Yanshen Ancient Town & Taoliu Park
颜神古镇
A reconstructed ancient town in Boshan's old city, where glass-blowing workshops along the Xiaofu River, Boshan cuisine and night lighting come together.
Yanshen Ancient Town is named after Boshan's ancient name, Yanshen Town. Along the Xiaofu River, Ming- and Qing-style lanes, stone bridges and guild halls have been restored. The old town has glass-blowing workshops, ceramics shops, and local snacks such as Boshan crisp braised pot and tofu boxes. Night lighting and boat rides are very popular. The Taoliu Park in Shantou Subdistrict nearby preserves old kilns and remains of a ceramics factory, and is worth a detour. Entry to the ancient town is free, while some exhibition halls and performances charge separately. It is about 40 minutes by car from Zhangdian, and under 10 minutes by taxi within Boshan urban area.
