Chikan Town, an ancient town, used to be a sea of people, but now why has it become an empty city?

Chikan Town is located in Kaiping City, Guangdong Province. The geographical location of the ancient town is very advantageous, with cities in the north and villages in the south. The ancient town belongs to the style of blending Chinese and western cultures. At that time, the ancient town was famous all over the country. Every year, some tourists visit the ancient town, but I don't know why it is lonely here.

This ancient city has really experienced several ups and downs. Most of the ancient towns in the 1920s were returned overseas Chinese, so there were various shops on the street. Later, with the outbreak of the war, the ancient town slowly declined. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it slowly recovered its prosperity with the support of the state, but for some reason, the prosperity of the ancient town did not last long.

Chikan ancient town also has many tourist attractions, such as South Tower, Jinghui Tower, Fengqing Street, Situ's Library, Arcade, Chikan Ancient Ferry, Canada Village and so on. When you arrive in the ancient town and see the perfect scenery, you must eat some delicious food. The food in the ancient town is also very distinctive, such as tofu horn, clay pot rice, Magang Seto powder, pig potatoes, Chikan duck porridge and so on.

Chikan Ancient Town was selected as a historic town in China and a national key town. In 2004, Guzhen was built into a film and television base, and has made famous films such as Storm in the West, Sanjiaxiang, drunken master 2 and The Story of Hongkong. This shows that although the ancient town has not been developed commercially, its simple temperament has attracted many people. Why did you go to such an ancient town?
