Is the Chunqiu Village on the top of the mountain, a village that escaped war in ancient times, a niche tourist attraction in Xiangyang?
In a village in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, on a mountain 270 meters above sea level, a stone house was built on the ridge according to the mountain. It is 490 meters long in total and more than 50 meters wide at its widest point from east to west. This was in ancient times. A village built to escape the war, a stone house built by a family on this hilltop. Now the roof has long disappeared, leaving only broken walls. The ancient soldier's village stretching on the top of the mountain is majestic and still upright from any angle. The ruins of the ruins tell of the glory of the past. The stockade currently standing on the cableway is newly built.
Chunqiu Village is a typical representative of the ancient mountain village site in Nanzhang, embodying the settlement form that integrates defense and residence. The ancient fort that dominates the mountain gate takes us back to the days of war and war a thousand years ago! The Maoyan River meandering at the foot of the mountain has condensed into emerald green after thousands of years of baptism, nourishing the water and soil and soothing tourists from afar.
Arrive at the foot of the mountain, climb up the stairs, and roam around Chunqiu Village. I saw only houses made of stones, laid out according to the Bagua layout. The existing ones are all in ruins, full of vicissitudes of life. I think back on the days when there were many heroes here with gold and iron horses. As the song goes, "So many things in ancient and modern times are all made up of jokes." If you have enough time, you can also take a boat trip on the Maoping River and see the ancient villages in the distance, which is a unique experience. You can also take a speedboat or rafting to find romance and excitement.
I am not a poet, I am a scholar. To be precise, I am a scholar who loves to write poems. That day I took the person I love most in my life to visit this ancient village - Chunqiu Village for the first time. . Since then, I have seldom written poems, because in my heart there is no other beautiful scenery that surpasses my deep love. The past is like smoke. I hope I can revisit it with my lover in the future. At present, the transportation in Chunqiu Village is slightly inconvenient, so save the time. Visitors are advised to drive there by themselves.
Chunqiu Village is the largest known ancient village in Xiangyang City and the second largest ancient village in Asia. It has been approved as a provincial cultural relic protection unit. What most people are looking at now is a newly developed scenic spot based on the ancient Bingzhai architecture that has been preserved for more than a thousand years. It is named after the Spring and Autumn Tower built in the village to commemorate Guan Gong. Sitting on the cable car, you can enjoy the gentle breeze and a panoramic view of the beautiful mountains. Looking at the panoramic view of two mountains sandwiched by a river, the remaining ancient military village still retains its momentum. The carved tower extends from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it a spectacular sight.
As a product of a turbulent period, its existence itself has a unique flavor, and its preservation to this day can be regarded as a scenery in Xiangyang. It's just that those legends related to Guan Gong don't need to be taken seriously. As stories or anecdotes, it's better than nothing. The place is very remote, you have to go through the mountains, and it takes several hours to drive from Xiangyang. Objectively speaking, the mountains and waters are pretty good.
