Ti Gong Sijing Ancient Town gets a new look. Sijing Ancient Town is opening to the public after a five-year renovation project, giving a facelift to the old watertown's ancient houses. Dating back to the Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279), Sijing was named for its meeting point of four (si) major rivers (jing) and many canals, streams and ponds. The centuries-old town, in a classic layout of a typical watertown on the southern bank of the Yangtze River, is abundant with stone bridges. A stroll along the old Kaijiang Road takes people back to the days of yore with the wooden and brick-laid houses still as true as they were almost a century ago.
