In ancient times, when you were going out of town, which mode of transportation would you choose?

The ancient means of transportation were nothing more than land and water.

Of course, you choose to take a sedan chair by land, because people who can take a sedan chair are usually people with certain status and economic strength. You are either a senior official or a noble person. Of course, sedan chairs are hierarchical, and Song Taizong stipulates that non-product officials are not allowed to take warm sedan chairs. In Jingtai for four years in the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that you could take a sedan chair with more than three products in Beijing.

By boat, of course. Yang Di built the Grand Canal to see Qionghua in Yangzhou, which shows that it was a fast and comfortable way to travel by boat in ancient times.
