Many people have heard the saying, "Yunguichuan is a family". The three provinces are geographically adjacent, with similar folk customs and dialects. If we want to talk about linking the three provinces together, not only the culture and customs are similar, but also the Chishui River. Chishui River is not as famous as many rivers in China, but it is a household name. Because at the beginning of the Red Army's Long March, there was a story of "crossing Chishui four times", and this story also inspired generations of young people.
Speaking of Yunguichuan, it is natural to leave Chishui River, because the origin of Chishui River is in Dougazhai Mountain, Changba Town, southwest of Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, passing through Guizhou and Sichuan, and finally joining the Yangtze River in Hejiang County, Sichuan Province, belonging to the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Chishui River is regarded as the border area of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. And this river also has a very beautiful name, called "Wine River". Because the place where Chishui River passes produces a lot of fine wines in China, I won't elaborate on them here. Because of the heroic deeds of Sidu Chishui, Chishui River also has the name of "Hero River".
In the middle of Chishui River, there is an ancient town worth talking about, that is, Bing 'an ancient town, which is known as one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou. The ancient town of Bing 'an is built by the water, and its geographical position is very special. It is the only way to connect all parts of central Guizhou. In the era of cold weapons, it can be regarded as a traffic fortress, which is contested by military strategists. When Sichuan Salt entered Guizhou, most merchants and caravans gathered in Bing 'an ancient town, and the Red Army's Long March also had many connections with Bing 'an ancient town. Therefore, Chishui River is now a famous historical and cultural town in Guizhou and an important area for red tourism.
Within the ancient town, there is a cliff stone carving, which is a masterpiece of the Republic of China. There are four characters of "benefit neighboring" on the tablet body, which can be regarded as an ancient town punching place. And the ancient stockade gate in Bing 'an Village has some ages and history. There are two zhaimen, Donghuamen and Taipingmen, which are located at the east and west ends of the ancient town, and are also good attractions in the ancient town. There is also the Red Army Memorial Hall in the ancient town. 1935 After the Zunyi Conference, the Red Army entered Chishui County and set its headquarters here. After liberation, the headquarters of the Red Army Corps became a classic tourist attraction of the national red tourism culture.
Among the ancient towns, there is the Huang Lian Temple, which was built in the Qing Dynasty. The Huang Lian Temple, with an area of 2 10 square meters, was rebuilt several times during the Daoguang period. Ping' an fiber track is also a good punching place. At that time, the fiber track was formed to transport materials. Nowadays, because of the age, some stone slabs are incomplete. Among the ancient towns are the ruins of Cao Buddhist Temple and Yu Palace. Caofo Temple was built in the Qing Dynasty. Now it has entered the ancient town, and some of its appearance can still be seen. Yu Palace was built in the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of 300 square meters.
Introduction of Bing 'an Ancient Town
Bing 'an Ancient Town is located in the south-central part of Chishui, bordering Hushi Town in the east. South is connected with Lianghekou Township; The boundary between the west and fuxing town; It is adjacent to Wanglong Town in the north, the Chishui River runs down by the bank, and the Xichi Highway passes through the territory from east to west, which is the only way for Chishui to connect all parts of central Guizhou. It is a famous historical and cultural village in China and a famous historical and cultural town in Guizhou Province, and 1 is listed as one of the national 100 red tourism classics. Bing 'an scenic spot centered on Bing 'an ancient town is one of the eight scenic spots in Chishui. Bing 'an ancient town has been a famous post station and commodity distribution center for Sichuan salt entering Guizhou since ancient times. It has been praised by experts and scholars as "the living fossil of Ming and Qing architecture and history" and has the reputation of "the ancient castle of military merchants for thousands of years".
Brief introduction of Zunyi tourist attractions
1, Chishui Waterfall Scenic Area: Located in Danxia landform area, it is the second largest waterfall in China. Entering the scenic spot, you can see Danxia landform, alpine waterfalls and bamboo sea along the way. Chishui Waterfall is the most spectacular at the bottom of the valley. In the middle of the scenic spot, there will be Zhongdong Waterfall, which many tourists will miss. Compared with Chishui Waterfall, Zhongdong Waterfall is not high, but it is more beautiful and enchanting. Small scenes such as waterfall viewing platform, Longines Bay, Flying Hongqiao, Doubtless Road, Fairy Stage and Dark Waterfall Stone also add color to the Waterfall Park.
