Gongtan Ancient Town! Wujiang Gallery! .

Gongtan Ancient Town has a unique charm with a history of 1,800 years. It is described by the famous painter Mr. Wu Guanzhong as "a Tang street and a Song city, as if it was forgotten by time and suddenly discovered in a corner. The green landscape background and the well-arranged stilt houses complement each other, as if a flowing landscape painting is vividly displayed before your eyes. Take a stroll beside the clear stream and feel the breeze on your face, or climb to the top of the mountain in the ancient town to enjoy the magnificent view of the entire ancient town. Walking on the stone road of the ancient town in the evening, you seem to be able to touch the weight and tranquility of history with every step. Wandering through the alleys, slow down your pace, listen carefully to the echoes of history, and feel the rare tranquility and peace. In the early morning, the ancient town is shrouded in mist, as if you are in a fairyland; in the evening, the setting sun shines on the stilt houses, the golden light and the emerald green mountains and waters set off each other, and the beauty is breathtaking. Gongtan Ancient Town currently has a 3-kilometer-long stone street, more than 150 unique fire walls, more than 200 quaint and quiet courtyards, and more than 50 stilt houses of various shapes. It is a well-preserved and large-scale Ming and Qing architectural complex in China. Tips: Wujiang Gallery recommends taking a boat tour, so you can fully experience the magnificent beauty of both sides of the Wujiang River and experience the lofty sentiments in Li Bai's poem "The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains." Gongtan Ancient Town is relatively large in area. The East Gate Tower is one of the important symbols of Gongtan Ancient Town and a must-visit place in the ancient town. Xiqin Guild Hall: Its architectural style is similar to that of other temples, with red painted walls. Locals call it the "Red Temple", and it is the largest ancient building in the ancient town.
