Located at the southern foot of mud mountain town 108 national highway of the Cheonggyecheon was once a brilliant one on the Southern Silk Road town, Yishanbangshui surrounded by Hirano Kongkuo both guardian of the north-south Yak Road Daxiangling hub, but also the West go to one of the main tea ceremony has always been for the West to the South to the trade center, known as "small Tongguan Jianchang Road." But the prosperity has increased over the past commissioning of Erlang Mountain road and the development of modern means of transport become superficial, and so that the millennium with big town into a giant street vulgar township level.
Qingxizhen now the best preserved ancient building is outside of the Confucian Temple Dynasty, hospital Zhaobi, lei star gate, main hall and the stone lions, stone tablets of Confucius and Jacuzzis, carving technique is also quite fine, Yuanba publication also there are a hundred years old laurel, and pale purple locust tree trunk Guang Liu, formerly known as "Guihuai Qi Xiang."
The city can demonstrate their ancient scenery has been limited, the old "9 St. 18, Lane" has to rely on imagination to Collage. North of the city there is a thick and short openings ancient city walls, the walls have been residents in the vicinity of "recycled" on the kinds of vegetable seedlings. The north entrance has a wooden arch, along the arch of the ancient post road through the next Daxiangling Gorge, then south of the mule teams are temporary Qiong starting from the iron, after the beginning Yang Road, turn Daxiangling, that is, into the city from here, only a year has been clamoring for the quartzite horseshoe Taguo Road, the road has been paved with cement. Said that the residents of the little town all the business, most hotels are open, this highway of people usually have to arrange two or three hundred people stay, and now look at both sides of the street there are still many old wooden structure with a courtyard of the house, although because of more run-down dilapidated, but still incomplete-carved wooden doors and windows showing the year the wealthy owner of the house, and ingenuity.
In the town, the legacy of doing business seems to be popular, when we looked at a park with carved doors and windows off, the gracious host welcoming out, we asked what their ancestors are doing, and she gave the answer is to do business as soon as they to ask whether we buy their own grind of pepper oil, and that can leave address, etc. to notify us upon receipt of a new pepper, but she was used as a loading infusion pepper oil bottle and a little on the sides of the bottle become moldy, so that we can only decline retire. We linger in the city for nearly two hours, listening to the rise and fall of the old town has experienced a spectacular year depicted can not help but sigh history and marshes.
