Liuba | Liuba Ting Old Street

| Liuba Ting Old Street. ◾️ Liuba Old Street is located in the north of Liuba County, with a total length of about 750 meters and a history of more than 200 years. It retains the original Qinba mountain style, with red lanterns, exquisite brick carvings, and ancient old street archways, making people feel like they are traveling through time and space. There are residential houses, specialty snack shops, book bars, inns, and other shops on both sides of the street, full of life.
◾️ Liuba Old Street is sandwiched between mountains on both the north and south sides, with the north being higher and the south lower, and the Zijin River running through the city. The location of Liuba County is very important, and it has always been a place of strategic importance in history. As early as the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms periods, there were post stations here. There are ruins of the Shu army camp from the Three Kingdoms period, and wars have never stopped here in history. Liuba County was once called Liuba Ting, so the old street is also called Liuba Ting Old Street. In the past, Ting may have been a special county-level administrative unit.
◾️ This old street, built in the 13th year of the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, allows you to walk on the bluestone road, visit small shops, taste local snacks, and enjoy the tranquility of time. Strolling on the quiet old street, time slows down, and you feel comfortable and free. Sun-drying autumn is a major feature of Liuba Old Street. Villagers use the space in front of and behind their houses, as well as their own windowsills and roofs, to dry or hang crops with bamboo trays, which has also become a background wall for tourists to take photos and a source of inspiration for photographers.
