In a not too hot, I went to a less popular tourist destination - Sichuan langzhong.
Starting from Chengdu, sitting into the car along the south high-speed about three hours to reach Nanchong City, and then through the West charge, you can reach the southern counties langzhong city, the road a total of five or six hours. The time may be long, along the way they are not bored, car window eyeful is green, and school of rural scenery. Accompanying this delightful spring to knew the reached its destination. Arrived in the ancient city, we will soon be waiting in the ancient city of mouth we will be staying in the compound landlord collar away. Motor vehicle access is not allowed inside the ancient city, and we walk with the landlord came to our compound, called "Freshwater Xuan." Landlord surnamed Ran, not only honest and kind, but also warm and considerate. In the curiosity of our repeated requests, the same day as the afternoon of our free guides to take us visiting the city and give us that the ancient city.
Langzhong is a 2000 years of history with the city of northern Sichuan, the Warring States Period shall Pakistan country, Shu Han, when Zhang Fei guarding langzhong for seven years, was later killed by his men rebel dead, buried langzhong. The Zhang Fei said that the tomb of Langzhong is not only a corpse skull, Zhang Fei's head was buried in the Zhang Feimiao Yunyang the. Zhang Feimiao we visited in the afternoon, we are left in the tomb of Zhang Fei as the hero of the final outcome sighed with regret.
In addition to Zhang Feimiao, Gongyuan such historical monuments, ancient city residential buildings, especially homes in the carved wooden doors and windows is also a pleasure to behold. Langzhong city's architectural style brought together North and South factions, both courtyard, Huizhou architecture, but also the south garden style. The more well-known are the Qin Courtyard, Courtyard Kong, Zhang small courtyard, and so on, can receive accommodation, and some did not open as Wang's Grand Courtyard, has remained residential. From the ancient buildings can be found in ancient times a langzhong Welcome to Wikipedia's open city, which is taught from the five co-existence of the city temple can be corroborated. Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianity, has well-preserved temples, incense constantly. Baba Temple of Islam in particular, is very beautiful brick is a national key cultural relics protection units.
To Langzhong, you can immediately appreciate its simple yet profound cultural connotation. It is not only the three travel itinerary, since ancient times has also attracted numerous scholars poet. In the Pavilion of Prince Teng and Jinpingshan, you can see, as Li Bai, Du Fu, Lu and others left behind temporarily langzhong poems. Moreover, langzhong residents of the ancient city are very warm kind-hearted, and the people honest. Sometimes we discuss where to go in the street to go to the how, when, will someone kind enough to guide our way, or even to take us a way. Small two-day stay in the ancient city, just as at home, feeling, often stopping by next door residents homely chatter, and no one see us as tourists, we also would not put myself as an outsider, this feeling is somewhat not a "tourism" feeling. I think the people of this city atmosphere and simplicity of folk customs, perhaps she is from the city's cultural heritage.
Historical sites, architecture, culture, natural scenery, as well as Paul Ning vinegar, green bean cakes, Zhang Fei beef and specialty foods, but most people recall with nostalgia, or where the ancient folk customs. Who gives the soul of a city, and only with the people, cities have a different personality, hopes langzhong city can sustain their personality.
