You must experience the thousand-year-old Huangyao Ancient Town!

🏞️ Huangyao Ancient Town From Hezhou city, you can take a shared car or taxi to the ancient town. It's about a 1-hour drive. Shared cars cost ¥40 per person, and a taxi for one adult and one child costs ¥60. Stay at the Huangyao Ancient Town Longlintai Panoramic Hotel, a guesthouse built into the mountainside with an antique style and a terrace overlooking the entire ancient town. If you want to fully appreciate the town's unique architectural culture, it is recommended to stay overnight. In the evening, there are fewer tourists, and the red lanterns 🏮 create a unique ancient town charm. The ancient town was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. The town is mainly inhabited by residents with the surnames Huang and Yao, hence the name "Huangyao." In the morning, the ancient town is quiet and peaceful, perfect for exploring the history and culture of its ancient architecture. Early morning: Stroll along the alley's stone-paved roads and admire the grey-tiled houses. Experience the murmuring water flowing under the ancient Dragon Bridge. Hop across the Stone Jumping Bridge. Look up at the towering banyan tree with its massive, claw-like roots, known as the Dragon Claw Banyan. Capture the scene of local residents washing clothes and vegetables at the ancient Xianren Well. Visit the Guo Family Courtyard, the best-preserved Qing Dynasty residence of a wealthy family. Explore other sites like the Yikong Cave, the Watchtower, the Imperial Edict Mansion, the Ancient Opera Stage, and the Mo Family Courtyard. Every brick, tile, stone, and step in the ancient town is worth savoring. Surrounded by karst mountains, you can take a ¥20 boat tour and listen to the boatman tell stories about the town's history. The river flows through the town, creating a picturesque landscape of mountains and water. Opinions on Huangyao Ancient Town are mixed. If you're just passing through, the entrance fee might not be worth it. However, the ancient town is perfect for escaping the city's hustle and bustle during the off-season, slowing down to enjoy the tranquility and simplicity of the town at night, experiencing the lively atmosphere of the morning, and appreciating the historical architecture. This concludes the three-day, two-night Hezhou itinerary.🔚 Shared cars are available from the ancient town directly to Hezhou city and the high-speed rail station for ¥40 per person. A thousand-year-old ancient town.
