ancient town of Jiaguan, which was surprising all the way
, was not originally in our plan, but we just passed by on the road and thought this place was quite interesting.
I parked the car on the side of the road, went in and took a look and found that it was really a good place.
This is the taste that the ancient town should have, and few tourists stop here.
After checking the information, I found that Jiaguan Ancient Town has a history of more than 2,300 years and is one of the three ancient towns in the history of Qionglai. It is also the most important post station on the ancient tea horse road.
There are many ancient buildings of the Minqing Dynasty in the town, such as the ruins of the Qin and Han dynasties, the ruins of iron smelting in the Han Dynasty, the ancient bridge stele, the stone archway, the Xiangya Temple, etc...... It is an important historical and cultural town in western Sichuan.
It is still an ancient town that has not been commercialized at all, and the town is inhabited by its residents.
Walk on the ancient stone bridge and enjoy the scenery of the water town; stroll through the ancient streets and feel the breath of life in the city; You can also wander in the Shili Tea Mountain, breathe fresh air, and experience the fun of tea picking.
In Qionglai, the most common snack is milk soup noodles.
milk noodle soup is made from fresh pork bones, pig's trotters, brain flowers, fragrant elbows, and local chicken stewed into a fragrant, white soup like milk, plus cooked noodles, and served with condiments. Slippery but not greasy, not tired of eating for a long time, suitable for all ages, it can be called a unique Qionglai.
Dairy noodle soup must be served with bowl chicken and kimchi to be a perfect meal.
Bowl chicken has a history of hundreds of years since the Qing Dynasty, and is made of pottery bowls with red oil and sea peppers, plus a variety of seasonings of boneless chicken slices, duck feet, duck wings, etc., with crispy skin and tender meat, spicy and fragrant.
When I was checking out, I was shocked by the price list hanging at the door, and I repeatedly confirmed with the boss that this was the price at this time?
I haven't eaten such cheap noodles in Chengdu for more than 10 years.
When I passed by the stone bridge, I found a basket of such a thing, and I don't know what it is, does anyone know?
Pingle Ancient Town
"Pingle" A place that makes you want to come as soon as you hear the name.
The transportation is also particularly convenient, only 93 kilometers away from Chengdu, with direct high-speed access.
Pingle Ancient Town is known for its quaint neighborhoods and original and simple folk customs of western Sichuan.
In the ancient town area, you can enjoy the ancient charm and tranquility that has been lost for a long time outside the city. Eliminating the impetuousness of modern civilization, seeing the mountains and rivers, flowers and plants full of aura, what you have is to let go of your mind, forget your worries, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and let time go back ......
Pingle Ancient Town, known as "Pingluo" in ancient times, during the prehistoric Shu King Enlightened Clan, the small green basin surrounded by mountains was named after the settlement of water conservancy and agriculture and sericulture. According to the "Book of Shangshu Yugong", Dayu controlled the water, "Cai Meng Luping, and Yi Diji." The Baimo River passing through the town is divided into "inner river" and "outer river" with flying sand weirs, forming a unique pattern of one river divided into three waters. By 150 BC, a market town had been formed during the Western Han Dynasty and had a history of more than 2,000 years.
In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD), Huojing County was located in Pingluo for more than 200 years, and after the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to Qiongzhou Zhili Prefecture, and in the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940 AD), Pingluo Township was established, and this name was used after the founding of New China. In 1950, the town and township were separated, and in April 1983, the township was withdrawn to establish a township, called Pingluo Town, and the township management village system was implemented, and in March 1993, it was renamed Pingle Town, and in September 2004, Qionglai City implemented zoning adjustment, abolished the establishment of Xiaba Township adjacent to Pingle, and merged the administrative area of the original Xiaba Township into Pingle Town, collectively known as Pingle Town.
Pingle has become "the first town of the ancient tea horse road and the first post station of the Southern Silk Road" since ancient times, and in today's Pingle, we can still see the footprints of history - Nine ancients: ancient streets, ancient temples, ancient bridges, ancient trees, ancient weirs, ancient workshops, ancient roads, ancient styles, ancient songs.
Pingle Ancient Town retains the ancient houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and most of the houses on both sides of the ancient street are wooden buildings on the first floor and one bottom, generally for the lower floor as pavement, and the upper floor as a living room, reflecting the richness Western Sichuan style.
The ancient bridge of the ancient town
, Leshan Bridge, was built in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty and was funded by the township sages Zhou Tongxuan, Zhang Dabin and others. It took seven years to quarry and ten years to complete. The bridge is divided into seven holes, peach-shaped, with a total length of 120 meters, a height of 16.6 meters, and a width of 10 meters, making it the largest existing ancient stone arch bridge in Sichuan.
Ancient Street:
Pingle Town has a long history, was once the seat of Huojing County, and was an important water and land artery and business port in ancient times, forming a different from other western Sichuan The architectural style and block style of the ancient town.As an important material distribution center and water and land terminal in western Sichuan, in order to facilitate the loading, unloading and trading of goods, the main feature of the block is to build along the river, and its pattern is fishbone-shaped. 33 streets are of different lengths and curvatures, and most of the street intersection nodes are wharves. In order to facilitate buying and selling and home, the buildings along the street are all upper houses and lower stores, generally two-storey, with wooden bucket structures, green tiles and wooden eaves, and high and low. There are 235,400 square meters of existing Ming and Qing buildings, and there are 22 streets that maintain the style of ancient streets in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and their scale and style are the highest in Western Shu.
