🏨 Huizhou Ancient City ❤Recommended Reason: Tang Xianzu's phrase 'In the ultimate place of infatuation, one dreams not of Huizhou' has left many yearning for this place, the essence of the old city is hidden in its alleys! 🌟Highlights: Doushan Street, Xinnan Street, Zhongshan Alley, Cross Street... To understand these ancient streets is to understand the charm of the old city. The white walls and black tiles on a rainy day have a unique charm. It's more like a pedestrian street for locals, filled with practical shops such as grain and oil sundries, food, and clothing, bringing the lively atmosphere of the old county town. 🗓Itinerary: Huizhou History Museum—Nanqiao Tower—Huizhou Government Office—Ancient City Wall—Xu Guo Stone Archway—Hui Garden—Doushan Street—Yuliang Ancient Town (Yuliang Street, Yuliang Dam) 1.
