About Guanxian Ancient Town
Xuanhua Gate, West Street and the Yangliu River lanes reveal different parts of the old town, while South Bridge connects the visit with the larger river landscape. Restored structures and active commercial streets sit together here. The area is well suited to an evening meal or a slower walk after the waterworks, with no need to repeat the entire scenic-area route.
What to look for
- Xuanhua Gate and West Street help explain the old town’s urban form.
- Yangliu River lanes and South Bridge provide contrasting waterside walks.
