Qintong Ancient Town

Qintong Ancient Town

Qintong Ancient Town is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

With a profound history spanning two thousand years and a deep cultural heritage, this small town in the Lixia River area boasts a unique charm. The traditional architectural layout, distinctive cultural landscapes, and simple local customs are truly captivating and leave visitors lingering with fond memories.

In the past, there were eight scenic spots that adorned the area: East Watch Returning Fishermen, South Temple Study Tower, West Courtyard Locust Trees, North Village Buddhist Temple, Board Bridge Autumn Moon, Dyke Willow Spring Orioles, Flower Shadows Clear Spring, and Buddhist Chamber Bamboo Grove. In the mid-to-late 20th century, several additional cultural sites were established, such as the Yangtze River Park, Qintong Grand View Garden, and One Step Two Temples. Even today, in the old town area, you can still find small bridges over flowing water, secluded homes in quiet alleys, bluestone-paved streets, and old wells in courtyards. The past and present reflect each other, with ancient charm and modern vibes shining together. The uniquely island-like town environment, along with relics of notable figures, historical remains, traditional crafts, and specialty foods, all offer a refreshing experience.

“Do not say southern flowers are like brocade — Qintong’s watery land surpasses the south.” The millennium-old town of Qintong will leave you with wonderful memories and endless reverie.
