## About Yuliang

Yuliang Ancient Town sits at the downstream mouth of the Lianjiang River. Known in the past as “Liangxia,” it was Shexian's riverside wharf on the Lianjiang, a busy hub for trade and goods. The commercial street of Yuliang runs over 100 metres, lined mostly with historic buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The street follows the river's course, zigzagging and rising and falling with the terrain, offering rich and varied views. It is 2–3 metres wide and paved with bluestone slabs, with pebbles set in the center. Yuliang has distinctive sights including Yuliang Dam, the Xin'an Ancient Road, Baiyun Zen Temple, the Site where Li Bai Inquired the Way and the Ba Weizu Memorial Hall. Yuliang Dam is now on Shexian's list for World Cultural Heritage nomination.
