I'd say it's the ceiling of beauty for ancient towns in Sichuan, and I guess no one would disagree

|||In Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan, there is an ancient town with a big name but little fame—'Fubao Ancient Town'. It was once listed among the top four ancient towns by National Geographic China, and also boasts titles such as the most beautiful ancient town in Sichuan, one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan, and the essence of mountain architecture in China. Despite its many titles, why is 'Fubao Ancient Town' said to be little-known? Because it is located on the southeastern edge of Sichuan, bordering Chongqing and Guizhou, far from the political and cultural center of Sichuan. A self-drive trip from Chengdu to 'Fubao Ancient Town' takes about 4 hours, covering a distance of over 300 kilometers, which is quite a long journey for tourists within the province. This has also resulted in 'Fubao Ancient Town' remaining undeveloped commercially, with hundreds of years seemingly frozen in time within this ancient town. 'Fubao Ancient Town', also known as 'Fobao Ancient Town', became a trading center for hundreds of large towns during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was also an essential route for the transportation of Zigong well salt to Guizhou. Most of the buildings in Fubao still maintain the Ming and Qing styles, with carved beams and painted rafters that witness the glory of the times, and flying eaves that have weathered the storms of time. The ancient town is built on mountains and rivers, with an elegant environment and simple architecture, well-preserved. Despite the vicissitudes of hundreds of years, it still completely retains its original ancient pattern, with profound historical and cultural heritage and valuable architectural aesthetic value. Passing through the town's large bluestone bridge, Hui Long Bridge, a well-preserved old street—'Hui Long Street' unfolds before the visitors. Walking on the mottled bluestone streets of the ancient town, looking at the simple and elegant leisure courtyards, experiencing the authentic local lifestyle, one can deeply feel the infinite charm of Sichuan's ancient towns, which is truly astonishing.
