In March, I invited my friends to Zigong to watch the lanterns, and found a good place on the way, which is Xianshi Ancient Town. It takes only half an hour to drive from Zigong City. What comes into view is quietness. The ancient town is not big, there are not many people, and an ancient street runs through the town, but it has a history of thousands of years. It is the salt wharf of Zigong. Historically, most of the salt produced in Zigong was transported from this place to other places. Our group strolled on the streets of the ancient town, stepping on the somewhat bumpy bluestone road, as if walking on the bookmarks of history. The small blue-tiled houses built along the streets on both sides are typical buildings in southern Sichuan. Some mottled walls seem to be silently narrating the former prosperity. Crossing the ancient street and coming to the wharf, a winding river passes around the town. We strolled along the ancient salt transport road by the river and came to a big banyan tree to drink tea and enjoy a leisurely time. Unknowingly, most of the day had passed, so we found a hotel to stay and slowly savored the taste of the ancient town. Thousand-year-old salt wharf, century-old ancient town. Goodbye, Xianshi Ancient Town, I will definitely come back when I have time!
