China Travel Stop: Basumtso Lake

Huangpu Village in Guangzhou
I once read some travel-lovers' articles about introduction about Huangpu Village China tour deals. The articles spoke highly of this place so I decide to explore this villages in my spare time. It is free to enter the village. Here you can appreciate many traditional old houses and featured ancestral halls in local places. Yuxu Temple seems a Taoist temple and you can some pottery sculptures with images of the Taoist figures. It is said that there are many ports here but I only find a Huangpu Old Port site. A plaque on the bank says that Huangpu Village has played an important role in the oversea trade. In Qing Dynasty of Qianlong Era, it was the only foreign trade port in Guangdong. I really know little about ancestral halls. I always think they are mysterious. Ancestral halls are the belief and dream for a family clan. Hu Family Ancestral Hall, built in Qing Dynasty, is famous and featured one in the village.
Three Famous Old Towns in Changzhi, Shanxi
Because of job task, I had three days in Changzhi County of Shanxi Province luxury China travel and I used three days to roam around three famous old towns in Changzhi.
Yincheng Town is regarded as the iron museum in China. It is easy to find the exquisite iron sculptures. Roaming around the flagstone streets and appreciating the Ming-Qing style residences, we seem to get back to Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although it is less famous than Pingyao, Lijiang and Fenghuang ancient towns, Yincheng Town is more simple and less commercialized.
The buildings of Xihuo Town is older that that of Yincheng. Xihuo features many temples. God City Temple is very famous and popular in Xihua Town. No matter what happens like giving birth of baby, falling ill, taking an exam, people here are used to worship in God City Temple.
Nestled in the hinderland of Taihang Mountain, Doukou Folk Culture Village is an ancient but exquisite village. According to Doukou Records, the villages was first built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589). But now, here still keeps Ming and Qing style residences. Here you can witness more than 20 ancient sites such as temples, passes, shrines.
