Guiyang Qingyan Ancient Town, Guizhou

I've been to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou, many times before, and I've been to some places. However, the main reason for this trip to Guiyang is the "ancient" Qingyan Ancient Town. Nowadays, it can't be said that there is no commercial atmosphere at all, but overall, Qingyan Ancient Town has done a good job in recent years. I hope you like it! Qingyan Ancient Town is located in the southern part of Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, 29 km from the city center of Guiyang and 12 km from Huaxi City. It was a military town during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The area of Qingyan Ancient Town is 3 square kilometers, and the total planned area of the scenic area is about 5.8 square kilometers. The streets and alleys are paved with stones, and the houses are also built with stone walls, counters, and courtyards. The layout of the town follows the pattern of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with well-preserved gates, waist gates, tile roofs, double-eaved hanging hills, and flower and wood gates, reflecting the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Qingyan Ancient Town has 4 main streets, 26 small streets and alleys, and many ancient buildings such as buildings, terraces, pavilions, pavilions, temples, palaces, ancestral halls, pagodas, and courtyards, making it the second batch of Chinese historical and cultural towns.
