With its network of waterways and lakes, Tongli town was initially inaccessible, and therefore, it never went through the devastating war experience\u00a0that other places\u00a0faced.

The hollow and stone-paved lanes\u00a0<\/strong>
\nTongli town has several long and narrow roads, some of which are over 300 meters long. Therefore, you can take a walk down the streets for a better view.<\/p>\n

The beautiful ancient streets<\/strong>
\nThe 160-meter long road of Mingqing is a stone-paved street that preserves its original Qing and Ming dynasties styles. Some of the famous old streets here include the Sanyuan, Xinzhen, Zhuxing, Fuguan among others.<\/p>\n
