Gusu scenery tour the ancient town of Fengqiao next to Hanshan Temple
Fengqiao Ancient Town is located at the intersection of the Grand Canal, the Ancient Post Road and the Fengjiang River. Two city streets are formed along the river - Fengqiao Street and Hanshan Temple Lane, which become a city with the river and become a street because of the water, which has a unique water town charm.
Fengqiao Ancient Town is located in the main road of water and land transportation, with boats coming and going, and business travelers gathering. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Fengqiao City was already famous, and it reached unprecedented prosperity during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Tang Bohu has a poem:"Fengqiao Road outside Jinlu Gate, thousands of lights are smoky. "In the Qing Dynasty, Fengqiao has become the largest grain distribution center in the country"Fengqiao pond listens to the price of rice"said. Now the ancient town of Fengqiao maintains the simple style of pink walls and tiles, stone streets, front streets and back rivers, and scattered and straightforward, and the two ancient craft streets meet at the scenic spot of Fengqiao Tielingguan, which is a good place for tourists to sightsee and rest.
Since the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji wrote "Fengqiao Night Park", for thousands of years, all tourists who come to Suzhou have come to Fengqiao to appreciate the poetry and painting of Fengqiao.
In fact, Fengqiao is just a common single-hole stone arch bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. The Grand Canal passes through here, and here is the official road, where the north and south boats meet, and the old channel is blocked every night, and it becomes an ideal place to stop, hence the name of this bridge"Bridge closure", and later changed its name because of Zhang Ji's poems"Maple Bridge"and continues to this day.
