A well-preserved stone mill in Baojiatun Village
Then, the experts came to Baojiatun, Xixiu District. According to historical records, Baojiatun was built in the second year of Ming Hongwu (1369), which is one of the earliest ancient tuns built in Tunbao village, with a history of nearly 600 years, and is known as the "first tun of Daming Tunbao", with unique historical and cultural value. In November 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture designated Baojiatun as a "national-level beautiful village" demonstration village. There are not only ancient villages with unique layouts, ancient water conservancy projects that are as old as old, but also a strong filial piety culture in the elegant countryside.

Walking into Baojiatun Village is like entering a beautiful pastoral picture, with stone roads, stone walls, and stone tiles, simple and clean, green on both sides of the road, and simple and tidy courtyards. The 600-year-old water mill house amazed experts and scholars who visited the site, and frequently raised their mobile phones to take photos.
Observe in this village
The delegation walked into the village of "Juntun" to feel the simple beauty of the medieval castle complex and experience the Hakka life of Jianghuai immigrants stationed in the mountains.

Originating from the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Benzhai Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, simple and elegant, and the architectural pattern of Tunpu is still intact. It was once the base camp of a military general during the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the south, and after several wars and natural erosion, the tun wall, watchtower, and stone monument still stand, and the stone ground wall, stone water leak, and ancient pavilion survived safely. Walking on the stone road of this village, there is a sense of trance through time and space.
Experts fully affirmed Anshun's efforts in protecting Tunpu culture, and said that they would further promote Tunpu culture through this seminar.
