One-day tour to the unpopular thousand-year-old town of Heping

🏯In Shaowu, Nanping, Fujian, I discovered a seriously underestimated thousand-year-old town - Heping Ancient Town. 🎊Heping Ancient Town has many ancient buildings and ancient houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is known as "a rare castle-style village in the country." This place is also not very popular, with not many tourists. Villagers live here, and the original and simple atmosphere is retained. ⭕If you like places with few people and seclusion, don't miss Heping Ancient Town. 🏯 Introduction to Heping Ancient Town 🎡 Heping Ancient Town was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,700 years. The ancient town retains a complete 600-meter-long ancient long street, known as the "First Street in Fujian". There is also the earliest academy in northern Fujian - Heping Academy, as well as more than 200 Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings such as the County Magistrate's Office, Huang's Mansion, stage, ancestral hall, etc., especially the east and north watchtowers, which are worth seeing. ⭕Compared to the commercialized man-made ancient towns, Heping Ancient Town is a truly living ancient town. The elderly in the village live and set up stalls here. The steamed glutinous rice cakes, fried tofu, and peace rice noodles along the street are all local delicacies, very distinctive 🍜 🏯Heping Ancient Town has not charged admission since last year. If you visit several attractions such as the County Magistrate's Office and Heping Academy, you can choose a package ticket of 50 yuan. You can choose according to your interests. 🚃Transportation👉 🚖Self-driving: Navigate to Heping Ancient Town. 🚃 Public transportation🚆 Take the train to Nanping Station, then take a bus to Shaowu, and share a car in Shaowu to Heping Ancient Town, 20 yuan one way ⛰️Heping Ancient Town is very close to Wuyi Mountain, about 2 hours by car. If you have time, you can visit both attractions along the way. 💯Such a primitive and quaint ancient town is suitable for a leisurely stroll. It is a simple town that you want to visit again after visiting it once!
