There are 72 streets in the ancient city of Hancheng, large and small, which corresponds to Confucius's 72 disciples. There are not many ancient cities with such a heart, which sets off the literati atmosphere of the ancient city of Hancheng. The names of the streets and alleys are either named after local celebrities or by the workshop industry, from which the local history can be glimpsed.
The commercial street of the ancient city runs through the north and south, nearly 1,000 meters long and nearly 8 meters wide, and it belongs to the "super street" in ancient times! Shaped like a dragon swinging its tail, the dragon head is the Jindai Pagoda of the Yuanjue Temple in the north of the ancient city, the dragon's tail is the vicissitudes of the stone bridge in the southern part of the street, and the street scattered out of the southern section is like a mighty dragon claw.
