2025 Guangshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Songqiao, dating back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was naturally the residence of the prominent Song family. Half a mile from the village lay a stretch of paddy fields running north to south, which was also the only route to Wuhan. To facilitate travelers, the Song family built a three-arched stone bridge over ten meters long, hence the name Songqiao (Song Bridge). Over time, the village has transitioned to being inhabited by the Yu family, leaving behind only remnants of ancient Song family architecture and the old place name for exploration. Standing on the ancient Songqiao, one can see rows of well-arranged courtyards stretching over 200 meters eastward, with blue bricks and dark tiles. Originally, seven grand gate towers symbolizing the Big Dipper stood here, though only two remain today. Despite their weathered appearance, the guardian beasts atop the gate towers still exude a majestic spirit, embodying resilience and bearing witness to Songqiao's centuries of prosperity and vicissitudes. Fifth Batch of China's Traditional Villages.

Gongchong Village was established during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, named after the burial site of Yuan dynasty top scholar Gong Youfu. The south-facing village features a three-dimensional landscape of "distant mountains - nearby hills - terraced fields - ponds - settlement". Its main full-moon-shaped front pond, flanked by crescent-shaped ponds on east and west sides, forms a "Three Stars Embracing the Moon" configuration. Circular pathways connect public nodes like gate towers and ponds. The preserved Qing dynasty north gate tower is a three-courtyard brick-wood complex with Jiangxi-style brick carvings of geometric and wave patterns. Historical relics include a Red Army well, while traditional customs like lion and dragon dances endure. As a witness to revolutionary history, Liu-Deng Army fought the Tuanshan Blockade Battle here in 1947. In 2014, it was listed in the third batch of China's Traditional Villages.

Yangfan Bridge, also known as the "Three-Arch Bridge Without Feet," is located in Yangfan Village, Yanhe Township, Guangshan County. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it spans 27 meters in length and 5 meters in width. Originally, the bridge deck was paved with granite slabs, and the railings featured granite posts with carved figures and floral patterns. In 1940, a flood in Guangshan County destroyed the railings, which were later replaced with stone piers and wooden railings organized by the Chen family. In the 1960s, the Guangshan County Transportation Bureau replaced them with the current cement railings. The discovery of this bridge holds significant value for understanding Ming Dynasty bridge architecture in China. In January 2016, it was designated as a provincial-level cultural heritage site by the People's Government of Henan Province.

Xianglou Village dates back to before the Yuan Dynasty, originally inhabited by the Xiang family, hence its name. In the early Ming Dynasty, when the Huang and Hu families migrated from Jiangxi, the village had already been abandoned due to war. The Huang and Hu families became the new residents of Xianglou Village, where they have thrived ever since. In 2018, with national funding, this dilapidated ancient village began restoration. The architectural style of Xianglou Village blends indigenous traditions of Henan and Hubei, with most walls built using slate stones, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship. Before the Ming Dynasty, roofs were typically thatched with mountain grass, but now black tiles are more common. The village houses mainly feature walls constructed from bluestone and slate, with some retaining thatched roofs. Doors and windows are mostly made of wood and bamboo, forming the distinctive "dog-head gatehouse" style. The village is built along the mountain slope in a well-arranged layout, with courtyards consisting of main rooms (bedrooms), side rooms (kitchens/storage), and livestock pens. Some houses utilize the mountain terrain to create a "upper house, lower courtyard" structure. Xianglou boasts a 3,000-acre sweetgum forest, the best-preserved and largest in Henan Province. The mountain area is lush with vegetation and rich in rare flora and fauna. It is listed among the third batch of China's Traditional Villages.

During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Yan family settled in this mountain hollow to escape war, giving the village its name. Most existing residences feature blue brick walls, gray tiles, and wooden frames, with a few sturdy rammed-earth structures that stay warm in winter and cool in summer. The architecture evolved through material changes, preserving styles from the Republic of China era, 1960s, and 1990s red-brick houses, all consistently maintaining local building traditions and courtyard layouts with distinctive southern Henan characteristics. During the Agrarian Revolution and Liberation War, Yanwa villagers actively participated in revolutionary efforts, contributing to the founding of New China. The village retains traditional U-shaped terrain-adaptive layouts, with well-preserved Qing dynasty fort walls, ancient horse tracks, and Republic-era houses. Its thriving ecosystem supports diverse wildlife. Recognized as one of China's Fifth Batch of Traditional Villages.

The lake is wide and clear. You can walk along the shore path or stand on the Dragon Bridge to watch the fine golden light rising from the water surface. On days when the weather is good, Longshan Lake always "follows the crowd". After all, no one wants to waste the good weather. You may be able to see a few cute ducks playing in the water. They are not affected by the cold weather and enjoy this wonderful time. Find a bench by the lake and sit down, close your eyes, quietly listen to the songs of the birds, and feel the caress of the breeze. All your worries will disappear at this moment. ⭐Reeds floating in the winter atmosphere When it comes to winter, reed flowers always come to mind, and Longshan Lake has just that. In winter, Longshan Lake not only has fir forests, but also reed bushes. Put on a dark coat and go shoot a group of atmospheric blockbusters with your friends. It’s even more beautiful at sunset.

Like words. ⭐Methasequoia gradually turns yellow, winter limited color The metasequoia forest in Longshan Lake attracts much attention in winter, but it is still yellow and green now, and it is still early to turn red.

It is a unique scent that combines the freshness of grass, the mellowness of leaves, and the elegance of wild flowers. ⭐See the shape of the wind on the greenway around the lake The road around the lake is flat and spacious, with lake scenery on one side and vegetation on the other. The wind blows and the yellow leaves fall, showing the traces of winter. Riding around a lake with friends, or just taking a walk aimlessly, with the wind blowing in your hair, happiness is in the moment. ⭐Looking at this bird and pavilion, it seems like we have arrived at the West Lake When my eyes touched the flying bird and the ancient tower, a wonderful feeling suddenly came to my heart. In a trance, I felt as if I had arrived at the West Lake. ⭐Wait for the sunset and watch the sunset If you have time in the evening, go to Longshan Lake to watch the sunset. As time goes by, the red clouds gradually cover the sky and are reflected on the lake, showing the beauty of "water and sky are one color". Watching the sunset, it seems like time has stood still. All worries and fatigue were thrown away at this moment.
