## About Huizhou Ancient City

Founded in the Qin dynasty, Huizhou Ancient City is one of China's four great ancient cities and feels like a grand, living history museum. Of its gates, the Nanqiao Tower is the most distinctive, while the Xuguo Memorial Archway is the finest part of the old town, and strolling beneath it brings a strong sense of history and gravitas. Several roads lead into the old town, and a loop through it takes in the main sights.
