The layout, form, style, and methods all follow the Tang and Song dynasties' standards. There is also the Gihon Garden, where small bridges over flowing water and pavilions and towers are found everywhere, reflecting the Zen spirit. ✅Luodian Ancient Town: With a history of over 700 years, the ancient town of Luodian features white-walled and black-tiled residential houses, crisscrossing rivers, and is not commercialized.
