Only if visitors stay for a night or two will they discover the charm of this ancient town.It looks even better on rainy days when the surrounding mountains are wrapped in mists.
Luckily enough,we arrived on a rainy day,and stayed for several days.
This landlocked place borders the most remote parts of Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
The most impressive features of the town’s rainsoaked landscape are the banyan trees(菩提树).They are everywhere,their umbrellalike branches reaching into the numerous streets and narrow lanes.
The other attraction is the almost undamaged Ming and Qingstyle architecture giving the town a poetic feel with its small bridges,canals and wooden houses.
A typical mountainous area of karst(石灰岩)formations,Huangyao possesses more than 300 ancient complexes.
Unlike the water towns of East China,Huangyao is surrounded by hills,protecting it from tourist attacks.
Even today,people are up with the sun and retire at sundown,much like their ancestors did.There are no pubs and KTV bars with loud music.
At night,visitors will only hear the sound of rain and wind,and the occasional bark of a dog.
A walk in the morning is an extremely pleasant experience as you weave your way through ageold houses,temples,shops,theaters and archways.Moonshaped bridges cross clear rivers,and the old streets are paved with beautiful blue flagstones(石板),typically associated with 14th century European castles.
