As a native of Anhui, although I have settled in Jiangsu now, what's so interesting about talking about Anhui? You can proudly say Huangshan, Jiuhuashan and Hongcun. These places are concentrated in southern Anhui, with beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage, which is undoubtedly the best place for tourism development in Anhui. However, apart from southern Anhui, few tourists are willing to come in the central and northern Anhui, including Hefei.
Some time ago, I noticed that Anhui Tourism selected "Top Ten Ancient Villages and Towns in Anhui", among which Xidi, Chengkan and Tangmo, which we are familiar with in southern Anhui, were selected without any suspense, accounting for six seats. The remaining four are scattered in central and northern Anhui, namely Sanhe Ancient Town in Hefei, Longgang Village in Tianchang City, Linhuan Ancient Town in Huaibei City in northern Anhui Province and Yimen Ancient Town in Bozhou City. Taking this opportunity, I also went deep into these four places to do some understanding and found that the situation was not simple.
Sanhe Ancient Town is located at the southern end of Feixi County, Hefei City, at the junction of Hefei, Lu 'an and Chaohu Lake. It is also the only 5A-level scenic spot in the provincial capital. If you really want to explore the essence of the Three Rivers, you must explore the original texture of the block on the ancient streets of Qingshiban, and there are also ancient buildings preserved downstairs during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The long history can even be traced back to the ancient battlefields in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Three Kingdoms Period and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is a battleground for military strategists.
compared with the ancient buildings left behind, I think the most valuable thing after playing is the indelible life mark of the local people. The snacks here are all local characteristics, and they don't follow the trend of gorgon fruit cakes and stinky tofu. Tickets to Sanhe Ancient Town are also free, but there are also some scenic spots for tourists to choose from. Eight Scenes Package: 121 yuan/person; Four-view coupon: 71 yuan/person, suitable for tourists who want to know more about it, such as Yang Zhenning's former residence, visiting the national quintessence building to see the national quintessence and enjoy the scenery. There are many things to see without paying for scenic spots, such as the "one-person alley" where only one person can pass, and various old streets to shoot humanities and look for details. If you are tired of walking, you can also spend money to take a boat and take a look at the water.
Longgang Village is located in Tianchang City, Chuzhou, where people are outstanding and it is the largest distribution center of gorgon fruit in China. Gordon Euryale is a kind of aquatic plant, because the head of the fruit is shaped like a chicken head, also called a chicken head fruit or a chicken head rice, which has an excellent effect on the human body. In Longgang, you can not only taste all kinds of dishes made by Euryale ferox, but also add elements of Euryale ferox to all kinds of pastry in the traditional pastry shop on the roadside.
Longgang Village is also a red tourist destination. It was once the eighth branch of China People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and it was hidden in ancient houses. Many proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation have lived and fought in this ancient street of Ming and Qing Dynasties. All kinds of old objects in the former site of the branch school and the memorial hall in the village are of great value to visit, and there are even long tunnels running through it.
Longgang is an extremely common name, as frequent as the name "Zhang Wei". But the ever-lasting Longgang is not simple. As early as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was enthroned, standing on Nanjing Purple Mountain, he found a purple gas rising in the north of the Yangtze River, which indicated that there would be an artist competing with him for the world, so he sent Liu Bowen to destroy it. Liu Bowen also found the purple gas and came to Longgang, which was called Furong Gang at that time. Then he sent people to build 72 wells in the town in the shape of eight diagrams, just like 72 nails to fix Long Mai. He also renamed "Furong Gang" as "Longgang", meaning that the dragon will never leave the water, and once he takes up his post, he will be in trouble.
The ancient city wall of the Linhuan ancient city site in Huaibei has not been developed, and what is more special is that the city wall of the ancient city is a rammed earth wall, which seems unremarkable now. Fortunately, the ancient city wall is already under planning and maintenance, and the future is still expected. After all, it is also a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Since the ruins of the ancient city wall will be expected for some time, is there anything else to see in Linhuan? In fact, there is, and that is the old teahouse in Linhuan! In Linhuan's teahouse, even in winter, old customers come to drink tea after six o'clock. They wear thick pajamas, and most teapots are stored in the teahouse. And the old tea drinkers who come in an endless stream every day don't need the boss's greeting and reception, or even the boss to collect money. Old tea drinkers can drink all morning for only one yuan or 51 cents, and throw themselves into the piggy bank placed by the boss at will, all on their own initiative.
It's not 51 cents or 1 yuan for foreign tourists to come to the teahouse for tea. After all, the boss has to make money. Teahouses have packages ranging from ten yuan to dozens of yuan, with local snacks and cakes, and there are boxes to sit in, so visitors can choose at will.
Yimen ancient town, located in Guoyang county, Bozhou city, is a settlement of Hui people. When it comes to the history of Yimen, it is still a sad story. In the Tang Dynasty, Yimen was called Zhenyuan County. In the Anshi Rebellion, Zhenyuan County was bloodbath in An Lushan, and there was only one instrument door left in the county government. Therefore, the original source was changed to Yimen. When Guoyang established the county, the instrument was changed to righteousness. Therefore, Yimen has a history of thousands of years, but it still retains a very old mosque, which is a place where Han and Hui people are in harmony.
The halal food here is also integrated with the local food tastes, and it is unique. Yimen is also the "hometown of dried moss". It is said that it is also the favorite dish of Emperor Qianlong. It was once a tribute to the imperial court, and later it was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong, so it was called "tribute dish". Now the dried moss in Yimen has been exported abroad, and it is said that the price can be doubled many times. Moreover, dried moss also has a particularly loud name, called "Xiangcai", which is named after its crisp sound of eating.
The local culture in Yimen is also worth experiencing. It is the hometown of Han Boyu, the filial son of the Han Dynasty. As the New Year is approaching, this time I saw a mobile stage performing in the square, which is the story of the dutiful son of the idiom "Boyu weeping stick". Villagers in Shili Baxiang will gather around to watch it, which is very interesting.
