I thought Guilin was already beautiful, until I arrived in Hezhou!

⛰️ Guangxi is not only about Guilin, but also Hezhou. The area around Hezhou, like Guilin, is characterized by karst topography, and upon arriving, one feels surrounded by mountains. ⛰️ This time I went to Huangyao Ancient Town in Hezhou, where most of the buildings are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with nearly 1000 years of history, located downstream of the Li River, and known as the 'Little Guilin'. It is a typical karst landscape with strange peaks and small bridges over flowing water. ⛰️ The town's bridges, gatehouses, and high walls are cleverly connected, with hundreds of turns and winding paths. Walking through the alleys of the ancient town, one can feel a unique sense of tranquility and simplicity. ✅ Must-visit spots Dragon Claw Banyan: Over 800 years old, it resembles a scenic painting rich in ancient charm. Dailong Bridge: Built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, it is the largest stepped stone arch bridge in the town and was a filming location for the beautiful movie 'The Painted Veil'. Fairy Well: The well has a unique design, consisting of several square pools connected in the direction of the water flow, divided into five wells for drinking, washing vegetables, laundry, and handwashing. The spring water in the well is abundant all year round and contains a variety of trace elements. There are also many other attractions such as the ancient stage, stone streets, and Huangyao Post Office. You can stroll and experience the charm of the thousand-year-old town. Accommodation: You can stay in the ancient town, and staying at a guesthouse there can also save you the entrance fee. Transportation: Huangyao Ancient Town is a 50-minute drive from Hezhou. ✅ Three-day, two-night itinerary Day 1 Hezhou Day 2 Hezhou - Nanshan Tea Sea Scenic Area - Huangyao Ancient Town
