| A thousand-year-old dream hidden in the mountains and rivers. Are you looking for a poetic place where your soul can rest? When I set foot in Huangyao Ancient Town in Hezhou, I felt like I had found the answer.
I used to think that Guilin's scenery was the best in the world, but Huangyao Ancient Town left a deep impression on me with its unique charm. Surrounded by mountains, it feels like a warm embrace from nature, gently holding the ancient town in its arms, like a long scroll of ancient landscape painting slowly unfolding.
Walking into the ancient town, the buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties stand in a row, and every stone slab and tile tells the story of nearly a thousand years of history. The Daolong Bridge spans the stream, like a ribbon connecting the past and the present; the clear spring of the Xianren Well reflects the tranquility of time; the branches of the Longzhao Banyan Tree twist and turn, as if telling an ancient legend; the Shouwang Tower stands quietly, witnessing the changes of the ancient town. Although the stream is under repair, it does not affect the overall ancient charm.
The commercial atmosphere here does not overshadow the original atmosphere of life, but rather complements it, giving the ancient town new vitality. The winding streets and alleys make people forget the troubles of the world while strolling; the strange and twisted ancient trees seem to be the guardians of time.
Transportation is also very convenient. It is only 60 km from Hezhou Station, with a bus fare of CNY 30 per person. Chartering a car or driving yourself allows you to enjoy the journey more freely. Although the interior of the ancient town is not very large, it needs to be savored slowly. You might as well arrange a two-day and one-night trip to enjoy the charming night view and experience the unique charm of the ancient town day and night. Huangyao Ancient Town is like a beautiful woman who stands alone in the world, waiting for more people to unveil her mysterious and charming veil and meet an unforgettable thousand-year-old appointment.
