Hekou Ancient Town: A Journey Through Time

Hekou Ancient Town, recently visited, still displays remnants of its past prosperity and unique charm. A 500-meter-long street from the Ming and Qing Dynasties stretches along the river, its ancient buildings retaining an elegant air. The worn bluestone pavement bears witness to the town's former bustling activity. A gently winding river flows through the town, crossed by bluestone bridges that enhance its waterside village ambiance. Along the riverside docks, clearly visible inscriptions on stone tablets evoke the town's historical significance as a trading hub where goods from various provinces converged and diverse dialects were spoken, with numerous boats mooring at night and lights illuminating the shore. These observations are based on a recent visit, and the accompanying pictures were taken on a sunny afternoon using a Lumix GM1 camera with a Lumix 20mm F1.7 prime lens.
