1. The ancient town of Laitan should actually be called Laitan Ancient Village. It has been more than 200 years now. How to find a story that the air is still a little damp by walking deep into an old yellowed photo. According to local people, in order to prevent Taiping Army from entering Sichuan and Li and Lan Uprising, Laitan carried out large-scale reinforcement and maintenance during Tongzhi period, and built stone defense facilities around the whole ancient village. Today, this stone wall is still strong enough to prove that history. Laitan Village covers 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, which is very strong. There are also 200-meter-long bluestone streets and more than 400 houses in Qing Dynasty in Sene. 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.
2. Zhongshan Ancient Town, commonly known as Sanhechang, also known as Longdongchang, is located in the southern mountainous area of Jiangjin City, about one and a half hours' drive from Chongqing downtown 125 km, and is connected with Simian Mountain, a national scenic spot. The back of the ancient town faces the water, and the buildings of the town are built by the water, which is connected by three small streets: Longdong, Huangzhongba and Gaoshengqiao. In the past, Sanhechang used to be a bustling water pier and a commodity distribution center in Sichuan and Guizhou mountainous areas. At present, there are still 82 words carved in the Southern Song Dynasty, describing the boating trip of Li Jiyong and the fish fairy, as well as the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, Pipa Rock.
The shops in the ancient town are the most representative buildings. The vertical length of the commercial street formed by the mountain is more than 1000 meters, and almost all the buildings crossing the street in the wind and rain field are "closed" buildings that can shelter from the wind and rain, giving full consideration to the characteristics of rain and shine in eastern Sichuan. Most buildings are two-story "diaojiao building", the lower floor is paved, and people can live upstairs. The paved bay is large and easy to combine; The whole ancient town is paved with blue tiles, red paint boards and bamboo sticks sandwiched between load-bearing wall columns, revealing the original charm of Bayu people in simplicity and dignity.
There are 209 families living in the ancient town, and traditional folk commercial formats such as blacksmith shop, Chinese medicine shop and barber shop still exist. At this moment, the warm sun at the end of winter shines obliquely into the narrow old street, plating a touch of gold on the dark corner of the street, and the ancient town suddenly becomes full of vitality. Walking in Catherine's old streets paved with bluestone slabs, the passing wind is filled with the fragrance of herbs from time to time. The splash of fire and the tinkling of iron in the blacksmith's shop complement each other and have an artistic atmosphere that needs no carving. The white-haired old man with shaved head under the eaves of the street is carefree, like an oil painting, which sets off the unique picture of living and working in peace and contentment in the ancient town. Zhongshan Town, located in Jiangjin County, Chongqing, is one of the top ten ancient towns in Chongqing. The ancient town was built by the river, much like the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but it formed a narrow old lane three kilometers long. Both sides are dominated by Qing Dynasty buildings, which are very well preserved. The bluestone road on the ground gives people a feeling of simplicity and harmony.
3.5 kilometers away from the ancient town, there is a reservoir called Longdong Reservoir, which is a local hydropower station. The water quality of the reservoir is average, not wide but long. Not far from the shore, the water is shallow and the river sand is soft, which is very suitable for swimming and leisure.
