There is a Gui (盬) Street in Yuncheng. In the street there is the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty.

It turns out that Yu is not Gui. I made a mistake myself, and I was wrong for a long time. It was not until I wrote this article later that I realized that I had made a mistake. But I still wrote it down according to the mistake, in order to remind me that Yu is not Gui.

On October 5, 2021, when you left Pingyao Ancient City, you didn’t know where you were going?

In fact, Pingyao is only more than 500 kilometers away from Xi'an, and we can drive back in one go. It’s just that it’s hard to travel so far, the highway is free, and it’s such a good opportunity, so I’m not willing to go back like this.

It’s just that it’s raining, and the whole world is wet. Later, cultural relics throughout Shanxi suffered floods to varying degrees. Shanxi has many courtyards and culture.

In October 2021, sustained high-intensity rainfall put more than 1,700 immovable cultural relics in Shanxi in varying degrees of danger. Among them, county-level and registered cultural relics were more severely damaged. The article said that since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the central and Shanxi provincial finances have spent 1.06 billion yuan in maintenance and rescue protection funds for ancient architectural and cultural relics protection units. Although funding for cultural relics protection has increased year after year, it is still a drop in the bucket for the more than 20,000 ancient architectural relics in Shanxi.

The large number of cultural relics has become an invisible burden and a dilemma.

These are interruptions, let’s get down to business. I took the map and headed towards my home. My intuition was to go directly to Luoyang. The ancient city of Luoyang is graceful and luxurious, and it is well-constructed now. But the map shows that the area around the ancient city of Luoyang is always full of traffic jams and red and purple. After thinking about it for a long time, forget it, I don’t dare to take the risk. But where to go?

His eyes were fixed on Yuncheng, a strange city. I immediately went to a certain channel. Nowadays, everyone is famous and everyone is a self-media. A mobile phone is a small universe with super huge capabilities. It turns out that the most popular thing on a certain website these days is the newly opened Guijie Street in Yuncheng.

Various video shops on Guijie Street in Yuncheng come here, including official introductions, recommendations from TV stations, beauties checking in in person, etc. It inspires people, just like going to this place. And officials show that some attractions are free of charge and free of charge during the National Day.

Let’s go to Yuncheng, it’s such a firm decision.

Who knew that all the good things would come to an end because of the non-stop rain. The rain wetted many originally planned activities and stopped them, making people sigh.

There are many people and dense cities in the Central Plains. Soon after getting off the Yuncheng Expressway, the car started to drive slowly. The road was full of cars. The distance was not far, but it took a long time.

When we arrived near Guijie Street, we couldn't find a place to park. We turned around in a big circle and saw the grand gate of Guijie Street. But there was no place to park, so we continued to circle around. It was said online that parking is available in the courtyard of the Yancheng District Government, open to the public, and parking is free. However, when I got here, there was a car barrier at the door and a camera was shining on my car, prompting me that it was invalid and not registered. It seems that the information on the Internet is inaccurate.

Fortunately, after making a circle, we came back and arrived at the north gate of Guijie Street.

At the northernmost end of Guijie Street, on a road with many potholes and poor road conditions, we decided to stop. Many cars were parked next to the roadside. Yang and I were timid and did not dare to park. In addition, there was a police car with its lights flashing next to it, and the police were on duty, so they didn't dare to stop. The conflict in my heart is that there are so many cars parked. Yang said, this is a local car, but we are a foreign car, so I'm afraid it won't work.

I was feeling fine, but when I looked up, I saw a camera above my head, which made me feel even more guilty. However, I saw that the cars on the other side were parked haphazardly, and the police didn't pay attention. Besides, it was raining, so it should be fine. Just pretend to be fine and comfort yourself.

The newly built Guijie gate is grand, majestic, antique, and a combination of modern construction techniques and ancient architectural styles. It seems that these are the only words that can be used to describe these things. Maybe it is because of my lack of ability. Would use more beautiful words to describe.

Guijie Street is not as lively as in a certain audio and video. There are people in twos and threes, and some shops nearby are selling hard, but there are not many customers who visit, and they all take a look at it from a distance. Perhaps due to the rainy weather, many activities were cancelled, and those who wanted to come took back their steps. I wanted to eat here, but looking around, there didn't seem to be any surprising food. Maybe it was the sparse crowd that affected our interest and made it seem ordinary.

