Qianjiang, a small town in the southeast of Chongqing, has a very deep weight in my heart. After leaving the ivory tower, I spent three very important years in this canyon city. The landscape, flowers and personnel here are lingering thoughts. Sometimes what fascinates people is not feelings and memories, but an unforgettable fragrance, such as acacia trees on the streets in May and Gui Xiang in August. Believe it or not, every memory must have a taste to keep it fresh in your mind. For me, Qianjiang is acacia in May and osmanthus in August. Today, I want to share my trip to Qianjiang during the May Day holiday with you.
Qianjiang River is known as the "throat of Chongqing and Hubei". Although it is far from the main city of Chongqing, the transportation network is developed, and it is convenient to choose cars, planes and trains to travel.
traffic
Car: 4 km bus hub station/Longtousi bus station.
Train: Chongqing North-Qianjiang, with many flights, you can choose from morning till night.
Plane: Wulingshan Airport is small in scale and there are not many routes. Please check where to go and Ctrip. For details, please visit.
Go on road trip: It is about 248 kilometers from Banan Toll Station in Chongqing to Qianjiang main city, and it takes three and a half hours by car along Baomao Expressway. There are many tunnels, and friends in plain areas may not be used to them. But this is also a major feature of Chongqing.
Masterpiece under karst landform, there are many tunnels here, and the tunnels are deep and long, which is also an insight!
I made reasonable arrangements for the small holiday of 5 1. On the evening of 30th, I rushed back to my hometown-Yushan Ancient Town overnight. My hometown is also a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and fragrant air. When I calm down, I will take time to take photos and write articles to record the beauty of Yushan, a thousand-year-old town.
The point is to talk about Qianjiang. To tell the truth, there are many places to stop and play in Qianjiang. Couples can spend an afternoon in the sun and play cards on the mountain. Have a farmhouse meal in Happy Valley, rub a small mahjong on the sun dam in the yard, or go fishing and enjoy flowers on the Zhongyuan Mountain in Shi Hui, and life will be better.
Zhuoshui Ancient Town Fengyulang Bridge
Zhuoshui Ancient Town is located in the southeast corner of Qianjiang District, beside the Tang Yan River, the main tributary of Wujiang River. Its main residents are Tujia and Miao. The ancient town of Zhuoshui is 26 kilometers away from the main urban area of Qianjiang, and Huai Yu Railway, Yuxiang Expressway and 3 19 National Road all pass through here, so the traffic is very convenient.
It is understood that the ancient town of Zhuoshui was originally named "Baiheba", which was under the jurisdiction of Youyang Tusi in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Its important commercial geographical location has been an important post station and commercial port since ancient times. Since the late Qing Dynasty, it has become the only way for the post road, the commercial road and the salt road in southeast Sichuan. In 24 years of the Republic of China, people called Zhuoshui "Zhuohe Dam", which has become an important market town with merchants and shops. The increasingly developed commercial trade has rapidly promoted the exchange of materials between the local and the outside world, creating the most prosperous history. It even lived above Qianjiang County in the same period, and was called "the three famous towns of Youyang" together with Longtan and Gongtan in Youyang. PS: Zhuoshui belongs to Qianjiang, Qianjiang and Qianjiang.
(Daily Wind and Rain Covered Bridge)
(Snow-covered wind and rain covered bridges)
Zhuoshui ancient town is the focus of Qianjiang tourism. During my three years in Qianjiang, Zhuo Shui was also a place I often went to. The biggest scenery here is the wind and rain covered bridge, which is 303 meters long and 5 meters wide and has been renamed Canglang Bridge. In fact, the fame of this stormy covered bridge is attributed to a sudden fire on1October 28th. The majestic covered bridge burned down overnight. After the news came out, there was a lot of regret on the Internet.
Now Canglang Bridge is a covered bridge for restoration and reconstruction. Although it is equally magnificent, some things are really gone forever, even the best one is not what it used to be. Therefore, if you want to see the scenery, you should travel now. If you like it, you should bravely tell him that time is really useless.
The Fengshui Covered Bridge in the ancient town of Zhuoshui is a pure wooden structure, and the building materials are connected by tenons and mortises, with straight sleeves and oblique penetration, and the structure is firm and precise. There is a three-story tower pavilion on the bridge, with about 100 carved wooden windows, which can be opened and closed freely on both sides, and red painted benches are placed in the bridge.
The ancient town of Zhuoshui, surrounded by mountains, is a rare Tujia water town in Wuling Mountain area. It is a thousand-year-old town integrating Tujia Diaojiaolou community, water transport terminal and commercial market town. History has left many cultural monuments and local cultural heritages for the ancient town of Zhuoshui. Bachu culture, Tujia culture, Daxi culture and Huaxia civilization are intertwined here, forming the unique folk customs and ethnic cultural customs of the ancient town of Zhuoshui, attracting many tourists.
(local mung bean powder)
(rolling horse)
When it comes to food, the most famous local products are mung bean powder and horse roll, which are not expensive. Go eat! Anyway, I can't eat much, and the green pepper fish in the water is not bad. Remember to have a try ~
Qianjiang Xiaonanhai is the most beautiful dammed lake.
