The ancient town of Huangyao has a history of nearly a thousand years. Like other towns in the south of the Yangtze River, people with white walls and blue tiles, small bridges and flowing water all exude a quaint atmosphere. This ancient town has witnessed the changes of history, engraved with the imprint of time, and still retains the life of local people, where you can feel the tranquility of life. About the ancient town:

Huangyao is an ancient town with a history of nearly 1,111 years. It originated in the Song Dynasty, and it was named "Huangyao" because there were mostly Huang and Yao surnames in the town. Like many towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there are small bridges, flowing water, people's houses, carved eaves and beams murals, and ancient houses with poems and paintings on the eaves. If you come here in summer, you might as well go to the Nongqu Garden, which is a good place to enjoy the lotus. There are also restored ancient workshops of douchi, tofu and oil pressing in the garden.

There is no noisy bar in Huangyao. Children's shoes that love fun and romance can make a detour. If you like the life of green mountains and clear waters and farm dogs, this place is very suitable for you.

There are no great men or literati who are familiar with it, but there are simple and reasonable family rules for ancestral training. There are no high-end and exquisite restaurants, but there are home-cooked dishes with refreshing ecology; Although the heyday of business is gone, the consciousness of operating with heart and paying attention to word of mouth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The rare thing about Huangyao ancient town is that it can retain the life of a large number of local people even though it has been commercialized and accommodation and meals are convenient. It is very important that Huangyao has been an important commercial town and the market center of the surrounding villages since ancient times, so the locals are very good at doing business and have a good sense of word of mouth. Whether they have the intention to clinch a deal or not, they warmly greet you, from inns to specialties. Most of the shops here are run by local people, and most of them are local specialties. Compared with other ancient towns like Yiwu wholesale market, Huang Yao is really much better. Therefore, there is no need to criticize the shops here too much. After all, people have been selling lobster sauce here since ancient times before you took it as a scenic spot. Travel time:

We must stagger the statutory holidays, not to mention the doubling of the accommodation price, and there are also many tourists. It is best to come on weekdays, which can restore a clean ancient town. You must get up early in the ancient town. After seven o'clock, the shops are not open yet, and there are few tourists. What you see most are local children who are going to school. About transportation:

After taking the high-speed train to Hezhou South Station, you can take the bus to Hezhou West Bus Terminal and take the bus to Huangyao Ancient Town, which runs every hour. You can also take a taxi from high-speed railway station to Guzhen, which costs 41 yuan/person, and the return trip is the same. About accommodation:

On weekdays, Huang Yao's accommodation is not expensive. We stayed at Deyun Mountain Villa and Gujia Inn, which took photos of Shengguang, for more than 111 nights. It was clean and sanitary, with enough space, and the bosses were very enthusiastic. About catering:

These days, most of us are eating at the farmer's rice with food margin under the big tree next to the Dragon Bridge. The scenery is very good. We recommend cauliflower and braised pork with bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots are really tender and do not slag at all.

Like ancient buildings, there are three treasures of Huang Yao: Douchi, Polygonatum sibiricum and preserved plum. Walking in the old street, you can always smell the thick sauce aroma, and you can eat a bowl of rice with this aroma. This is the taste of lobster sauce and various pickles.

Huangyao Douchi was once a tribute in ancient times, and it was also sold abroad to Southeast Asia. The difference between it and Yangjiang Douchi is that Yangjiang Douchi is used to steam ribs and the like, while Huangyao Douchi has been seasoned and can be directly used to deliver meals.

Many families here can cook fermented beans and pickles. Because they are made by hand, the taste of each family is slightly different. You can try them before deciding. Douchi is really fragrant. It is said that it is the water quality that makes Douchi here unique.
