Wandering in Yaoba ancient town

Because of the road and the epidemic, I didn't go home this week, so I was ready to start my own tour. Yibin is surrounded by three cities and one province. I want to visit all of them. Now I have been to Zigong, Shuifu in Yunnan and Chishui in Guizhou, which are not adjacent. Next, I am going to visit Luzhou and Leshan. This weekend, let's go to Yaoba ancient town in Luzhou first.

Yibin city is about 130 km from Yaoba ancient town. One is pure expressway, 20 minutes faster. But I recommend the combination of expressway and provincial highway. Although the distance is a little longer and the time is a little slower, it is worth a try, because it has good road conditions and scenery after passing through Yining tourist ring road. Yaoba ancient town is next to the high-speed exit, and the traffic is really convenient. I drove straight into the parking lot and paid 5 yuan. If you don't mind, there are many free parking spots on the roadside, and there is no need to pay. But the biggest advantage of parking in the parking lot is that you can enjoy the scenery of this ancient town from the beginning.

When I first came, it was a plaque that had gone through many vicissitudes. The words on it are illegible, but it looks like a dimension gate. Through it, the rows of blue tile roofs below indicate that I will touch another world.

Walking down the uneven steps, the sparse crowd was surrounded by shops on the side of the road, and all kinds of goods came to my face, but it didn't look too bourgeois. Perhaps the goods here are mainly local characteristics, and there is no Turkish ice cream or small bar, which keeps a kind of simplicity, or perhaps all the bricks and tiles around are historical deposits, not imitations of modern buildings, which neutralizes modernity in time and keeps the whole ancient street in an ancient time and space. In the ancient street, the most popular products are local specialties, such as instant fried sweet potato cakes, various peppers, lobster sauce and dried radish. It's quite a bit mouth watering. Tourists in the past are more or less carrying bags and smiling. On both sides, you can also see bargainers and old teahouses drinking tea and playing cards leisurely. Compared with the man-made ancient towns around Chengdu, this shows the real life of the local people more, with less weirdness and more fireworks.

Go on, there are still some places to visit. It is said that this ancient town is called Qianli Houzhou. The first half was built by Jinshi Li and the second half was built by Zhou, so I visited Zhou's palace. But after all, I am not from an archaeological background, and the scenic spots are basically not introduced. I can only have a cursory look and see nothing. Only one thing, the patio set by ancient buildings is really creative, that is, it can increase the light, and it can also add vitality to the green plants, adding luster to the houses without glass and sunshine at that time. The ancients had infinite wisdom!

Then I went to see Ciyun Temple again. Besides feeling that it really has a long history, I can't find more * * * songs. Another scenic spot, Mother Gu Rong, didn't find anything special. It can only be said that these landscapes only add historical color to the ancient town, but unfortunately they have not improved the cultural heritage and viewing level of the ancient town. It is suggested that the local tourism bureau should integrate resources, make unified planning, coordinate development, and show the true connotation of history and scenery.

I have to say that the biggest reason why Yaoba ancient town attracted me was actually watching a CCTV program and introducing the special food here-mutton in red soup. In the ancient street, 10 many old and authentic red soup mutton shops aroused my appetite, but I knew that the restaurants in the tourist attractions were expensive and not authentic, so after the tour in the ancient town, I went to Yaoba Town to find a place for local people to eat. On a street where local people eat and live, I saw a shop with a distinctive name-sweet potato rice mutton restaurant, where many local people sat. So I shuttled in, ordered a red mutton soup and a tofu pudding rice, and ate slowly. Eat mutton in red soup with soup first. I have to say, the mutton soup is refreshing and delicious, and the mutton flavor is less. Because of the red oil, it is spicy, and it just warms the stomach in winter. Mutton is really goat meat, which is very chewy. People with bad teeth are advised not to try. Although it is red soup, mutton is still the main flavor and needs to be dipped in seasoning. And the seasoning should be special Chili sauce, which tastes good. The overall feeling is that the meat is firm, the smell is small, and the soup is delicious and worth eating. But what surprised me most was the seasoning of tofu pudding, which combined the seasoning of raw rapeseed oil with the unique bean flavor. Bai Yueguang belongs to a specific group and must be tried. This meal cost me 38 yuan, but it's still not cheap. Mainly a bowl of mutton 30 yuan.

Later, I visited Yaoba Post Station, a newly-built local ancient town. It was a staple food with no characteristics and no one. It is estimated that it will eventually fade out of public view like Longtan Water Town or Xilai Ancient Town.

The tour time of the whole Yaoba ancient town is only 2 hours, so I went to another scenic spot not far away-Fawang Temple. The Fawang Temple, supported by various stone pillars, is ancient but not dilapidated. Because the mountain is deep, it still maintains a simple and quiet style. Although there are many fireworks, they are leisurely surrounded by groups, but they are a good place for meditation. It's a pity that I, a layman, have meditation, but no wisdom. I can only watch casually and worship silently. I hope that in the secular world, this temple can hold the Buddha's heart and let the yearning people have a home!

Although I can't understand all kinds of impermanence, all kinds of bitterness and the depth of Buddhism, in the face of unpredictable life journey, the counselor's cultivation world is always good, so the next goal, Leshan March 8 Hotel, is waiting for me!
