It used to be a caravan town, the only way of the ancient "Southwest Silk Road", where various foreign cultures blended and it was also a famous hometown of expatriates. But apart from these auras, Heshun still maintains its quaint style.

Heshun ancient town still retains traditional culture and architecture. Ancestral temples, memorial archways and temples in the Ming and Qing Dynasties spread all over the town, and the town also maintained the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which has never changed, just like the legendary paradise.

For more than 600 years, Heshun ancient town has been eclectic with the Central Plains culture as the mainstream, and has become a window for Chinese civilization to blend with South Asia and the West. Heshun people have created a glorious history and splendid culture, cultivated many cultural celebrities and wealthy businessmen, and left a large number of ancient residential buildings with high cultural and artistic value.