The name of Guijie Street in Yuncheng was transferred from Beijing, and its design ideas and style were borrowed from the Tang Dynasty’s Sleepless City in Xi’an.

It is said online that this place in Yuncheng is an Internet celebrity street modeled after the Tang Dynasty Evernight City in Xi'an. The slogan was "The Evernight City in the East of Hedong" when promoting the street before its opening.

Guan Gong was originally closely connected with Yuncheng.

As I write this, when I was searching for information on the Internet, I found that I had mistaken the words gui and 第. 簋 pronounced gui and 第 pronounced gu. There is a lake in Yuncheng, called Salt Lake, which is said to be the Dead Sea in China. Yu is the salt pond. Yujie is Salt Street. It’s just that Salt Street doesn’t sell salt.

There is an Internet celebrity grilled skewers at the south entrance of Yu Street. It was said on a certain channel that it was a must-visit place, so let’s join in the fun. It seems that there are many people in front of Mu Ming. There are not people coming to the door, but in twos and threes.

I think Yu Street will eventually be like an ordinary small shop, integrating into the lives of local people. However, it also has leisure and entertainment functions, and it does not necessarily have to become an Internet celebrity or a well-known attraction.

Objectively speaking, the design of Yujie Center is exquisite and has the charm of Xi'an's Tang Dynasty Nightless City, but some of the lighting and modeling artistry are beyond Xi'an. Moreover, this is the hometown of Guan Gong, where Henan opera is spread, and it is a must-see. The former salt road. The small bridges and flowing water contain local customs and customs. However, it is limited by the construction on the ground and is not as wide and large as the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty.

We saw that there seemed to be many small shops on the south side of Yu Street, probably an old street. We both decided to go for a walk.

It really didn’t disappoint, but what I was curious about was that there were several small shops on both sides with big plate chicken signs, and they seemed to be advertised as being very authentic, and each shop seemed to be doing good business. They're all good, and they don't look like new stores.

I was curious, isn’t the large plate chicken a snack in Xinjiang? Later, I searched online and found that Dapanji is really a specialty of Yuncheng. On the basis of Xinjiang Dapanji, Yuncheng people integrated it into the local flavor and renovated it according to the local customs and hobbies. It has become a loud, delicious, and delicious dish. A widely spread delicacy.

This street is really lively. There are large shopping malls, old markets, and old food stores. Although the road is wet, there are many pedestrians. The biggest joy is that we discovered an old shop and a local delicacy. Dinner was settled, but I was unwilling to give up and wanted to move forward.

There is an unknown world ahead. Maybe there is nothing, just an ordinary street, even deserted. But how will you know if you don’t go and see. There was an old shopping mall. We went in and remembered that there were many people and it was very lively, but we couldn't buy anything because we didn't want to be a weight in our hands.

There are many food stalls on the roadside. I think cities where stalls are set up are warm cities. Although there are many problems with such small stalls, after all, it is a way of survival and life. If it is cut off, many people can only rely on coolies. After all, buying snacks is still a craft. The stalls that move every day may support several people behind them. There may be elderly parents, there may be children who are in a critical period of schooling, there may be relatives who are hospitalized and need money. If there is a mine at home, who is willing to eat and sleep in the open? It's summer nights, winter nights, late at night, the wind and rain are blowing and drenching, isn't it just to finish the meal.

Roasted gluten is sold at roadside stalls. I like to eat roasted gluten. I decided to try the grilled gluten in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and how it tastes different from the one in Xi’an. Objectively speaking, the price is about the same, but the taste is average, and there are not as many ingredients as in Xi'an. Maybe I chose the wrong kebab stall, but I don't feel like opening a new one. If the taste is not good, how can it last long?

There is an old market across the road, and there are many shops open at night. We walked in and found it very interesting. However, it was too late and we were in a hurry. I was planning to buy some pancakes from the market entrance. He was stopped by Yang.

Another major feature of Yuncheng is Malatang, which has also been improved. For example, we were attracted by Zhang Ermao's spicy skewers shop when we passed by it. There was a constant flow of people inside, and I even went inside to inspect it. It specializes in spicy skewers, including rice porridge and pancakes. There are braised chicken wings, chicken legs, etc. So when we encounter something else, we won't be very interested, and we will miss it in our hearts.

Going forward, the street lights are a little dark. We retreated. It was getting late and it was time to say goodbye. The streets are very long, there are many, and there is no way to walk them all. There are many roads, and you can't walk them all. You have to leave, or say goodbye.

