Faint of ancient villages and towns that the Peach Garden (Photos)

����The ancient town of Longhua

The map building sensitivity

The town is triangular, abaxially appressed mountains, two rings of water, which runs through the old streets and alleys, scattered high and low, the town is very quiet. Moss, tilt house, wear light street, Yu palace stone bridges, pull the erhu man, get up early to do tofu family, her tree, barber chairs, shampoo edge, the stone basin, Riverside Diaojiaolou, handmade paper mill, Baxian Mountain was transformed into the cook in the late Tang Dynasty stone, can let a person hit the city of the old. If you drive a day, can take to the street along the top and white veil, wearing blue homespun clothes, the old lady's man.

Longhua town without any commercial atmosphere, there were a lot of old storiesLonghua town without any commercial atmosphere, there were a lot of old stories

The highest point in the town government, building from there extends to the Longxi River, 1980 in the highway will be Waduan yamen Town, has completely disappeared, the house government under the then demolished. Local villagers said, cut through the rock road-repair, was Waduan the dragon, so at the end of the 1980 age (or at the beginning of the 90's) by nemesis, a flood washed away the town of Longhua, washed away the bridge has a history of several hundred years, washed away roads have the same historical plaque, allegedly, this corridor bridge is after the cultural revolution, the only surviving in South Sichuan area. Now the bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge after the flood damage, but have a look on the plaque is more interesting, can understand the town people's feelings.

It is particularly worth mentioning is that: at the end of the 90's, highway constructed, but not easily repaired quickly down the house, young people have to river on repair houses, and soon formed a new street. A few years ago, the market also moved outside the town side of the road, from the town quiet down. Because of the remote location, relatively few, go to the people to eat, live, outsiders, parking in old town and across the river street.. perhaps these reasons, "Longhua town" tourism development is restricted, can be well preserved part of the original, of course, is also very old.

The most worth seeing in Longhua is those inscriptions, Liang Zhan, during the cultural revolution, the local people use cement mortar seal stone, just escaped, the red guards ransacked. It is said that the small town construction everywhere is a richly ornamented building, but the period of the great revolution destroyed to clean out completely, melon barrel under the eaves of the knife cut, carved lintel is split into the fire. Even the Baxian Mountain Maitreya Buddha could not escape the catastrophe, cut the poor during the Tang and Song Dynasty Buddha is 18 meters with firearms ruined face, 80's, the government allowed to burn incense and pray, Longhua devotees to the Buddha to please craftsmen repair, who knows a craftsman Leng is dignified and rich Maitreya Buddha varactor, carved into a pugnacious looks cook, Baxian Mountain Giant Buddha so completely lost the value of cultural relics. The Longhua region produces handmade coarse paper (packaging papyrus or herb points like we used), lime water immersion on the mountain to cut bamboo, wood sticks out, in paper bed, wood pulp bamboo plaited forming drying, this is Longhua paper manufacturing process, fully use Cai Lun method. In recent years, Longhua handmade paper by Taiwanese acquisitions made into "notes" to the island of sales, that the "Yin" use of money. However, because of the inability to solve the problem of pollution, handmade paper in the town of Longhua will soon be down, downtime means this ancient art completely disappeared in the town of Longhua.

The town is no noiseThe town is no noise

"Longhua town" very deep impression to me and the other side of the river the virens, that is Longhua town to the tree. Her family will children small clothes hung on the branches; for healthy people will paste small paper in the trunk, and then at the affected part burning holes cause. In short, everyone can find some spiritual sustenance in the tree. Tree roots wrapped around a stone head, is probably the leading to ancient spiritual, this is what I see in the Han areas prayer most complete votive tree, so fresh.

����Tips

1, the town of Longhua "285 km away from Chengdu, Chengdu West (128 km high-speed) - Leshan (G213 State Road 143 kilometers) - Yongfu (turn left into the gravel road 14 km) - the town of Longhua

Route 1: Chengdu - Leshan - Qianwei - Muchuan - Longhua town; Route 2: Chengdu - Yibin - Shan - Longhua town. Take the Leshan line better, high speed (not in Leshan) to five basic Wutongqiao, through to the Muchuan Road, Muchuan to Longhua is a newly built cement road, return can also go Chuancheng and Jiajiang Thousand-Buddha cliff. Unilateral way don't hurry, time of about 5 hours.

2, accommodation conditions are no problem, no tickets, by contrast, the most expensive is the oil fee and toll fee, I live in the ancient fill best "inn", standard room with bathroom, every day it is dozens of pieces of money.
