Historical Cicheng

  Cicheng is a famous historical and cultural town of Zhejiang Province near the East Sea and beside the Yaojiang River.

  With a history extending over thousands of years, Cicheng has a deeply rooted culture. In an area of about five square kilometers, there are 33 cultural relic sites under local and state-level protection.

  Meanwhile, Cicheng is rich in cultural figures. From the Tang and Song dynasties through the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were 519 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations or Presented Scholars). In modern times, celebrities such as Zhou Xinfang, Qin Runqing, Ying Changqi, Tan Jiazhen and Feng Jicai all hail from Cicheng.

  The cultural value of the ancient county of Cicheng stems not only from its long history of humanity, but also from its unique natural beauty. Hills and streams enhance each other and enhance the town’s allure.

  If you want to witness a timeless culture and experience traditional Confucian style and customs in a country atmosphere, you may want to visit historical Cicheng, the “First Ancient County” of South China!
