Huangyao Ancient Town is located in Zhaoping County, Hezhou, Guangxi, originating during the Song Dynasty and with a history of nearly a thousand years. It is named after the predominantly Huang and Yao surnames in the town. The ancient town features typical karst landforms, laid out in a nine-palace and eight-trigram layout, with alleys crisscrossing. The town has preserved over 300 Ming and Qing dynasty buildings and eight bluestone streets, giving it a strong Lingnan style. Three streams and rivers run through the town, with ancient houses, banyan trees, and small bridges and flowing water complementing each other, earning it the nickname "Dream Home." The town is also famous for its couplet culture and produces Huangyao fermented black beans, which were once tribute products. As a national 5A-level tourist attraction, Huangyao is a great place to experience Lingnan culture and the poetic scenery of its landscape.
