I think some tourists say: Zhenjiang Ancient Town has a strong commercial atmosphere; Although the residents of the local town are still living and working in these old houses and ancient towns, all aspects of the ancient town are also commercialized. Frankly speaking, this is not a point that cannot be accepted, such a livable and playable small town has shown the characteristics of Jiangnan, which is indeed a good choice in Jiangnan. Following the trend of capitalist society, this ancient town has integrated the smoke and fog of local characteristics with commercialization, which provides tourists with many travel conveniences; Isn't this a good thing? “
