Qibao Ancient Town, dating back to the Northern Song Dynasty, has been swallowed into the city's urban fabric, but remains a popular leisure destination. Its canal-side tea-shops serve tempting local snacks. The town derived its name (meaning 'Seven Treasures') from Qibao Temple – with a history of over 1,000 years – remarkable for its Han and Tang architectural features. Qibao is a center for traditional Chinese cricket-fighting, and its insects are admired throughout the city for their ferocity.
