Lejiang

Gazing across the landscape, can you feel the echoes of Lejiang Town’s vibrant past? Lejiang, nestled in the Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County of Guangxi, China, whispers tales of transformation. Once a humble part of Piaoli Township, Lejiang embarked on its own journey in September 1987. This marked the birth of Lejiang Township, a community carved from the larger Piaoli entity. The year 2018 witnessed another milestone, elevating Lejiang from a township to a town. Its story isn’t just about administrative shifts. It’s a narrative woven with threads of cultural heritage and natural beauty. In 2016, three of Lejiang’s villages – Baozeng, Diling, and Shijia – earned a prestigious title. They were recognized as “Traditional Villages of China,” a testament to their preserved customs and unique charm. The Xun River, a vital artery, meanders through Lejiang, its waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. The town’s embrace extends beyond its human inhabitants. Beneath the surface lies a wealth of resources: jade, coal, copper, antimony, and marble, silent witnesses to the passage of time. The modern world connects with Lejiang through the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway, also known as the “Bao-Mao Expressway”. This thoroughfare, traversing the southern part of the town, links Lejiang to the wider world. The spirit of Lejiang is one of growth and resilience. It’s a town that honors its past while embracing the future, a place where the echoes of history mingle with the promise of tomorrow.
