Introduction to Longtan Ancient Village: Longtan Ancient Village consists of three natural villages: Qianzhai, Zhongzhai and Houzhai. It still maintains traditional agricultural production and lifestyle. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of buildings were built in the village, which was once prosperous. The Gelao people with the surname Shen lived here for more than 700 years, forming a cultural context for the development of Gelao settlements with distinctive characteristics.
