Xindian Ancient Town
新店
A tea port on the Hubei–Hunan border. Penghe Wharf once shipped Yangloudong brick tea to the Yangtze, and its Ming–Qing flagstone street and old shophouses remain.
Xindian Town lies southwest of Chibi, across the Penghe River from Linxiang in Hunan Province. In the Ming and Qing dynasties it was an important river wharf from which Yangloudong brick tea was shipped down to the Yangtze, earning it the name “Tea Port.” Its Ming–Qing flagstone street, together with the Yangloudong flagstone street, is a Hubei Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit. Old brick-and-timber shophouses and remains of guild halls line the street, and it is quieter than Yangloudong. It can be combined with Yangloudong and Zhaoliqiao into a half-day Ten Thousand-Li Tea Road route. The coordinates mark the town center.
