Libo Ancient Town is a tourist business card created by the Libo County Government. It is an ancient building with comprehensive ethnic cultural tourism covering food, accommodation, transportation and shopping. The town is built according to the safety standards of Internet celebrities, but due to the recent recurrence of the epidemic, it is relatively deserted. The local Buyi accessories are very ethnic and girls will like them more. Libo Ancient Town feels a bit tasteless. If you have time, you can come to stroll around in the evening and solve dinner by the way. If you don't have time, you can completely not come.
Libo Ancient Town is actually a man-made miniature version of Lijiang, with many pavilions, towers and antique buildings, but it is less popular and a bit desolate. It is suitable for a quiet night.
The ancient town has a stronger commercial atmosphere than expected, but it is better than the legendary ancient towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There is a small temple in the ancient town that is impressive, with a lot of incense, and the surrounding buildings have more ethnic and local characteristics.
The introduction calls Libo Ancient Town an ancient-style building complex covering food, accommodation, transportation and shopping for ethnic cultural tourism. When we arrived at about 4pm, the ancient town was still deserted, and it seemed that there were only a few tourists like us. A shop owner told us that it was the off-season and people would start to come in next month. He said that Libo Ancient Town was built by demolishing the old houses and following a unified plan. In fact, the current ancient town has only been built for 5 years (sounds so wasteful).
Many places in Libo Ancient Town are under renovation. Unlike mature scenic spots, there is only one area with a large flow of people. I followed the first place on the review website and had a meal there. I was very satisfied.
The sushi in the ancient town is good, don’t miss it if you pass by.
The activities in Libo Ancient Town are very exciting at night and the air in the morning is very fresh. It is worth a visit.
In a modern ancient town, it is quite acceptable, and accommodation in the off-season is really affordable.
Libo Ancient Town is composed of accommodation and food. There is a popular street where you can go around at night.
The environment is pleasant, the air is fresh, and the sculptures are lifelike. It is a good place for tourism, leisure, and health preservation. You can go and try it!
It is a commercial place built later. I don't want to go shopping. There are many inns and food stalls in it.
We returned to Libo at night and stayed in Libo Ancient Town. Next to the ancient town was a very modern bridge. There were fiery clouds at night, and the sky looked particularly magical.
The Libo Ancient Town is very beautiful with lights on at night. The ancient town is a complete group of antique buildings, integrating the architectural styles of the local Buyi, Shui, Miao, and Yao ethnic minorities. There was indeed an ancient city here, but it was destroyed long ago.
Today, Libo Ancient Town can be called a food street. You can find cuisines from various ethnic minorities such as Buyi, Shui, Miao and Yao here. If you live near the ancient town, you don’t have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun.
There are many restaurants in the antique building. I haven't eaten there, so I don't know the price and cost performance.
Libo Ancient Town is not very big and is no different from an ordinary commercial street.
It is said to be an ancient town, but it looks like a pedestrian street built later for tourists to walk around. There is a stage in the middle where you can watch performances.
The ancient town is actually a newly built tourist distribution center. There are some handmade clothing, shoes and hat shops opened by the Buyi people in the town, which are very unique.
The ancient city is not big, in fact it is quite new, not really old. After dinner in the evening, I came to the viewing platform. The small Libo Ancient City amazed the world with its night view.
The lights in the ancient city change colors, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, beautiful and moving. The laser beams also keep changing, making the whole night colorful.
The ancient city is not very interesting, it is just a newly built commercial city.
Libo Ancient Town is located in Nanmenba Shangcaiyuan, Jianshe Village, Yuping Town, Libo County, Guizhou Province, with a land area of 1,099 acres. There is an exhibition park for the long history and culture of Libo County; a display corridor for the intangible cultural heritage of Guizhou Province; a permanent venue for the High-end Forum on Cultural Tourism Development and Innovation, and a leisure tourism industry complex integrating tourism, sports, leisure and entertainment, commerce and supporting residential buildings, which has become a new tourism service core area in Libo County. In the square, we saw artistic performances with ethnic characteristics. Because it was dark and we didn't walk too far, we walked back to the hotel. Of course, we didn't go back the same way, so we passed by Deng Enming Square (formerly Zhangjiangyuan Square) and saw the prosperous night view of Libo County.
It's more like a commercial street. I don't know if it's the off-season, but there aren't many people. We saw that there are folk performances in the ancient town from 8 to 9:30 p.m., and the key point is that it's free. It's a good choice to take a walk after dinner. There are not many people in the ancient town at night because it's the off-season.
The ancient town has many later-processed buildings, and almost all the people who come here are tourists and outsiders. Food in the ancient town is a bit expensive and there is nothing special. It is recommended to go to the old town to find local food. You can search for food online.
