The ancient Qinglong Bridge and Sifang Tingyin Square are the places that linger in Shuhe Ancient Town?

On my trip to Yunnan, I visited Lijiang, and on my trip to Lijiang, I visited Shuhe. This time I came to Shuhe Ancient Town and visited many places. There are two places that are very special. One is walking on the Qinglong Bridge and feeling With an ancient atmosphere, Qinglong Bridge has a history of more than 400 years. It is 25 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 4 meters high. It is all built of stones. It is the best ancient stone bridge in Lijiang and a landmark building in the heyday of Mushi Tusi. , hundreds of years of wind and rain have made the bridge deck mottled and old, but it has not lost its solemn and heavy momentum. At the same time, Sifang Tingyin Plaza also has a unique flavor in Shuhe Ancient Town.

Many people go to Qinglong Bridge to check in, and we went too. The stones on the Qinglong Bridge are so popular that they look as smooth as oil. You have to be careful when walking on them to avoid slipping. The stone bridge with a history of more than 400 years is full of mottled history. The creek flows under the bridge, and the surrounding view is wide and the scenery is excellent. The smooth stone road reveals the history of Lijiang and the large number of tourists. There are many brides-to-be taking wedding photos every day. This was once the site of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and walking there gives you a sense of history.

Qinglong Bridge is one of the most popular attractions in Shuhe Ancient Town, probably because of its 400-year history. Although it is high in height, its slope is extremely gentle. The team that took wedding photos wanted to squeeze out every part of the bridge to take pictures, even the bridge deck. The photo routine was the same. The Qinglong Bridge is filled with smiles from the newlyweds, and the breeze blows the hair on their foreheads, and everyone is infected by their happiness.

Walking and turning, I somehow arrived at the "Qinglong Bridge", which is an ancient bridge built in the Ming Dynasty. This ancient bridge is said to be the only way to pass through the Tea Horse Road. It’s not a small project either. Sitting on the bridge, looking at the polished stones on the bridge, I can't help but imagine how many heroic caravans have walked across this bridge in the past and how many cavalry teams have been beating the sound of horse hooves here.

Unlike the flat bluestone bridge, every big stone here is of different heights. The big stones pave the way. After years of use, the surface of the stones has become very smooth. The bridge is covered with moss, giving it an antique feel. There are people coming and going on the bridge, and there is a small river under the bridge. I guess it should be the Qinglong River. This bridge connects the front and rear parts of the ancient town. After crossing the bridge, the ancient town extends to the hillside. One end of Qinglong Bridge is connected to Sifang Street of the ancient town, and the other end is connected to the Ancient Tea Horse Road. There are all inns and shops here.

Another unforgettable place in Shuhe Ancient Town is Sifang Tingyin Square. Sifang Tingyin Square is located in the south of Shuhe Ancient Town. The four words "Sifang Tingyin" on the gate tower are very big; " The word "Sifang" is a pun, which not only comes from "Sifang Street", but also has the real meaning, which means it covers all directions and embraces all rivers. The square is very lively at night. There are bonfire parties at night and singing and dancing performances during the day. It is the main gathering place for local activities and entertainment. It feels very down-to-earth and has a unique flavor regardless of singing or dancing.

The square is not far from the entrance of the ancient city and is very spacious. There are many shops and snack bars around the square. There are many stone and wooden benches around where you can sit and relax. There is a spectacular stage where performances are performed during the day. They are all veteran artists, and they use traditional instruments to play famous Naxi music, which is melodious and melodious. Dancing at night is very interesting, lively, and very ethnic. To be honest, it feels quieter than Dayan Ancient City, which is more suitable for people like me. As the largest square in Shuhe Ancient Town, you can still visit it.

If the ancient Sifang Street is a traditional market, then the modern "Sifang Tingyin" is the cultural square of the ancient town, where people meet and art is exchanged. The bonfire party at Sifang Tingyin Square is from 20:00 to 21:00. It feels like square dancing here. We were all just joining in the fun, with no sense of rhythm and the same hands and feet. This is a good gathering place, and performances with ethnic characteristics greatly enhance the humanistic atmosphere of the ancient town. No hawking, just culture.
