Beginning this year, due to my work, I have many opportunities to travel, began traveling the country a lot of places. In his spare time, I will take a look at local customs, walk around historic sites, taste snacks. I intend to organize them bit by bit up to share with you my experience, so as to avoid as they, as time goes by, other than scattered out of my memory.
The first chapter of my travels is the Zigong Travel Notes.
City impression
In the past, I learned with the Zigong-related knowledge are three: Zigong Lantern Festival (there was also the one in Guangzhou in the fire, but I now have little interest in), Zigong's well salt, Zigong dinosaur. Highway from Chengdu to go with the 3-4 hours can go to Zigong, the station is located in the new city, is on level ground, and then south over fuxi he will enter the old city of Zigong. Zigong's old town can be described as a mountain, most of the streets are built on mountains, or upper or lower, for the first time a similar mountain of me that this can be extremely fresh. Zigong While the first two groups of national historical and cultural city, but left in the city really are not many traces of history and culture. Even the old town, the main street is lined with buildings built in recent years, non-dasht color; if empty walk before they can find, including street markets of some old-fashioned wooden tile, ascend step by step along the slope, looked at the dark streets, and Yulin Zhuang wood tiles, you can faintly see the year of the original mountain.
Zigong gave me the impression that here is another boiled water especially sweet taste particularly good (I wonder if it's sake here, salt production, water may also contain considerable mineral), Guangzhou, the water naturally better than, and even if it "feels a little bit Sweet, "The XX spring can only hold a candle to. Soil and water to support one side, so a "Zigong out of beauty" in Sichuan is also known, in the streets to see MM, is indeed a very slim well-proportioned body, face relatively Jiao good, the skin is very white and tender; but is said to remain in the local stream is already 2 level, first-class career in the multi-away world. But also in Zigong meals or accommodation, you can not tell the waiter "Miss", but only called "Yao Mei" (of course, must Sichuan accent), or face supercilious relative to look over the truth, we can think for themselves.
Western Qin Hall (Salt Museum)
Qin Hall is the Zigong's most famous historic buildings, located in the old town Jiefang, the early years of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong Ji salt merchants from Shaanxi Province, built by fellow Hall fund-raising. Stood across the street looking ahead, the entire building back an extension of the mountain pass away, housing Ling heavy, each room at the top of Yan Jiao, such as flying wings, Qi Qiao slender, take bad ups and downs, sharp corners, such as forest. The door a pair of stone lions, the relative turned away and hope and muscles swell, wearing curly-haired, carving style and I often lions very different kind of temperament gives a strong deterrent effect. From the main entrance to the inside, followed by a Peking Opera Theater, morning room, the hall, main hall, and so the construction, the entire hall building beautifully decorated with a large number of wood carving, stone carving, painting and clay sculpture. Previously only heard in a variety of novel, extremely wealthy salt merchant, this time to see the Hall in the Zigong mountain before I discovered that the legend is true, I imagine if there is a remarkable financial and forces, how can we set up in this remote town such a magnificent hall (this building even more than the level of luxury within the Xiqin Chengdu Hall).
Qin will be the original hall decorations and other supplies do not seem to have survived, and now within the setting of the hall is the history of Zigong salt industry exhibition on the Millennium since the development of salt industry of Zigong, in particular, is one of the hundreds of pieces of ancient times The well salt chisel administration tools are mostly cast-iron, and some hundreds of kilograms of weight up to a few meters, and some are less than 1 meter of light as a few kilograms, according to use is divided into bits, fishing tools, repair tools, etc. Salt the ancients is the use of these tools and a simple lever and derrick and so on, use of human and animal, chiselling out the depth of 1000 meters on the Salt, and make full use of natural gas resources in symbiosis with the brine of salt as the burning of fuel, making the development of Zigong salt industry The eagerly for the national well salt, so I had to intelligence and wisdom of the ancients filled with deep respect!
However, like this one can increase both historic and cultural value of local knowledge, but people feel a sense of depression, it appears that only in the morning to visit, we are a pedestrian, but usually pass through the hall door and found the staff to visit is also very very few, but also foreign tourists. And with Hall Hall's strategy seems to support can not proceed, a subsidiary of Hall buildings have been rented as shops, is very distressing. In contrast Guangzhou Chen Clan, regardless of historical value, size and so is not necessarily comparable to Xiqin Hall, but packaged by the Guangzhou city has become a famous scenic spots in Guangzhou and the nearby town planning is also interpreted as the center, is also a minor celebrity at home and abroad. We have to leave their wealth of history to fully use ah.
Dashanpu Zigong Dinosaur Museum from the city by taxi, about 15 yuan will be able to reach the Zigong Dinosaur Museum. Here you can see many different types of vice complete dinosaur skeleton fossils. The sight of "Dancing with the Dragon", the look at the history, they should not be some authentic taste. Another feature is you can see here, fossil excavation site of the original: in a hall surrounded by fossils in the pit, overlooking the fossil pits, large pieces of rocks scattered on the stack, including the variety of dinosaurs, including some fossil traces of ancient creatures , not the emotion of local rich fossil and archaeological resources, staff capacity, to cobble together a set of really is not easy. The museum facilities, is still relatively complete perfect, but the display methods are limited, and the content is a bit monotonous, walking inside an hour is sufficient. A lot of money and tickets, 30 yuan a person feels is not worth (not as good as Beijing's Museum of Natural History)
Royal Highness Royal Highness the temple is fuxi he side of the temple, just a bend in the hillside in the distance look like an eagle ranked number one corner on the cliff overlooking the water. Wang Yeh Temple next, that is, before the old pier at the Salt Museum, old photos, you can look back to the then bustling and full of fun here. But it's brilliant, but also long past. A road from its side and off, shovel went to half its original size. The remaining corner to open up for the dance hall was hit by a day, the night will be ringing loud disco music, and has become a number of "trendy" young people go by. In the gallery by the river side, colorful cafe, I would like a cup of tea, back towards the noise and lights, feeling the soft tranquility of the fuxi he flow, and a hundred years ago, and thousands of years ago is the same. . . .
