Features: From 129 countries and regions, 754 World Heritage sites, we have selected the essence of the essence and compiled them into this book. Each site is a masterpiece of human genius and the wonders of nature! Time seems to have here, hundreds of years ago, the same cobblestone streets, the same white-walled and black-tiled houses. When the world is in a hurry to move forward, these old towns and ancient villages still live their lives with ease. The ancient villages of Huizhou at the foot of Huangshan Mountain are like the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming. The Carcassonne Castle in France reminds one of the knights and heroes of the Middle Ages. Walking into the picturesque Salzburg, Mozart's heavenly music can be heard everywhere. There is no noisy carriages and horses, no dazzling colorful neon lights, only the traces of time, the profound culture accumulated over hundreds of years. Ten incredibly charming ancient towns, with their simple and authentic appearances, take us from ordinary households to the life wisdom passed down through generations.
