Where is the ancient town of Gongtan?

With the development of the times, people's lives have also undergone great changes, and compared with the previous living standards, they have also greatly improved. Accordingly, with the acceleration of the pace of life, people are more expecting to slow down. More and more people are beginning to yearn for the retirement life at sunrise and sunset. In fact, ancient towns can meet people's needs, and when the pressure is relatively high, they can change their mentality and adjust their mood. Gongtan ancient town is different.

Speaking of ancient towns, people's first impression is those hot tourist destinations such as ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but the ancient towns in my heart should not be like that.

The ancient town I have been longing for should have a profound historical background. It should not be completely newly built, but should be born to cater to consumption. Moreover, there should be a strong human touch in the ancient town, and the ancient town with too heavy commercial atmosphere will lose its original charm.

Gongtan ancient town has a unique style. Although Gongtan ancient town has a history of thousands of years. It is the only well-preserved ancient town in the world near Dachuan.

However, it still maintains its original tranquility and pace, does not fight for it, and maintains its own charm.

1, charm of ancient town

The buildings in the whole ancient town are built along the river and adopt the architectural style of diaojiao building. Although it is built by the river, the landform here still conforms to the characteristics of Chongqing, with great height difference and far from the water level.

2. Guzhen Street

There is only one main street in the ancient town, which runs through the whole Gongtan ancient town, and there are some twigs on both sides. The whole street is undulating, with many small bridges and ramps.

Visitors here are advised to try not to bring suitcases. A simple backpack is the best travel equipment.

The main street sells some local specialties and gifts, most of which are not locals.
