Jiangyong, Yongzhou | Hidden is an ancient village with a history of thousands of years - Shanggantang Village.

Ancient village lovers must not miss it when in Yongzhou! ! I went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As a native of Yongzhou, I would like to stop by and give you some insights into Yongzhou, an unpopular 18th-tier small city! When it comes to Yongzhou, most people may not know it. Even if they know it, it is because of "The Story of Little Rock Pond" by Liu Zongyuan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, Yongzhou also has many treasures and scenic spots! What I would like to recommend this time are these two ancient villages in Jiangyong County, Yongzhou—Shanggantang Village and Goulan Yao Village. They are located on the border of southern Hunan and adjacent to Guangxi. Here is the only writing in the world that exists specifically for women [Jiangyong Nushu]. It was born in the Han Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years. It is now also a national intangible cultural heritage! They have profound historical and cultural heritage, but until now they are unknown and sleeping in this mountain... 📍Shanggantang Village It is one of the oldest thousand-year-old villages discovered in Hunan Province. The village is mainly built with buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are also some buildings from the Song Dynasty. They are antique, simple and unpretentious. The whole village exudes a strong sense of simplicity! Attractions: Wenchang Pavilion, Buying Bridge, etc. 🎫No tickets are required for the ancient village 🥯【Gourmet】 Jiangyong’s grapefruit, rice dumplings, jelly, shuttle cakes, camellia oleifera...are all highly recommended👍especially the rice dumplings. Every time I go home, my mother has to ask someone to bring them to me! The grapefruit in winter is also delicious, a must-have for the Chinese New Year! 【Play Guide】 ⏰️Tour time: 2-3 hours. It is recommended to visit around 9 a.m. and after 16:00 p.m. You can see the farming villagers and the old people driving cattle. These scenes can make the entire ancient village come alive, not just the buildings. . 🚗Transportation: Navigate directly to Shanggantang Village. I took the national highway from Yangshuo to Yongzhou via Shanggantang Village and Goulan Yao Village. Although it was a winding mountain road, the road conditions were very good throughout the journey. There is a visitor center and parking lot at the entrance of the village, but I recommend driving in directly, passing through the new village and parking directly near Buying Bridge.
