The Most Undiscovered Place I Visited in 2025, I Really Want It to Get Popular

Friends! I've unearthed a hidden gem of an ancient town that even navigation keeps a secret—Xinhuang Longxi! No overwhelming crowds of tourists, just tiled stilt houses and historical treasures scattered everywhere 💎 - 📍 Huaihua · Hunan, Longxi Ancient Town 🚄 High-speed train to Xinhuang West Station → about a 10-minute taxi ride directly to the town - 📸 Must-see spots 🔹 Huangzhou Wind and Rain Bridge: Listen to the murmuring water and watch the sunset paint the covered bridge red. 🔹 Longxi Ancient Town: Every three steps you take, you stumble into a story! The epic of the Long March, century-old shops, and the fragrance of ink from the academies are all hidden in the cracks of the bluestone slabs. 🔹 Yelang Ancient Music City: The background music of a mysterious ancient kingdom! Passing through the ancient gate tower feels like stepping into the world of Li Bai's poems. 🔹 Yanlai Temple: Originally built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the enormous character "Buddha" on the mountainside is the work of Mr. Zhao Puchu. - 💡 Unique experiences ✔️ Rent a Miao outfit and be an ancient town girl for half a day, super photogenic! ✔️ You must stay in a riverside guesthouse! Open the window in the morning to a view like an ink-wash landscape painting. - 🍽 ✔️ Try the authentic black oil tea and Guoba noodles. ✔️ And there's Xinhuang yellow beef, one bite and the flavor lingers. - Ancient towns before commercialization are truly divine ✨ -
