My travel diary Yishuhe Ancient Town Style Tour

# Summer Growth Plan#

After resting for a day in the ancient city, my high fever improved. I checked the travel guide of Shuhe Ancient Town in the evening and found that Shuhe Ancient Town It is only seven or eight kilometers away from the ancient city. It is best to go by bus. It saves money and is convenient. You only need to transfer at the same station halfway, which costs 4 yuan per person. We just happened to be going to Lijiang People's Hospital for a nucleic acid test. After taking the nucleic acid test, you can take the bus at the bus stop opposite the hospital.

Early the next morning, we followed the guide and successfully got on the No. 11 bus after the nucleic acid test, and then transferred to the No. 6 bus. The journey took about 40 minutes, around nine o'clock. We arrived at Shuhe Ancient Town, followed the navigation and walked about 200 meters to the gate of Shuhe Ancient Town. I checked the guide before and said that we need to buy tickets for 30 yuan/person, but when we arrived, we found that no one was selling tickets, there was only one The volunteer asked to scan the health code and itinerary card before entering.

After entering, I found that the streets in Shuhe Ancient Town are similar to those in Lijiang Ancient Town, with the same bluestone roads, the same flowers in every house, and running water in every household. However, the scale of Shuhe Ancient Town is larger than that of Dayan Ancient Town. It is small, but Shuhe Ancient Town is older than Dayan, because Shuhe is the birthplace of Mu clan chieftain before building Lijiang Ancient City, and it is also the earliest settlement of the Naxi ancestors, with a history of more than a thousand years. .

Sifang Street in Shuhe Ancient Town has a similar layout to the ancient city, but is smaller. When we first went there, there were a lot of people taking pictures, so we walked forward. At about ten o'clock, we arrived at Qinglong Bridge. There were three newlyweds taking wedding photos. There were a lot of people. I don’t know what effect they would get if they crowded together on the bridge.

Qinglong Bridge is the most important landmark building in Shuhe Ancient Town. It was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is said that its central axis faces the west Jubao Mountain was designed by Chieftain Mu. The entire bridge is made of stones. It is 25 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 4 meters high. Legend has it that an immortal once crossed from the Qinglong Bridge to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and became an immortal. On the bridge There were immortal footprints on the bridge. I looked for them on the bridge and saw only a groove in the middle. I didn’t know if they were immortal footprints.

After getting off the Qinglong Bridge, I saw a map of the Ancient Tea Horse Road engraved on a wall. Shuhe Ancient Town is an important well-preserved market town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is also the "Hometown of Leather" in Lijiang. Due to the development of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, demand for various commodities arose. In the Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Mu hired a group of craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River and settled in Shuhe. Since then, it has become a famous "Cobbler's Village".

After walking along the Tea Horse Road, we walked 100 meters north along Shuhe Street and came to the "Jiuding Longtan", the source of the stream at the foot of Longquan Mountain. At the foot of Longquan Mountain, there are towering ancient trees and a mountain spring. The "Nine-Tripod Dragon Pond" has crystal clear water and green water plants. It is regarded as a sacred spring by the local people. There is a temple at the top of the Long Pond called "Sansheng Palace". The west hall is dedicated to Guanyin, the north tower is dedicated to the Dragon King, and the south tower is dedicated to the Dragon King. Sun Bin, the founder of cobbler.

The reflection of the trees in the pool near Longtan is very similar to the water in Jiuzhaigou Valley, the same green and clear.

After visiting the "Nine-Tripod Dragon Pond", we walked south again and wanted to visit the "Shilian Temple" where Shilian read at night. After walking for more than a kilometer, we came to a building with the words "Shilian Temple" written on it. "In front of the cliff entering from here, we found a path on the cliff. The road was full of dead branches and leaves. We thought that since we were here, we might as well go up and have a look. After climbing many steps, we saw a "stone" built on the cliff. The gate of Lotus Temple was closed, and a note said the foundation was subsidence, so visitors stopped.

After coming down from Shilian Temple, we walked back. Due to the epidemic, many shops and inns in Shuhe Ancient Town were also closed. I really hope that the epidemic will end soon.
