Features: Using field research and writing methods, the book searches for and records 25 well-preserved ancient towns in Hunan Province, which can essentially be considered classic representatives of Hunan's ancient towns. They include both traditional ancient villages and a large number of ethnic minority ancient villages, filled with a unique, otherworldly charm. In these ancient towns, we have found a sense of home and witnessed the profound, vast, yet fragile and fleeting beauty of rural China. This book comprehensively selects and presents 25 ancient towns, representing the diverse styles of ancient towns in Hunan Province, making it a classic. All the ancient towns included in the book have been personally visited, interviewed, and photographed by special correspondents of the Purple Image "Ancient Towns Book Editorial Department," with firsthand local materials, unadornedly documenting the natural state of Hunan's ancient towns. The book exclusively features a significant portion of ancient towns, which were first discovered and recorded by the Purple Image "Ancient Towns Book Editorial Department" domestically, consistently delivering the first voice. A large number of ethnic minority ancient villages present unique homelands with distinctive charm on the land of Sanxiang.
