The ancient town is leisurely, and the tea is fragrant | Wuhan self-driving 2h, hidden in the deep mountain ancient town

🏠This is a border town located at the junction of Hunan and Hubei - Yangloudong. The waves of the Yangtze River and the waves of Dongting Lake have not been able to wash here. Only the hilly mountain ranges gathered here, and people planted a sea of tea trees here. It is said that the tea fragrance of the small town has been diffused in the air during the Yuan and Song Dynasties, and it reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "forty-two tea houses, seventy-two chimneys" is the best portrayal of this period. But the ups and downs of history have gradually hidden her name. Today's Yangloudong, like an old craftsman who guards outdated technology, is still silently waiting in the deep mountains. It's just that those old houses that condense the time and years, and those winding and winding old streets that reflect the historical light, are still telling the past. 📍Location: Yangloudong Ancient Town is located in Zhaoliqiao Town, Chibi City, Hubei Province 🚗Transportation: It takes about 2 hours to drive from Wuhan or Changsha.
