1. It's very close to the Four-hole Trench. Passing by, I went to see it. The ancient town is very historic and worth visiting. There is a special parking lot, convenient parking, parking fee 5 yuan. It's better than you think. It's not so remote. There are towns, hotels and restaurants in the old town. Of course, it's not as good as you think. 2. There is not too much commercialization in the ancient town. All the people living in the town are local people. They love planting flowers. They have nothing to do with tourism. Hydrangea is very beautiful. Ancient town tours are casual, the town is not big, soon finished, like to stay a little longer, do not like to take a glance and then go away. Tickets are 10 yuan and there are many exports. 3. Datong Ancient Town, with convenient land and water transportation, can reach Chongqing, Wuhan and Shanghai through the Chishui River into the Yangtze River. Various native products and raw and ripe medicinal materials from the dry road are delivered and transported here. Old wharfs were very large. When wooden bamboo rafts floated down the river, half of the river was covered with bamboo. Freighters supplied and repaired their sails here. The existing buildings of the ancient town were built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The buildings are connected by the vertical and horizontal axes of the streets, and arranged in one line. After stepping on the bluestone steps, the halls donated by businessmen from all over the country, the luxurious houses, the ancestral halls of the prestigious clan, a set of sacrificial buildings and ingenious designs have been preserved. Although they have become the stories of yesterday, they still retain the rigorous, meticulous, honest and noble spirit of the business community. In the most prosperous period, in a small town with less than 300 families, there were sixty or seventy iron shops open. Business flourished at home. Small iron tools such as nails and tips used on old ships became the main industrial products in Datong. At that time, there were few quiet days in Datong. The tinkling of iron and the sound of bellows were accompanied by the shouts of congratulations from ships to ships. Now everything is in the past. Dry roads have been built, goods have been diverted, and the stone steps of the wharf left behind are in a mess. No merchant ships have been moored for a long time.
