Fubao Ancient Town
福宝古镇
A stilted-house ancient town built up the side of a mountain, with blue-stone staircase streets climbing in tiers. It preserves the 'Three Palaces and Eight Temples' layout and is a National Famous Historic and Cultural Town.
Fubao Ancient Town lies in the southeast of Hejiang County, on the banks of the Dacao River. It was first built in the late Yuan or early Ming dynasty. The town sits along a mountain ridge, with stilted houses stacked up blue-stone steps, and fire-wall houses, old courtyards and temples and guild halls in good condition. It is considered one of the best examples of a mountain ancient town. Commercialization here is relatively light, so it is a good place to take your time with photography. The Fubao National Forest Park is nearby and cool in summer. It is about 1.5 hours by car from Luzhou city, and it pairs well with Yaoba Ancient Town for a day trip.
