Fu Li Ancient Town

Since the year of XianQing in Tang Dynasty (1300 years ago), villages had been built. Later because of its convenient river transportation, the town became a flourishing area along Li River. The scenes in the movie” The Third Sister of Family Liu” that Brother A’niu saves the Third Sister and Liu’er carries firewood were made on the wharf of Fuli. The wharf of Ferry Village on the other side of the river was the location where “The Family of Fishermen” in the movie was made.

 

Yangshuo Fuli Town is a pier of Li River as well as an ancient port of Zhujiang river system. In the ancient time, there was no roads and railways so that Li River became the only transport route to Yangtze River and Pearl River. Fuli pier played a very important role during this time. As a frequently used port, Fuli gradually developed into a prosperous place. And because of the war, much immigrants from Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Anhui and Fujian also came to Fuli town as it was a comparatively safe place. And till now, half of the population in Fuli is immigrants so that Fuli is a multi-cultural place. And one of the oldest tribalism cultures – Gu Nuo culture – has been still preserved completely.
