Zhongshan Ancient Town is a nationally recognized historic and cultural town. Dating back to the Southern Song dynasty, its old street stretches about 1.5 km along the Sunxi River, lined with wooden stilted houses and timber-frame buildings. Scenic spots include Longtang, Sanhechang, and Tongxinfang. Visitors can drink tea in riverside teahouses, eat tofu pudding with rice and Jiangjin cured pork, and spend the night in a wooden-house inn. The old town is free to enter and gets busy on weekends.