2. Sidonggou: It consists of four waterfalls with different postures, which are distributed in the scenic area at roughly equal distance. The four waterfalls are all wonderful: the majestic water curtain cave Waterfall, the Moon Lake Waterfall with a silver comb, the Flying Frog Cliff Waterfall with the legend of Chang 'e and the largest Bailongtan Waterfall in the scenic area. There are beautiful peaks and beautiful mountains, lush forests in the mountains, rare plants under national first-class protection such as spiny ferns and small golden camellia everywhere, and magical Danxia wonders such as Shixiang Mountain and Duxian Bridge.
3. Bing 'an Ancient Town: One of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, 25 kilometers away from Chishui City. It is antique and red culture, and it is the first crossing place of the Red Army's four crossings of Chishui. There is an exhibition hall of the Red Army Corps in the ancient town, as well as the bedroom where Lin Biao lived. Surrounded by Chishui River on three sides, we can see that there are many diaojiao buildings supported by hundreds of logs along the river, which is very spectacular. There is only a narrow stone street in the town, about 400 meters long, which has been an important place for commodity trading in several surrounding villages since ancient times.
Is the ancient town of Bing 'an in Guizhou interesting?
Bing 'an Ancient Town is located in Chishui City, near Yunnan, Sichuan Province in the north of Guizhou Province. It is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou. It was once a dock of Chishui River and an important water post station. The Red Army's four crossings of Chishui also took place here. Because of the geographical remoteness and inconvenient transportation, the ancient town is quite intact and quaint. Although it is one of the four famous towns in Guizhou, it is also a famous historical and cultural town, and it is also one of the national 100 red tourism classics. However, Bing 'an ancient town is not well-known in the tourism industry, and there are not many tourists coming here for sightseeing. Only during the big holidays, tourists from Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and other surrounding areas will fill it up. On weekdays, there are few people going there, and it is a rare place to cultivate one's mind.
From a distance, the ancient town facing the mountains and water is built on a huge stone. The Chishui River roars under it, and the diaojiao building stretches for hundreds of meters along the river, which is very spectacular. During the rainy season, the green hills are surrounded by misty rain, which is very artistic. The town is small, the stone road twists and turns in the town, and red lanterns and oil-paper umbrellas are hung on both sides of the main street corridor, adding a festive atmosphere to the town. There is only a narrow stone street in the town, about 400 meters long, which has been an important place for commodity trading in several surrounding villages since ancient times. The business atmosphere here is not very strong either. There are all kinds of local specialties and handicrafts, and you can find Taobao shellfish here. Visitors who are interested in history can visit the exhibition hall of the Red Army Corps to learn about the history of the Red Army's Sidu Chishui.
Most of the ancient towns are still inhabited by aborigines, selling some self-produced agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts, and people are also very simple. There is a memorial hall for the Long March of the Red Army, which is worth visiting. There are two Zhaimen in the east and west, namely Taiping Gate and Donghuamen, and there is an iron cable bridge connected with the outside world. Sitting in a restaurant by the river for lunch and looking at the beautiful scenery across the river will greatly increase your appetite.
Visiting the ancient town of Bing 'an, Chishui, there are quite a few nine experiences before glad you came.
I have written many pictures and texts of the ancient town of Bing 'an in Chishui. Are you tired of reading them? It only takes 40 minutes for people and group tourists to visit the ancient town of Bing 'an, but I stayed in the ancient town for 4 days and 3 nights. Some netizens commented after the article that the palm-sized ancient town really doesn't know why you stayed for so long.
The best way to travel freely to Bing 'an Ancient Town is, of course, self-driving. Just follow the navigation. I started from the tourist coach station in Chishui, and took the special bus in Bing 'an Ancient Town, which took 40 minutes by car, which was very convenient. This Chishui tourist long-distance passenger station can solve almost all your transportation needs. Living next to the passenger station is a good choice to visit the major scenic spots around Chishui. When you arrive in the ancient town, you must do these nine things before you can go to glad you came.
Experience 1: Take the iron cable bridge over Chishui River. The iron cable suspension bridge in the ancient town is very special, with a cable-stayed wooden deck. This is the only way for tourists to enter the ancient town. Of course, self-driving tourists can bypass this iron cable bridge and bypass the Panshan Highway behind the ancient town, but it is not easy to park there. It is best to park your car in the Bing' an New District and walk across the iron cable bridge to visit the ancient town. What is being implemented now is the fare per person 10 yuan, and the ticket in hand is impressively written with 20 yuan, which must have a story. The iron cable bridge is unattended in the morning and evening and can enter and leave freely. If you want to experience the life in the ancient town and stay in the inn in the ancient town, then you should keep the tickets for inspection when you go in and out.
