Explore the Maze of Longmen Ancient Town

Longmen Ancient Town is located on the southern bank of the Fuchun River. While it is considered a scenic spot, it feels more like an ancient residential area steeped in history.

Unlike commercialized tourist spots, Longmen Ancient Town in Fuyang is home to simple-living locals and well-preserved ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you are planning a trip along the 'Fuchun River-Xin'an River-Qiandao Lake' route, you should definitely consider including Longmen Ancient Town in your itinerary! 😯

A famous scholar from the Eastern Han Dynasty once praised the area, saying: 'The mountains and waters here are more beautiful than those at Luliang Longmen.' The town has a sign indicating it as the 'Hometown of Sun Quan,' as it is said that most of the villagers are descendants of Sun Quan's family. Despite the passage of time and historical changes, the town has evolved from a large family settlement into the ancient town it is today, with its buildings and structures expanding over generations.

The town's houses and corridors are interconnected, with long streets and winding alleys forming a maze-like layout. Walking through the cobblestone paths and between the residential houses, you can feel the rustic charm and rugged atmosphere of the mountain village.
