🌈Highlights:
- The landscape is mainly composed of buildings. It used to be the mansion of merchants and gentry, and there are many traditional dwellings, most of which were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties and have retained their original appearance.
- A niche attraction in a niche city, with a rich history and few tourists.
- In addition to the scenery, there are many Hakka snacks. You can play, eat, and take photos here.
- We tried tie-dyeing in a tie-dye shop, which was fun. The finished products sold in the shop were also very beautiful.
- The main attractions include the Old Yamen, New Yamen, Ancient Fort Site, Liuxi Academy, Nanyuan Museum, and the Panlong Tree, which is very interesting as it grows together with the wall. We had limited time, so we only visited a few attractions. We will come back if we have the chance.

💗Other tips:
- There are many ancient buildings in the ancient village, and you can take photos in different styles from different angles. Photography enthusiasts must come and have a look.
- There are not many people or shops in the ancient village, so it is not recommended to stay for a long time. I personally think half a day to a day is enough, unless you are particularly interested in history and culture and want to explore in depth.
