Where is fun in Ya 'an, Sichuan?

Shangli Town is located in the north of Yucheng District, Ya 'an City, 27km away from the urban area, at the junction of four counties, with famous mountains in the east, Qionglai and Lushan and Yucheng in the west. It is a famous historical and cultural town in Sichuan and one of the "Top Ten Ancient Towns" in Sichuan Province.

ancient town

the ancient town is built around Ershui, facing the field hills, and is in harmony with the surrounding ancient owners, bamboo-repairing, streams and ancient bridges. The quaint buildings in the town are strewn at random, with different styles, paved with stone slabs and wooden houses. The layout of the market is mainly "well", which means "there is water in the well" to prevent fire. Overlooking is like watching an ancient picture scroll; In the meantime, there is another feeling of going back in time to the past, as if you were in the world.

Ancient Bridges

There are more than ten ancient bridges with different shapes, which are 1 km upstream from the ancient town along the river. These bridges are not only the passages from south to north, but also reproduce the history of the ancient town and the skills of craftsmen. Among them, the most representative ones are "Erxian Bridge" (a single-hole long-span stone arch bridge) in Qingganlong for 41 years and "overpass" in Qingganlong for 14 years (the only way to enter the ancient town)

Ancient Pagoda

The ancient pagodas in Shangli are divided into Wenfeng Pagoda (also known as font library), Jianqiao Pagoda, Yaowang Pagoda and stupa. It is a symbolic building that reflects the prosperity of politics, economy, history, culture and art in Shangli Town.

Ancient archways

There are still three stone archways in the ancient town, namely "Shuangjiexiao" stone archway, a provincial protection unit; Municipal cultural Chen's "Nine Living Together" and Chen's "Chastity" archway.

Ancient Springs

White Horse Spring and Penzhu Springs are unique scenic spots in the ancient town, and they are known as "beautiful scenery in Yazhou and wonderful scenery in Er Quan". White Horse Spring's ancient name "Longyuan" is a constant-temperature geyser all the year round, which is named after the sound of horseshoes can be heard at ebb and flow. Spray Pearl Spring, 1 meters away from White Horse Spring, has three characters of "Spray Pearl Spring" written by Huang Yunhe, the prefect of Yazhou in Qing Dynasty. The spring water in Gaiquan is not dry all year round, and pearl-like balloons can be seen spraying from the bottom of the pool at any time in the crystal-clear spring pool.

Hanjia Courtyard

There are two well-preserved Hanjia buildings, one in Sijia Village and the other in the ancient town. The courtyard was built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and the sculpture in the courtyard was completed by three generations. The sculpture content is based on the Sichuan opera and historical allusions, and its unique mosaic carving technology is really a local must.

Stone Carvings of the Red Army

From June p>1935 to February 26, 1936, the Red Army passed by Davy and the Red Fourth Army in Jiajin Mountains. On the one hand, the Red Army continued to go north, while the Fourth Army went south because of the wrong route. On November 12, 1935, the Red Army liberated Shangli again. After the Red Army went north, the people used mud and lime to protect the slogans of the four political departments (earnest, sincere, ziguang and Chongan), and after liberation, the covers were removed and the slogans were restored to their original appearance. There are still dozens of red army stone slogans in the ancient town, most of which are concentrated in the ancient town, forming a "red army corridor", which is the ideal place for future generations to take the red army road again and appreciate the red army culture.