On the ancient street, you can also taste the most authentic Sichuan snacks.
Qionglai's three famous snacks, milk soup noodles, bowl chicken, and hair and blood, can be found on any street in the ancient town.
In summer, it is the favorite place for Chengdu people to play in the water, and it is slightly cleaner in winter.
A food street in the ancient town, both sides are full of all kinds of Qionglai food.
that Tiehua Lane
also has an Internet celebrity alley.
This alley is called "Tiehua Alley", and the graffiti on the streets suddenly reminds me of the "Penang" I have been to.
It must be mentioned that this was once the place where the richest man in the country "struggled".
In the history of Qionglai and even the whole country, there is a strong stroke.
1 main lane of Tiehua Lane, 570 meters long; 12 branch lanes, 1290 meters long;
With a total length of 1,860 meters, it is surrounded by four streets: Tianqing Street, Qixing Street, Garden Lane, and South Ring Road, which was originally a large field dam, because the ground was covered with many solidified slag of ironmaking remains, which was called the iron dam by the Qionglai people. I don't know what year or month people have elegantly changed the name of iron to iron flower.
These slag iron dungs (iron flowers) are not trivial, they have a history of more than 2,000 years, related to Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, and record Qionglai A period of glory in history.
According to historical records, the Zhuo clan of Zhao State was an iron smelting family, and when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Zhuo Wenjun's grandfathers moved to Linqiong, Shu County. In addition to being rich in iron ore resources, the Linqiong area is also rich in iron ore resources. It is guarded at the gateway of the Southern Silk Road and has a very advantageous geographical location. In the early Han Dynasty, Zhuo Wangsun recruited the poor to mine iron ore with cheap food, smelted pig iron, cast iron tools, and used it for the production and life of the Shu people and ethnic minorities in the southwest. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the government has set up iron officials in Linqiong, and the ancient city of Linqiong has become the "five iron cities" of the Han and Tang dynasties.
According to modern archaeology, the area around the current Tiehua Lane is most likely one of the large-scale iron smelting bases of Zhuo Wangsun. Those iron dung or iron flowers are the slag left over from ironmaking at that time. Archaeological reports say that the iron slag covers an area of 500,000 square meters and is 30 centimeters thick. This is equivalent to the size of 70 football fields.
For thousands of years, the scenery of Tiehua Lane and the name of Tiehua Lane have conveyed more than 2,000 years of historical events, making the ancient city of Linqiong famous in ancient and modern times. As a historical site of Zhuo Wang Sun Yiron, Tiehua Lane is an important cultural and geographical coordinate to display the culture and industrial grandeur of ancient Linqiong Han, witnessing the prosperity of ancient Linqiong, is an important part of Wenjun culture, and is a key area to show the material and cultural heritage of a famous cultural city.
The current Tiehua Alley, in addition to inheriting the culture of Qionglai, has now become a famous food street in Qionglai.
Although I am already an Internet celebrity, the price here is still very affordable.
The wine culture of Qionglai, a Chinese wine village - Daliang Winery
, has a long history and has been known as a "wine town" since ancient times.
When you come to Qionglai, how can you not go to the wine village to experience its wine culture?
Therefore, we chose such a winery for our stay in Qionglai this time.
"Daliang Winery" is a style tourism village with the theme of wine culture and leisure experience, where not only vividly reproduces the wine people and wine events, but also goes to the Daliang Shaofang and the winemaker to personally participate in the whole process of winemaking according to the century-old method, and can also hold a can of self-brewed liquor stored in the cave, and open the can to drink after three or five years to feel the different charm of "Jizo Old Wine".
The hotel of Daliang Winery is also unique,
each room is like a wine barrel, and there is also a vegetable field in the yard with various vegetables.
We stayed in a standard room with a large size.
There is wine in the room, but you need to pay extra.
Wine Culture Square regularly performs classic plays related to wine people and wine affairs on the "Daliang Old Theater", which fully interprets the breadth and depth of wine culture.
Walking into the winery gives you a sense of travel, especially when you see the cauldron in the middle of the square, it feels like you have returned to the Sengoku period.
In addition to where we live, Daliang Winery also has several characteristic homestays, and the style is different.
The name of this house is "Xinsu".
The decorations inside are all decorated with old objects from Tao.
Every item tells a story of history.
The winery's cave wine is very spectacular, and the appearance may not seem like anything, but when you walk in, you will find that there is a "unique cave sky".
It is all such neat rows of cave wine.
Some of them have been drinking for a long time, and they can no longer see the color of the jar.
In the workshop of Daliang Winery, you can also see the workers making sorghum wine on the spot.
This is how sorghum wine came out.
The Nine Dynasties Hall is based on the 5,000-year history of China, with 13 private rooms, including Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Han, Tang, Qing, etc.
