Not Suzhou or Hangzhou! I didn't expect there to be a Jiangnan-style ancient town in Guilin!

🏞✨Guilin's charm is not limited to its beautiful mountains and rivers. As you get to know the city, you'll find that Guilin has preserved many ancient villages from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with high horsehead walls and gray tiles that resemble the Jiangnan water towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou. 🏞✨There are many villages around Guilin, like Jiangtou Village, that have both beautiful scenery and ancient charm. The ancient houses and the surrounding landscape reflect each other. Walking along the cobblestone village roads and through the high brick walls of the Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, you feel as if you have traveled back in time. 🏡✨The village has preserved ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. These old houses are works of art in themselves. In the ancient buildings of Jiangtou Village, you can see the elegant simplicity and exquisite beauty of ancient Suzhou and Anhui architecture, as well as the decorative patterns of ancient Fujian and Guangdong architecture, which combine to form the unique charm of Jiangtou Village's old buildings. 🏡✨The ancient village's alleys crisscross each other, and the traces of time are left in every brick and tile. Most of these ancient buildings are traditional courtyard-style layouts, and each old building is like a living history book, telling the stories of miracles carved by time. 🏞✨Whether it was bad timing or these old houses are never open to the public, these old houses are all locked up, giving off a cold feeling. Only the afternoon sun shines brightly on the high walls, dazzling with blinding light. 🌠✨Only occasionally can you see a hunched old woman sitting by the lotus pond in front of the old house, staring blankly at the large but thin lotus leaves swaying in the wind, listening to the sound of autumn cicadas chirping in the trees.
