Anyi Ancient Villages
安义古村群
Three linked Gan-style ancient villages, Luotian, Shuinan and Jingtai, with well-preserved Ming and Qing merchant houses, ancient camphor trees and flagstone roads.
The Anyi Ancient Villages lie in Shiqi Town, Anyi County, about 60 km northwest of central Nanchang. The group consists of three neighbouring ancient villages, Luotian, Shuinan and Jingtai, and is one of the best-preserved clusters of Gan-style villages in Jiangxi. The villages contain hundreds of Ming and Qing merchant residences and ancestral halls, with grey tiles, brick walls and horse-head gables closely set together. Luotian Village’s thousand-year-old camphor tree and its flagstone ancient post road are the most representative features, and the Anyi-style doors and windows, famous for their wood carving, are renowned. The three villages can be walked in sequence on a combined ticket (confirm on site), and the surrounding fields are full of rapeseed flowers in spring. The drive takes about an hour, making it suitable for a day trip.
