## About Hongjiang Ancient Commercial City

This ancient commercial city, with over 500 years of history, was long overlooked because its buildings were converted into homes. Once known as “Little Nanjing”, it has bluestone lanes winding among more than 380 well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings. Its many palaces, halls, ancestral halls and temples, over a hundred workshops and nearly a thousand shops, each with its own character, form a vivid scroll reminiscent of “Along the River During the Qingming Festival”, reflecting the full picture of Ming and Qing urban life.
