In the long river of history, the ancient city of Xingcheng is like a shining pearl, quietly telling the story of the years. With a yearning for the ancient city, I set foot on this ancient land.
Stepping into the ancient city, it seems to have traveled through time and space and returned to the prosperous years hundreds of years ago. The streets paved with bluestone slabs are simple and heavy, and every stone seems to carry the memory of history. On both sides of the street, the buildings in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered, with flying eaves, arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and antique fragrance, which makes people dazzled. Walking among them, it seems that you can hear the footsteps of the ancients and feel the temperature of history.
Walk into the bell and drum tower and climb to a high place, and you can see the whole picture of the ancient city. The four streets are staggered in a cross shape, dividing the ancient city into four areas, with a rigorous layout and ingenious planning. In the distance, the city wall is winding and the tower is majestic, telling the vicissitudes and tenacity of the ancient city. Standing upstairs, the breeze blows on your face, and the heavy sense of history is intertwined with the tranquility of modern times, which makes people feel emotional.
Walking along the city wall, touching the ancient bricks and stones, you can feel the traces of time. Outside the city wall, the moat is surrounded by sparkling water, which sets off the ancient city. In the ancient city, people leisurely shuttle between various shops, taste special snacks, and buy exquisite souvenirs. It is lively and peaceful.
Xingcheng Ancient City is not only a historical museum, but also a living cultural symbol. Here, I feel the precipitation of history and the inheritance of culture, and also experience the tenderness and beauty of time.
