This forgotten ancient town is undeveloped, with no commercial activity, and is cold and deserted.

It is an ancient village built on a small hill, with six alleys radiating in all directions, all paved with stone slabs or cobblestones. The architectural layout is unique, mainly in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with mostly stacked beam wooden structures, supplemented by blue brick exterior walls. The overall style is simple and elegant, with smooth lines and delicate details. It is said that the Xiong family was the first to live here, and the village was formed during the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is called Xiong Village Ancient Town. The ancient town is undeveloped, with no commercial activity and no tourists. Only a few elderly people live in some houses, and it is cold and deserted. The more glorious it was in the past, the more desolate it is now. Walking on the deserted old stone road, you will feel its vicissitudes, desolation, and helplessness... Interestingly, the Daxu Ancient Town, 8 kilometers away from Xiong Village Ancient Town, is bustling with tourists because it has been developed. Compared with the lively atmosphere there, this ancient town, which no one cares about, seems even more deserted. Location: Xiong Village, Daxu Town, Lingchuan County, Guilin City, Guangxi Route: 1.
