Shuicheng flavor

The ancient town is small and smells like a "water city". It passes by in one stroke, with stone roads paved with bluestones on both sides, and sheds and corridors in some places. There are several iron suspension bridges on the water, and there is an ancient banyan tree by the river, which is intertwined. It is said that it has a history of nearly a thousand years and is the symbol of the ancient town. Tourists have to take photos here every time they come here. The fish in Huanglongxi is also a must. The old people said: "Seven times, eight times and nine times", which means that every year from the solar terms of slight cold and severe cold to July of the following year, the fish from the downstream come back to the river in droves to lay eggs here, so the fish in Huanglongxi are very rich. The most authentic way to eat fish in the local area is to have a pot of "river boiled live fish" on the boat. The seemingly crude way of eating can make people enjoy the delicious game.
