Qingyan Ancient Town
青岩古镇
Qingyan developed from a military settlement in the Ming Dynasty into a compact ancient town composed of stone lanes, city gates, courtyards and religious buildings. Courtyards such as Ciyun Temple and Wenchang Pavilion show the multi-layered local construction tradition, and the houses and food shops that are still inhabited make this place more than just a commemorative scenic spot. The tour should not just stop at the most photogenic street, but also distinguish between historical relics and later commercial restoration.
