The ancient town of Xuanzhou in Hengshan descends along the narrow old stone steps to the side of the Xiangjiang River. The old Guhe Street has a pleasant scenery. There is a motor boat on the dock, which can carry people to the river center. The Liu Jin Gong Temple and Guantan Temple on Guhe Street are relatively well-preserved.

Introduction
The Ancient Town of Xuanzhou is located on the banks of the Xiangjiang River. Since ancient times, merchants gathered here, which added to the thousand-year old town a charm. With a long history, the town still retains the ancient tombs, ancient battlefields, and ancient buildings. Among them, there is the Hengshan ancient kiln site from thousands of years ago, three shrines built by Qianlong emperor when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and so on. Liu Jingong Temple, well preserved, still bears the Ming and Qing architectural styles.

Although I have heard of the ancient town of Xuanzhou a long time ago, passing by during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is in a semi-development state, and a hotel has been built in the town, but it is quite noisy. Coming from the town to the edge of the Xiangjiang River, it has a special flavor, the wind is high and the clouds are light, the air is excellent, the ancient buildings on the riverside of the ancient town, and the simple folks. Not a good place to travel, but it is a good place to take a leisurely stroll. When I was hungry, I ate lunch at a farmer’s house by the river. Although I didn’t have a hotel specialty, the dishes I picked and the fish caught in the river were very fresh. The phone number of the lady boss: 177-7341-8178. You can also try it.
Near the Xiangjiang River, the water surface is flat, the river embankment is lush green, the red willows are green, and there are some exquisite Ming and Qing buildings. Zeng Guofan’s ancestral home is here. There are zoos, rape blossoms, peach groves, and landscapes nearby.
Antique, good water, definitely an unforgettable trip.
Xuanzhou Ancient Town is a unique ancient town with pleasant scenery and fresh and natural air. Now it is the season to see rape blossoms. The scenery is charming and a good place for taking pictures. It is very worth recommending to everyone, and it is very interesting.
