Guangnan Old Town
Guangnan in Wenshan Prefecture has
preserved a 700-year-old ancient
town inside the present county seat. Embraced by densely-forested
mountains, Guangnan county seat resembles a blooming lotus flower,
and the ancient town is located right in the center. For this reason,
Guangnan county seat has won the fame of “Lotus Town”. In the Ming
and Qing dynasties, over 50 temples and pavilions were successively
constructed in Guangnan. These architectures with carved beams
and painted pillars show unspeakable grandeur. The surviving ancient
buildings include Haotian Tower, Longevity Pavilion, the stone
archway of Lingxing Gate, the Stone Archway on Xijie Street and the
Solar Temple etc.
