2. Fotang Ancient Town

Fotang town is a popular destination in Yiwu's countryside. The 1,500-year-old settlement features traditional buildings adorned with stone and wood carvings, and is celebrated for its merchant culture and sweet snacks.

Fotang gained additional fame in 2017 when it was featured in the popular reality show Keep Running, starring Chinese celebrities Lu Han and Dilraba Dilmurat.

The town's Wanshan Floating Bridge was originally built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) with donations collected during Emperor Qianlong's reign. Fotang was once a prosperous trade hub with a busy port. Over two dozen wooden boats are connected by iron chains and covered with planks.

In 2017, the bridge was rebuilt, and today, the town's main street is lined with shops, restaurants, and snack bars, allowing visitors to experience the charm of days gone by.
