🔥Huangyao is an ancient town with a history of nearly a thousand years. It originated in the Song Dynasty and was built in the Ming Dynasty. It first flourished during the Wanli period of the Northern Dynasty and reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Since most people in the town have the surnames Huang and Yao, it is named "Huang Yao". - Tour route One-day tour: Visit the core attractions of the ancient town in the morning, choose Yaojiang River rafting or climb Dongtan Ridge in the afternoon, and enjoy the night view in the evening.
