Guilin·Daxu Ancient Town丨Stroll through the thousand-year-old town and wait for the sunset and night view

丨❤Recommended Reasons丨 🌸🌸I really like Daxu Ancient Town because it is not as bustling as other ancient towns. The quiet and cold stone-paved road retains the thousand-year history of the ancient town, writing the lives of modern people. As time passes, the enduring architecture and bluestone road remain unchanged.🌹🌹🌹 🌸🌸On the Wanshou Bridge, where the bluestone has been worn smooth, the sunset glow falls on the river. People come and go on the stepping stones, and fishing boats and bamboo rafts are in an endless stream. In the evening, the lights on the bluestone road light up, giving an illusion of returning to a thousand years ago.🌹🌹🌹 丨📍Detailed Address丨Daxu Ancient Town, Lingchuan County, Guilin City 丨💰Ticket Information丨No tickets required, you can take a Li River bamboo raft, buy tickets at the gate, ferry boat 5/seat 丨🚉Transportation Tips丨It is recommended to drive or take a small electric scooter, 18 km from Guilin 丨🌟Highlights丨 🌿🌿Daxu Ancient Town originated in the early Northern Song Dynasty, first built in 200 AD. It stretches 2 kilometers along the Li River. The narrow streets are paved with bluestone slabs, approximately 15,000 bluestone slabs in total. The houses along the road are mostly two-story Ming and Qing buildings made of blue bricks and tiles. The historical vicissitudes are visible everywhere.

It has a history of over a thousand years. Here, you can not only take a Li River bamboo raft by purchasing tickets at the scenic area but also take a red ferry to the opposite Maozhou Island. 🌿🌿The ancient town is full of ancient buildings, such as Miao Street, Hanwang Temple, and Gao Family Courtyard, all recording the prosperous history of the ancient town. The town also retains many old shops, such as bamboo weaving workshops, straw shoe workshops, homemade sauce shops, herbal medicine clinics, old barber shops, and tie-dye workshops. Waiting for the sunset on Wanshou Bridge, bamboo rafts are in an endless stream on the Li River. In the evening, the lights on both sides of the ancient town light up, and the residents' homes are filled with the smoke of daily life, while I dream of a thousand years ago.
