Yangmei Ancient Town

Yangmei Ancient Town in Nanning was built for more than one thousand years. You can know the story of this place form those aged architectures spread here. Yangmei Ancient Town was prosperous for the developing of waterway transportation but also depressed for it.

 

The well-preserved buildings such as the ancient street, lane, temple, shrine, house, tree, port, Wenwu pagoda, and beacon tower, all of them are standing there quietly but not unattractively. The smell of the old time spread over the Yangmei Ancient Town.

Though the Yangmei Ancient Town is open to tourists, local residents have hardly altered their way of life as a result. Women are often seen making shoes or doing embroidery by the gates of their houses, evincing a peaceful and undisturbed countenance. The local people love the arts, especially the Yue Opera, which is as old as the town itself. You can wander through the ancient alleys of the town, accompanied by the enchanting sound of people singing and playing instruments, recalling the feelings of long-past times.

Yangmei is an ideal place to re-discover your inner peace, far away from the pressures of modern life, and to grasp the spirit of China's long history.
