Hezhou | A millennium-old town hidden in the karst landscape

| Hidden in the karst landscape is a millennium-old town. 🤩 I thought Guilin was already beautiful enough, but Hezhou is even more stunning! 🙌 It turns out that Guangxi has not only Guilin but also Hezhou, this treasure of a place! It also features karst topography, and upon arriving in Hezhou, you feel embraced by the mountains 😍. This time, I came to Huangyao Ancient Town in Hezhou, where most of the buildings are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with nearly 1000 years of history 👏! Located downstream of the Li River, it is known as 'Little Guilin' 🤩. The typical karst landscape with its towering peaks, small bridges over flowing water is overwhelmingly beautiful 🤗! The ancient town's bridges, gate towers, and high walls are ingeniously connected. Walking through the alleys, you can feel the tranquility and simplicity 🤓. 📸 Must-visit spots: Dragon Claw Banyan 🌲: Over 800 years old, it's like a landscape painting rich in ancient charm. Dailong Bridge 🐉: Built during the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty, it is the largest stepped stone arch bridge in the ancient town, and the filming location for 'The Veil' 😜. Fairy Well: Uniquely shaped, several square pools are connected, with five wells for drinking water, washing vegetables, laundry, and handwashing according to the flow of water. The spring water gushes all year round and contains various trace elements 🤗. There are also many attractions such as the ancient stage, stone slab streets, and Huangyao Post Office. Stroll around and experience the charm of the thousand-year-old town 😎. 🛏 Accommodation: You can stay inside the ancient town, and staying at a guesthouse there even exempts you from the entrance fee 😄. 🚗 Transportation: Huangyao Ancient Town is a 50-minute drive from Hezhou. 🗓 Three-day two-night itinerary: day1🚩 Hezhou day2🚩 Hezhou-Nanshan Tea Sea Scenic Area-Huangyao Ancient Town
