The highlights in Wan’an

On the main commercial street, the facade of the old houses are well-preseved and fascinationg to look at, baring popular commercial slogans from the early twentieth century.

The town’s main commercial street also has a barber shop that has survived from the early twentieth century and is worth a detour if you have time.

There used to be three outstanding luopan workshops in Wan’an called Wu Luheng, Fang Xiushui and Hu Ruyi, named after the craftsmen who once piled their trade there. Unfortunately, following the economic downturn in Wan’an and the Sino-Japanese War of the early twentieth century on the Wu Luheng Workshop remained, and even that was shut down during the cultural purge of the 1960s. In the 1980s all three worshops restarted production in some form or other, attracting tourists, fengshui practitioners and antique dealers from home and abroad to rediscover the lost art of the luopan fengshui compass.
