Zhonghe Ancient Town

中和镇

A thousand-year-old town where the ancient Danzhou prefectural seat stood. Its arcaded old streets, Ningji Temple, Guanyue Temple and ancient city gate recall the history of Daner Commandery.

Zhonghe Town was the seat of the former Danzhou prefecture and can trace its history back to Daner Commandery in the Han dynasty. It is a nationally recognized historic and cultural town. The town preserves the Wuding Gate and its ancient city walls, the Southeast Asian-style arcade street, Ningji Temple, Guanyue Temple and Dongpo Well, and Dongpo Academy is only about 1 km away. Local snacks include Danzhou mi lan, glutinous rice cakes and Guangcun sand worms. During festivals you can hear Danzhou diaosheng folk singing. The old town is free to visit, and it is worth planning half a day to see it together with Dongpo Academy.
