Jianshui Ancient City is located in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in south-central Yunnan Province. This is one of the most profound ancient cities in southern Yunnan. Built in Nanzhao period, it was originally called Huili City. Huili is an ancient Yi language, which means sea. The Chinese translation is "Jianshui".
The ancient city was originally a earthen city, and it was expanded into a brick city during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. After that, it was damaged and renovated several times. Only the East Gate Chaoyang Building has been preserved for more than 600 years. "Chaoyang Tower" is also a witness to the long history of Jianshui ancient city.
Seen from the map, this ancient city looks like the back of a turtle. Lin 'an Road passes through the city, and there are many alleys in the city. Hanlin Street and Beizheng Street are built in parallel, forming a layout extending in all directions. Between Lane and Lane, there are many historic sites with a history of hundreds of years, such as Zhujiajian Island Garden, Confucius Temple, Lin 'an Mansion, old houses and ancient wells.
If you love history, this is the best place to live. Walking in Jianshui ancient city, there is an illusion of crossing time and space, and there is an illusion of crossing the region, as if you came to Suzhou, which is picturesque and surrounded by antique old buildings.
Jianshui county used to be the place with the strongest style of study in Yunnan. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Lin 'an House School was founded here, which trained a large number of students. After that, students from Lin 'an Prefecture accounted for half of the top candidates in the imperial examinations in Yunnan, the highest in Yunnan. Jianshui has won the reputation of "Famous Literary State" and "Zou Lu in South Yunnan".
You may not believe that the third largest Confucian temple in China and the largest in Yunnan is hidden in Jianshui Ancient City. Jianshui Confucian Temple was founded in 1285. After 50 expansions and renovations, it covers an area of 1 14 mu, which is second only to Qufu Confucius Temple and Beijing Confucius Temple.
A large number of cultural relics have turned Jianshui into an ancient city shining with historical glory. After more than 600 years of accumulation, the local people have developed a calm attitude towards life. Every morning, the aunts and grandfathers in the ancient city come out one after another, walking birds, doing morning exercises, playing chess and singing, or gathering under the city wall or in front of the square, which is quite charming among the four ancient capitals.
Climatically, Jianshui is also an impeccable old-age resort. Located in the low latitude area, the Tropic of Cancer crosses the territory, with long illumination time and an average annual temperature of 20. It is true that there is no cold in winter and no heat in summer. The county is above1.300m, which is considered as a low altitude area in Yunnan.
65438+ 10 is the coldest month in Jianshui. The daily average maximum temperature hovers around 2 1℃, and it can reach 25℃ when the weather is good, and the minimum temperature is rarely lower than 10℃. Usually, you can spend the winter by wearing a coat. It should be noted that there are several cold waves in Jianshui every year, the highest temperature drops to single digits, and the lowest temperature approaches zero, but it will soon pass and have little impact on life.
Another advantage of Jianshui is its delicious food, which is almost the smokiest ancient city you can see. Street food, dazzling array of ingredients, and Jianshui people who love life have jointly interpreted the most grounded and prosperous world.
The local Lin 'an is famous for making tofu. Jianshui people have a long history of eating tofu. Tofu stalls in Qing dynasty were all over the streets, with various methods and excellent taste. It is said that Changsha stinky tofu is a must, but Jianshui stinky tofu is actually better.
Grass bud is the characteristic of Jianshui. It looks like a long bamboo shoot. It is white and tender. Can be fried, can be cooked, and can be eaten with rice noodles. Grass bud rice noodles are the favorite of local people and are usually used for breakfast. Sweet and charming.
Of course, there is also steamed chicken, which is a famous dish listed in China Famous Cuisine, and it is also available at state banquets. Chicken made of local chicken and purple pottery unique to Jianshui is simply delicious and is a good tonic in winter. Jianshui purple pottery is very famous, and it can't be bought anywhere else, so if you visit the ancient city, it is strongly recommended to take one home.
Jianshui, as a small county, has its own high-speed railway station, which makes up for the traffic defects. It takes only two hours to take the high-speed train from Kunming to Jianshui, and it has successfully entered the "two-hour economic circle" in Kunming. From Jianshui to Yuxi, the high-speed train takes only 54 minutes at the earliest. Yuxi's medical level is also high in Yunnan, which is convenient for the elderly who need to check the doctor frequently.
Another advantage of building water for the elderly is that the price is low and the cost of living here is not high. For example, a bowl of grass bud rice noodles 10 yuan, ordinary rice noodles 8 yuan, and a bowl of tofu flower 5 yuan. You can have a good meal in a restaurant for tens of dollars, and you don't have to cook by yourself at all.
Jianshui's current house price is between 5000 yuan and 6000 yuan. If you are coming to support the elderly, it is recommended to rent a house. There are many residential areas for rent in the city, which are basically rented from one year. Between 300-500 yuan with two bedrooms and one living room, it won't cost much a year.
You can spend the winter or stay here for a while with your wife or friends, visit the ancient city, enjoy the surrounding beautiful scenery and live a fairy-like life.
With profound background, slow pace and excellent climate, do you like this ancient water city? Are you here for old age or winter?
