- Zhongtian Ancient Residence, Changning City, Hengyang City, Hunan Province

The largest military village fort in Hunan, with a history of over 600 years. Benches, ancient brick walls, blue tiles, stone slabs, stone walls, ancient farm tools, and moss-covered stone roads. A fortress that can be defended and attacked. Standing here, you can feel the 600 years of history flowing quietly under your feet. - Zhongtian Village Ancient Residence was built in the second year of Yongle (1404) and took shape in the mid-Qing Dynasty. The houses here have no corridors or eaves, and the narrow strip windows face the alleys, with doorsteps of varying heights. This unique architectural style makes it difficult for "foreign enemies" to burn the houses easily, while the narrow strip windows make it easy to observe the movements of "enemies" outside, and can be used for ventilation and lighting inside the house. - The neat alleys crisscross like a tightly arranged "chessboard" connecting the main trunk and branches. The alleys are not wide, unlike ancient commercial streets that vary in width according to the terrain. They strictly adhere to the same dimensions, only allowing two or three people to pass side by side, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. - After more than 600 years, many old houses, patios, and alleys have been preserved despite the erosion of wind and rain. There are no bustling streets or noisy crowds here, allowing you to enjoy the unique mystery and tranquility👣~ ⏰Best season: All year round ⌛Recommended duration: 1 day 🍝Local delicacies: Changning cold noodles, steamed snails, pan-fried yellow eel, mountain delicacies, rice bran steamed meat. 👉Specialty recommendations: Changning tea oil, Changning ginger, Tashan mountain tea, "Changning Eight Treasures" 👀Nearby attractions: Quanjing Village, Dayi Mountain, Liao Family Shangwan Ancient Residence 📍Address: Zhongtian Ancient Residence, Changning City, Hengyang City, Hunan Province.
