Zhouzi Ancient Town

#大陆旅游 The morning in the ancient town is so quiet that it seems isolated from the world. Zhouzi Ancient Town also engages in tourism, but on weekday mornings, there are almost no customers and most shops are closed. Even if there are tourists during the peak season, the local specialty fried dough twists and dried tofu cannot support too many people, so young people have fled. Those who stroll slowly on the cobblestone street or sit in front of the door and chat are almost all elderly people. The clothes they wear are older than their grandchildren. The wrinkles on their foreheads are as deep as the gaps between the roof tiles. Stories and vicissitudes of life flow on their brows. Older than them are the houses. The well-arranged dwellings still maintain the Ming and Qing style of through-beam wooden structures. Most of them are over 100 years old. Every door panel has witnessed the joys and sorrows of several generations, and every stone step has recorded the process of the homeowner from babbling to toddling. The spirit cultivated by generations and the charm accumulated over thousands of years fill the streets and alleys. Tourists wandering among them feel as if they are cruising in the long river of time. One side of Zhouzi Ancient Town is adjacent to the river, and the only God of Wealth Building on the thousand-mile Jialing River is built on the riverside; it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountain is Longjiao Mountain. On the mountain, the banyan branches that were casually planted by the Red Army when fighting the enemy have now grown into towering trees, and the Longjiao Temple that was burned down by the war has also been reborn. In the afternoon, the ancient town becomes lively. After lunch and a good sleep, the energetic older generation turned the ancient town into a battlefield.
