The old street of Mining Mine is now like this!

Xieyuan, perhaps should not be called an ancient town.

Although, many people are accustomed to calling this an ancient town.

Although, the old street of Xieyuan is really a bit calm like the wind and cloud, and a bit quiet like Feng Guo Wuhen.

Not to mention the antique charm, the accumulation of time can be seen at a glance.

However, after all, it was not until the late Qing Dynasty that such a town existed.

After more than 100 years, even if not compared to Chengdu, but only compared to Dayi County, it is still ridiculously young.

Is it called Xieyuan Shanfang?

Although it is still a bit far to reach Xiling Snow Mountain, it is already past Heming Mountain.

It's only a few steps across from Huashuiwan Hot Spring.

In the Chengdu Plain, in Dayi County, this is a typical mountainous area.

We can't call it a "mountain city", but can we call it a "mountain house"?

The road from Dayi to Xiling Snow Mountain turns along the mountain and passes through the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain.

At the bottom of the highway is the old street of Xieyuan.

The stone-paved street, with cars and people passing by, has been somewhat smoothed by the feet of time.

The streets have some twists and turns, not to mention ups and downs.

In the curved and undulating folds, there are courtyards, deep or shallow, staggered in height, or blocks of buildings like blocks.

Further down the slope and towards the river, elegant new residential buildings rise next to the water.

Regardless of the height or style of the houses, they are always placed close to the foot of the mountain and along the slope of the mountain.

When you open the door, you step onto the mountain; when you push the window, you see the mountain scenery; when you sit on the balcony, drinking tea or reading a book, the light of the mountains and the shadows of the trees come uninvited, and you are always in the embrace of the mountains.

It is the same everywhere when doing business, at home, in the office, or when traveling.

It is called "Xieyuan Shanfang" for no reason.

How about calling it "Water Street"?

The water streets in the mountains are very interesting.

Xieyuan, water is called "source".

The Xiejian River flows through the foot of Xieyuan, and there are water-view houses scattered along the river.

Where the water surface is wide, the cofferdam becomes a small lake.

In summer, if you like coolness, you can do somersaults in the water.

The water is narrow, just at the foot of the town, giving it the appearance of a canyon cliff.

There are big and small bridges, and there are specially landscaped pavilions and waterside pavilions.

Along the river, wherever you stand, you can see the scenery.

Tourists looking at the mountains and rivers every day have also become a kind of waterscape.

Of course, calling it "Xieyuan Mining Area" should be the most appropriate.

This was originally a mining area.

After the discovery of coal mines in the Qing Dynasty, there were as many as 46 mines at their peak!

4 kilometers out of the town, Jiangyuan Village was the coal mining area.

It is said that Xieyuan was originally designed to provide living facilities for coal mines.

Coal was once the largest resource here.

Another resource is the mountain of medicinal herbs.

There is a "Medicine Buddha Square" in the town, where you can experience the herbal culture.

The coal mine has been closed for more than 10 years.

Without this greatest resource, what else can the town do?

No one thought that the small town could still live like this, and now it can live like this.

Coal mines are still resources that are being developed and utilized.

However, it is developed as a tourist element for people to visit, take photos and reflect on the ancient times.

The replicas of the mine mouths, the mine car tracks, and the flower beds transformed from the mine cars have all become street sketches and backgrounds and props for tourists to take photos.

Just like those from Chinese herbal medicine.

Like those all over town.

They are all put to new use in the implementation of cultural creativity.

The creation of a "cultural and creative town" and a "first-class enjoyment town" has allowed Xieyuan's resources to be developed in a new round, and the town has become a cultural and creative mining area.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to call it "Xieyuan Mining Area".
