Experienced 1300 years of history, this ancient village group still has well-preserved Ming and Qing mansions, about 100 buildings, ancient archways, ancient gatehouses, streets, lanes, wells, pools, old trees spread everywhere. Arrived in Jiangxi, my first stop was the Anyi Middle Kingdom group. There are shuttles directly to Shibi at Nanchang Hongcheng Bus Station. The ticket is 21 yuan, about a half an hour drive. There is a tall sign when approaching the town at the side of the road welcoming visitors.
As a scenic spot, of course there is a ticket office selling tickets: ￥30 per person.
Walked along the small concrete road, I first came to the Luotian Village. Outside the village, there is a hollow old tree surrounded by railings, had died.
I am always like the winding paths, towering walls, stone paths, stone lintels, carved doors and windows, etc. in ancient villages and towns.
