Shanggantang Ancient Village
上甘棠古村
A thousand-year-old ancient village of the Zhou clan, Han Chinese. More than 200 Ming and Qing dwellings, Buying Bridge, and cliff inscriptions at Yuepo Pavilion are well preserved.
Shanggantang Village is in Xiacengpu Town. The Zhou clan has lived here since the Tang dynasty, and the village has continued for more than a thousand years. It is a Famous Historical and Cultural Village of China and a Traditional Chinese Village. The Xiemu River flows past the village entrance. Along the river stand the Song-dynasty Buying Bridge, Wenchang Pavilion, Zhonghou Ancestral Hall, and more than 200 Ming and Qing brick houses with grey tile roofs. Near the entrance at Yuepo Pavilion, the stone walls bear dozens of cliff inscriptions from the Song to the Qing dynasties. The village is still a living community, so please keep your voice down during your visit. Ticket prices vary and are confirmed on site. About 25 km from the county seat, it can be combined with a same-day visit to Goulan Yao Village.
