Baofeng Ancient Town

宝丰古镇

A salt-trade ancient town that was once the seat of Yunlong prefecture. It preserves a Confucian temple, a Martial Temple and old houses, with the Bi River flowing around it.

Baofeng Ancient Town lies on the Bi River about 10 km south of Yunlong county town. It was originally called Luoma Well. During the Ming and Qing dynasties the salt trade flourished, and in the Qing dynasty the town was the seat of Yunlong prefecture. The town is built against the hillside and preserves a Confucian temple, a Martial Temple, temples large and small, and Qing-era houses. Its stone-paved lanes wind through the town. There are few visitors, and the everyday atmosphere is strong. The Confucian temple layout is intact, and admission is free or low-cost. Allow 1–2 hours, and combine it with the county town and Nuodeng.
