Yuncun Ancient Town

　　from Liuzhou City. It is a cultural tourism site with Lingnan characteristics that integrates historical exploration, entertainment, sightseeing, and leisure. The ancient town was first built during the Han Dynasty and includes landmarks such as the Ganwang Shrine, Yue Dong Guild Hall, Lingnan Academy, a thousand-year-old street, Zhu Family Imperial Bridge, Ming-era city wall, Scholars’ Bamboo Grove, and Yingfu Twin Pavilions. The Ganwang Shrine, whose original construction date is unknown but was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty, was built by local people to worship Ganluoying (Ganwang), a Southern Dynasties general who protected the nation. It houses statues of Ganwang and other deities. The Yue Dong Guild Hall, originally built in the Qing Dynasty, served as an important venue for trade, information exchange, and social bonding, showcasing outstanding examples of local architectural artistry. The thousand-year-old street stretches from north to south, approximately 4 meters wide and 300 meters long, paved with bluestone slabs and lined with arcaded buildings on both sides. On the 28th day of the seventh lunar month, the birthday of Ganwang, the local community holds large-scale worship ceremonies featuring activities such as deity processions, opera performances, bullfighting, flower cannon competitions, and dragon boat races, attracting numerous visitors. Yuncun Ancient Town fully embodies the architectural artistry of the Lingnan style and showcases the unique charm of an ancient Lingnan town.
