Historic Town | Laitan Ancient Town

| Laitan Ancient Town. The writer Sanmao once said: Some people will always be engraved in memory, even if you forget his voice, forget his smile, forget his face, but the feeling when you think of him, will never change. I have been searching all my life, longing all my life, this feeling can't be eliminated. The figure who just lowered his eyebrows and raised his heart, led my pen to Laitan. Laitan Ancient Town is not big, the area is only 0.25 square kilometers. There are cliffs on three sides here, and water on one side, with the dangerous situation of 'one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through'. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, due to the convenience of the Qujiang River, the advantage of boats, Laitan gathered merchants for a while, the market was prosperous, the business was prosperous, and it became a famous wharf in the middle and lower reaches of the Jialing River. At the same time, the Erfo Temple built by the mountain also has constant incense, and it was very prosperous at one time. Laitan Ancient Town is composed of Shangchang and Xiachang, which are close to each other. The two are high and low, up and down, rigid and soft, and complement each other. Shangchang is located on Jufeng Mountain overlooking Qujiang, its momentum is majestic, magnificent and masculine, the fortress is high, the dragon is coiled and the tiger is lying. Sanmao said: I smile, then my face is like a spring flower, it must be able to move people, no matter who he is. Laitan is the same, it is worth relying on, just like what Sanmao said will never change.
