Speaking of ancient towns and ancient cities, people often think of Old Town of Lijiang, Pingyao, Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen and other famous ancient cities, but ignore those ancient cities that are not well-known but have a long history and profound cultural heritage. "Meicheng Ancient Town" is one of them.

The ancient town of Meicheng in history is the seat of the ancient Yanzhou government, which has a history of more than 1000 years and is known as the "Half Plum Blossom City".

Meicheng Ancient Town, located about 25 kilometers northwest of jiande city, Zhejiang Province, is located at the intersection of Xin 'anjiang, Lanjiang and Fuchunjiang, with a unique geographical position. Meicheng was called Yanzhou in ancient times, and its history can be traced back to four years in Huang Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, the ancient town of Meicheng was a county with a history of nearly 1800 years, and Meicheng was also the seat of county administration.

In the first year of Tang Dynasty, the government moved to Meicheng. Since then, Meicheng has always been the seat of the state capital, and the later Yanzhou government is also in Meicheng. It can be seen that the ancient town of Meicheng in history is very prosperous. The reason why it became the seat of the state capital has a lot to do with local traffic. Located in parallel with the three rivers, the land and water transportation is convenient, which also makes Meicheng's economy very prosperous.

Today's Meicheng ancient town has obviously lost its former prosperity and turned into an obscure and little-known ordinary town. Fortunately, many historical sites and profound cultural heritage have been preserved. In addition, Meicheng is located in Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort in the north, facing the Sanjiangkou, with very beautiful scenery, which can be regarded as an outstanding place.

The oldest and most famous historical relic preserved in Meicheng Ancient Town is the ancient city wall here. The ancient city wall is located between the Millennium ancient town and the river. The river is a natural barrier, and the ancient city wall is its second solid barrier. The ancient city wall has not been completely preserved, and now you can see the traces of restoration, but its majestic momentum has not diminished.

Walking into an ancient town feels like walking into an ancient town. Its main entrance is a clarification door, and there is a gatehouse on the clarification door. Standing on the gatehouse, you can overlook the river view and the whole ancient town of Meicheng.

At present, the economy of Meicheng Ancient Town is still very developed, and it is an important economic town in jiande city. It has successively won the titles of "National Thousand Strong Towns" and "Central Town of Zhejiang Province", especially the industrial economy is very developed. In recent years, it has also taken the Millennium ancient city as an opportunity to develop tourism.

When you come to the ancient town of Meicheng, you must have heard of this word, that is, "Half Plum Blossom City". The origin of the name of Meicheng was named after a section of the ancient city wall along the river was laid in the shape of plum blossom. Because the plum blossom is half-flowered, that is, half of the plum blossom city, it can be compared with Beijing and Nanjing, so it is called "two and a half plum blossoms in the world, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing and half of Meicheng".

An ancient stone road street is facing the ancient city wall, which is the core street of Meicheng and the main area for traveling here now. Perhaps it is because the tourism development time is short, and not many tourists are known. Walking in the street gives people a slightly deserted feeling.

However, the history of Meicheng ancient town is true and its cultural heritage is very profound. If we dig deeper in the future, I believe Meicheng Ancient Town will definitely stand out among many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, Meicheng is rich in tourism resources. Just the ancient city wall and this ancient street are enough to shock people. The ancient city wall has the best view, the ancient street has the most fireworks atmosphere, and there are not many tourists, which makes people feel very quiet.

In history, many literati came here to travel. Famous literati, such as Fan Zhongyan, Lu You, Du Mu, etc., have been officials here, and famous poets, such as Li Bai and Xie Lingyun, have traveled here, leaving many well-known poems for Meicheng, which are also worth digging and developing.
