Huangge Ancient Road – Huangjueya Old Street – Wenfeng Tower – Yu Youren’s Former Residence
Huangge Ancient Road
You must walk the Huangge Ancient Road to go up the South Mountain. Only when you step on the ancient bluestone slabs can you listen to the whispers of history. You can take Line 6 and get off at Shangxinjie Station, then walk about 1 kilometer to the entrance of the Huangge Ancient Road.
Today, the ancient road is like an old book, lying quietly at the foot of the South Mountain, always with a warm and simple style, hidden in the bustling buildings, becoming another kind of scenery in the city.
If you are tired, you can stop for a cup of tea at a teahouse. On this South Mountain, there are endless stories to tell, quiet but not prosperous, history and reality blend, creating a long and charming road.
Huangjueya Old Street
Standing at the entrance of Huangjueya Old Street, you can see the magnificent Guizhou Chamber of Commerce, and Daxia Post Station, known as the “First Station of Yuyuan Ancient Road”.
Walking along the back streets of the old street, a simple and plain old wooden house appears in front of you. This is the famous Sanmao Former Residence, which has now lost its lively life and the old house looks particularly quiet against the backdrop of greenery.
In addition, the old street also has Li Kui’an’s former residence, Kongxiangyuan, Zhang Jingying Camp, Tushan Porcelain Shop, Xie Family Courtyard, and more than ten historical buildings. Walking through the old street, you can see the former prosperity and shuttle between history and reality.
Wenfeng Tower
From Nanshan Hotel to Wenfeng Tower, many people are bound to be sweating profusely, but when you see the white seven-story pagoda in front of you, what does the hardship on the road matter?
Surrounded by pines and cypresses, the Wenfeng Tower stands tall among the dense forests on the top of the mountain, and the tower is covered with the traces of time.
Yu Youren’s Former Residence
Yu Youren’s Former Residence is a Chinese-Western style building with two floors and a basement. The whole house is built on a platform made of stone, with blue brick walls, a gable roof, and is built according to the mountain trend. There are trees planted in the open space in front of the building, full of vitality and green.
Finally, you can take bus No. 346 or 347 to go down the mountain. Before leaving, you might as well have a hot pot or spring water chicken to satisfy your stomach, and enjoy both the delicious food and the beautiful scenery.
