Hidden Yunji Mountain Ancient Town - A good place to view Chinese classical architecture

Yunji Mountain Ancient Town is located at the foot of Yunji Mountain Provincial Nature Reserve in Xinfeng County, Shaoguan. The town is shaded by green trees and has a stream running through it. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and the scenery is beautiful, making people feel like they are in a paradise. The ancient town is home to many ancient buildings with local characteristics, including the Hui style, Fujian style, Cantonese style, Hakka style, and ethnic minority areas around Shaoguan. It feels like walking into a Chinese classical architecture museum.

Some people say that architecture is solidified music and solidified history. Strolling through the ancient town of Yunji Mountain, we saw the ancient Hui-style buildings in the alleys, the stilt houses by the stream, and the arcades in the Minnan courtyards in the valley. These three important systems are integrated into the foot of Yunji Mountain, nestling against the mountains and beside the water, and are breathtakingly beautiful. It seemed as if we had arrived at the Xijiang Miao Village in Southeast Guizhou again. However, the architecture here is a little different. The Hui style, Fujian style, Cantonese style and other architectural styles are gathered together, giving us a broader space for research and imagination.

Beautiful mountains, gurgling water, poetic and picturesque scenery, and a relaxed and happy mind - this is the best conclusion to a visit to Yunji Mountain Ancient Town.
