Xia Guan Ancient Village - a village in Yongzhou with beautiful mountains and rivers, and a land of outstanding people

The ancient village of Wanjing Town in Ningyuan County has a history of over 1500 years. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with three rivers running through the village, resembling a large ship anchored here. The eight scenic spots of Guanxi have attracted many scholars and literati since ancient times to come and enjoy the mountains and waters, including the traveler Xu Xiake. Xu Xiake came here because of its fame and was so enchanted that he exclaimed, 'Having toured Jiuyi but not coming here, one almost misses its true essence.' Xia Guan Ancient Village is also a rare village of top scholars in history, having produced 2 top imperial exam scholars (Zhuangyuan), Li He of the Tang Dynasty and Yue Lefa of the Song Dynasty. In addition, there were 4 generals and 48 Jinshi (successful candidates in the imperial examinations). Whether from the perspective of scenery or history, it is not an exaggeration to call it 'the number one village in the south of the Yangtze River.' It is worth exploring.