Qianjiang Xiaonanhai was originally named Xiaoying Sea.
Located in Qianjiang District, Chongqing, bordering Enshi, Hubei, it is a national AAAA-level scenic spot. Xiaonanhai is a scenic spot with mountains, waters, islands and gorges. People call it "the pearl in the depths of mountains" and "fairyland on earth". Xiaonanhai is the best preserved ancient earthquake site in China.
There are many shuttle buses from Qianjiang to Nanhai, basically every 45 minutes, and the traffic is very convenient ~ Qianjiang to Nanhai is about 32 kilometers, about 1 hour by car, and the road conditions are very good, all of which are hardened asphalt roads; You can also choose the expressway, and it is recommended to take the auxiliary road, with beautiful scenery along the way.
In the sixth year of Xianfeng, Qing Dynasty (1856), Taniguchi was blocked and became osawa. Earthquake remains, such as large collapsed rocks, small collapsed rocks, broken towers and cliffs, and dams made of rocks, are still clearly visible today. Xiufeng is surrounded by the South China Sea, with many strange rocks at the mouth of the lake, lingering streams, criss-crossing ports in the lake, and bamboo forests on the island. Chaoyang Temple, Laoliuping and Niu Bei are three islands. The Gu Song covers the sun, camellias are shrouded in mist, thatched huts and bamboo houses, and chickens crow and dogs bark, which is an idyllic scene.
Among the three islands in the South China Sea, Niubei Island is the largest and most beautiful. This is not only because it has produced many beautiful folk stories, myths and legends, which are mysterious and meaningful and have a long taste, but also because it is quiet, natural and hidden. It is also an island of pine wind and miscellaneous peanut trees, which always grow in season. There are monkeys, musk gardens, chickens, dogs, pigs and sheep, cabins and bamboo houses on the island. Although the inverted river behind Niubei Island is not wide,
But it is deep, cutting off the connection between the island and the land. On the other side is broken walls and the twisted wreckage, staring at a giant cow entering the water.
There are many snacks on the island. The crabs in Nanhai Lake are very fat, and so are the fish. Grilled fish, fried crabs and grilled shrimp are all delicious. The South China Sea is one of the drinking water sources of Qianjiang people. The water quality here is very good, and there are many fish and shrimp. Boating on the lake is also very enjoyable.
When I first went there a few years ago, Xiaonanhai was still primitive. This year, I found that the pedestrian walkway has been repaired, and the safety has been greatly improved, which not only avoids the wanton trampling of tourists, but also makes the scenic spot more harmonious ~
On may day, the weather is fine, with blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the fragrance of Sophora japonica is full all the way. You'll feel drunk after one sip! There are many wild flowers here, too. If you are a village baby, the original ecology here will awaken many memories of your childhood ~
There are also many dinosaur models on the island, and children will not feel bored when they come ~ Tyrannosaurus Rex is so domineering and realistic! There are dinosaur eggs to take pictures of you ~
Because of the time, I didn't see the panoramic view of climbing the mountain. Xiaonanhai is also a place I often visit in Qianjiang. It is an excellent choice for taking photos, picnicking and camping. Whether it is the sky at sunset, the thin clouds and fog at sunrise, or the hazy smoke when it rains, Xiaonanhai is a fairyland. You love the beautiful scenery, don't miss it!
The tranquility of Tujia Thirteen Villages
Everyone knows the beauty of Xiao Nanhai. However, in the depths of Xiaonanhai, there is also a paradise-like pure land, which is the Thirteen Villages Scenic Area of Tujia Nationality in Qianjiang, Chongqing. This little-known place has indescribable charm. Angel in Shisanzhai Prison, a place suitable for cultivating students and raising interest. In Xiaonanhai, there is a direct bus to Shisanzhai, and the fare is 7 yuan.
The parking lot at the entrance is next to the National Museum. Interested in Tujia and Miao people can go in and have a look. They can see many Tujia folk customs, lifelike wax figures and Miao and Tujia costumes. The silver ornaments of Miao nationality are quite exquisite and exquisite! The ticket is a set meal for Xiaonanhai, 68 yuan. So when you come to Xiaonanhai, you have to go to Shisanzhai anyway. After all, I didn't buy a ticket for nothing ~
Opposite the museum is the Yanwan Flower Sea, and now several azaleas are in full bloom. After a while, when all the flowers are planted, it will be a special scenery.
Seen from a distance, it is still beautiful. There are many pavilions on it to enjoy the cool. Sitting in the gazebo after dark in summer, smelling the flowers floating from time to time, watching the fireflies light up in the night sky, and then the naughty night wind gently brushed the long hair, full of peace of mind, as if returning to the scene of a young family, enjoying the cool air on the dam and looking up at the stars ~
There is a small river ditch between Huahai and the museum. You can move crabs to catch fish and shrimp, barbecue and camp, and play whatever you want.
