About Dayan Sifang Square
On its western side, Kegongfang rises as a three-storey gateway; east of the square, Dashiqiao crosses the old town’s watercourse on paired stone arches. The square also hosts community celebrations and dancing, though no performance is guaranteed. Use it as a place to pause and understand the town’s street-and-water layout before exploring the smaller lanes.
What to look for
- Kegongfang’s three-storey gateway stands at the western side of the square.
- Nearby Dashiqiao has two stone arches and a traditionally paved deck over the watercourse.
