Dream & Freedom: furong town, Western Hunan (2)

This tourist route: Changde-Xiangxi furong town-Chadong Ancient Town in Border Town.

Although Xiangxi has been to Fenghuang Ancient Town several times and twice, furong town just passed by because he was in a hurry. I have always felt that such a quiet town is suitable for living quietly for a period of time with meager luggage and the most abundant self. I have been longing for it, and it has finally come true.

Furong town, also known as Wangcun, is an ancient town with a history of more than 2,000 years. The magnificent waterfall passes through here. It is also known as "a thousand-year-old town hanging on a waterfall". Because the film furong town starring Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing was shot here, it was renamed furong town? Furong town has not been over-commercialized, and its unique cultural atmosphere is still preserved throughout the ancient town. The quaint Tujia diaojiao building, shiny bluestone alleys and shocking waterfalls all make people linger. ?

Traffic route:

Changde Bus Terminal-Yongshun 85 yuan for four and a half hours, then transfer to Green minibus Yongshun-25 yuan, furong town 100 minutes. After getting off the bus, change to a minibus and go to Sanjiaoping 2 yuan (why is it a minibus? It's really not like a bus I was looking for a car when I got off the minibus. I really didn't see it, so I asked the owner of the small restaurant, so the boss pointed to the minibus in front of me and said, "No, it's the green one." I just found out that it is

Accommodation:

I booked in advance where to meet the youth hostel, the only youth hostel in town. When I arrived at Sanjiaoping, I opened the Baidu map and turned left and right in the alley of the town, because there was no sign waiting for the boss to pick me up. The little friend who came to furong town lived here (furong town, Xiangxi met 35 yuan, the bed room of the youth brigade, 30 yuan, the tent room, and the boss was very talkative).

Furong town Day: 1

A youth hostel is an apartment-style house. On the second floor, the whole youth brigade is just me and my boss. He left me the key when he went to the ancient town to set up a stall, which made me feel at home.

The boss is also a backpacker, called Junko, who has been to many places. People are super nice, very enthusiastic and take the initiative to tell me when the ancient town evades tickets and so on. Ha ha. This is also a very thoughtful technical pot. A person keeps the youth brigade clean and orderly. The quilt cover is my favorite dolphin pattern. When I turned off the light, I found the ceiling covered with glowing stars and the moon. Seeing all this, my mouth will always rise unconsciously, making people feel warm and helping me realize a small dream. I have a feeling of seeing it under the stars. Ha ha ha ha, Junko must be a tender and lovely person.

The message said that he had a youth hostel of his own in his dream. But furong town is very secluded. Although it is the only youth tour group in the town, because there are few tourists, business is sluggish all the year round. In order to maintain this dream, Shunza also set up a stall in the town to play archery and sell tambourines and some musical instruments. It is cool to run on both sides alone, live seriously and work hard with goals. It's a pity that I am slow to heat up and indifferent by nature. I lie in bed all day watching the stars and the moon. Shunza's two stores are also very busy, and I don't have much communication with him.

Smell this. Quiet. I haven't slept enough for almost a month, and I haven't slept well for several days

Furong town Day: 2

It's 1 1 o'clock in the morning when I wake up naturally. Although the children were laughing and laughing in the alley early in the morning, and the aunts were tearing their voices to disturb my dream with the dialogue in Tujia dialect that I didn't understand, fortunately, I could fall asleep as soon as the quilt stopped. I haven't seen Junko all day. Maybe I got up late. At noon, Meituan took out food, soaked hot and sour powder in the evening, and finished the snacks in the backpack. It was also the first time that I finished reading Gu Long's martial arts novels in one day and said two words: In the afternoon, I greeted the children who were still playing in the alley outside the window. "Hey, kid"; Say "thank you" to the little brother.

Furong town Day: 3

Although Monday morning was quiet and there was no children's frolicking, I woke up early. I want to sleep well for a few days. On the trip, I always go to bed early and get up early naturally, and I enjoy this pace of life very much. A clean room with eight girls, living alone is a bit scary. Although there are stars and the moon in the room, the flashlight stays on until dawn at midnight.

Every time I finish reading a good book, I will always be fascinated for a while. Another dead house is lying in bed during the day, thinking of the lonely, honest and lonely man in Gu Long's book, like him, wandering around the world with a childlike innocence.

Starting at 6 o'clock in the evening, with a map of the ancient town raiders, Shunza said that no one would check the tickets before 7 o'clock in the morning and after 6 o'clock in the evening. Just go in at any time and follow the ticket evasion map to bypass the ticket gate. It's scary to take the path to the waterfall, and it will get dark slowly. There is no night light. Every time at this time, all kinds of horror movies and scary scenes are outlined in my mind. The mysterious Xiangxi, the empty mountain road, is an excellent background for sneaking out in the movie, and ran back as soon as I turned around.

When the western sky is full of rosy clouds and the ancient streets are leisurely strolling, square dance develops continuously and becomes a unique folk art, which is rooted in the lives of the social masses. The aunts in Lotus Square stretched happily and danced neatly. When I arrived late and suddenly became interested in taking pictures of lotus flowers, the lotus pond was already depressed everywhere, and even the lotus leaves had begun to deteriorate gradually.

Local specialties such as Chili rice tofu; August melon, big 10 yuan, small 8 yuan. I bought a small one for 5 yuan, the price is not bad, and it is quite delicious.

Furong town Day: 4

There were cries in the quiet and deep ancient town late at night. After waking up, I calmed down and found that the child was crying. I don't think turning on the light or staying up all night is that scary. I just got up early to see the face of the ancient town that has not been awakened. I leave at 6: 30 and take the fare evasion route. Although it's not far, it's not completely bright yet, and I'm still afraid to walk on the mountain road. Fortunately, my uncle sat by the river fishing early and my grandmother weeding in the garden, which gave me the courage to move forward. Enter the ancient city, sit by the river in a daze, pat the Millennium ancient town hanging on the waterfall and eat some dry food. In a short time, residents began to get up one after another, and soon there was the sound of beating clothes by the river, and the life of the day began like this. It didn't take half a day to visit furong town, but I went around three times, one time to take photos, and two times slowly.

The customs along the way

The more roads you walk, the more you like to stay at home. The more people you meet, the more you like children. Half of my four days in furong town were spent in a dead house. When I came to this remote village, I stepped on the bluestone alley. The pedestrians are in twos and threes, the air is fresh, and my impetuous heart calms down, as if this is Tao Yuanming's "Xanadu", and the outside world is isolated from it.

Unfinished ... Next stop, Chadong Ancient Town, Huayuan County.