I forgot to mention that national costumes can also be rented here, which is closer to the folk customs here. My TV is very good. Bright colors are in sharp contrast with the fresh green of nature, so the photos are more eye-catching and the subject is very prominent. You can also play like this ~
I took a few relatively satisfactory photos to share with you ~ national costumes can really be tried, maybe exotic customs will make you refreshed and shine!
The first stockade I went to was Longxu stockade. There is an old tree in front of the stockade, which is very popular with my master, so he insists on taking pictures of it. I have no feelings for trees. I prefer to look around at the scenery and flowers.
There is a little girl picking peas in the field. The farmhouse meals here are all produced and sold by herself, which are pure natural and pollution-free. So when you come to Shisanzhai, you should relax and eat farm food. The rice noodles, bacon and various vegetarian dishes here are all planted by Tujia people themselves. You can eat whatever you want, you can't find me fresh!
Every stockade is a fresh oxygen bar, surrounded by mountains and trees, which is my most intuitive feeling.
The next stop to leave Longxuzhai is Dawangping. Listing ancient trees is what attracts us here. Trees that have been flourishing for hundreds of years are still flourishing ~ It is said that with this century-old tree, the stockade will be more peaceful and peaceful ~
Not many people, typical Tujia diaojiao building, please note: these are the original features, not the face project of later transformation. Most of them are Tujia aborigines. With the passage of time, many villagers moved to Qianjiang City or Nanhai Town, and most of them moved to another place ~
I raise chickens, ducks, cows and sheep here. There are turtledoves and bamboo chickens here, and poultry and game here. It is also good to taste country games.
Bashang people pick their own tea leaves and dry them. Remember to drink old eagle tea when you come, I like it very much!
Everyday farming life, grazing cattle and hoeing, although life is trivial, there is no leisure. Not everyone has the opportunity to experience the pleasure of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" ~ Many people who leave rural towns will miss the days of transplanting rice seedlings, grazing cattle and digging in summer. That carefree country life is also a kind of happiness.
On the way back, I saw killing pigs. I don't know if there is a custom of drinking soup all over the country. Before and after the Spring Festival, you Xiu Peng Qian often does this, taking killing pigs and soaking in water as the main leisure and entertainment on weekends. The local pork raised by farmers is tender and tastes different from those raised on farms. When you come to Shisanzhai, you can eat local farm pigs, and you should understand the mood of eating goods.
Then I stayed for a while in Hejiazhai, which is also very famous and is the home of post-Tian Ming. There is a TV series called "Hou's Dream", which is also the main location.
This inspirational light comedy, you can watch it when you have time, not bad!
This is the birthplace of folk songs, Tujia people are good at singing, Miao people are good at dancing, and everyone in the basic stockade can sing and dance, no matter old people or young men and women, they can sing a few songs. Six Bowls of Tea and nirvana in fire can be sung at will ~ I used to like to sing along with everyone when I played Donkey Trip! There are also popular mountain duets here. It's interesting for you to talk to me.
Grandma Zhang in the stockade is a master of Tujia folk songs. You would never think that she is over 70 years old. Not afraid of life, not afraid of stage fright, just shout when you sing, so as not to leak. If the guest officer is interested, you can sing with her, but foreigners here generally don't understand Hakka, and I can only understand most of it.
Look at this good tooth. I don't know how many young people died every second. A good environment and good water can support a person.
Grandma Zhang sells snacks and fried potatoes here. I must strongly recommend that you try them. The seasoning is particularly good, and the potatoes are delicious.
Colorful Longmen in Langcun
The population and culture compound is also a must-see place when you come to Shisanzhai. It is a bit like the quadrangle in the north, and it is also the antique Tujia architectural style of Tujia quadrangle, and it is also a concrete manifestation of folk customs. Tujia people live in it, and it's strange to see their daily life!
Zhongba is the stage of Tujia waving dance here. Whenever there is a major festival, Tujia people will dance here. The scene is quite spectacular, but it's a pity that I didn't encounter such a grand occasion when I came! This is the picture I found online before, so you can make do with it ~
People in Shisanzhai still live a more traditional lifestyle. Chai rice is well cooked, dustpan is used to dry tea, dried radish, corn and other crops, and stone mill is used to grind beans and make tofu.
This yard has good feng shui. It is said that many families have twins. The picture shows a pair of younger brothers. If you want to be so lucky, why don't you come to Shisanzhai and live in peace for a while? Maybe you can get pregnant with twins through the benefits of Feng Shui, hahaha ~
(bacon on my own kang)
Shisanzhai is an atypical form of farmhouse music. You can find a place to eat in every village, where there are farm dishes and bacon on your own kang everywhere. Fresh vegetables grown by oneself; Wild small fish caught in the South China Sea.
Anyway, it's a taste you can't enjoy in a big city. The taste buds on the tip of the tongue need a little other taste occasionally, right?
I hope I can stop myself if I can.
If possible, I hope you can live in Qianjiang with me.
If possible, I hope we can retire to Shisanzhai.
I was hung in the smoke.
