Huangyao| It's like walking in a thousand-year-old ancient painting scroll

| It's like walking in a thousand-year-old ancient painting scroll. When you come to Guangxi, you must visit the ancient town of Huangyao in Hezhou, experience the slow-paced life in the 'place with wind'🍃, and take a small, off-the-beaten-path trip👣 ❣️ :Huangyao Ancient Town :Zhaoping County, Hezhou, Guangxi, Huangyao Town 🚄 :Self-driving/high-speed rail; more than 300 kilometers away from Guangzhou, 3 hours by car; take the high-speed rail for 1.5 hours to Hezhou and then take the bus 🎫 :88 yuan/person (online price 65 yuan/person,; free entry before 7:30 in the morning and after 6:30 in the evening) Huangyao Ancient Town is a thousand-year-old ancient town where Lingnan culture and peak-cluster landscape perfectly blend. It originated in the Kaibao period of the Song Dynasty, experienced the construction in the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity in the Qing Dynasty, and many well-preserved Ming and Qing old buildings are still preserved in the ancient town. Green bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, towering ancient banyan trees, bluestone slab roads, ancient ancestral halls and archways... Walking in the ancient town, time slows down. We arrived near noon, after buying tickets online, you can enter the ancient town from any gate. The ancient town is not big and can be visited in half a day. If you want to see the night view of the ancient town, you can stay in the inn in the ancient town, and you can stay very well with an average of more than one hundred. The scenery in the ancient town is a painting everywhere, and it is very photogenic. When we went there, there were few tourists. After visiting the ancient town for three hours, we didn't want to leave. We stayed until the lights in the ancient town were on before we reluctantly left. Both sides of every street in the ancient town are shops. It's not true to say that the commercial atmosphere is not strong, but fortunately, the prices are not high. The bamboo tube milk tea we bought was only 16 yuan a large cup, and there was ice cream. Those who like to take pictures can buy it for group photos. Every time I go to a different place, I have different feelings. Although the streets and alleys are commercialized, there are corners with strong local customs. The old grandpa sitting by the river in a daze, the old grandma washing clothes by the ancient well, the old uncles chatting under the ancient banyan tree, and the aunts chatting in the corners of the streets and alleys, hhh still have local characteristics... ⚠️ Traveling small Tip : Check-in spots in the ancient town: Dailong Bridge, Xianren Ancient Well, Guo's Mansion, Dragon Claw Banyan, Yikongzhigu (Gate), Sima's Mansion, Ancient Stage (outside the scenic area) There are boats in the ancient town, 20 yuan/person for half an hour, if you have enough time, you can go for a ride and appreciate the beauty of the ancient town from a different angle As for eating, I suggest trying the local specialty beef intestine sour, sour and spicy appetizer, plus a bowl of beef blood, it's very good; it's more cost-effective to eat outside the scenic area
