Other visitors' reviews of Shawan Ancient Town
Show More ReviewsThe environment and scenery are nice, and all the exhibition halls are staffed. The halls are all close together, and the ancient town has a cultural atmosphere. A combined ticket online for 30 yuan isn't expensive. However, there was a donation drive at one of the pagodas, which made me feel like I'd been ripped off.
