Zhuoshui Ancient Town 濯水古镇
The stilted buildings in Zhuoshui Ancient Town are built on the levee of the Apeng River, which is built with boulder strips four to five meters high. After over 200 years of erosion by water, those boulder strips still stand upright. Looking down from the levee, the stilted buildings look like they are towering over the clouds.
Looking out from the stilted buildings, the Apeng River is shrouded by mist and the distant mountains go up and down and people feel quite relaxed and happy.
