Hexia Ancient Town is one of the best-preserved historical and cultural towns along the Grand Canal, with a history of over a thousand years.
Once a prosperous commercial hub during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hexia Ancient Town features traditional residences, stone-paved streets, and ancient merchant buildings. It is also the birthplace of Wu Cheng’en, the author of Journey to the West. The town reflects the prosperity of canal trade and the cultural richness of ancient Huai’an.
