Liujiang Ancient Town is located on both sides of the Liujiang River, a tributary of the Huaxi River, 25 kilometers southwest of Hongya County. It was called Sanxichang in the late Ming Dynasty. In the 12th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1734), the two surnames Jiang and Liu were renamed Liujiangchang. In the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1140), it was renamed Mingyue Town, and it has been repeatedly abolished and revitalized in the past dynasties.

Liujiang Ancient Town is based on ancient banyan trees that are naturally curved along the river. The buildings are hidden among the green trees. Among the buildings facing the river, there are 85 ancient and famous trees with a diameter at breast height of more than 0.82 meters. Under the heavy shade, unique wooden houses with turrets appear along the river. The clear water of the river flows through the town. Because of the clear mountains and green waters, it has successfully created a beautiful town with mountains, rivers, green trees and wooden houses with turrets complementing each other.

Liujiang Ancient Town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. Separated from the modern buildings by the water are the buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The quaint wooden houses on stilts rest on the ancient yellow Ge trees with intertwined branches. At the end of half the street of the wooden houses, there is a long stone street connected with no words, showing the vicissitudes and simplicity of the street.

The rivers that Liujiang Town relies on are not called Liujiang, but Huaxi River and Yangcun River. The two rivers converge in Liujiang Town, forming a small island in the river at the confluence. There are residential houses hidden among the green trees on the island, which is quite poetic and picturesque. It is said that the island was bought and settled by a painter in his early years. People can't help but admire the painter's vision.

There have always been many ancient trees in the ancient town. In Liujiang Ancient Town, there are not only many huge ancient Huang Ge and Maliu trees, but also a Huang Jue orchid that is said to be 200 years old. The old yellow orchids are tens of meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers is astonishing. What's more surprising is that there is a strange tree in Zeng's courtyard across the wall from this yellow orchid. The tree is covered with long and thin fruits like cowpeas. No one in the local area knew its name or its origin, so we had to call it the cowpea tree. The courtyard with the cowpea trees is called the Zeng Family Courtyard, covering an area of ??11,621 square meters. It has four quadrangle courtyards and three stages. In the courtyard, there is a viewing platform, eight-character gantry, lady building, study room, stone archway, peony garden, The lychee garden and leisure pavilion clearly show the former luxurious style of the owner of the courtyard. Since the father of the owner of the courtyard had a character for longevity in his name, the Zeng family courtyard was designed and built with the strokes of the character for longevity, which was quite creative.
