Old street archways stand in rows, standing alone; The layout of the ancient houses in the 24 th courtyard is rigorous and magnificent; Juxiu Lake, which is dozens of acres wide, gathers the double streams of Jin 'ao Mountain. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, Jiangcun's archway, old street, ancestral hall and folk houses remain attractive.
