Especially in the Daba Mountain area at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there are many beautiful towns hidden, but they are not known to the outside world. Among them, the most special is Ziyang County in Ankang City, which is called "Little Chongqing". It was built on a whole mountain. People are on slopes when they go out, either uphill or downhill.
The water system here is also very developed, and taking a boat is as common as taking a bus. There is a special port for ships in the county seat.
Ziyang is located in the south of Shaanxi, at the junction of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Chongqing provinces, with Wanyuan County in Sichuan Province in the southwest, Chengkou County in Chongqing in the southeast, Qinling Mountain in the north and Bashan Mountain in the south. A Han River runs through the city from the middle, forming Ziyang at the intersection of Renhe and Han River.
Generally speaking, there is a relatively open alluvial plain at the intersection of estuaries, which is suitable for building cities. But the terrain here in Ziyang is high mountains and deep valleys, and half an acre of flat land can't be found. It is under such topographical conditions that Ziyang talents settle down in the mountains. From the bank of the Han River, buildings climbed the ridge until the whole hillside was covered with dense houses.
This is the unique mountain city Ziyang in Shaanxi.
The name Ziyang originated from Zhang Boduan, the founder of Southern Taoism. It is said that the real Ziyang once practiced here. Now, there is a real statue of Ziyang in Wenbishan Park opposite Ziyang County, and there is a real palace in Ziyang ditch.
The best place to enjoy Ziyang scenery is on Wenbi Mountain opposite Ziyang County. There is a Ziyang Pavilion at the top, which is a six-story square tower. Standing on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of Ziyang County.
On the left, the Renhe River flows into the Han River from the southwest. In the middle, the Han River turns, stretches out its long arm and holds Ziyang City in its arms. On the right, the Han River winds eastward and gradually disappears into a deep valley. ...
Ziyang is famous for its tea. There are many mountains and clouds here, and the tea produced is sweet and fresh. Ziyang Se-enriched tea was once used as court tribute tea in Tang Dynasty, and Ziyang Maojian tea has become one of the top ten famous teas in China in Qing Dynasty.
The most famous tea garden in Ziyang is in Huan Ancient Town, but in fact, growing tea here is as common as growing vegetables in other places, and tea gardens can be seen everywhere.
Ziyang slate house used to be a scenic spot. It is said that the stone houses in Ziyang ancient town were very common in the past. People use green slates instead of tiles and stack them on the roof. From a distance, it looks like a thousand layers of dried cakes. When it rains, it shines like a fish scale. On Wenbi Mountain opposite Ziyang City, there are many such slates, and the stones naturally form bedding, which is convenient for people to use local materials.
Now, most stone houses in Ziyang County have been replaced by high-rise buildings. Only in the alley at the corner of the old city can you see one or two roofs covered with such stones. In the countryside around Ziyang, there are also many stone houses that are still well preserved.
Ziyang is also known as the "hometown of folk songs", and the folk songs here are actually very similar to those in Guizhou and Xiangxi. "Picking tea in the first month, yes, it is New Year's Eve. Pick up that dress and go to Chashan ~ ""I haven't punted for a long time, and the scholar forgot the words. ""Three turtledoves flew over the corner, two were in pairs, and one was single ... "It's full of Xiangxi folk songs.
Ziyang's food is also very distinctive. Steamer is very famous, as well as oil paste, paste, hot and sour konjac, Hanjiang fish and so on. People here speak southern dialects and like to eat rice and stir-fry. The food tastes sour and spicy. Really like "Xiangxi Town"!