Each dynasty presents the history and culture of that era. In the Han Dynasty private room, let you travel to the Han Dynasty, and the maid in Hanfu cooks and warms wine for you. The guests knelt on the futon, drank tea on the table, and experienced the etiquette and eating style of the Han Dynasty.
In the private room of the Yuan Dynasty, it is like arriving at the Khan's tent, where a Mongolian girl offers you a corbel and roast lamb; In the Qing Dynasty private room, the Qing palace style and grid costumes, coupled with the classical music performance of the dynasty to which it belonged, it was really a beautiful time and space shuttle.
Tiantai Mountain
stayed at Daliang Winery for one night, and we went straight to Tiantai Mountain the next day.
From Daliang Winery to Tiantai Mountain, there is only a distance of more than 50 kilometers, and you can get there without taking the highway.
This is also the off-season for Tiantai Mountain, and the tickets are also very cheap, only 29/person.
Then there is no need to take the sightseeing bus of the scenic spot, and the self-driving car can also drive directly into the scenic spot, but it needs to charge a parking fee of 20 yuan.
are very few tourists who come to Tiantai Mountain in the off-season, and there are almost no people in many attractions and shops along the way. I saw a stone with a unique shape, and when I got off the bus, I found that this was also an observation deck, and that stone was the "Inverted Boot Stone". The
inverted boot stone rises 200 meters from the ground, more than 20 meters wide, towering majestically and pointing straight to the blue sky. Resembles an upside-down boot.
Legend has it that the barefoot immortal went to the peach party of the Queen Mother and lost his boots here after getting drunk.
About 30 minutes by car, we arrived at the terminal of Tiantai Mountain - Zhengtiantai.
This is also a large parking lot, and if you take the sightseeing bus Hua, you can also get off here. The
road behind you needs to be reached on foot.
There are many farmhouses on the rooftop that are still open, and you can stay and eat.
And in this season of winter, the price is also very touching.
When we passed by, we happened to meet them grilling chicken, which was also ordered by the guests, and after visiting the attractions inside, we could eat it when we came out.
Leiyin Temple is the first attraction of Zhengtiantai and is a very quaint temple.
"Since ancient times, there have been many monks in famous mountains, and the scenery belongs to monks"
Leiyin Temple was originally a Taoist temple in the Han Dynasty, and gradually changed to a Buddhist temple after the Tang Dynasty.
It was destroyed by war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and to this day, we can still infer the grandeur of that year from the ruins.
Now during the epidemic, the temple is not open to the public, so you can only take pictures outside.
As can be seen from the stone lion at the entrance, the temple has a long history.
A long corridor outside the temple became Monk Street.
It is conceivable that when Buddhism was prevalent, the glorious scene here.
On both sides of Monk Street, it is the season to watch fireflies in summer.
Because it is close to the river, the air quality is also very good, so it has become a favorite habitat for fireflies.
high-altitude plank road in the primeval forest
Can you imagine what it feels like to be high in the forest?
This project, which was very popular in Australia before, can now be realized in Tiantai Mountain.
end of November is the camellia season, and at this time you can often see camellias in full bloom on the roadside when you go to Tiantai Mountain.
When you see the waterfall, it means that you have arrived at the core attraction of Tiantai Mountain - Eighteen Mile Herb Gully.
It is almost impossible to take a picture of no one here in summer.
Coming here in winter is like a private place.
If you want to enter Shibali Herb Gully, there is only one way to enter by taking this bamboo raft. (Bamboo raft 20/person, round trip)
Because there are no tourists in winter, the boatman will not always wait for us here.
The boatman said that when you come back, ring the bell here a few times, and then he will come to pick us up.
This is not bad, experience the most primitive communication method.
Eighteen Mile Vanilla Gully is a long and narrow ravine. Because the herbs here are dense, and most of them are soaked in water, it has the reputation of herb ditch.
At the same time, the ditch is also the most popular water play place in Tiantai Mountain in summer.
In summer, you can experience eighteen water sports such as water swings, mother and child wooden boats, dragon arch cars, water ladder climbing, and waterfall climbing.
However, it is still recommended not to play in the water in winter, it is really too cold to fall.
The Bailong Creek, which flows in the Eighteen Mile Herb Gully, originates from the primeval forest at an altitude of more than 1,800 meters, is a tributary of the Jinlong River, and joins the Jinlong River above the "Upper Rooftop" platform.
Tiantai The widest river beach on the mountain, Butterfly Beach, is formed from here.
Every summer and autumn, there are always a large number of butterflies flying around the butterfly beach and lingering. This also constitutes a spectacle before entering the ditch.
The waterfall of Tiantai Mountain is also the most beautiful scene, but the water flow is not large in winter, but it is really beautiful in summer.
This is the legendary water swing.
On the way back, there were fewer people in the scenic spot.
The lake is very quiet, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water.
The pink camellia also bloomed.
It's really beautiful.
Qionglai in the off-season, does it have a different flavor?
Especially when the sun is better, whether it is on the stone bridge by the river in the ancient town or in the primeval forest of Tiantai Mountain, listening to the gurgling water.
When we are tired of city life, we might as well drive out and visit these treasures around Chengdu.
