Is there a fairyland in China?

Yaoli Ancient Town

When people are suffocated by the noise of the city, it becomes a great temptation to get close to nature and return to nature. The ancient rural town, which bears a heavy history and culture, is the best place for wandering souls to rest.

In the star-studded ancient town of China, Jiangxi Yaoli is undoubtedly a dazzling pearl.

Yaoli is an ancient, simple and clean landscape map of the south of the Yangtze River, which is quiet, elegant and ethereal. The mountains and rivers, ancient towns and villages here are full of unimaginable temptations. Kiln, called "Kiln" in ancient times, is the main birthplace of Jingdezhen ceramics.

As a tourist destination, the ancient buildings in Yaoli are the biggest feature of China. The green peaks are surrounded by the clear Yao River. On both sides of the river, buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, vaguely discernible ancient kiln sites, desolate and heavy Huizhou ancient commercial roads, or dense, or dotted with stars, all reveal the ancient charm, which makes people stop to meditate and imagine.

Guzhen River runs from east to west, living in north and south, but the streets are criss-crossed. Set foot on the Ming and Qing commercial streets paved with bluestone slabs, with ancient doorways, ancient window sills and ancient goods tables, which are well preserved and exquisite in workmanship. The beacon tower wall in Malaysia has cornices, which extend over the front of the ancient street and have a feeling of returning to nature. Hundreds of such buildings in the whole ancient town are gathered together, which is spectacular and very rare. In the whole building complex, several Cheng's ancestral halls are the most spectacular, especially Lion Mountain. Cheng's ancestral hall was built on the riverside, facing Lion Mountain and Yaohe River. The main hall is bright and open, and the side hall is clean and tidy. Most of the wood carvings in the temple are related to Cheng. The ancestor of local Cheng is a "demon on earth", and he worships it very much. On the other side of the river, Lion Mountain won the battle, sitting north facing south, facing Yaoling, looking at Lion Mountain and facing Heyao River, which also benefited from Feng Shui. Siheyuan, built in the late Qing Dynasty, is a residential building that combines Chinese and Western cultures and connects ancient and modern times. There are hundreds of wood carvings on indoor doors, windows and beams, with vivid pictures and exquisite workmanship. The content ranges from four classical novels, ancient operas to folklore, showing the owner's luxurious and knowledgeable identity.

Yaoli Ancient Town is also an important activity base of the New Fourth Army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Chen Yi's former residence, the Anti-Japanese Mobilization Conference venue and the New Fourth Army station are well preserved. Yaoli has thus become a red land, leaving many tragic and touching stories.

In addition to the ancient town, the natural scenery in Yaoli is also very charming. Nanshan Waterfalls, virgin forests and mysterious canyons often make people linger. "The ancient town is enlightened and the canyon becomes immortal" is the biggest feeling of Yaoli tour. Walking into Meiling Grand Canyon is like walking into an ecological maze. Here, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the peaks are strange. Apes are singing on both sides and birds are singing endlessly. The spotless stream jumps between cliffs, as if washed away from people's hearts, which is particularly refreshing. Walking into the virgin forest of Wang Hu is like walking into a mythical world. Several people were surrounded by torreya grandis, nanmu and Liriodendron, which covered the whole forest. Before the dead trees, thousands of trees flourished, confirming the eternal ecological and natural laws. People walk into this vast forest not only to understand the knowledge of natural botany, but also to cultivate their self-cultivation. In this natural oxygen bar, there are more than100000 negative oxygen ions per cubic meter of air, which often makes people walk in the forest to produce saliva, strengthen limbs and relieve fatigue.

Of course, Nanshan Waterfall and the ancient kiln sites around the south are unique in Yaoli Scenic Area and worth visiting. It is of great benefit to experience what is thrilling under the waterfall and try to figure out what is labor wisdom by the ancient kiln.

Today, Yaoli has already bid farewell to the boat and the traffic is very convenient. Less than 50 kilometers by car are Jingdezhen, Changjiu, Jingjiu, Yingjing and Huang Jing Expressway and high-grade highway under construction, connecting Yaoli Scenic Area with Huangshan and Lushan into a network. Trains also transit from Nanjing, Nanchang, Shanghai, Fuzhou and other large and medium-sized cities. It's only a three-hour drive from Wuhan to Jingdezhen.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Yaoli Ancient Town seized the opportunity of the transformation of tourism products from single type to compound type to increase its attractiveness, and introduced China International Tourism Trust and Investment Co., Ltd., Zhangjiajie Shanshui Tianxia Co., Ltd. and other tourism investment enterprises, aiming at protecting resources by the market and speeding up infrastructure construction. The newly established Jingdezhen Yaoli Tourism Development Co., Ltd. has just been established, but it has started the revision and standardization of scenic spots and completed the preliminary feasibility study and market analysis of many infrastructures. It is planned to turn Yaoli into a tourism center in Jiangxi in less than two years, and to turn Yaoli into a new tourism brand integrating humanities and landscapes in Jiangxi and even China in three to five years, and a new flagship of Jiangxi tourism.

If you want to give your tired wandering souls a short-term comfort in the city, if you want to find a leisure station in a hurry, then my friend, Yaoli will not live up to your expectations.
