Come to Tengchong, Heshun ancient town is a big attraction that can't be missed. You can play all year round, and there is not much seasonal difference. Many tourists choose to live in an ancient town with a slightly expensive house price, which is convenient for wandering around the town. In fact, the ancient town is not far from the city. If you order takeout at Guzhen Inn, you have to deliver it from downtown.

The ancient town is not too big, but it is very tiring to walk around the town, because Heshun is an ancient town built in the Ming Dynasty with more than 600 years of history and culture. Most of the local Han people are descendants of Sichuanese, Jiangnan people and Zhongyuan people who came to Yunnan to engage in military and civilian villages in the early Ming Dynasty. The whole ancient town was built on a hillside. While visiting the old buildings, you must also experience the enjoyment from top to bottom. Fortunately, there are not many steps, all of which are undulating ramps.

What are the scenic spots in Heshun Ancient Town?

A few family ancestral temple

There are several big surnames in Heshun Ancient Town, and each surname has its own culture and inheritance. From Li's ancestral hall to Liu's ancestral hall with exquisite connotation, to the ancestral hall where a jade shop is hidden, and to Zhang's ancestral hall, which is temporarily closed to the public, we can see the rigorous family instructions and the tradition of inheriting Confucian culture in the Central Plains.

In the new era, the power of ancestral hall leaders is not so great, but because most of their ancestors came from the Central Plains, their attachment to the clan still exists. In order to preserve the cultural heritage of each surname, they still have spiritual sustenance for their ancestors in the Central Plains. This is also the reason why most border town immigrants and overseas Chinese are extremely enthusiastic about "building ancestral halls". After all, there are far more shunren living overseas than those staying here.

Ai Siqi Memorial Hall

Ai Siqi, formerly known as Li Shengxuan, has a distinguished family background. His father was an old soldier of the Revolution of 1911, and he himself was an excellent Marxist philosopher. The memorial hall is his former residence and a typical local building. The exterior wall is brick-concrete structure, and the buildings inside are all wood structures. There are many relics, old photos and letters of Chairman Mao in the memorial hall. Now it has become an educational base for primary and secondary school students around.

Heshun Library

Heshun Library is one of the largest rural libraries in China. It was founded by overseas Chinese on 1924. From the architectural style, you can feel very obvious exotic customs. Next to the library is Wenchang Palace, which combines the religious beliefs of spreading modern knowledge and protecting knowledge. Very grounded! The phrase "the fountain of people's wisdom" in front of the library is also very touching. Shun people have been going out for generations, no matter where they go, they must have culture, nationality and family, so that they can have greater development.

Yeyahu

The scenery of Heshun Wild Duck Lake is quite pleasant. In addition to several ancestral temples and temples around, there are large waterwheels similar to Old Town of Lijiang, and charming pavilions in the middle of the lake. Many tourists shuttle back and forth along the stone bridge, and the green and quiet water in front of them is really like a huge and exquisite jade.

Gong Ming Cai Shen cultural area

The temples in Heshun are distributed in every corner of the ancient town. The God of Wealth Temple is very close to my inn, with a high position and a good view, but it is slightly shabby. There are two statues of the god of wealth in the hall. Outside the main hall, there are staff members who collect incense money from believers who come to visit. I really don't know where these offerings went. I feel sad when I look at the fallen board on the stage at the door.

Qianshou Guanyin ancient tree group

This scenic spot is not big, it is near Zhang Ancestral Hall, but those ancient trees with crooked branches are really beautiful. It is said that these branches extending upward and outward are like avalokitesvara with a thousand hands, and they do have that taste.

Heshun lane

Heshun used to be a border town of garrison, a caravan town and the only place where the ancient Silk Road passed. Later, "going abroad" created her genes for various developments. Heshun Hutong, which you can see when you enter the main entrance of the ancient town, is a platform for the scenic spot management company to better show the charm of Heshun ancient town to tourists.

There is also "Company commanders mansion", which was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty from the former residence of Zhang Songlin, the chief commander of Wei Zhen, a first-class official. There are Yunnan Merchants Pavilion, Tea House, Shadow Play Pavilion, Wood Carving Pavilion, and Ancient Paper Making Pavilion. Tell the story of caravan culture. There are laundry kiosks, century-old workshops with unique local culture, cafes and small bars for tourists to relax. It can be said that it is the center of the whole scenic spot, but it is also very commercial.

The wetland park next to Heshun Lane is also worth a visit. You can swim in the wetland in a wooden boat with paddles. A few steps ahead is the endless field scenery. Standing on the ridge and watching the sunset in the clouds in the distance, there is really a leisurely feeling of returning to nature.

In short, "harmony" and "harmony" have always been the requirements of the rulers for the people. This ancient town is so famous that it will have a bright future. To enter some of the above cultural attractions, you need to show the tickets of the ancient town! Although if you go to town late, you can avoid the ticket inspector, but if you want to visit more places.
