I was truly amazed by this ancient town!

Having visited ancient towns all over the free shipping zone, I thought I had reached aesthetic fatigue—until I encountered Nianbodu. It has grown from an old pass into a mountain city, with streets and alleys climbing layer upon layer. The architecture blends the elegance of Zhejiang style, the simplicity of Jiangxi style, and the rustic charm of Fujian under one roof. From the dome murals of Wenchang Palace, the intangible cultural heritage tofu workshop, the Dai Li life exhibition, to the border town stories of the military official's office, we spent three hours walking and pausing, completing an in-depth reading that spans three provinces and over a century. Highly recommended.
