There are eight streets in the town. Most of the houses maintain the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the streets are all built with bluestone slabs. The cultural landscape also includes the ink ink of Han Yu and Liu Zongbiao, the memorial hall of the former site of the Guangxi Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, the statue of martyr Qian Xing, the residences of cultural celebrities such as He Xiangning, Gao Shiqi, Qian Jiaju, and many poetry couplets and inscriptions.

Self-guided donkeys can freely enter and exit the ancient town from many intersections. There are several scenic spots in the ancient town, such as Dailong Bridge, Sitting and Drinking Tea, and the entrance to the village. There are many nice little scenes in the ancient town, making it a good place for photography enthusiasts. Next to the ancient town, walk along the river to Wenming Pavilion. The road is pastoral and the scenery is good. On the mountain next to the ancient town (with a red flag planted), you can see a panoramic view of the entire Huangyao town. The local children are voluntary guides, and you can go hiking with them. Wenming Pavilion This is a small temple built on the mountain. It is a place where local villagers worship gods. When you reach Wenming Pavilion, you continue to climb up. There is a platform used by local people to pray for rain. When you climb up, you can see the river and pastoral farms. There is a lawn under the Wenming Pavilion. Huang Yao's children will definitely encourage you to set off fireworks and barbecue at night. It is also good to watch the stars here. But after the barbecue, don’t forget to pack away the garbage bags and fireworks cans you brought, and take away paper towels and other sundries.

Zhoujia Reservoir: About three or four kilometers away in the direction of Zhaoping, you can take a tricycle for 1 yuan, or you can also walk. There are 20 public bamboo rafts in this reservoir, which can be used at will, but safety must be paid attention to. On the way to the reservoir, the pastoral scenery on both sides is very good. The unique yellow mud brick walls in the area, coupled with the vertical and horizontal streets, give a soft feeling. On the way back, we looked at the ancient town in the distance. Behind the town, there are towering karst peaks, which are simple and beautiful.

Entertainment

When I was in Huang Yao, I checked the local old monthly magazine and saw two festivals. One is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, when operas are performed on the ancient stage; On July 14th and 15th, there is a custom of worshiping the river god (lighting grapefruit lanterns and placing them in the river at night). The ceremony lasts about 2-3 hours. In short, Huang Yao cannot be played in one day, nor can it be felt after staying for one night. It takes time to experience it. The folk customs here are simple and ancient, making people feel that time is passing by.
