The town is most famous for its mountains with caves, pavilions, temples, ancestor hills, old trees and tablets. Every corner of the town presents a typically Chinese scene and presents a marvelous photo opportunity. Huang Yao was built in 927 B.C. and was a flourishing and wealthy town then.
The town streets are steady and even after hundreds of years'serving.Marvelously according with traditional chinese diviation??the layout of the town 's architectures are of southland style displaying the primitive simplicity with blue bricks and black tiles.
The more 'modern' part of town is one long dusty road where dogs roam, children run and adults repair broken down trucks or sell fruit on the side of the road. In fact not a lot happens here. The elderly sit on their doorsteps all day watching people go by, the children, who at the time of me being there all seemed to be around a year and a half old, walk around in the dirt, and the flies which congregate around the rubbish were unstoppable.
More than 30 temples,ancestral halls and pavillions are well preserved,as well ad numerous exquisite cultral relics including the calligraphy of Hanyu,the great scholar and calligraphy of Song Dynasty,He xiangning and Gao shuqi's residential houses and many other inscribed boards,couplets and steles,that enrich the history of the town.
