Heshun Ancient Town, with its green brick wooden doors and white walls and black tiles, writes a poem of time

Some people say that if you want to experience the pure folk customs and ancient charm, you must come to Heshun. Walking leisurely through the crisscrossing alleys, stepping on the volcanic stones smoothed by the wind and rain of the years, forming a corridor that seems to be separated from the world, romantic and gentle. Heshun Ancient Town is a place of cultural diversity, heavy history, full of fantasy and legendary colors. Entering here, you can feel the beauty of the Taoist nature of the light and dust. Heshun Ancient Town uses green brick wooden doors and white walls and black tiles to write a poem of time, and uses the cultural context of the ancient town to build a mountain of books and sea of learning, wandering in the garden, accidentally entering the corridor of time. Heshun was originally named Yang Wentun. Because there is a small river around the village, it was renamed 'Heshun', and later it was refined into Heshun Township with the meaning of 'gentlemen and people are in harmony'. The village is built on the mountain, with pink walls and black tiles, extending from the foot of the mountain to the hillside, blending with nature. The famous trees and ancient trees here are densely covered, with a forest coverage rate of over 70%. Heshun is a huge 'green air conditioner' and 'natural oxygen bar' rich in negative oxygen ions. The ancestral halls, archways, and ancient houses scattered throughout Heshun Ancient Town are mostly buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking under the archway is like starting a dream of traveling through ancient and modern times. Heshun Library is one of the largest rural libraries in China. It was founded in 1924 by overseas Chinese. It is a traditional Chinese building with inscriptions from many cultural masters such as Hu Shi, Xiong Qinglai, Liao Chengzhi, and Li Shi. The front garden is beautiful and elegant. There are currently more than 130,000 books, divided into three libraries: ancient books, the Republic of China, and modern times, especially the ancient books are the most precious. 🚘Travel strategy: Self-driving is most recommended ⏳Play time: About 4 hours 🎫Ticket: 50 yuan
