Libo Ancient Town
荔波古镇
A newly built, old-style tourist street on the Zhangjiang that brings together Buyi, Shui, Miao and Yao culture, most lively in the evening with lights and performances.
Libo Ancient Town sits on the Zhangjiang at Nanmen Ba, south of the county town. It is a recently completed old-style tourism complex. Its lanes are lined with ethnic snacks, handicraft shops, inns and bars, and at night there are light shows and live performances such as Water Rhythm of the Zhangjiang. Entry to the town is free; performances cost extra. It is about a 10-minute walk or taxi ride from the county centre, and it suits an evening visit after Xiaoqikong to try Libo sour meat and Zhangjiang fish. As a newly built commercial street, it does not show authentic village life; for that, visit Yaoshan Ancient Village or the Buyi village in Maolan instead.
Opening hours