It's a small reconstruction of an ancient town, not very interesting.
I couldn't believe this was the old town, totally empty of people. Nothing to do except eat.
Although this is a small county town without even a train, it is quite prosperous due to the tourism industry. The streets are particularly clean, and the palm trees and red lanterns on both sides make it hard for me to imagine that this is a small county town in Guizhou. It’s as if I have traveled to a city in Southeast Asia.
The newly built antique buildings are a bit far-fetched to call it an ancient town! But it is a good place to stay for a short break.
Man-made attractions are not very popular and there is still a long way to go!
This is not an ancient town at all. Not only are there only restaurants, but there are also few decent restaurants. They are all inns, and there is no feeling of an ancient town at all. There is no place to rest, such as a dessert shop or a water bar.
Libo County, a small town in the southern part of Guizhou Province, is under the jurisdiction of Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Its famous attractions are the Big and Small Seven Caves. There is even a saying that "If you haven't been to Libo, you haven't been to Guizhou."
The tour guide said this is a newly renovated ancient town, and he was right! It's very new~~
The night view of the ancient town is indeed very new, that is, the newly built commercial street. It is still very quiet here at night, with a gentle breeze and charming night view.
The street lights in Libo Ancient Town are very similar to a totem on the heads of ancient people. Perhaps they have their own totem culture!
Libo Ancient Town is actually a newly developed commercial area in Libo County, similar to other newly developed tourist ancient towns in China: a tourist commercial area specially developed to meet tourists' needs for food, accommodation and shopping. In the early morning, tourists travel and teams set off, and the ancient town welcomes a brief hustle and bustle. Then the ancient town will be very quiet during the day. In addition to merchants, you can also occasionally encounter one or two tourists. In the evening, tourists return, and the ancient town is glowing. Tourists shuttle through various delicacies, snacks and shopping stores... When you are drinking with your family, relatives and friends, various small cars and tourist floats pass by you, and you don't know where you are in a trance. In the central square not far away, different folk programs are performed every day, giving tourists a new visual experience.
Libo Ancient Town is an antique tourism complex project. The buildings are quite standard. There are too many inns inside, and shopping shops and restaurants account for a small part. The overall feeling is that there are not many highlights. It is nice to stay for a night when passing by, but there is really nothing else.
It can be seen that the government has invested a lot of money in its development. The night view of the river is very beautiful.
After a tiring day, the ancient town returned to peace as the sun set. The air conditioner was turned up to 16 degrees, and the heat slowly dissipated. This place feels like a bag of hot French fries, crisp and convenient, but you need a bowl of cool drink to relieve the greasiness.
The ancient town is not ancient, but it can attract so many tourists to spend money, which shows that it has something going for it.
The scenery is nice! Huangguoshu is magnificent! The customs of the ethnic minorities in Xijiang are pure!
First impression of Libo: a place with many people of the Buyi ethnic group, a mysterious place. The driver of Libo was very enthusiastic and reminded us where to get off. After getting off the bus, we found that the architectural features here are different from those in Guangdong. Perhaps it is a tourist attraction, a small tourist town, all "dressed up". The old men and women on the roadside are wearing ethnic costumes, which is really an interesting landscape. Even the bus stops are so elegant! Less prosperous than the city, more simple.
Libo Ancient Town is close to Zhangjiang River, and is mainly a gathering area for tourists' accommodation and dining. A major highlight is that you can go for a walk along the nearby Zhangjiang River. The so-called ancient town is a newly built "model type" that can be seen all over the country. There are still many construction sites under construction, mainly large-scale stores, and there are not many supporting snacks and souvenirs. The merchants are not fully settled. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from Enming Square, and you have to pass by the old town of the township for about 5 minutes. Girls should pay attention to safety when walking alone at night.
After exiting Libo Ancient Town, you can walk to the riverside bridge and then down to the riverside trail, and then to the bronze drum-shaped square. Along the way, there are residents running and walking their dogs, and some people practicing martial arts in the square. On the mountain opposite the river should be the viewing platform for overlooking the panoramic view of the county during the day. There is a special green laser light project shining on the mountain, depicting various patterns and shapes.
There are only restaurants and hotels inside, without any ancient town charm.
In fact, it is just a place to eat and drink. The so-called ancient town also has antique buildings. We left after taking a few looks.
The ancient town is not big and there are few tourists inside. It only takes half an hour to finish the tour.
The world heritage site is the Emerald of the Earth. Libo welcomes you, Libo Ancient Town National 3A Scenic Area, food, accommodation and transportation, the ancient town is located in Libo County.
The owner of the inn drove us to the observation deck to enjoy the night view of the ancient town.
I didn't expect the night view of Libo to be so beautiful! The charming night view is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off it. I took my phone and kept taking photos and recording videos, wanting to save everything I saw in front of me in the camera.
