Travels talking about a small town in western Liaoning Xingcheng a small county in western Liaoning today Xingcheng, I am afraid not many people know, however, this small town in the seventeenth century can be described as famous can be said to be famous rivers and mountains thousands of miles. Xingcheng is not known when the current name, but called Ning Acropolis. Ning Wei brought this city, it is in China's modern history there have been a carefully written, Ji Ming Liao Yuan Chonghuan to defend the Governor's Beijing and the Qing Dynasty was in this desperate Taejo Nurhachu a must, and to Ming-jun fortresses big stick ended by victory, which is Qing Ming army to do battle with a small number of a victory. History books call it as: "Ning victory." Today's Xingcheng train station, there is a statue of Yuan Chonghuan to show the majesty of this historic city. May be time to see more young history books, Mr. Fan Wenlan's "Chinese History" is our time, a must read; may be readable by the time one of the few novels Mr. Yao Xueyin's "Li Zicheng" effect, been wanted to go to this small town to go around. But the recent exchanges between Beijing and the northeast many times and it brushed past, failed to get anywhere. This year's Spring Festival, a friend pulled me off-season tour to the Beidaihe, heart and desire to leave this town has been close at hand, this tour is a matter of course.
Out of Shanhaiguan, on the high-speed, north to Shenyang, the direction of car dealers in around 1 hour far to see the highway signs pointing in front of 1,000 meters Xingcheng export. Under the very high speed, it came to the ancient city near the west gate.
This Ning Castle built in the Ming only the beginning of the year I do not know whether it is, reportedly is the best preserved ancient city of a Ming Dynasty. The movie "Plain guerrillas", "three-mountain", "Ji Hongchang" and many films, television dramas have photographed at this location. A small town located in the Bohai Sea of the Liaoxi Corridor, north-east 60 km away from Jinzhou, 100 kilometers southwest from Shanhaiguan. Now for the county-level city, belonging to the jurisdiction of prefectural-level city of Huludao. Whether or distance from Beijing, Shenyang are probably about 400 kilometers. Beijing-Shenyang Expressway and Beijing-Shenyang Railway have passed from the small town and convenient transportation, but also inside, and closed off traffic outside the fortress, has always been fought over. The war of liberation, when Liaoning-Shenyang Campaign, where although not become the main battlefield, but not far from Huludao, a former army and the military Sisha bloody battlefield.
4 Cross Street, Old Town in the intersection, the middle of a kulou 1, Denglou overlooking the city, simple and elegant Ming Dynasty, a street, the Qianlong emperor composed a poem evaluated by Zushi Shihfang panoramic view. City-based four-door, the East for the spring and doors, south Nobuteru doors Yongning the west gate, the north Weiyuan door, doors are built gatehouse, corners each with corner units, the southeast corner of the platform Kuixinglou Building 1, surrounded by still circle of well-preserved city walls. Just, now that the wall has been surrounded by residential areas, even taking pictures is to act anything like a complete picture. (Of course, perhaps it is our footprints everywhere they went throughout the city failed to accommodate a) In addition to the middle of Kurau outside the city around the front of the building has a fine carved stone arch. Small Block seaside town is a state-level scenic spots, is the only one set of mountains, sea, island, spring, tour the city as a whole resort. There are known as the "second Beidaihe," said a beautiful beach, there are towering magnificent in the first mountains, magnificent sea view Chrysanthemum Island, there are quite casual atmosphere of the spa resort group, there are well-preserved ancient city of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
I do not know is because the holidays, or in peacetime, too, a small town on the streets coming and going, doing business stalls, shops pedestrians bustling bustling. Cries, 3 mo's voice, it sounds as a bargain with the previous day, a cheerless place of Beidaihe in stark contrast. On the streets was fairly wide, mostly two-story houses on both sides of flat-topped, to shop mostly, the erection of a signboard in front of Akira son, and rarely show a stall in the city streets, but mostly concentrated in the city outside. Interestingly, not very long streets, as much more than 10 companies sell gas cookers, and people thought it was to a stove factory, look closely when the origin and both are still the South. As the North other small towns, the streets can not be considered clean and tidy, but it is not the excessive mess. Although this does not look ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi worse than that, but here in Pingyao Tourism Development is going too far. Ye Hao shops along the street, the city outside the stalls Ye Hao, basically selling daily necessities and food, and rarely see the shadow of travel supplies, which in the era of commodities surging tide also can be called new. Of course, no tourism products, thus saving death of small business operators play catch bad trouble. Common social practice, as the Northeast, natural landscape.
Unfortunately, due to time, even though the idea of a trip this long-standing, on this visit the ancient city of just swimming hastily withdraw troops Ming Jin away. To the first mountain, chrysanthemum Island and spa stay do a better excuse to come back next time.
