Jianshui is a fascinating and beautiful place that attracts a large number of tourists every day. It is home to a group of simple residents who retain traditional virtues and is an ideal place for recreation and leisure.

We walked eastward along the road, and the largest building we saw first was the "Lin'an Hotel". This was also the best hotel in Jianshui. In ancient times, Jianshui was called "Lin'an", and another city was called "Lin'an".

It is now Hangzhou. The two were in conflict, and as a result, Lin'an in Yunnan was changed to Jianshui today.

Walking further, you will see an ancient city tower "Yongzhen Gate", which should be the north gate.

The first place we want to go today is the vegetable market. It is located in the city. There is a street morning market here. The locals call it "Hanjia Vegetable Market".

This is a vegetable market that I particularly like. It is hidden in a winding old street. People put out vegetables and agricultural and sideline products in the morning, and it was crowded with traders. Many farmers even came from far away places.

.

Yunnan, also known as Caiyunzhinan, means distant. It has been shrouded in mystery for a long time. Now due to the convenient transportation, more and more people come here for tourism, business or exploration.

So what exactly is the most Yunnan? Some people think that the most Yunnan is the beautiful scenery, some think it is the unique lifestyle of ethnic minorities, and some think it is its spring-like climate all year round.

And I think the most beautiful thing about Yunnan is its rich products, God’s most selfless giving and generosity, and there are so many edible things.

All of these are most truly reflected in farmers’ markets, so when I arrived in Yunnan, my favorite place to visit was the vegetable market, and I always made new discoveries.

This temporary vegetable market in Jianshui is squeezed into an alley, with a total length of one or two hundred meters. It was crowded with people early in the morning. The sellers came early. Although there were some fixed stalls, most of them were set up randomly.

The place should be occupied by whoever comes first, and those who come later have to live in the corners.

The biggest feature here is that most of the surrounding farmers set up stalls, and the vegetables sold are all grown by themselves or picked from the mountains.

Although it is a farmer selling vegetables, the vegetables here are washed cleanly, and the display is very particular. It seems that the placement and color matching are all carefully considered. I have not seen anything better than here elsewhere.

Pay attention to the "aesthetics of food market matching" (country brother language).

The most important thing is that you can see a lot of things you don't know, have never seen, and haven't eaten here, which can be said to be an eye-opener.

This time I photographed a lot of peppers, but I didn’t expect the rich varieties of peppers in Jianshui. I saw ten or twenty different varieties in one market.

A little girl was selling wild vegetables for 2 yuan a handful. She said they were picked from the mountain. I wanted to buy two handfuls, but she didn’t have WeChat and could only use RMB. But I rummaged through my pocket and found only a few one-dollar coins.

Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head and refused, refusing to accept it.

This was beyond my expectation. Why is there a place that doesn’t require coins? The country brother said that people here only accept banknotes and don’t want coins. In the end, he had to find someone to break the money.

Going to a place to see the market is the easiest place to get close to the local people and understand their living habits and food customs. It is also the most direct and easiest place to understand the people's style and all living beings.

Not far from the vegetable market, there is an ancient building called "Keli Building".

This is a Ming Dynasty building, and it is said that it was only built a few years later than the Jianshui East Gate Tower (Chaoyang Tower).

The East Gate Tower was built in the 22nd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1389), 631 years ago. It is very similar to Tiananmen Square in Beijing and was built at the same time.

"Currie Building" has been renovated, but I didn't think it looked like this before. It was very dilapidated (as shown below). For this reason, I even wrote an article calling for protection.

The repairs have finally been completed. Although it is not satisfactory, it will not collapse and there will be no danger for people around here.

Going east is an old street, which is now a bit dilapidated, but the buildings on both sides have aged over time, and you can see a long time in the past.

Here the country brother saw an acquaintance who he said was the last water collector in Jianshui City. It turns out that there are many ancient wells and springs in Jianshui City, but the differences vary greatly from place to place. The water in Ximen is the best. This is why "selling water"

He used a horse-drawn cart to pull water and sold it along the street, mainly for tea-makers. This was the last "water seller" who pulled a horse-drawn cart.

The water seller said that he stopped working last year and sold the horse.

Now that the place is about to be relocated, he is worried, but he has no other choice, so he has no intention of doing anything anymore.

Walking through a long and winding narrow street, a "red apricot" came out of the wall. I imagine this is a good place for taking portraits.

After exiting the alley, there is a very prominent courtyard called "Zeng Family Courtyard".

Seeing that the gate was open, we walked in. After entering the gate, there were gates in the front and back yards. It seemed that this was a very large house. Let's take a look at the front yard.
