Because of its outstanding development and great model effect, Meili Ancient Town was selected as the second batch of "Jiangsu Province Model Pedestrian Streets" last year. With an average annual passenger flow of 18 million people and 333 merchants, it has a profound cultural heritage and high commercial value.
