In recent years, the rise of tourism has benefited many areas, so many cities are transforming into tourist cities to improve the local economic development level. However, the strong commercial atmosphere of many scenic spots has caused some aesthetic fatigue to tourists, and the mood of playing will also be affected by the same commercial atmosphere. But today I want to introduce a strange place, which only charges during working hours and does not charge after work.
It is the Dangkou ancient town located in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Compared with other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Dangkou ancient town seems to be less famous. However, this ancient town has the charm of Jiangnan style and the comfort of the ancient town in the south. It is one of the historical and cultural blocks to be protected. Because it is close to Suzhou, Changshu and other places, there are some ancient tombs of historical figures around, and there are not a few tourists coming here every day. The traffic is good.
Dangkou ancient town is different from other scenic spots. It will close at the prescribed business hours. On the contrary, tourists will not be forbidden to enter the ancient town, and the staff will leave normally after work. So some tourists who come here will find out why sometimes they charge tickets and sometimes they don't. The charging system is so strange. If you happen to come to the ancient town a little late and the staff have already left work, it's really profitable.
Of course, food is also an important business card of a scenic spot. In Dangkou ancient town, you can find the most famous walking meat. Every once in a while, you can see shops selling oil and meat. If you want to taste the local flavor of Wuxi, you can choose Qinyuan Xiaolong. The most popular snacks are crab yellow steamed buns and fresh meat steamed buns. But if you really want to experience the antique Jiangnan style, you can go to the famous kitchen in Washington, where it is very comfortable.
Dangkou ancient town is so capricious, allowing tourists to evade tickets. Maybe everyone is surprised and can't figure out how it works. In fact, it is mainly for the convenience of tourists. Accommodation in the ancient town is very convenient. You don't have to worry about accommodation if you play too late.
