Longhu ancient village This is an ancient village that stretches for thousands of years. The ancestors built it according to the pattern of nine palaces and eight trigrams. The central straight street looks like a "Dragon Ridge", surrounded by lakes and pools. The place is called "Dragon Lake", and the village is called "Dragon Lake Village". On both sides of the straight street, three streets and six alleys extend horizontally, and there are more than 100 clan ancestral halls, Minghuan mansion and merchant rich gentry mansion, which constitute a prosperous street market with a pattern and shape quite similar to the ancient Chaozhou mansion - known as "xiaochaozhou". This is a famous historical and cultural tourist attraction in Chao'an District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. It was once rated as the "ten most beautiful ancient villages in Guangdong Province". The whole ancient village is distributed in strips, with surging Han water in the East, winding embankments and stretching green roads; In the west, there are more than a dozen pond beads and jade strings, just like a necklace shining in the sun. The small bridges on the lake are rainbow leaping, the banks are full of flowers, bamboos and willows, and trees are shady, creating a beautiful scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. These lakes and ponds have been invaded, silted up and deserted. In recent years, the government has invested a lot of money in dredging and renovation, building stone bridges, pavilions and supporting greening and beautification, so that the ancient village glows with unprecedented flexibility and vitality. Longhu has always been a very active market in Chaozhou in history. Beside the Han River outside the north gate dike of Guzhai, it was once the freight and passenger wharf of ancient Longhu Lake. Now it has been turned into a water conservancy Park and become a tourist attraction. Prosperous commercial trade has created a rolling source of money and provided strong financial support for the prosperity of local humanities.
