Liujiang Ancient Town
柳江古镇
A riverside ancient town in Hongya County known for stilted houses, ancient banyan trees and misty weather, called Misty Liujiang.
Liujiang Ancient Town lies in Hongya County, Meishan. It was first established in the Southern Song dynasty, and the Yangcun and Huaxi rivers meet here. Stilted houses along the river, centuries-old banyan trees and stepping stones form its signature scenery. Rain and mist make it especially photogenic, earning it the nickname Misty Liujiang. Within the town, you can visit old homes such as the Zeng family garden and the Yang ancestral hall, and eat local Hongya bangbang chicken and tofu pudding. The town is free to enter and about 1 hour by car from Mount Emei. It is often combined with Wawu Mountain and Mount Emei on a single trip.
