Which is more fun, Zhongshan Ancient Town or Laitan Ancient Town?

1. The ancient town of Laitan should actually be called the ancient village of Laitan, which has been more than 2 years ago. How can I walk into an old yellowed photo after a long walk to find a story that is still a little damp in the air? According to the local people, in order to prevent Taiping rebels from entering Sichuan and Li and Lan uprisings, Laitan carried out a massive reinforcement and maintenance during Tongzhi period, and built a stone defense facility around the whole ancient village. Today, this stone wall is still strong enough to verify that period of history. Laitan Village covers an area of .25 square kilometers. The four gates are cross-symmetrical, and the walls of the village are all made of stone more than half a meter long, which is very strong. There are also 2 meters of bluestone streets and more than 4 Qing Dynasty houses in Sene. Looking back through the tunnel of time, I went back to the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. Because of its proximity to the Qujiang River and the benefit of boating, Bed Beach was also a famous water pier, and merchants could be attracted when there was water. At that time, merchants gathered in Laitan Village, the market was prosperous and very prosperous, and Two Buddhas Temple, which was built on the mountain, was also a treasure trove of feng shui.

2. Zhongshan Ancient Town, commonly known as Sanhechang, also known as Longdongchang, is located in the southern mountainous area of Jiangjin City, 125 kilometers away from Chongqing City, about one and a half hours' drive, and is connected with Simian Mountain, a national scenic spot. The back of the ancient town is near the water, and the building of the town is built by the water, which is connected by three small streets: Longdong, Huangzhongba and Gaoshengqiao. In the past, Sanhechang used to be a bustling water wharf, which was a commodity distribution center in Sichuan and Guizhou mountainous areas. At present, there are still 82 words inscribed in the Southern Song Dynasty, describing the boating tour of Li Jiyong and Fish Zi Xian, as well as the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty, Pipayan.

The shops in the ancient town are the most representative. The commercial street formed according to the mountain trend is more than 1, meters long vertically, and the buildings crossing the street in its wind and rain fields are almost all "closed" buildings that can shelter from the wind and rain, thus fully taking into account the characteristics of rain and shine in eastern Sichuan. Most buildings are two-story "diaojiao building", the lower floor is paved, and people can live upstairs. The paved bay is large and easy to combine; The whole ancient town is covered with blue tiles, with red lacquer boards and bamboo sticks sandwiched between walls and columns bearing loads, which reveals the original charm of Bayu people in its simplicity and dignity.

There are 29 families living in the ancient town, and the traditional folk business formats such as blacksmith shop, Chinese medicine shop and barber shop still exist. At this moment, the warm sun in late winter shines obliquely into the narrow old street, plating a touch of gold on the dark corner of the street, and the ancient town suddenly becomes full of vitality. Walking through the old streets paved with pieces of indigo stone, walking through the stone stairs and alleys in curved Catharine, the wind passing through the field is filled with the fragrance of herbs from time to time, and the splashing fire in the blacksmith's shop and the tinkling sound of striking the iron are in harmony with each other, so that there is an artistic flavor that needs no carving, while the white-haired old man with a shaved head under the eaves on the street is at ease and at ease, like an oil painting, which sets off a unique picture of living and working in peace and contentment in the ancient town. Zhongshan town, located in Jiangjin County, Chongqing, is one of the top ten ancient towns in Chongqing. The ancient town is built by the river, which is very similar to the style of Jiangnan water town, but it forms a narrow old lane with a length of three kilometers. Both sides are dominated by Qing dynasty buildings, which are very well preserved, and the bluestone road on the ground gives people an ancient and harmonious feeling.

3.5 kilometers away from the ancient town, there is a reservoir named Longdong Reservoir, which is a local hydropower station. The water quality of the reservoir is average, not wide but long. Not far from the shore, the water is shallow and the river sand is very soft, which is very suitable for swimming and leisure.
