Liujiang Ancient Town is located on both sides of Liujiang River, a tributary of Huaxi River, 35 kilometers southwest of Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province. It was historically known as "Mingyue Town". It was founded in the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1140).

The two clansmen of the Jiang surname jointly built a long stone street and renamed it "Liu Jiangchang". In 1780, it was named "Liujiangchang". It has been abandoned and rebuilt repeatedly in the past dynasties.

1. Liujiang Ancient Town Tourist Attractions: 1. Old Street: Liujiang Ancient Town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. Separated from the modern buildings by the water are the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty buildings in Liujiang Ancient Town.

The quaint wooden houses on stilts rest on the ancient yellow Ge trees with intertwined branches. At the end of half the street of the wooden houses, there is a long stone street connected to it. There is not a word on it, which is very romantic and reflects the vicissitudes of the street.

The rivers that Liujiang Town relies on are not called Liujiang, but Huaxi River and Yangcun River.

Two rivers converge in Liujiang Town, and there is a small island in the Yangcun River.

It was originally a lawn, but around 1988 it was gradually turned into a cultural station by residents on the street.

There are residential houses hidden among the green trees on the island, which is quite poetic and picturesque.

It is said that the island was bought and settled by a painter in his early years. People can't help but admire the painter's vision.

2. Ancient trees: There are always many ancient trees in ancient towns.

In Liujiang Ancient Town, there are not only many huge ancient Huang Ge and Maliu trees, but also a Huang Jue orchid that is said to be 200 years old.

The old yellow orchids are tens of meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and the fragrance of flowers is astonishing.

What's more surprising is that there is a strange tree in Zeng's courtyard across the wall from this yellow orchid. The tree is covered with long and thin fruits like cowpeas.

3. Old house: The courtyard with the "cowpea tree" is called the Zeng family courtyard.

In the history of Liujiang, there were four major families: Zeng, Zhang, Yang and He. It is said among the people that "the house of the Zeng family, the head of the Yang family, the girls of the Zhang family, and the millet of the He family".

Zengjiayuan is the only relatively well-preserved family manor today.

According to research, it was built in 10 years from 1927 to 1937 by Zeng Yicheng, a descendant of the Zeng family. It originally occupied an area of ??11,621 square meters and had a total construction area of ??5,402 square meters. It was a "four courtyards and three stages" layout, with four courtyards, three stages, and a courtyard.

There are observation decks, eight-character gantry, lady building, study room, stone archway, peony garden, lychee garden and leisure pavilion, which fully demonstrate the former luxurious style of the owner of the courtyard.

What's even more peculiar is that the bird's eye view of this house is the Chinese character "Shou" written in traditional Chinese.

It is said that the owner of the Zeng Family Courtyard at that time, in pursuit of conforming to the stroke layout of the character "Shou", built the outer walls or buildings in a rather unique way, especially the row of buildings facing the river, which were built like sawtooths, twisting and turning.

The strange and unique shape also shows the designer's unique wisdom and meticulous thinking.

The entire courtyard is decorated with Western architectural patterns, carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent. It is a model of modern Chinese and Western architecture. The Zeng Family Courtyard has therefore become the most dazzling scene in Liujiang Ancient Town.

Visiting Zengjiayuan is free. When you walk into the courtyard, Sichuan Opera is still being performed on the stage, attracting many tourists.

Farmhouses should be carefully selected, and the facilities should be no less than those of large-scale units or guest rooms of travel companies.

Tourists who like the waterfront can choose the farmhouses close to the river, which are slightly more expensive; tourists who like quietness can choose the farmhouses behind the pedestrian street and Yuping Street; tourists who like convenient parking can choose the side of the town road behind Yuping Street and the old street.

3. Don’t “follow the herd” in consumption.

Since most tourists are visiting Liujiang for the first time and do not know the local tourism service units clearly, they will naturally have the mentality of "following the herd" and crowd in wherever there are many people.

The owner of a restaurant told reporters that during lunch time, if there is a table of customers before 12:00, the business will definitely be good throughout the whole noon. This is because when later tourists see someone consuming, they subconsciously eliminate their distrust of the service unit.

psychology.

The same goes for accommodation. When I see a lot of cars outside, I squeeze in.

Among the service units in Liujiang, except for the ones that opened earlier, the business of units that later joined the tourism reception business was unstable.

The key reason is that many of their services are not known to outside tourists.

Therefore, tourists should visit more stores, look more, ask more questions, and then decide which store to spend money in after having certain basic information.
