Huicheng Town: Huicheng Town is the seat of government for She County, one of China’s famous historical and cultural cities. Established in the Qin Dynasty, it has served as the administrative center of a prefecture or state since the Tang Dynasty, historically known as “Huizhou Prefecture.” It is one of the most representative sites of Huizhou culture. In Doushan Street and Yuliang Dam, you can explore historical remains from the Ming and Qing dynasties that reflect the legacy of Huizhou merchants who dominated commerce for three to four hundred years. At the Xu Guo Memorial Archway and traditional residences, you can trace the cultural depth of Huizhou culture—one of China’s three major regional cultures—known as the “sea of cultural relics,” the “land of culture,” and the “Confucian heartland of the southeast.” These sites also showcase the heritage nurtured by great masters such as Xu Guo and Tao Xingzhi, born from the spiritually rich and picturesque ancient Huizhou land. ++Huicheng Town detailed information++