Take a panoramic view of the ancient town of Bing 'an on the Tiesuo Bridge. The ancient town is backed by green hills and surrounded by water on three sides. It is a miracle that the wooden hanging scaffold building is built on the mountain with masonry as the door and stone as the wall. After a hundred years of wind and frost, it is still as stable as a rock.
Experience 2: Appreciate the two ancient stockade gates built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the ancient town of Bing 'an, which are very distinctive. Bing 'anchang Town was built at a height of more than 0/0 meters away from the river beach/KLOC-0, and there are two well-preserved stone gates firmly guarding the east and west entrances of the town. Here is the Taiping Gate. The upper and lower stockade gates are 2. 1 m wide and 7 meters high, which are small and unique. Looking down the stone steps, the Zhaimen seems to be suspended in mid-air.
Another ancient village gate in the ancient town-Taiping Gate. Going downhill from Zhaimen to the west is a stone ladder with a total length of 63m. Each ladder is1.7m in length, 0.3m in width and 0.15m in height. On the right side, there is a stone guardrail with a height of 0.7m, which extends downwards in a stepped way to the ancient wharf.
Experience 3: Take a walk around Hulu Street, the only old street in Bing 'an Ancient Town. The street name of this street is Bing 'an Street. In fact, it also has a nice name called Hulu Street. Walking through the emergency exit, a narrow alley appeared in front of you, which was simply a "sight". After the corner, it suddenly became clear. This section of the road is 7 meters wide and 70 meters long. The total length of Hulu Street is1500m, and the whole street is like an upside-down gourd, which is named "Hulu Street".
Experience four, visit two memorial halls, which are the essence of red tourism in Bing 'an ancient town. There are two exhibition halls at the middle corner of Hulu Street mentioned above. The ancient town of Bing 'an is full of red legends. In 2005, the relevant state departments approved Bing 'an as a national red tourism classic and included it in the national red tourism boutique line. The memorial hall of Bing 'an Red Army Corps has become the only memorial hall of the Red Army Corps in China. What I prefer is the General Geng Biao Memorial Hall next door to the Red Army Corps, where I can slowly admire the legendary life of the old general.
Experience 5: Walk around Boat Trackers's Road outside Houzhai Gate. Walking along the stone steps of the ancient town Taiping Gate, there is a quaint Shuanglong Bridge. Shuanglong Bridge was built in the Qing Dynasty, which runs from east to west. There are two dragons in the middle, one female and one male, with their heads held high and flowing upward. The stone dragon and the pier are integrated, hence the name "Shuanglong Bridge".
Continue along the cliff stone carving, which is Ping 'an Fiber Road. The fiber road was built in the Qing Dynasty, running from east to west, from Shuanglong Bridge in the west to Xinbing 'an Bridge in the east. It is about 500 meters long and well preserved. The whole fiber path is paved with stone slabs of about 80× 40 cm. Due to the long age, the stone slabs are incomplete or broken, with rounded edges and corners.
Experience 6, visit a large collection of ancient towns. Bing' an ancient town has a big episode every lunar calendar, and some people say it is "catching up". Fair is the best way to experience the lifestyle of aborigines in northern Guizhou. In the collection of ancient towns, in addition to sightseeing, we also do the following things.
You must eat tofu pudding rice when you visit a big collection. There is a small shop in the ancient town that does not hang signs and only welcomes guests on the market day. The special tofu pudding rice is the most authentic, so you must try it. Eating tofu pudding rice is also very particular. First, spoon the tofu pudding into a spoon or rice bowl, then dip it in water with chopsticks, then swallow it with rice, and then take a sip of cellar water. You might as well try.
In addition to the special tofu pudding rice, her steamed vegetables are also good, only boiled white and ribs. I suggest you try both. Again, only on market day!
You must drink a bowl of tea when you visit a big collection. The men at the fair are all in large and small teahouses. It is a special teahouse with a small ancient town and no daily business. All of them temporarily put a few tables and benches in their living room on market day to temporarily serve as teahouses. The most touching thing is that the cup of tea here is 1 yuan 1 cup, which can be refilled indefinitely. You may wish to experience the comfort of the ancient town.
