yingting) ✅ The Great Dyeing Workshop (where you can learn about the dyeing process, but there are too few exhibition halls) ✅ Folklore Exhibition Hall ✅ Ticket Number Exhibition Hall ✅ KaKa Magic Photo Gallery 🥘 About sesame cakes, there are three famous ones, ✅ The sesame cake from Zhoucun Museum is the most famous and also the most expensive, available in both salty and sweet flavors ✅ The "Best in the World" sesame cake near the No Tax Stele, moderately priced, with a sweeter taste ✅ The sesame cake shop on Yinzishi Street has the cheapest prices 🍭 About food There are snacks from various places in the ancient street, but the more characteristic ones are sesame cakes and boiled pots. We went straight for the famous Ding's boiled pot, which is close to the North Gate, the same restaurant where the famous director Zhang Yimou and his actors checked in. 🚗 About transportation ✅ You can drive there, there is a parking lot ✅ There is a bus from Zibo Station ✅ It is also very convenient to take a taxi from the city
