Bashan, Shushui, and fertile fields are thousands of miles away.

On the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, there is a "mountain plain" city surrounded by mountains. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the fragrance of tea and fish. It is also the paradise of the national treasure giant panda. It has "elegant rain, elegant fish,

Ya'an City is famous for its "elegant girls".

Ya'an is a city famous throughout Sichuan for its "rain".

There are more than 300 days of elegant rain throughout the year, giving birth to plump elegant fish and beautiful elegant girls.

With the opening of the Chengdu-Ya'an high-speed railway, Ya'an has been integrated into Chengdu's "1-hour economic circle".

Changes in transportation methods have driven the development of the local tourism economy.

Some unknown beautiful scenery, the mysterious veil was slowly unveiled.

Shangli Ancient Town, nestled between mountains and rivers, is one of these little-known secrets of an ancient village.

Shangli Ancient Town is located at the intersection of four counties, bordering Mingshan and Qionglai to the east, and Lushan and Ya'an to the west.

More than 2,000 years ago, this place was an important stop on the Southern Silk Road and a transit place for the Red Army on their way north during the Long March.

The countryside is made up of hills, the wooden houses are made of houses, the streets are paved with bluestones, the stilted buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties; the green water and green mountains, the stone arch bridges that have been dormant for hundreds of years, the old streets with unique folk customs in western Sichuan... each scene is fascinating to see at every step.

It was once the filming location for film and television dramas such as "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "I'm Not Going Home Tonight".

This ancient village is surrounded by towering green mountains, adjacent to mountains and water, and is ancient and mysterious.

The entire Shangli Ancient Town has a "well" layout, with narrow streets, old-fashioned shops on both sides, and mainly wooden structures.

Such a layout creates the idea that "there is water in the well, and water and fire are incompatible". Fire is used to control water and protect the safety of the town.

Looking at Shangli, there is actually only one main street in the entire ancient town, which is winding along the river.

On the rippling blue river, there is a "rainbow-like" stone arch bridge that is particularly eye-catching. This is the Erxian Bridge with hundreds of years of history.

At the end of the ancient town, there is a new arch bridge across the river from the Erxian Bridge. The poem goes "Two rivers sandwich a mirror, and a rainbow falls on the two bridges", which vividly depicts the whole picture of the ancient town.

Time flies like an arrow, and years are wasted.

Erxian Bridge, which has gone through hundreds of years of wind and frost, is now surrounded by green vines on both sides, like a bright and moving jade bracelet.

Visitors to the ancient town often walk on the stone bridge to take a look.

There are many students painting in the shade along the river bank.

From time to time, graceful silhouettes flash by the stream rocks. They are newlyweds taking photos of their happiness.

At the dilapidated bridgehead, a young woman was playing with vine handicrafts, including turtles, grasshoppers, and frogs, which attracted many people to stop and admire them.

On the other side of the bridge, there is a hundred acres of tea garden full of greenery.

The ancient town of Shangli is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It not only has a century-old bridge rising over the river, but also the intriguing legend of "Five Family Ports in Shangli".

It is reported that Shangli was once a gathering place for the five major ethnic groups of Han, Yang, Chen, Zhang and Xu.

The Han family has a lot of money in business, the top son of the Yang family is an official, the Chen family is a big grain farmer, the Zhang family is sticks who are good at martial arts, and the beautiful and hard-working Xu family women are.

The concise statement outlines the humanistic outline of the ancient town. In the past, on this narrow stone street, how many thrilling competitive stories were waiting to be savored?

Shangli Ancient Town is one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan and is well-known in Ya'an. It is adjacent to the Bifengxia Panda Kingdom. This secret of the ancient village is gradually becoming known to people.

The ancient Shangli Ancient Town not only retains the stilted buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also has rich historical and cultural landscapes such as the Han Family Courtyard, one of the five famous families in Shangli, the magical White Horse Spring, and the Buddhist treasure stupa, which are worth taking a closer look at.

It is full of fun to watch and taste.

Where there are ancient towns, there is food. As a branch of Sichuan cuisine, Ya'an is extremely rich in food content.

The famous Yayu, the mouth-watering meat, the chewy noodles, and the spicy and fragrant Malatang.

There are also the fragrant walnut cakes unique to the ancient town, and the insect feast that makes people want to taste it.

In the past, the ancient town of Shangli was the "Shu Poison Road", which was an important pass for Shu people to leave the country from Dehong and enter Myanmar and Thailand.

Nowadays, this is an ancient mountain village that has been forgotten by the world, and it is quiet.

There is no hustle and bustle of the bar streets in Lijiang Ancient Town, and there are no overwhelming inns and B&Bs along the double corridors. This place retains the most original atmosphere of the ancient town.

In Zhongli Village, a fifteen-minute drive from Shangli Ancient Town, there is a sea of ??lavender flowers, waiting for your romantic encounter with dancing skirts and falling into the sweet dreamland.

The water town in the dream, the secret land above.

As touching as a poem, as beautiful as a scroll.

Shangli Ancient Town, a forgotten rural secret.

It is not as blooming as the Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, and it is not as crowded with tourists as the Fenghuang Ancient Town. It has a unique village of western Sichuan folk houses with rich local flavor, which is ecstatic in the countryside hidden by the mountains and rivers.
