Chángshòu

Changshou stands on the upper Miluo River in eastern Pingjiang. Originally called Gujiangzhou, the settlement took shape in the Yuan and was known as Changshou market by 1569. A patrol office moved to its old street in 1472. At the head of navigation on the Miluo, Changshou became a point where tea, medicinal herbs and other goods from the Jiangxi hills could be transferred to boats for the journey downstream. Its streets and lanes formed a market town serving the border country.
