About Shiquan Ancient Town
The east and west gates anchor the main old street, while Yuwang Palace, Guandi Temple and the Jiangxi Guildhall recall the town’s religious and trading life. Its compact plan rewards a slow walk between gateways and the riverside. The old street also becomes a food and evening-market area, giving the historic fabric an everyday use alongside sightseeing.
What to look for
- The surviving east, west and south gateways, including their carved stone inscriptions.
- Yuwang Palace and the old street’s temple and guildhall buildings.
- The relationship between the steep old-town edge and the Han River.
