What's interesting about Qingyan ancient town in Guiyang?

Stone archway, backstreet, Champion House, Wenchang Pavilion.

There are eight archways inside and outside the four gates of Qingyan Ancient City, and only three of them have been preserved so far, namely "Zhou's daughter-in-law Liu Jiexiao Square" outside the south gate, "Zhao Square" inside the south gate and "Zhao Square" outside the north gate. The architectural shapes of the three archways are basically the same, with four columns, three rooms, four roofs and three floors. They are 9.5 meters high and 9 meters wide, facing south, belonging to the architectural style of stone archway in Qing Dynasty. Surprisingly, the three archways have no foundation slots, and they stand directly on the ground by four rectangular pillars, standing upright for more than 100 years. Among them, "Zhao Baishou Square" is only a few steps away from Dingguangmen, and its originality is unique. It is praised as "a rare masterpiece of art" by Liu Haisu, the master of art, and the three stone archways have also become the love of photographers.

Backstreet is the most distinctive stone lane in Qingyan. After hundreds of years of scouring and sharpening, the bluestone slabs on the pavement have been shining like mirrors, bringing a unique sense of time and space and mystery to the streets and lanes. On both sides of the street are layers of stone walls, and the roads are narrow and quiet, undulating along the mountains, which is an excellent photography location. Backstreet is also a place where scenic spots are concentrated.
