introduce
Huangyao Ancient Town has a history of nearly a thousand years. It originated in the Song Dynasty. Since the town is mostly named Huang and Yao, it was named "Huangyao".
Huangyao Ancient Town was not a well-known place before. It was not until "Tea is Hometown Strong" and "Wine is Hometown Alcohol" that the two popular dramas and the film "The Veil" were filmed here that Huang Yao appeared in the spotlight. Fortunately, it is still not over-exploited. Like many small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Huangyao also has small bridges, flowing water, houses, exquisitely carved eaves beam murals, and ancient houses with poems and paintings on the eaves. The Stone Street is still the same as it was hundreds of years ago. The houses with blue brick and tile roofs are connected into a large area, which seems to be stretched and deep. It’s just that compared with the ancient towns in Zhejiang, Huangyao has less hustle and bustle and more sense of tranquility and distance. It is a beautiful ancient town worth recommending in China.
In Huangyao Ancient Town, there are ancient theaters, Baozhu Temple, Longzhao Banyan, Dailong Bridge, Agricultural Fun Garden, Wu's Ancestral Hall and other scenic spots. The ancient stage is located at the entrance of the village. The whole building is carved with carved beams and painted buildings, engraved with images of various cornices and beasts. In front of the stage is the Baozhu Temple. Stone dragons are carved on the stone pillars inside the temple, and the murals around are mottled. After going out of the gate, you can see the banyan dragon claw. The ancient tree grows on the stone and looks like a dragon claw, which is amazing.
The Dailong Bridge is located in the core of the ancient town. There are jagged rocks next to the Dailong Bridge. There is a stone that looks like a snake head under the bridge on the left. If it’s summer, you might as well go to the Agricultural Fun Garden. It’s a good place to appreciate lotuses. There are also restored ancient workshops of tempeh, tofu, and oil extraction in the garden. To the east of the lotus pond is the ancestral hall of the Wu family. The ancestral halls of "Tea is Hometown Strong" and "Wine is Hometown Alcohol" are all shot here.
In addition, the scenic spots in the ancient town include the Guo Family Courtyard and Xingning Temple, and the cultural landscape includes the ink marks of Han Yu and Liu Zongbiao, as well as many poem couplet inscriptions. If you walk around the whole ancient town for about 2-3 hours. If you want to play more in-depth, you can go to the Wenming Pavilion on Tianma Mountain outside the East Gate Tower. In addition, photographers and enthusiasts can also go to the roof of the "market hotel" outside the town to take pictures of the whole ancient town (about 5-10 yuan will be charged). Or ask the locals to be your guides, climb up the nearby hills, and overlook the whole town.
Leave a little more time to experience the remoteness and simplicity in the ancient town quietly, or sit down and have a good chat with the locals, and you will definitely gain a lot.
