The ancient city that Xichang finally owned, although it has not been repaired completely, but having such a place is really good for me. The epidemic is too serious, otherwise I hope to go shopping every day, drink tea and eat some special snacks, and take a few photos!
Local Xichang people, the fare of Chengmendong (Datongmen) has not risen for more than 20 years, and the taste of braised vegetables in the four arches is not as good as before. Years flow, the ancient cockroaches on the walls are getting stronger.
The ancient city of Xichang is newly renovated and very beautiful, especially at night. This ancient city is very popular. Every day, many citizens and foreign tourists visit it. There are many special dining in the ancient city to meet the needs of tourists. The traffic is also very convenient and worth visiting many times.
Yes, especially the few trees on the city wall, I have to marvel at the strong vitality! The ancient city is not small and crisscrossed. The ancient city under the lights at night is particularly beautiful.
