Laitan Ancient Town:

Laitan Ancient Town, a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot, located 28km northeast of Hechuan District, was founded in Song Dynasty. It is the first batch of famous historical and cultural towns in China, one of the top ten ancient towns in China and the first batch of "the most beautiful villages and towns in China". On June 15, 20 10, Laitan Ancient Town Scenic Spot was officially approved as a national AAAA(4A) scenic spot by the National Tourism Administration.

Laitan Ancient Town should actually be called Laitan Ancient Village, located 28 kilometers northeast of Hechuan District, Chongqing. Laitan Ancient Town, founded in Song Dynasty, is one of the first historical and cultural towns in China, one of the top ten ancient towns in China, and the first batch of "the most beautiful villages and towns in China". There are three cliffs in the ancient village, and there is a tendency that "one person guards it and ten thousand people can't force it". In the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, there was only one urn built in Chongqing, and there were four hidden soldiers caves in the city, which had the effect of closing the door to beat dogs and catching turtles in a jar to guard against the enemy. Wenchang Palace, a Qing dynasty building, is well preserved, and the woodcut relief of the outer column of the ancient theater is amazing.

The ancient village was built in Xianfeng period, with a history of more than 200 years and an area of 0.25 square kilometers. The four gates are crossed and symmetrical, and the walls in the village are all made of stones more than half a meter long, with a height of 7 meters and a width of 2.5 meters. In order to prevent Taiping troops from entering Sichuan and Li and Lan uprisings, Tongzhi carried out a large-scale reinforcement and maintenance, and built stone defense facilities around the entire ancient village, which are still strong. There are more than 400 Xiaoqing tile houses in the ancient town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the bluestone alleys of more than 200 meters are simple and elegant, basically maintaining the original features of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a Taiping pool for fire fighting in the street inside Xiaozhaimen, inscribed with "the first year of Tongzhi".

The three-step ladder is a narrow street, which is formed by an integral stone dam. It is an ancient witness that the footprints of past dynasties have gone out of the road. There are also sites such as Huilongguan and Zhangye Temple and beautiful legends of Jiuguan and 18 temples in the town. Looking back at the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, Laitan was once a famous water pier. Because it was close to Qujiang and benefited from ships, merchants gathered and the market was prosperous. Looking back through just visiting, I returned to the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. Because it is close to Qujiang, it is good for boating. Bed beach is also a famous water pier, which can attract businessmen when there is water. At that time, merchants gathered in Laitan Village, and the market was prosperous and very prosperous. The two Buddhist temples built on the mountain were also treasures of geomantic omen.
