Embraced by mountains, Zhenyuan Ancient Town is in the east of Guizhou. The Wuyang River, the mother river of Zhenyuan, runs through it in the shape of an S, forming a gossip map, so Zhenyuan is also known as the ancient town of gossip.

There are a large number of historical architectures, traditional folk houses, and ancient wharves along the Wuyang River, such as Qinglong Cave, Shiping Mountain, Tiexi Scenic Area, etc., which attract countless Chinese and foreign travelers every year to escape from the noisy metropolises and crowded tourist areas.
