Pota Ancient Town is not big, but those houses preserved from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the town are very worth visiting! When you come here, you must walk on the 'dragon'-shaped ancient street paved with cobblestones, which is quite rare. Now there are very few people living on the main street of the ancient town, and there is no commercial atmosphere. During the prosperous mid-Qing Dynasty, Pota Ancient Town was quite large, the main street was 'dragon'-shaped, paved with cobblestones, curved and well-made, up to 2 kilometers long, and the street was full of stone slab counters: In addition to the 'Shuibutou', there are five 'Butou' distributed in the town: Wuyi Butou, Dongyang Butou, Jinyun Butou, Yongkang Butou and Gong Butou. Looking through the materials, it is known that since the early Republic of China, due to changes in transportation conditions and natural and man-made disasters, the ancient street of Pota gradually declined, especially the opening of the railway, which made the Pota Salt Road lose its original function, and the Pota market is no longer glorious, but the main buildings and structures are still intact. There are very few tourists visiting the ancient town, which is very quiet. Only a few viewing points are open. According to the route instructions, it takes more than an hour to walk the whole journey.
