Day trip 40 km. Small but orderly town which is well known for its 米酒 Mǐjiǔ (rice wine). It has some cultural attractions like temples and pagodas. Unlike in other ancient towns, most of the buildings are newly built, if in a style resembling old Chinese houses. Streets are unusually wide and straight. It is a pleasant trip out of Hefei, especially if you have not visited any Chinese ancient towns yet. You may end up disappointed if you have seen other gǔzhèn before. Avoid visiting on weekends if you can.
