This ancient town named Longfeng Mountain is located in Yichuan County, Luoyang, and it takes 2 hours to drive from Zhengzhou. It's a little cold in early winter, especially after sunset, so it's disappointing if the ancient town doesn't look very good.
Fortunately, it didn't disappoint people, and even had some unexpected joy. This is a new ancient town, with brand-new buildings and brand-new city walls, which exudes fresh breath inside and outside.
Although the building is new, its cultural heritage is very long. Yichuan county is a well-known humanistic county. Fan Zhongyan lived here briefly in Song Dynasty, and famous Neo-Confucians Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi gave lectures here. Yichuan in the Northern Song Dynasty was a famous city with brilliant style of writing.
Yichuan is not as famous as it used to be. People only know Luanchuan and Songxian when they mention Luoyang, but Yichuan seems to be a neglected corner. Perhaps it is for this reason that Yichuan County has established such an ancient town, a new ancient town with Song Wenhua as the center.
It is reported that the complete scale of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain has reached 5,000 mu, and it is estimated to cost 3 billion yuan, and it is open to the public free of charge without entering the park. Therefore, although it is a new ancient town, Longfeng Mountain is not short of tourists, and people come and go every day, which is very lively.
There is a towering wall at the entrance. Standing on the city wall and looking out, the ancient town is layered and patchwork, which is very beautiful. Maybe there are too many elements to express. The ancient town is a bit nondescript, with both the cultural elements of the Northern Song Dynasty and the customs of the Republic of China, and the feeling of several caves in Shaanxi, which is dazzling.
But overall, this is a good place to take photos and punch in. Under the small bridge and flowing water, between Zhuge's houses is a good place to take pictures. I saw many girls wearing Hanfu and taking pictures of each other all the time. As a new ancient town, making tourists interested in taking photos and sharing is a success in itself.
On the north side of the ancient town is a playground, with facilities such as ferris wheel, bumper car, rainbow slide and jumping machine. It is reasonable to say that ancient towns that pay attention to history should not have these play facilities, but since they choose to open for free, they have to have other income, so the playground is naturally the best way.
It can be seen that Longfeng Mountain wants to please the young audience and has also built a real-life CS venue in the block. The style of being rigid and soft is really abrupt. There is also a small train on the street of People's Republic of China, which has a special railway track and leaves at a fixed time every day.
During the day, the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain is relatively dull, but when night falls, it is another look. It is no exaggeration to say that this should be the first night ancient town in Henan. All the buildings are covered with lights, resplendent and dazzling everywhere, and the patchwork layout creates a visual level, which looks like a palace.
I like the night view of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain, which is colorful. The red lanterns hung between ancient towns exude charming red, bringing warm breath to the cold night. The Ferris wheel behind the ancient town radiates strange light, which complements the attic and forms a wonderful picture.
It is suggested to take a "spaceship" and overlook the night view of the ancient town in the air, which is like walking into a fairy tale in Miyazaki Hayao. Some people compare the night view of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain with the ancient town of Fenghuang. Now it seems that this is true.
After visiting the ancient town, remember to eat a bowl of "sweet potato noodles", which is a local specialty. It is made of sweet potato starch. When you put peppers and vegetables on it, you will sweat all over and you will not be afraid of the cold when you go out.
Generally speaking, the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain is worth a visit, with dreamy night scenes and picturesque customs. You can take your family to see it on weekends.
Address: northwest of Yichuan County, Luoyang, no admittance.
