I have to say that the pace of modern life in every city is very fast now, and almost everywhere is full of pressure. It has to be said that sometimes when we want to find a place to relax, it is difficult to find it. . However, there are actually some places that are quite famous and worth visiting. Among them, there are still some familiar attractions. These are Wuzhen and Fenghuang Ancient City, which are crowded with people almost in the peak season. Although The scenery is beautiful, but if it is crowded, you will not experience the quiet life of the ancient town at all. Today, the editor will introduce to you the most beautiful ancient town in Guangxi and a relatively low-key ancient town, that is: Huangyao Ancient Town.
Huangyao Ancient Town is located in the northeast of Zhaoping County, Hezhou, Guangxi, 40 kilometers away from Hezhou City and 200 kilometers away from Guilin. It originated during the Song Dynasty and has a history of nearly 1,000 years. The natural landscape has eight major sceneries and 24 minor sceneries; there are more than 20 temples, temples, and more than 10 pavilions and pavilions preserved, most of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Known as "Little Guilin".
The place name Huangyao is derived from its surname. In fact, the first Han people who came to Huangyao were not named Huang but Yao. Why not call it "Yao Huang" but call it "Huang Yao"? Because Huangyao has been the territory of the Yao people since ancient times. When the clan elders were choosing the name, they thought that the place where the Yao people and the Han people coexisted together was not good enough to be called "Yao Huang". The pronunciation of "Yao Huang" and "Yao Wang" were too similar, and "Yao Huang" must be tabooed. Wang? This sound. The clan elders unanimously approved the use of "Huang Yao" as the place name.
Since then, more than a dozen villages have uniformly used place names. However, because this place is relatively remote and has a poor reputation, not many people know about it. However, even so, precisely because there are few tourists, this place is more in line with the tranquility of the ancient town. Go Tourists who have passed by will give special praise.
There are many attractions to see in Huangyao Ancient Town. There are more than 300 ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties preserved in the ancient town, covering an area of ??16,000 square meters. There are 8 completely preserved stone streets, all made of bluestone. More than 10 kilometers long. There are also more than 10 pavilions, more than 20 temples and temples, 11 characteristic bridges, and hundreds of couplets and plaques. It seems that the ancient town is very vicissitudes of life, some are even from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The houses look well-proportioned, and the streets are all bluestone slabs, and paired with black tiles and white walls, it has a special ancient feel, especially in Walking here is like dreaming back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so friends who like ancient culture must come and see it.
The most famous street here is undoubtedly Koi Street. Speaking of how the Koi Street got its name, the craftsmen encountered a protruding natural rock when they were paving the stone street. So they slightly modified the rock and chiseled it into a carp about 2 feet long, which was called ?Pandao Stone Fish?. This street is also called "Carp Street". You can also taste many delicacies in Koi Street, the most important of which is Huangyao fermented bean paste, local fermented bean fermented chili sauce, or pork offal powder, which taste particularly good. Look at the scenery here. There are local hotels and folk customs. You can visit the ancient town in the morning. It is a fairyland-like experience. It feels very wonderful.
In addition, although not many people know about the ancient town, what we have seen is that its transportation is relatively convenient, and it can be reached by car from Guilin in 2 hours. In the ancient town, I saw that people live very comfortably, and I often see people here with extremely beautiful smiles.
