It is the most desolate ancient town in the country, with a history of over a thousand years

Those ancient towns that have become popular often see high frequencies of keywords like 'performance' and 'show' in the comments. As ancient town tourism becomes increasingly competitive, those millennia-old towns that exude a sense of historical vicissitudes and the passage of time, and are primitive, serene, and uncommercialized, are not only forgotten by people but some are gradually fading from public view. Among them, there is such a place in our country; it is the most desolate ancient town in the country, with a history of over a thousand years, yet it is little known! Curious friends might ask, where exactly is this most desolate ancient town in the country? What unique scenery does it have? With these questions and curiosities, today we will talk about the stories of Liye Ancient Town. 'Liye' is Tujia language, meaning 'opening the sky' and 'dragging the earth'. Liye Ancient Town is nearly half the size of a county town. Its specific location is at No. 1, Bijian Street, Liye Town, Longshan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. Although Liye Ancient Town has a history of over a thousand years, it is little known! However, it, along with Wangcun Ancient Town, Pushi Ancient Town, and Chadong Ancient Town, is known as one of the four famous towns in Xiangxi.
