The Timeless Charm of Gongtan Ancient Town

#favouriteitinerary A while ago, I visited Gongtan Ancient Town, boasting over 1,700 years of history. With its 3-kilometer stone-paved street, fire walls, serene courtyards, and stilt houses, the town is full of local character. We admired sights like the Yuanyang Tower, East Gate Tower, and well-preserved Ming and Qing residential buildings. The night lighting on Fengyu Bridge was stunning, and bonfire parties added to the lively atmosphere. Gongtan Ancient Town's historical charm and cultural richness made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend visiting to experience its timeless beauty.

Gongtan Ancient Town

Gongtan Ancient Town I love to discover hidden treasures. Gongtan ancient town 龚滩古镇 is one of them. Besides the beautiful architecture and turquoise Wujiang river tourists can go on a hike, eat well (fish, noodles and tofu are fantastic there) and relax. There is a plenty of hotel and restaurant choices. Wouldn't hesitate to go again.
