Features: Meipi Ancient Village is a gem among the ancient villages of Luliang. Located in the southeastern part of Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, 30 kilometers away from the city center, it covers an area of 1 square kilometer and has a current population of over 2,400. The village still preserves relatively complete cultural relics from ancient and modern times. The grand and magnificent ancient ancestral halls, the naturally bright ancient residential houses, the densely lined shops on ancient streets, the lingering scent of ink in ancient academies, the towering ancient camphor trees, the star-like ancient ponds, and the harmoniously unified memorial archways, gate towers, couplets, wood carvings, and stone carvings are all present. Revolutionary sites, churches, and docks are also well-preserved. It is known as the "Museum of Ancient Villages in Jiangnan." This illustrated album, with its exquisite printing and rich visuals, provides a comprehensive, objective, and beautiful presentation of Meipi Ancient Village. Let us take this album as a guide to interpret the distant history of Meipi, trace its past glory, and appreciate its true charm.
