## About Yunshuiyao Ancient Town

This ancient town was the filming location for the movie *Yunshuiyao* (Clouds Over the Water). The large banyan tree and the waterwheel in the town are both scenes from the film. Many tulou here are still lived in by local residents. They are not as famous as Huaiyuan or Heshun, but the town is lively and full of everyday local character, and it is worth a visit.
