Diverse cultural sites, activities refresh China’s ancient lane
Modern business formats including homestays give new vitality to traditional buildings in Qingguo lane of Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province. ( Taste all China /Xie Di) The Qingguo lane historical and cultural block, located on the banks of the ancient canal in Changzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, embodies a rich cultural legacy and bolsters cultural bonds between the past and the present.
