The Marks of Time: Strolling Through Doumen Ancient Street

Walking through Doumen Ancient Street feels like stepping into a serene painting. The well-preserved blue brick houses on both sides of the old street silently tell stories of history. Occasionally, the shouts of vendors add a touch of liveliness to this ancient street. The street is not long, but every step is filled with the joy of exploration. The small shops along the street, with their dazzling array of local specialties and antique jewelry, catch my eye. Wood carvings, pottery, old tea sets, each piece carries the marks of time, as if they could transport you back to the past. Here, I paused to savor a cup of locally distinctive fragrant tea, slowly soaking in the leisurely atmosphere of the ancient street. The dappled shadows of old trees around, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, make one slow down and appreciate the accumulation of history and culture. Doumen Ancient Street, this place hidden away from the hustle and bustle, seems to allow one to retrieve lost memories in every corner.
