“A thousand miles of Wujiang, a hundred miles of gallery”

A hidden paradise in the mountains of Chongqing! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, step into Chongqing's Gongtan Ancient Town, which has a history of over 1800 years. Located at the confluence of the Wujiang and Apeng Rivers, it faces Yanhe County in Guizhou across the river and is the starting point of Youyang's thousand-mile Wujiang and hundred-mile gallery. It mainly includes Gongtan Ancient Town, Wujiang Gallery, and a thousand-year-old Phoebe zhennan forest, making it a tourist scenic area that integrates natural landscapes and folk customs. Here, there is a stone-paved street about three kilometers long, more than 150 unique firewalls, over 200 ancient and tranquil courtyards, and more than 50 stilted buildings of various shapes, all with distinctive local characteristics. It is a well-preserved and large-scale Ming and Qing architectural complex in China. Visitors can stroll along the ancient town's bluestone old street, feeling the distant ambiance and the once-prosperous marks of the ancient town, or take a boat tour of the Wujiang Gallery to enjoy the beautiful scenery where the green mountains and waters on both sides complement the stilted buildings of the ancient town.
