Features: Using on-site research and writing methods, the book searches for and records 25 well-preserved ancient towns in Hunan Province to date. These towns can essentially be considered classic representatives of Hunan's ancient towns, including both traditional ancient villages and a large number of ethnic minority ancient villages, brimming with exotic and alternative charm. In these remaining ancient towns, we have found a sense of home and comfort, and witnessed the profound, vast, yet fragile and easily fleeting beauty of rural China. This book comprehensively selects and features twenty-five ancient towns, representing the diverse styles of ancient towns in Hunan Province and is truly classic. The ancient towns included in the book are all personally visited, interviewed, and photographed by special correspondents of the Zitu "Ancient Towns Book" Editorial Department, with authentic on-the-ground materials, unadornedly recording the natural state of Hunan's ancient towns. The book exclusively features a significant portion of ancient towns, which are the first to be discovered and recorded and published in China by the Zitu "Ancient Towns Book" Editorial Department, always delivering the first voice. A large number of ethnic minority ancient villages present unique homelands with distinctive charm on the vast land of Sanxiang.
