Features: Selected thirty ancient towns, representing the different classic ancient towns in Anhui Province. All the included ancient towns have been personally visited, interviewed, and photographed by the special correspondents of Zitu's "Ancient Towns Book" editorial department. They provide firsthand local materials, unadornedly documenting the natural conditions of the ancient towns. A significant portion of the ancient towns included were first discovered and recorded by Zitu's "Ancient Towns Book" editorial department in China, consistently delivering the earliest insights. Over the past two years, the author has personally traveled to nearly twenty provinces in China, visiting and witnessing the current state and changes of over four hundred ancient towns. They have sought out and discovered more unknown ancient villages. These ancient towns are paradigms of China's ancient towns across different regions, cultures, ethnicities, and architectural styles. They carry the vanishing spaces of ancient life and traditional human experiences.
