Yangwan Ancient Village is located in the southwest of Dongshan, starting from Yangwan Bangchang in the east and extending to Xuanyuan Palace in the west, with a total length of over 500 meters and a scenic area of 36.4 hectares, including cultural landscapes such as a Ming Dynasty street, an ancient imperial road, and the ancient Wu State site of Yanwudun.
Upon entering Yangwan Ancient Village, one is greeted by the ‘ten thousand people’ pattern and water wave pattern streets made of fine blue bricks. Along the streets, there are more than 20 ancient buildings from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, with Ming Dynasty architecture being the most prevalent, totaling 19 buildings. These include official residences, comfortable households, commoner dwellings, and small tea houses and shops.
The ancient and simple gate walls, smooth bluestone steps, mottled windows, and moss-covered eaves all exude an air of antique charm. Within Yangwan Ancient Village, there are several famous ancient residences from the Ming and Qing dynasties, including Xiqing Hall (a Ming Dynasty residential building with existing front building, brick carving gate tower, and rear building, among which the rear building has a high cultural relic value), Huaiyin Hall (a mid-Ming Dynasty civilian building, now only one section remains, including the gate tower, main building, and side rooms, etc.), Zude Hall, Huihe Hall, and Jiuda Hall.
Opening times are all year round, open all day, with specific business status subject to the day’s opening conditions.
