Longtan Ancient Town

It is my favorite among the ancient towns in Chongqing, because there is no development and no business, the locals still live in the town in their own way. As for the price of a bowl of wontons, the proprietress gave a price to tourists after thinking about it. It is estimated that she regrets less. However, I can eat what the locals eat and experience the life of the locals, which is the meaning of my travel!

The ancient town of Longtan, with Longtan River and Youshui River as a commercial market town, was called "Longtanhuo, Gongtanqian" in ancient times. More than 150 fire walls isolated the ancient town into more than 200 quaint and quiet courtyards, including the famous former residence of Zhao Shiyan. Unfortunately, the former residence was not open during the epidemic and could not be visited.

Longtan Ancient Town is located in Longtan Town, Youyang, Chongqing. It is a national 4A-level scenic spot and the gateway to the East of Youdong. The scenic area of Longtan Ancient Town is dominated by Longtan Ancient Town and the former residence of Comrade Zhao Shiyan. Longtan is named after the two "longyan"-shaped water caves under Fulong Mountain, which often accumulate water. The ancient town passes between the "longan" and is shaped like a "dragon nose". Since the Shu Han Dynasty, Longtan has been the seat of "Xian Cheng", "Inspection", "Zhou Tong" and "Xian Zuo" successively, with a history of more than 1700 years. The ancient town was built along the Meishu River, with a large scale and well-preserved. Longtan Ancient Town has 1.4 square kilometers of Ming and Qing buildings, and is the best-preserved and largest ancient town in Chongqing. It is said that in Longtan, the Wang family has the right to Zhao family's wealth. The Wang Family Courtyard is located on the Jiuqiao Creek in the ancient town of Longtan. It is the former residence of the Kuomintang veteran, the secretary of the Presidential Office of Sun Yat-sen Wang Boshan, and Mrs. Qu Qiubai Wang Jianhong. During the period of the Republic of China, Wang Yanli, Wang Yansheng, and Wang Yanchao, sons of Wang Shengtai, were built and expanded into the Wang Family Courtyard. The building is very imposing and can be described as "gold and brilliant." The famous Chinese writer Ding Ling once lived here, and his novel "Meng Ke" created based on Longtan materials shocked the Chinese literary world. There are many wells in the ancient town of Longtan, and these wells are also very distinctive. The water is flowing. According to drinking → washing vegetables → washing, the three areas flow to the side channel and merge into the river. The ancient town of Longtan maintains the original residential life in the old town, without over-development and commercialization. It is keen to build antique streets and over-commercialized ancient towns everywhere in the country. The old streets here have a rare tranquility. After the tour of the ancient town, at lunch, according to the recommendations of the locals, I tasted spicy skewers and mung bean powder, which tasted good.

The ancient town of Longtan, a scenic spot that is not known to the boudoirs, has no commercial operation or commercial atmosphere. It is a complex of buildings dominated by courtyards during the Qing Dynasty. Self-driving cars can park at the visitor center, free of charge, and accommodation in the town. Very cheap and affordable.

A thousand-year-old county, uncommercialized, many ancient buildings, few people come, the train station and bus are two yuan without tickets, Youyang Railway Station to Taohuayuan is far away, it seems like an hour to take a minibus, I went to Taohuayuan , The bus to the railway station goes directly to the ancient town, and the ticket is not added. After reading the 2 yuan bus to the railway station
