(231002) -- TAIYUAN, Oct. 2, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Zhang Hailong presents a vinegar product in the Qikou ancient town of Linxian County, north China's Shanxi Province, Sept. 26, 2023. Zhang once worked as a truck driver and opened a vinegar shop in the Qikou ancient town in 2018. Qikou, an ancient riverine town along the Yellow River, was an important trade ferry in history. However, with the development of land transportation, the Qikou ancient town declined in terms of trade volume, leaving many of its historical buildings in disrepair. In recent years, local authorities have carried out protection and restoration of historical buildings and ancient dwellings in the Qikou ancient town. At the same time, the integrated development of culture and tourism is also promoted. Today the ancient town has become a popular tourist attraction. More than 5,000 people out of a population of about 30,000 in the town are engaged in the tourism industry. (Photo by Liu Liangliang/Xinhua)
