Qingyan Ancient Town (Chinese: 青岩古镇；pinyin: qīngyán gǔzhèn): Qingyan Ancient Town, originally built in 1378, is one of the most famous historical and cultural towns in Guizhou Province. Nowadays, because of its long history and strong cultural atmosphere, Qingyan Ancient Town has become an attractive destination for numerous domestic and foreign tourists. Because of its geographical location, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty established it as a station for transferring military messages and to house a standing army. Qingyan Ancient Town has gradually become a distinctive ancient town with cultural features of Ming and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911). Qingyan Ancient Town was built completely of stone. Visitors can see spectacular city walls built right on the cliffs with vast rocks. There are four gates in the wall facing north, south, east and west. Outside the four gates, there were originally eight stone tablets, which were considered the symbols of Qingyan Ancient Town. If you like, you can stop at one of those tea houses and have a taste of the famous local snacks, such as Qingyan tofu, rice tofu and Rose Candy.
