Worthy of at least an afternoon of your time whilst in this neck of the woods-and located just 35 kilometers from downtown Hangzhou-is a trip to Fuyang，and particularly to Longmen Ancient Town，which is a perfectly constructed Ming Dynasty town that has a history dating back more than 1，000 years.The native home of Sun Quan（Three Kingdoms Period ruler），about 65 generations of the Sun family have called Longmen home over the years.Thankfully，the place is relatively free from the usualhordes of stampeding tourists and boasts an amazing labyrinth of intact，ancient buildings and uniquely-contracted Ming and Qing dynasty style.Hua Bao Zhai（meanwhile，is an interesting enterprise that highlights Fuyang’s fine hand-made paper tradition，witha display of the entire process of paper-making，printing，binding，publication，and distribution.In fact，paper made in Fuyang is regarded as a novelty，known for its glossy and worm-proof texture as well as its pure，white color.