Experience seven, how can you not try "white water fish" when you come to Bing 'an ancient town! Chishui white water fish is boiled with wild qingbo fish in white water, and a small amount of cucumber slices are added with fragrance. Look at the menu, as well as tofu pudding fish and other practices. I think the real fresh and good fish, white water fish, can best reflect the delicious taste of fish. There are three small restaurants in the ancient town. The Wangji Whitewater Fish I went to is divided into three floors, the third floor on the old street of Guzhen, and two floors below. The bottom floor is the living space of my family, and the second floor is also a restaurant. Be sure to choose the location near the landscape window. Outside the window is the Pentium Chishui River, opposite the Bing 'an New District. White water fish is a little expensive, but it's definitely worth a taste!
Experience 8: Follow the footsteps of primary school students and visit General Geng Biao Red Army Primary School. The iron cable bridge goes down the path on the right hand side of the back eye of the bridge. Go 100 meters to the asphalt road in the new area, and you will find the Bing 'an School in Chishui City. On the other side, the plaque reads "General Geng Biao Red Army Primary School of Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army in Chishui, Guizhou". 20 16 On April 27th, Bing 'an School became the 229th Red Army Primary School in China, and it also had a new name: General Geng Biao Red Army Primary School. The most interesting thing is that I heard that the students' recess activities here are allegro and straw sandals. Is it interesting?
Experience nine, be sure to stay at the Diaojiaolou Inn in the ancient town for one night and experience the thrilling feeling. The picture above shows the Muyazi Diaojiaolou Inn where I live, and my room is marked in the picture. Below is the cliff, and the whole balcony and room are suspended. Is it exciting to stab?
Outside the Taiping Gate of the ancient town, it is the best place to enjoy the thrilling diaojiao building at close range in the ancient town. The ancestors of Bing 'an adopted the distinctive wooden frame stilt building technology. In the mountainous area with an inclination of about 60 degrees and more than 20 meters above the river bank, they skillfully used culverts and rock drilling columns, and used wood and stone building materials on the spot to build stilt buildings that hung more than 20 meters. "On a dangerous rock, supported by thousands of pillars" is the most vivid description of the ancient town.
After experiencing these nine things, do you still feel unsatisfied? You can also go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots. I followed the innkeeper to drive up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. In this season's bamboo forest, there are sharp bamboo shoots everywhere, which is not a rarity at all. We dug a pile in a short time and came back at noon to have a hearty meal of fresh bamboo shoots. Of course, I prefer bacon stewed with bamboo shoots. This needs the boss's "mercy", see fate!
If you are lively and active, you can also visit Fuxing Ancient Town. There is a shuttle bus to Fuxing Ancient Town at Tiesuo Bridge in Bing 'an Ancient Town, and the fare from 3 yuan is only 20 minutes away. Fuxing Ancient Town, also known as Fengyu City, is between Bing 'an Ancient Town and Chishui City, more than ten kilometers away from Bing 'an Ancient Town. Speaking of Fuxing ancient town, it is actually not big. A Chishui River tourist highway divides the ancient town into two parts, with an ancient street on one side and a new district on the other. The building has no characteristics. The comprehensive farmers' market in fuxing town is the "grand gathering" of the ancient town. The market meets the lunar calendar on February 25, 2008, which has a grand gathering with the ancient town of Bing 'an, echoing from afar. If you want to go, it is best to go to the market day and experience the customs of the ancient town in northern Guizhou.
After the big episode, visit the old street of Fuxing Ancient Town. The old street is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it is a great effort. However, the aborigines in the old street didn't pay much attention to the tourists, just lived their own lives leisurely. You can also sit down here and have a cup of tea and a bowl of tofu pudding rice. It's very comfortable. I really like this state. The development of ancient towns and streets must not be made into a "small commodity city" model.
In the ancient town of Bing 'an, you can do nothing but move a bamboo stool and bake the sun quietly outside. What we often see in the ancient town is that people get together in twos and threes after a meal, and Doby children have a chat, so time passes. For me, the comfortable fireworks in the ancient town of northern Guizhou is the place that attracts me the most.
In the comments before and after Japanese, a netizen said it well, and the ancient town that ignores tourists is the most real. Aborigines are the constant protagonists, and tourists from south to north are the supporting roles of flowing water. The appearance of tourism is to see the scenery, and the essence is the experience and integration of tourists. If the roles change one day, the ancient town will be boring.
