Wangzhai Old Town & Qingshui River
王寨古镇·清水江
The county seat of Jinping was formerly known as Wangzhai. Here the Qingshui River meets the Xiao River, and the riverside walkway and old streets recall the timber wharves of the past.
The county seat, Sanjiang Town, was formerly called Wangzhai. During the Qing dynasty it was the largest distribution hub for Qingshui River timber, with many Dangjiang timber houses and wharves lining the water. Today there is a riverside promenade and viewing platforms, from which you can see the Qingshui and Xiao rivers meet, fishing boats on the water and the mountain town on both banks. Parts of the old quarter still preserve wooden houses and guild hall remains. It's a good place for an evening stroll, and you can sample local dishes such as Dong sour fish soup and pickled fish. The county seat is the hub for accommodation and transport.