We went straight to Zhang Ermao Spicy Skewers. His store has become a famous store and it is one of several chain stores here.

I entered the store and watched it for a while. What should I eat? It depends on what others eat, what we eat. There is a set menu AB on the wall. We chose set B, which includes a bowl of spicy hotpot, a small portion of spicy skewers, a pancake, and a bowl of rice soup (actually just rice porridge). The spicy hotpot is delicious and the skewers are very chewy. I feel The taste is not that amazing, but the usual taste has a long aftertaste, that is, the aftertaste is very strong, with the lingering fragrance of the raw materials, and the cooking does not submerge the natural qualities of the ingredients.

Of course, I tried it this time and still tasted delicious food. This is their pancake, which is really delicious. As a Shaanxi native who grew up eating pasta, this really shocked me. Shanxi people are really good at making noodles. Why are the pancakes so fragrant? They are even more fragrant than the pancakes I ate in Xi'an. The aroma of wheat or something else, in short, the aroma penetrates deep into the spirit and makes people happy all over. Yang also marveled at how delicious the pancakes were. In the end, we both said almost in unison, let’s buy another pancake. So I queued up and bought another pancake. The little girl at the cashier was a little surprised, why did I just buy one pancake?

On the way back, there was a small stall with a tricycle, and the stall owner was a little girl. The stuff on the car is adorable. A big plate full of soup, steaming hot, with tofu skin and other skewers in the pot. The basin is heated by a stove. I'm curious, is this an ancestral tradition? The girl's dress also looks very fashionable. She is about 20 years old. She is setting up a stall by herself or for her parents. Maybe it is the girl's livelihood! Alas, there are countless answers based on mere speculation.

We couldn’t help but buy skewers for 5 yuan. Yang said they didn’t taste as good as Zhang Ermao’s. It can be regarded as a taste of happiness, and I feel satisfied in my heart.

While walking, we came across an underground 1-yuan supermarket. The loudspeaker advertisements attracted both of us again. To be honest, the items inside are really good value, but we don’t need them for the time being, and we are torn between wanting to buy them but not wanting to buy them. But I had a great time shopping, but I just didn’t know what to buy.

We returned to Yu Street. Fengyang Flower Drum was being performed in the theater at the entrance. An actress played both daughter and mother at the same time. Her voice was crisp and beautiful. We listened to the end until the end. What a doll! Mom! Baby doll! Mom, mom! It’s interesting, I can still recall the penetrating power and sweetness of that sound.

When we returned, we took a closer look at Yu Street. The lights were on. The night of Yu Street was beautiful. The tall and mighty Guan Gong intimidated everyone. In the middle, there were flowing stone bridges, carvings, the history of salt transportation, etc. Waiting for the scenes to unfold one by one, it is worth slowly appreciating them.

A nearby fast food restaurant whose name I had never heard of played an advertisement, offering chicken drumsticks and wings for 10 yuan, attracting people to go inside. We both joined in the fun and bought three chicken drumsticks, and a bucket of drinks came out, as if we were taking advantage.

I really have to leave. When I was opening the car door, I accidentally looked to the side and saw a scone shop. Hey, I have no future. I have been eating noodles and steamed buns since I was a child. Wheat is my main food. I have almost never eaten rice since I was a child. This is why I have never changed my original intention. I just like pancakes. The hot pancakes are just baked, and they are really fragrant!

I rushed in. The shop owner was a man, making pancakes slowly, and an acquaintance next to him was chatting with him. The chopping board is next to the stove. The stove has a baking pan, which is specially used for baking pancakes. It is not an electric stove, but a charcoal stove. Their pancakes are unique. Each pancake is like a bracelet, with a hole in the middle and a ring around it that is baked golden yellow. There are also other pancakes. Just buy donut pancakes.

I hurriedly took it to the car, and we took a bite quickly, wow! Really, so delicious, so delicious. I couldn't help but make people shout out.

I thought I would spend another night in the service area and go to Tongguan, Shaanxi Province to eat meat buns tomorrow morning. But as we get closer to home, there are reports of floods in some places on the news from time to time, and it is predicted that the rain will be heavier and more intensive tomorrow. It's better to go home early, let's go! Come back! This National Day trip has come to an end, I will go back to Xi'an tomorrow to see the street scenes of Xi'an.
