Two retired sisters took their mother to travel to Gongtan Ancient Town from Wulong, Chongqing.

On April 8th, we arrived in Wulong from fairy mountain Town by CMB. This town is too noisy and has no scenery. After checking the map, we found that the nearby Jiangkou Town was worth visiting.

So we took a bus to Jiangkou Town. Staying in a hotel by the Wujiang River, the scenery by the river is very beautiful.

Get up in the morning, stand by and watch the window, breathe fresh air, listen to chickens and birds, and watch the green mountains and green waters.

Jiangkou Town, an undeveloped riverside town, is quiet, but roads and bridges have been built, and some developers are also taking action.

Breakfast is tofu pudding rice, a special snack in Jiangkou Town.

We originally planned to go to Pengshui from Jiangkou Town. But roads and bridges are built here, and long-distance buses don't pass here.

After breakfast, we drove back to Wulong County. We broke up with that little girl in Wulong. She took the train to Chongqing and then transferred to Tianjin. 1 o'clock We arrived at Pengshui County by bus.

In order to catch the boat to Gongtan Ancient Town, we took a taxi from Pengshui to Wanzu Ferry, but we still missed the boat.

There are very few people here, just the three of us, and we haven't found the legendary ferry on the Internet.

They don't drive large cruise ships unless the tour group chartered a car to see the "Shili Gallery".

It's getting late, so we have to beg the taxi driver to take us to a place where people live.

So we came to xiaohe village halfway up the mountain.

Compared with Jiangkou Town, there are fewer people here and there are no hotels. Only the village party secretary can stay at home.

It is too late. We don't want to go back to Pengshui County, so we have to stay here.

This is a quiet small village. It turns out that they all live at the foot of the mountain. Because of Wujiang Power Station, their home was flooded. The whole village emigrated halfway up the mountain.

We walked along the road the next morning? ♀? Go straight to the end, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the villagers are simple.

This 86-year-old woman, older than her mother, is still struggling for a living, carrying hundreds of kilograms of pig grass home from the mountain.

My sister and I thought the old lady had worked hard, so we gave her a lift.

I carried nearly a hundred catties of pig grass on my back, and I couldn't walk for a while. It's hard to think of an 86-year-old woman.

Today is a difficult day. Because I missed the cruise to Gongtan yesterday, I had to stay in xiaohe village for one night.

It began to rain in the morning. Without tourists, the cruise ship will not take us to Gongtan.

Going to the foot of the mountain is also very slim, so we have to take a bus back to Pengshui County from the village.

When we arrived in Pengshui County, the first long-distance bus to Gongtan had already left. We bought a ticket for 1 1:30, thinking that we would drive after 1 hour.

I didn't expect the small and flexible county town, because there were too few passengers, the bus was postponed until the evening 1.

The coach traveled along the banks of the Wujiang River, bumping all the way, and soon got off at the landslide site.

Finally, at 3 pm, I arrived at the long-awaited destination-Gongtan Ancient Town.

Although it is still raining lightly, the beautiful Yanbo Mountain and water are happy for your arrival.

Do stay in this picturesque riverside town for a few more days.

Gongtan Ancient Town is located at the intersection of Wujiang River and Apeng River, facing Yanhe County of Guizhou Province across the river, and is the starting point of "Thousand Miles Wujiang River, Hundred Miles Gallery" in Youyang County.

We stayed in a family hotel by the river, standing on the balcony in the morning, breathing natural oxygen bar and doing exercise.

Watching the landlord's aloe blossom, I couldn't help but pick up my mobile phone and pat it.

Fairyland on earth, today is full of smoke and rain.

Gongtan Ancient Town is a famous historical and cultural town in China and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Known as "the core scenic spot of Wujiang Gallery", it is a bright pearl on Wujiang River.

There is a love story in this Jia Ranchang. Behind the house are two quadrangles, one is Ran and the other is Yang.

Ran's family has a nemesis, and Yang's family has a Bizka. They are childhood friends, and they have a crush on each other.

However, due to the family concept at that time, the two were not suitable.

As a result, one person has never been married, and one person has never been married. Later generations called this place Yuanyang Building.

The ancient town of Gongtan originated in Shu-Han period.

The establishment of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period belongs to Fuling County. Governance is located in Gongtan Town, Youyang County today.

Today's "Gongtan Ancient Town" is located at the junction of Youyang County in Chongqing, Pengshui County and Yanhe County in Guizhou Province.

Gongtan ancient town is a thousand-year-old town that has experienced vicissitudes. 1, 700 years ago, Fenghuang Mountain collapsed and debris flow rushed into Wujiang River, forming a river beach.

During the Three Kingdoms and the Tang Dynasty, small towns gradually formed, and ships from Chongqing and Fuling ran aground here, forming a large number of trackers to carry fibers here and embarked on the road of trackers.

During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, many salt merchants gathered here, and the town gradually prospered. "Gongtan Ancient Town" is the first of the top ten ancient towns in Chongqing, bearing the inheritance of history and culture.

In 2006, Datang Telecom stopped a dam to build a power station in the lower reaches of Wujiang River. The ancient town of China with a thousand years of history and culture will sink to the bottom of the river forever.

After three years of overall relocation, a new retro town was built here in 2009.

During Guangxu period, Zhang Pengjiu, a businessman from Shaanxi Province, came to Gongtan to open a salt shop for the first time, and personally built the "Xiqin Guild Hall", which was a symbol of Gongtan's progress towards a modern commodity economy.

At noon, my sister and I were full and had nothing to do. We went shopping by the Wujiang River. Shout across the river!

A ferryman came and took us across the river.

This is the border of Xinjing Township, Tongren District, Guizhou Province.

Xinjing township government ferries here, and eldest brother and his wife have been operating here for more than ten years.

We came by boat, each in 2 yuan. Brother Ferry has many beautiful root carvings at home, and selling root carvings is also part of their business income.

On the top of the mountain here, I heard that there is a stockade for 60 families.

We are determined to climb to the top of the mountain to see those families.

But it's raining these days, and the mountain road is too slippery. We didn't wear non-slip hiking shoes. Halfway up the hill, it was getting dark and we had to give up halfway.

Standing in the depths of this remote mountain and looking at the bustling villages on the other side, there are two worlds.

This side is still a poor mountainous area with a vast territory and a sparsely populated area, and there is already a prosperous township.

The purpose of the government to open the ferry is to solve the traffic problem of children in mountainous areas here when they go to school.

More than 60 families on the top of the mountain, children from Guizhou Province, are studying in the primary school in Gongtan Ancient Town.

When I took the ferry back to Gongtan ancient town in the evening, I happened to catch up with a group of children living on the opposite mountain after school. They take the ferry for free.

We stood on the shore and watched them climb the opposite mountain where we had just come down.

We had a great effort to reach the top of the mountain. In less than ten minutes, all the children in these mountains disappeared halfway up the mountain.

Tomorrow we will leave Gongtan Ancient Town and take a long-distance bus to Fenghuang Ancient Town. ...
