Xi'an Surrounding Tour∣"Morning in Qin and Evening in Chu", check in at Manchuanguan

👍Most recommended: Manchuanguan is located deep in the Qinling Mountains, on the north side of the border between Shaanxi and Hubei, 55 kilometers away from Shanyang County. It was known as Fengyangguan in ancient times and was a key point between Qin and Chu. The allusion "Morning in Qin and Evening in Chu" originated from here. 🌟Highlight features: In ancient times, Manchuanguan's water and land wharfs were connected to all places, with prosperous business and dense population, "Water wharf with hundreds of boats, land wharf with thousands of hooves". Now it mainly focuses on the development of tourism. The core of the ancient town is a street with two stages and three guild halls. The street is the old street of the ancient town, from north to south, they are Upper Street, Middle Street, and Lower Street. The Upper Street is also known as Qin Street, and the Lower Street is also known as Chu Street. The two stages, also known as Double Stage or Mandarin Duck Stage, were built in the Qing Dynasty. It consists of two same-direction stages, a southern-style stage and a northern-style stage, which is the only existing double stage in China. The three guild halls refer to the Mule Guild Hall, North Guild Hall, and Wuchang Guild Hall, a row of ancient buildings, opposite the Double Stage, blending the architectural styles of the north and the south, fully reflecting the prosperous water and land trade and the gathering of merchants in the ancient town at that time. ❤Recommended reason: Walking through the ancient town, the oncoming breeze seems to be mixed with a bit of historical heaviness. The faded green bricks and tiles reveal vicissitudes, and the mottled walls make every old house full of stories. In the late autumn of the ancient town, the sun seems particularly gentle and moving. In the small alley of bluestone, the old house and the cooking smoke blend into a leisurely and elegant ink painting.
