Check in at Shanzhou Dikengyuan, I really learned a lot after watching.
Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles.
'An ancient village below the horizon, a living fossil in the history of residential houses.' You see trees but not the village, enter the village but not the house, enter the house but not the door, hear voices but not people, I really learned a lot after watching.
Navigation: Shanzhou Dikengyuan, after a scenic road, you will arrive.
The scenic area has a parking lot, convenient for parking. Parking fee is 10 yuan.
Ticket: 68 for adults, half price for children 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters, free for children under 1.2 meters.
Food: There is a snack street along the exit, and you can also experience the local special 'Shanzhou Ten Bowls Banquet'.
22 Dikengyuan are connected to each other, like walking in a maze. The courtyard displays folk performances and intangible cultural heritage displays, such as grass hammer printing, Shanzhou paper cutting, gong and drum books, Chengni inkstones, shadow puppetry, sugar painting, red song performances, Shanzhou special wedding customs performances, etc.
I experienced grass hammer printing and witnessed how the juice of flowers and plants is printed into a beautiful picture. It costs 20 yuan to experience printing and dyeing a small bag, and the price is not expensive.
I watched how the old lady spun a ball of cotton into silk thread, and the thread into cloth.
One of the courtyards has a mountain stove, the stove hearts are connected, according to the principle of hot air rising, nine stove holes are opened in turn, placing nine pots, and the stove temperature decreases upwards. The first fire of the mountain stove is the most vigorous, suitable for steaming and boiling. As the fire gradually weakens, it is stewing, stewing, and keeping warm in turn. The function is simply too powerful. Curious babies tiptoe to open each pot lid to see what's inside. (Of course there is no food inside)
Key points:
The Dikengyuan, also known as the 'Underground Siheyuan', is a unique local residential form of 'digging pits on the flat ground and chiseling kilns on the four walls'. The construction art has been included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Distribution of Dikengyuan: It is distributed in Shanzhou District of Sanmenxia, Henan, Yuncheng, Shanxi, Qingyang in Longdong, Gansu, and some areas of Shaanxi. The Dikengyuan was mostly built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The earliest existing courtyard that still has people living in it has a history of more than 200 years and has been lived in by more than six generations. The building quality is simply top-notch.
Architectural features: The construction cost is low, the method is unique, the shape and decoration are beautiful, and the living is comfortable. The construction process does not cost a brick or a tile; in order to prevent rainwater from pouring into the cave, a seepage well is dug in the middle of the Dikengyuan for storing seepage rainwater; in order to prevent the accumulated water around the Dikengyuan from flowing into the courtyard, there are horse-stopping walls and green tile eaves around, and at the same time prevent people from falling into the Dikengyuan.
The scenic spot has complete facilities, large scale, convenient parking, reasonable charges, and the pit courtyard is a unique building and residential house in the north. It is a precious national treasure. It should pay attention to protection and increase publicity so that more people know it.
It is worth catching up with the light show during the New Year. The only imperfect place, the road to the scenic spot is too narrow and serious traffic jams, random parking and random driving plus pedestrians passing through, I hope the government supporting services will also keep up.
It is worth a visit. It is very characteristic of the architectural style. During the Chinese New Year, the yards are decorated with lights. It is very beautiful. The pit yard is interlocked and extends in all directions. I originally had to wait until the evening to see the iron flower and the knife mountain. The result was suddenly raining. I drove away quickly. The parking lot was lined up. Waited for almost an hour... The overall health of the scenic spot is not very good, there is garbage everywhere, but this does not delay everyone's happiness during the Spring Festival.
The scenic spot is not very big, you can drive directly, you can also take the shuttle bus to the mountain, there is a light meeting during the Spring Festival, the traffic is relatively large at night, parking is convenient, and the management is poor. Can't effectively guide, there are performances in the scenic area. Buy tickets in advance can be discounted, but there is no on-site purchase. The scenic spot is not big, the exit must pass through the snack street, the snacks have no special characteristics, many are closed during the Spring Festival. The overall feeling is chaos, which may be due to the large flow of people.
Sanmenxia not only has the Yellow River Dam, but also a very beautiful pit yard, which is relatively small and few tourists, not far from the city, about 10 kilometers. The pit courtyard is different from the ordinary northern Shaanxi cave caves. It is a very large pit dug up from the top to the bottom. The pit is equivalent to a yard. There are cave caves on all sides of the yard. Each pit can be exchanged between one pit and another, and there are steps to go down from the ground. In the pit kiln, people can live, store, and even feed animals. From the ground, you can't see these pit kilns, so there is a sentence that you can't see the house in the village, and you can't hear anyone. At present, there are more than a dozen such pit kilns developed, and each pit kiln has different displays, including houses, living, farming, and some caves are used as local specialty shops. This is a characteristic house that subverts your imagination, and it is worth visiting.
A family of five went before the Spring Festival and was doing New Year decorations. Very distinctive attractions, worth seeing.
