Gongtan Ancient Town is a paradise that looks like a painting

Located at the junction of Youyang County, Pengshui County, and Guizhou Province's Yanhe County, it is 70 kilometers from Youyang County, 60 kilometers from Pengshui County, and 70 kilometers from Yanhe County in Guizhou Province (by waterway). This ancient town has a long history, with a verifiable history of over 1700 years. It was originally established as the Fuling Han County by the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, and after many changes, it has gradually developed into today's Gongtan Ancient Town. The Gongtan Ancient Town scenic area mainly includes Gongtan Ancient Town, Wujiang Gallery, and the millennium-old Phoebe zhennan wood group, among others. The landscape is typically characterized by water towns, making full use of the unique water network advantages of the Wujiang and Apeng Rivers, with the community nestled against the mountains and facing the water. Bluestone streets, stilted buildings, various ancient bridges, embankments, and canals crisscross and are surrounded by water systems, presenting a beautiful picture of a water town. In addition, Gongtan Ancient Town is also the core scenic area of the Wujiang Gallery and a dazzling pearl, known as a paradise that looks like a painting. Address📍: Western part of Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County, Chongqing Transportation🚴: Self-driving is recommended as it is more convenient, but parking can be very tight during holidays, and there are not many parking spaces to begin with. Tickets🎫: 15 RMB per person Wujiang Gallery ticket: 150 RMB per person, available for purchase online or on-site. The scenic area is suitable for visiting both during the day and at night Among so many ancient towns, I find Gongtan Ancient Town to be particularly distinctive. Waking up in the morning and opening the window to a peaceful lake view is very pleasant. If you go during a holiday, be sure to book your hotel🏨 in advance, as prices get more expensive the later you book. Also, don't trust the pictures on the internet too much, keep your expectations reasonable to avoid disappointment, but the beautiful scenery is worth it.
