Rongxian county was called Rongzhou in ancient times.
Rongzhou Ancient City is a cultural tourist attraction with Zhenwu Pavilion as the core and embroidered rivers and lakes as the link, which integrates historical, cultural and artistic experience, tourism, catering, shopping, leisure and entertainment. This is the official introduction.
When I arrived at the ancient city of Rongzhou, I realized that it was Yang Guifei's hometown. The entrance to the ancient city is a sculpture of the imperial concubine holding a round fan. Next to it is a tablet cloud: Yang Fei, from Rongzhou, is ten miles away from the city. ...
There are many controversies about Yang Guifei's birthplace. Some say it's from Shanxi, some from Sichuan, and some say it's like this:
Yang Guifei's nickname is Yu Niang, from Rongzhou. Because she was very beautiful, she was bought by the military commander Yang Kang at the age of three and raised as a adopted daughter. Another day, Yang Yan learned of the existence of Yang Guifei, thinking that it must be unusual to grow up with this female beauty, so she snatched Yang Guifei from Yang Kang. Later, Yang Yan took Yang Guifei to Chang 'an and became a longevity princess. When the story is finished, everyone will know.
Next to the sculpture, the inscription on Yang Fei, Puning County, Rongzhou reads like this.
Others say that Yang Guifei likes litchi. "The world of mortals rides a princess, and no one knows it is litchi", which also proves that she is from Guangxi.
I think it's good to listen to these harmless stories.
The ancient city is not big, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk around.
In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered all counties to be named after their famous mountains and rivers. There are famous mountains and great rivers in Tongzhou, named after it was changed to Rongzhou.
Rongzhou Mansion is one of the main buildings, with a dignified atmosphere and quite tang style.
Zhenwuge, Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower and Wangtengting are also called the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient China. Founded in 1573, it has been more than 440 years since, and it is the only ancient building that has not been rebuilt and has been completely preserved to this day. It is called the first wonder of Lingnan.
Zhenwuge was built on the economic platform built in the Tang Dynasty, and it was all composed of lattice members with tenons and mortises, using the lever principle. In particular, the four inner columns on the second floor did not touch the ground. After more than 400 years of wind and rain, it is still safe and sound, and it is an outstanding work of ancient Chinese architecture.
Zhenwuge is not luxuriously renovated. In this way, full of vicissitudes and demeanor.
In the old street, there are not many people because it is near dusk. In fact, Rong county is not a tourist city, and there are very few people who come to play, but that's it. There is no noise in the general scenic spot here, it is very quiet. Walking along the long street, there is an illusion in a trance, as if you were in the elegant and gorgeous Tang Dynasty, as if you turned around and met Li Bai and Du Fu here. ...
The people in the museum have already left work, only to see a big old banyan tree with three people hugging in the yard.
Rongzhou Kaiyuan Temple, built in the early Tang Dynasty, is one of the oldest temples in Guangxi.
Kaiyuan Temple develops along the central axis according to the regulations of ancient temple architecture in China, with the Heavenly King Hall, Mahayana Hall and Houdian as the central axis, and the Dharma Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Zhaitang Hall, the Sengliao Hall and the Jushi Building are arranged on both sides, which embodies the characteristics of the seven halls.
The air is filled with incense, and many believers will come to pay their respects.
After visiting the ancient city, I found a hotel to stay. It was getting dark, so I went out to look for food.
The imperial concubine restaurant recommended by the locals looks imposing at the door, but it is very close to the people when you walk into the lobby.
Inside is a shiny roast dog. Yulin people are famous for eating dog meat, but we have never tasted it. I don't resist others eating dog meat. After all, a place has a long history of food customs. Outsiders had better not be suspicious, but I won't eat it myself.
Dinner that day and breakfast the next day were all settled here.
I ordered several dishes, but they were local tyrants and recommended, such as fried black rice dumplings for breakfast, rolled rice rolls and mixed pork porridge.
Tips:
Although the ancient city is not big, if you happen to pass by, you can take some time to visit it. Not far from the ancient city, there is also a small town of the Republic of China, which can be packed and visited.
The ancient city is located next to the old city of Rong county, and it is convenient to eat and live around. The evening was very lively and the hotel was of good quality.