Only the night view of the ancient town is ok, nothing else is special.
The ancient town is actually a man-made antique building complex built against the mountain. There is a large sign on the mountain that says "Emerald of the Earth". The eaves in the ancient town are also very distinctive.
The so-called Libo Ancient Town is actually a commercial street. It is full of brand new antique buildings. It is OK as a place to stay and consume, but it seems unnecessary if you come here for a special visit. However, the newly built sports stadiums look quite distinctive.
It was already dark when we came out of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area in Libo. None of us three expected to stay there for so long! We originally planned to rush to Maolan tonight.
Although Maolan is very close, only a few dozen kilometers away, I am worried that the accommodation conditions in Maolan are not good. It just so happens that I have never been to the Libo Ancient Town, so why not stay in the ancient town tonight.
After reading the introduction, I realized that it was a fake ancient town?!
I have been to less than 100 ancient towns and cities in China, but I have been to four or five of them, and they are all similar. Most of the real ancient towns are left over from the Ming and Qing dynasties, while the fake ancient towns are mostly imitations of Ming and Qing architecture and some investment to attract tourists. Moreover, most of the ancient towns look better at night after lighting, and there are many bars and inns in the streets and alleys. We were hungry all day and were just rushing around, so we quickly came here to find a place to stay and have a meal.
I searched for a "Meet Inn" on the Internet and saw it while driving into the ancient city in the dark. I stopped to ask and looked at the living conditions. This was it!
(By the way, private cars are allowed to drive into Libo Ancient Town)
The boss was very enthusiastic. He showed us around and then recommended us to have dinner at "Xu's Restaurant".
As I said before, the winter nights in Libo Ancient Town are deserted. Fortunately, the lights are on, otherwise I would be scared walking in the streets. There is no music at all, it can be said to be completely silent.
There is a square in the center of the ancient town with a large stage. In front of the stage is a super big pot. When I walked closer, I saw that it was used to store charcoal for burning bonfires.
If the deserted ancient town at night still had some people in it, then there was not a single person in the ancient town early in the morning!
Maybe he slept in and didn't get up? I feel uncomfortable and lonely just walking around here.
I don't know what the peak season is like here. If it's like this all year round, I think this ancient town that cost 3.2 billion yuan to build is useless. However, since it is next to the beautiful "Big and Small Seven Caves", it should be bustling with people when the spring comes, right?
Although the ancient town has few former residences of celebrities and little historical heritage, it is clean and tidy. In particular, I saw the electrical boxes neatly fixed on the outer walls of the houses, which were very pleasing to the eye.
Leaving Libo Ancient Town, I thought about where my next stop would be: Maolan!
There is a viewing platform on the roadside when driving up the mountain, where you can see the whole view of Libo City. It would be beautiful if I could drive here last night.
Although it is called an ancient town, it is actually a very new antique street built specifically for tourists. The walls are painted with ethnic posters, which is a highlight. Overall, there is no cultural atmosphere and the characteristics are insufficient. If you have free time in Libo, you can go and have a look, but it is not recommended to go there specifically.
After returning from Xiaoqikong, we were exhausted. We found some delicious restaurants in the nearby Libo Ancient Town, so we took a taxi here. It turned out that this ancient town was built later, with some local restaurants and specialty stores.
Locals don't recommend going there, but I think it's good to take pictures there.
It was under construction when we went there, and I believe it will be even more beautiful after it is completed!
It was newly built two years ago, and it can also be called an "ancient town". Are you kidding me?
The ancient town is sparsely populated, but there are many cars. The streets are full of cars parked randomly, and no one cares.
The lights on the street are very beautiful.
The ancient town is next to Libo Primary School. The gate of the school is quite distinctive. The alleys of the ancient town are under construction. I personally feel that there is no need to go to the ancient town! It is a distance away from the food street, and it is farther away from the Big and Small Seven-hole Scenic Area than the food street. The food street is actually built for tourists. The pork ribs, chicken, and Zhangjiang fish are 68 per catty. The bayberry juice and loquat juice bought from Yangmei are both OK. The bayberry juice is better. I stayed in Libo for two days and bought two other bayberry juices on the street. The taste is almost the same. There is no need to recommend it. Any one is fine. There are rolls of noodles sold on the street. The skin is similar to the cold skin, but there are wrapped vegetable fillings. It is eaten with toppings. It is fresh and tastes ok
A tourist shopping spot created by the government of Libo County, Qiannan ~ It is said to be built on the original site of an old Buyi village ~ It is actually a commercial shopping spot, but it is built like an ancient town, just on the edge of the city, not far away ~ If you are really bored, you can go and have a look, but the things are expensive ~ If you go there on purpose, it is really unnecessary ~
A very new ancient town, many places are still under construction🚧, all kinds of small passenger cars, buses, garbage trucks, construction vehicles in the ancient town. Dust is flying, it is better to sit by the Zhangjiang River in the city. The food is dustpan dishes, oh, the only popular restaurant, 4 hearts for freshness, 2 hearts for taste
I was traveling in Libo and stayed in the ancient town.
