An Ancient Village in Guilin at the End of Stone Paths
A slow journey connecting the bridges, ancestral halls, and markets of Dashi, Zhangtou, Juxian, and Puli in the old towns and villages
The ancient village in Guilin is not a tourist attraction filled with similar tiled roofs. Dashi features the Li River's shipping history, Zhangtou and Langzi showcase the ancestral halls and homes of ethnic villages, Juxian reflects rural life along the Yulong River, and Puli focuses on the craft of paper fan making, each telling its own unique story.
In the old towns, since public transport is limited and tourist entry points are not clearly marked, let's choose one area to explore each day. Do not enter buildings where residents live or hold rituals without permission. Store the names of the villages in Chinese and your return transport details, and take a leisurely stroll through the stone alleys after it rains. Given the limited public transport, let's decide on the return vehicle and last pickup point first. Respect the openings and privacy of ancestral halls, residences, and workshops.

Comparing the villages reveals that even under the name of 'Guzhen', their formation backgrounds differ greatly. The commerce shaped by waterways, ancestral halls left by kinship communities, and the rural landscapes and artisan villages all showcase the surrounding culture of Guilin in different ways.
Instead of just zooming in on old walls, let's capture the spatial relationships between alleys, fields, docks, and ancestral halls in photographs. Take pictures of residents' faces and inside homes only with their consent and do not depend on cultural relics. Staying longer in one or two villages is beneficial for understanding the local rhythms of life. Given the limited public transport, let's decide on the return vehicle and last pickup point first. Respect the openings and privacy of ancestral halls, residences, and workshops.
