Visit Taiyuan ancient county

Yesterday, we made a free appointment to visit the "Ancient County of Taiyuan" scenic spot on WeChat official account. At 8: 30 this morning, we set off from home and drove to visit the ancient county of Taiyuan.

Taiyuan Ancient County is located in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, and is connected with Jinci, Tianlong Mountain, Longshan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, Jinyang Lake and other scenic spots. After half an hour's drive, I arrived at my destination. Parking in the scenic spot is very convenient and the parking lot is large enough. Parking fee 10 yuan/time.

The present ancient county town of Taiyuan was rebuilt on the site of Taiyuan county town in Ming Dynasty, and was built at 1375. Construction started on 20 13 and will be basically completed in 2020. The overall pattern is like a phoenix flying high, running through the north and south, so it is commonly known as Phoenix. The Phoenix, which cost more than/kloc-0.00 billion yuan and was repaired for eight years, officially opened in Kaesong on May/kloc-0.38.

We enter the scenic spot from the East Gate and walk along the East Street. Looking around, there are no high-rise buildings, and there are green hills in the distance. In front of us are antique and grounded blue brick houses, ancient double-door wooden doors, pavilions, wooden archways, wooden carts, rickshaws and carriages, which seem to be in the Ming and Qing counties.

The first scenic spot on East Street is Kuixing Building. It is said that this is a special place for Shen Kuixing. He is in charge of literary and artistic movements, grasps the rise and fall of articles, and holds a pen in his right hand. Whoever this pen points to is the high school champion. Therefore, all students who take the exam should worship Kuixing and look forward to the high school red list. Kuixing Building is four stories high and hexagonal, with bells hanging on the corners. As soon as the wind blows, the bell makes a clear sound, as if sending a message to the gods.

Then, pass by the Confucian Temple. Confucius Temple is a temple dedicated to Kong Qiu, a master of literature. This is a huge Confucian building complex with Zhaobi and Lingxing Gate on the central axis. It is said that Confucius and his seventy-two disciples are both literary stars, and they are also in charge of literary transportation. Now these temples are still under repair.

Further on, there are tea gardens, drum towers, county offices, snack streets, and shops that operate all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is a loom experience store. There was a loom at home when I was a child. The picture of my mother sitting in front of the loom, shuttling the silk thread, and the sound made by the loom can still be clearly seen in my mind.

Further west, I saw the Jade Emperor Temple, a temple dedicated to the Jade Emperor, with sky-blue glazed tiles on the roof. The temple is temporarily closed.

In the street, some people take an ancient carriage to see the scenery, and the red inlaid carriage looks a bit luxurious.

I walked all the way from the central axis to the west gate, and now I see a girl at the city gate. I asked her if she could climb the wall from now on, and she told me that I needed to climb the wall from the south gate.

So, we walked from west to east from another street in the north, and then went south, passing the Bell Tower, Guandi Temple (closed), Drum Tower, and a model museum of ancient buildings in China, which contained a tall bronze statue of Lu Ban.

Walking south along the Cross Street, we came to the door of Cheng Nan Building. We also need to buy tickets to climb the city wall. Ticket price 30 yuan/person. We bought two tickets and climbed the city wall.

We walked on the wall overlooking the ancient county. The blue sky and white clouds give you a panoramic view of the county. In these ancient bungalows, a very unique western-style church was found.

Without the block of tall buildings, how wide the field of vision is and how fresh the air is. If you can live in such a house, how grounded it is.

There are grooves on the wall, called crib mouth, which have the function of archery and overlooking; There are also rectangular holes on each battlement, called lookout holes, which can also be used for archery; I also saw the urn, which is an upgraded defense building of the city wall. If you face the attack of the city gate, you must attack the urn first, and you will have a chance to see the city gate when you enter the urn.

Seeing the military defense buildings on the wall, I saw the pictures of siege in ancient film and television dramas: soldiers guarding the city on the wall shot at the soldiers who besieged the city, and the soldiers who besieged the city were shot to death by arrows; Soldiers guarding the city will also roll heavy objects such as wooden stones at the attackers in the urn to prevent them from breaking into the city gate.

There are also many small two-story buildings on the city wall, which are used to station troops, collect grain and collect weapons. You can also observe the enemy and shoot from the arrow window. It can also play a role in transmitting information.

There is a moat outside the city wall, and large reeds grow in the river. The water in the moat flows slowly, which can not only prevent the enemy's fire attack, but also meet the needs of water use in the city.

We walked around the city wall, and then went to the snack street to look for delicious food. Datong has Daoxiao Noodles, noodles and mutton soup noodles. All snacks, no cooking. We finally chose the donkey meat roast and ordered a pot of meat soup, which cost them 100 yuan.

It's already one o'clock noon after dinner. I'll drive back.
