2. Huangyao Ancient Town in Guangxi

Huang Yao is located in Zhaoping County, Guangxi, 200 kilometers away from Guilin. It is an ancient town of Ming and Qing dynasties with a history of more than 900 years. It is located in the lower reaches of the Lijiang River and is known as the "poetic home". Fiona Fang ancient town covers an area of 1 km2, which is a typical karst landform. Huang Yao is a poetic place. You don't need to look for every scenic spot. Walking slowly along the stone road, you may find something that surprises you inadvertently.

Mount Huang Yao, a thousand peaks compete and show. Stone mountains, such as giant columns, reach the sky, tall and majestic; Some are graceful and charming.

Huangyao's mountains are unique in shape, with towering cliffs, steep and steep, ranking first in the world. Surrounded by five mountains in the ancient town, it is said that "five horses return to the trough".

The mountains of Huangyao are covered with lush forests. The trees stand upright on the top of the mountain, strong and straight, magnificent; Or longer than the cliff, proudly winding, soaring in the air; Still stuck in the crack of the cliff, indomitable, with iron bones clanking.

Huang Yao's mountain has no mountains or holes. There are many grotesque stalactites in the cave, which are colorful and varied.

The water in Huangyao is very clear, and there are fish everywhere, which is beautiful and charming. Originated in Longchong, it flows through two streams, Tian Ran Street and Longpan Street, and is injected with water from two Longtan, which is called Longxi. Originated in Kuzhuchong, it flows through Jinping Village and flows into Yaojiang River from Yumen. Because there is Hojusan in the stream, it is named Kuzhuxi. The creek with Wuzhishan as its source in the upper reaches of Gui Jiang tributary flows through Huang Zhu, Yangshuo and Huoshaotian, jumps over the hillside in the wind, runs under the pine trees in the north of Laojie, and flows through the stone bridge, which is called Yaojiang River. Legend has it that the ancient town is surrounded by water on three sides, four waters return to the source and five horses return to the trough, which is really a treasure trove of feng shui. Yaojiang is about 1000 meters long from Shuibutou to the east gate of Zhongxing Street. The river bed is narrow, moving with the mountain and winding. Because there is a dam downstream, it has become a lake. The water is quiet and the water surface is like a mirror. On both sides of the Xihe River, there are thousands of ancient banyan trees, Long Lin trees, camphor trees embraced by several people, and various unknown trees, which grow on the banks of the river and are lush; Or longer than crevices, dead wax branches, old vines, clusters of bamboos and clusters of wild flowers, snuggling up to the bank of the stream is particularly beautiful, just like a giant panjing rushing into the eyes of tourists. The scenery moves with things, as if you were in a landscape gallery.

To visit Huangyao landscape, Wen Ming Pavilion is a must. Wenming Pavilion, located on the tianmashan in the southeast of the ancient town, is the first scenic spot in Huangyao. Tianmashan also stands out among the beautiful landscapes. The Civilization Pavilion was built in the late Ming Dynasty, on the mountain and beside the water. The pavilions on the mountain are strewn at random, and the ancient trees are towering. There are many poems, couplets and stone carvings left by literati and poets in past dynasties, which are woven by tourists. Civilization Pavilion is a famous Taoist mountain in eastern Guangxi. After the completion, Taoist priests will fight here and pray for good weather and peace on earth. One year is small, and five years is big. During the festival, believers flocked from Sixiang Village and Yaoling Miao Village to help the old and bring the young, and the mountains and plains were bustling and lively.

Some tourists say that Huang Yao's landscapes are "Jia Guilin" and "Jia Yangshuo". This is a compliment. Personally, Huang Yao's landscape is slightly inferior to that of Yangshuo, Guilin, because it is profound, simple and wild without deliberate carving. Although the scenery of its small bridges and flowing water is not as heavy as that of Zhouzhuang and Luzhen, its unique landscape charm, accompanied by mountains, is regarded by many Chinese and foreign tourists as a "nine palaces and eight seals" maze formed by a paradise, a fairyland on earth, a thousand-year-old residence and a thousand-year-old stone street.
