Caoyan Ancient Town
草堰古镇
A former salt-field town on the Chuanchang River, with flagstone streets, old bridges and Ming and Qing buildings that preserve the look of the salt-transport era.
Caoyan Ancient Town lies in the southern part of Dafeng District, beside the Fan Gong Dyke and the Chuanchang River. Historically it was an important market town of the Huainan salt fields. It still has flagstone streets, old bridges, ancient wells, and Ming and Qing residences and guild hall remains. The town is small and little commercialized, so it suits visitors who love old streets. Allow about an hour to wander. It can be combined with Xixi Ancient Town or Dutch Flower Sea on the way.
