## About Jinggang Ancient Town

Jinggang Ancient Town has a long history and a rich cultural heritage. The houses along the river are all stilt houses, giving it the distinctive character of a Jiangnan water town. The town still preserves many wooden ancient buildings, and structures from the Qing dynasty, such as Hongtai Fang and Yuying Hall, are in excellent condition. The town's folk arts are varied and vibrant, and wooden clogs, paper umbrellas and kites were once hugely popular.
