I thought there were no more pristine ancient towns until I came across this one…

I came from Gong to see the Lantern Festival. I didn't expect to come across such an original ancient town. The driver arrived at the entrance of the ancient town in one step from the city. Free tickets and few tourists, it is a blessing for social phobia! 🦄【The past and present life of the fairy】🦄 It is said that the whole town is in the shape of a fairy lying on her side by the river (I stared at the aerial photo for half an hour and couldn't figure out where the waistline was) But it is confirmed! 1,400 years ago, ancient people came here to transport salt! There are so many ships carrying salt at the dock that it looks like a 1️⃣1️⃣ express delivery station📦 You can still smell the faint smell of salted fish (bushi) on the stone slabs 🏯【The magic of architecture】🏯 Shocked! The entire ancient town is not there! have! nail! son! All relying on wood and stone to play Jenga 🧱 This clumsy person studied the beams for a long time Conclusion: The mortise and tenon joint technology of the ancients is more stable than my Lego blocks! (I kowtowed to my ancestors on the spot) 🎨【Must-check-in fairy camera position】🎨 ❶ Fairy lying observation point📍 Search "LeLe Kindergarten" on the navigation without hesitation! The best place to overlook the entire Xianshi Ancient Town ❷ Qing Dynasty version of the commercial street🛍️ The cotton shop grandma is still spinning on the handwheel The blacksmith shop uncle is forging iron on the line I thought I traveled to the set of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" in a trance ❸ Social Animal Transfer Station🙏 Chen Family Ancestral Hall is very effective in praying for career! This working man 🙏Three pillars on the day ❹ Hidden sky garden 🌿 Observation tower charges 5 yuan 🎫 A bit of a rip-off? But it smells so good the moment you go upstairs! The layers of tiles on the roof are really nice 🍜【Foodie advice】🍜 Don’t expect a Michelin environment! But recommended: ▫️Tofu rice with chili sauce🌶️——spicy enough to make your soul leave your body ▫️Ancient town winery receives freshly made wine🍶——it smells so good Also, if you like spicy food, you can go to the city to eat rabbit🐇 📌【Guide to slacking off】📌 ✅Come in Hanfu! Any photo taken on the bluestone slabs looks like a still from a drama ✅Bring mosquito repellent in the summer! Mosquitoes are much more enthusiastic than tourists ✅Come at 4pm! The sunlight adds a golden border to the eaves, which is very beautiful. ✅The teahouse by the river is 10 yuan/cup🍵Listen to the old man telling gossip about salt merchants. Finally, I whispered: There are not many tourists in this place, even the stray cats are too lazy to do business. But it is this lazy temperament that makes me willingly contribute N selfies🤳