The ancient town is actually a newly built group of antique buildings. It is very small and mostly has restaurants and hotels.
I stayed at the inn there on my first night. The owner was very welcoming, a native of Northeast China. The room was a little small, but it was probably newly renovated and still very unique.
We met again on the second night. The boss was also very enthusiastic. He was from Chenzhou, Hunan, and patiently told us about the tourism here.
The people here are very nice.
At some scenic spots in Libo, you can choose to stay in the ancient town, which is quite convenient. The transportation is very convenient.
Although it is a national 3A scenic spot, it is actually an ancient building with few tourists, so it is very quiet to sleep at night!
Located in Nanmenba Shang Vegetable Garden in Jianshe Village, Yuping Town, Libo County, Guizhou Province, it is an antique tourism complex project. It cannot be called an ancient building, it is all a replica.
The ancient town is still quite unique, but it lacks a bit of ancient flavor
A newly built integrated town in Libo that focuses on tourism development and integrates shopping, dining and accommodation.
The ancient town has a good environment and is worth a visit. I bought some tea and local specialties at a good price and with a wide variety of products.
It's relatively small, the station is not big, and the scenic area is beautiful! !
Libo Ancient Town Libo Ancient Town Libo Ancient Town Libo Ancient Town
It's a newly built ancient town. I didn't see any old buildings. I thought it was uninteresting, so I just walked around and left. But it should be nice to live here.
Accommodation conditions are quite good, some inns are better than five-star hotels
The night view is good, there are not many people, it is not big, but there are many inns and hotels inside, it seems safe to stay, there are also food, generally speaking, it is good to stroll around
In the new county town where construction is booming, the old town has shrunk to a very small size. A lot of buildings have been demolished and it no longer has any characteristics.
The environment of Libo Ancient Town is good, very beautiful and unique, especially the ancient town buildings are very beautiful!
I went to Libo for a trip and stayed in the ancient town for one night. The inn was very uniquely decorated and there was a food court. The food was not more expensive than outside. Overall, I thought it was good. There were also street performers singing on the street, which was quite nice.
It's OK. Food and accommodation are cheap. It's cheaper than the county center and the environment is better than the county center. The only drawback is that there are not enough taxis. For accommodation, I recommend an inn called Mulanfang. It has good decoration and moderate price. For food, go to Xiangye Restaurant. It costs about 40 yuan per person, but the food is really good.
A very nice ancient town with beautiful waterscape. I especially love the specialties of the ancient town. There is also a very good tea shop in the ancient town. The boss is very nice. It was a very satisfying trip!
Libo Ancient Town is quaint and has pleasant scenery. It is worth a visit.
It’s a very beautiful ancient town. I especially like the tea shop in the ancient town. There are many restaurants and specialty shops around the tea shop. I like this style of ancient town very much. It’s beautiful and grand!
The environment of the ancient town is very good, especially the scenery at night is beautiful and it is worth a visit.
First time in Libo. First time in the ancient town. There are many special snacks and shops. I lingered there.
Libo Ancient Town is located in Nanmenba Shangcaiyuan, Jianshe Village, Yuping Town, Libo County. It is an antique tourism complex project restored and rebuilt on the site of the old Libo Stone City.
The ancient town integrates the architectural style of the Huizhou style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties with the cultural characteristics of the four local ethnic minorities, namely, the Buyi, Shui, Miao and Yao. It has brick and wood buildings with black tiles and horse head walls, three-room and four-way layouts, and Buyi Tengzhu and Yao grain warehouses. The small bridges and flowing water in the Jiangnan water town style in the ancient town are integrated with the garden art. Pavilions, terraces, rockery and ponds are scattered in an orderly manner, and the environment is quiet and elegant.
You can take a battery car, ox cart or horseback tour by land, and take a bamboo raft or boat tour on the Zhangjiang River by water. There is also a bar street, with quiet bars, slow-rock bars, etc., and resident singers create a relaxing atmosphere. There are also rich food. The ethnic food street and the night market street gather special snacks from all over the country, especially the "three kinds of beef" series made from Libo's local Jiarong small yellow beef, which makes people have endless aftertaste. In addition, the night view of the ancient town is charming, with quaint buildings and neon lights complementing each other. It is very lively in the evening and deserted in the morning.
Libo Ancient Town has a strong commercial atmosphere and lacks some of the original simplicity and tranquility of the ancient town.
