What are the historic sites in Yaowan, Xiangtan?

The deepest smell of an old city often comes from the back of the day, from the darkest backlight, and from the oldest and broken streets. They are the watchmen of the city, constantly polished by time and infiltrated by history. If you want to see a city clearly, you must first go to an old street. Without looking at that street, it is impossible to understand the city, because it is not only a street, but also everything here.

Yaowan Ancient Street, an old street that has almost faded out of memory of these young people in Xiangtan. I didn't know the name of Yaowan Ancient Street until I read a Hunan travel magazine. Last time I went to Xiangtan to find Xixi, I didn't make it because of time. This time, while I have time, the two of us will join hands again to find the ancient street of Xiangtan-Wanyao Ancient Street.

The ancient street is separated from one of the waters by Yangmeizhou in Jiang Xindao of Xiangjiang River. Legend has it that Zeng Guofan once sent Peng Yulin to camp in Yangmeizhou to practice the Xiang Navy and build warships on Yangmeizhou.

There are several ancient ferries and boats on the river, and it can be seen that the prosperity at that time was in sharp contrast with the current desolation.

For Yaowan, there are too many Gu Xiang, too many sorrows and sighs, and too many historical ups and downs, which makes people ask what kind of ancient town it is and how far it is from us.
