I recommend Shuimo Ancient Town, which has fewer people during normal holidays, but has more places to play, and is suitable for all kinds of people such as parents and children, couples, and the elderly.

Shuimo Ancient Town is about 100 kilometers away from Chengdu and can be reached in less than two hours by car.

There are many traditional cultural buildings in this ancient town, and it also contains Qiang special attractions, which are integrated and very distinctive.

For example, there are old theaters with a history of more than a hundred years, Qiang village houses, etc.

There are also many special delicacies in the town, such as skewered bacon, roasted Tibetan pig, pickled cabbage and tofu, spicy mixed native chicken, etc., which are absolutely mouth-watering.

I have traveled a lot about ancient towns in Sichuan, and there are so many places I like. I would recommend each one to everyone. Due to the word limit, it would not be complete. I would rather introduce one place at a time. Maybe, you read

The impression will be more profound.

Here I will introduce an ancient town that can be visited in a day: Anren Ancient Town.

The number of people who know Anren Ancient Town is probably far less than the number of people who have heard of the great landowner Liu Wencai.

This is due to the text "Rent Collection Courtyard" written in the second grade of primary school 38 years ago. Liu Wencai in the text is a bully landlord in the evil old society who eats people without spitting out their bones. Those born in the 1960s and 1970s all remember this

The bad guy you read in the textbook.

Liu Wencai lives in Anren Ancient Town, Dayi County, Sichuan.

In fact, he died before the liberation of New China. In fact, it was not Liu Wencai who had more blood on his hands than him in Anren, but the two great men of the same Liu family: Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui.

The three strongest Liu clans have different fates and endings.

We listened to the advice of the staff at the ticket window, Liu’s Manor, Liu Wenhui’s Mansion, and Shuren Street on Republic of China Old Street. We had to start with Liu Wenhui’s Mansion.

Today, the Liu Wenhui Mansion is one of the open sightseeing projects in Anren Ancient Town. Even on hot days, it is still full of tourists.

Liu Wenhui's mansion, located in Min'an Village, Anren, has two gates. The door has a carved design that combines Chinese and Western styles. It is tall and majestic. In the middle of the lintel, there are four characters written in the middle of the door: "Luxury in Harmony" and "Advance in Morality and Career", which are written by the owner to express his ambition.

Traditional literati style.

Today's mansion is used as an exhibition hall of Liu Wenhui's former residence. Therefore, after entering from the long corridor, the mansion of more than 8,000 square meters is divided into two independent courtyards with three entrances in the north and south. It is a traditional residential building in Western Sichuan.

Some of the 160 rooms inside are used as exhibition rooms, with themes such as "Xikang Customs", "Sichuan Warlords' Melee", and "Active Support for the Anti-Japanese War", displaying relevant historical pictures, texts and objects.

Liu's Manor is now known as the "Exquisite Architectural Culture of Western Sichuan", covering an area of ??more than 70,000 square meters, with a construction area of ??more than 20,000 square meters and more than 350 rooms.

In 1932, Liu Wencai relied on the power of his younger brother Liu Wenhui to plunder property and build this large-scale manor for himself, becoming one of the few large landowner manors in Sichuan and even in China.

The gardens and courtyards overlap with each other, with complex layout and clear divisions.

There are three gardens in the manor, which are divided into hall, living room, reception room, accounting room, embroidery building, labor courtyard, rent collection courtyard, granary, secret treasury, water prison and Buddhist hall, moon watch platform, Xiaoyao Palace, garden, orchard, etc.

It is said that the water prison was actually a warehouse where opium and tobacco were stored.

The old streets of Anren Ancient Town are Shuren Street, Hongxing Street and Yumin Street.

Anhuili, located between Liu's Manor and Liu Wenhui's Mansion, is also worth a visit.

This pedestrian street is quite interesting like the Jinli Old Street in Chengdu. Between the two pedestrian shops, there are small bridges and flowing water, tree shades, birdsong, and flowers and plants. It has the obvious style of an ancient town in Western Sichuan, but the commercial atmosphere also overwhelms the humanistic charm.

.

I ordered a bowl of cold cake here. The rice cake is made with brown sugar water. It is chilled before eating. It has a cool, smooth and sweet texture. This is our favorite snack in Western Sichuan.

At night, on Daxin Street, there are brightly lit shops, including Youxuewang, Yellow Chicken, Stone-ground Bean Curd, Wencai Spare Ribs, and Manor Fish Shreds. Probably all the snacks in Qigu Town are gathered on this street, right?

Shuren Street and Yumin Street, where old mansions gather, are dry streets.

Around this street, there are more than a dozen mansions from the Republic of China period. Along the street, there are houses, commercial streets, schools, and teahouses built with the Liu family as the core. The street stones under people’s feet and the buildings they see are everywhere.

They are carved beams and painted buildings from the 1930s and 1940s, with blue bricks and tiles. Behind those mansion buildings, there are wonderful stories, hiding the unspeakable mysterious truth of history.

Such an ancient town with history, culture, architecture and stories is worth a visit, stay and experience slowly.
