One river in Shaanxi gives birth to a thousand-year-old town-Shuhe Ancient Town, which was once the national economic hub.

Shuhe Town, Xunyang County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province is located 53 kilometers east of Taiji Mountain in Xunyang County, with the towering Qinling Mountains in the north and Yiyibashan Mountain in the south. Relying on the Han River and taking the Shuhe River as the carrier, it connects xianhe town and Lengshui Town in the east, Baihe County in the south and Palm Town and Guankou Town in the west; The north is connected with Shuanghe Town.

The most typical external feature of Bachu folk houses is the horse head wall, which is used for fire prevention. From a distance, no matter from which angle, you feel that this residence is like a group of slim old people in long gowns, standing in the wind and full of national justice.

Shuhe Old Street, an important commercial port in ancient times, is a well-preserved ancient town of Bachu. When we met, I seemed to see my previous life's marriage. Thousands of years later, she waited for me thousands of years ago.

The establishment of Shuhe River can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. When it was sealed, Shu was sealed in the north of Nanyang, Henan. Due to the expansion of Chu, the poor and weak Shu led the people to move westward and settled here, hence the name.

Walking into Shuhe ancient town, a sense of history is coming! The history of ancient buildings is everywhere. Therefore, it is located in a remote mountainous area, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient after liberation, so these monuments have been preserved. I have been to many ancient towns, and many places are not old, but antique. But Shuhe ancient town is different. What supports it is the architectural cultural heritage precipitated by history.

The old street of Shuhe Town, which is more than 1000 meters long, is covered with thick green slates. The edges and corners of the slate have been worn away, showing a long history. The houses with wooden fa? ades and attics on both sides are dark and inclined, revealing an ancient atmosphere.

Every place has a different perspective, and every building seems to have a different story. As soon as you step into the ancient town, it's like walking into history, walking into a painting gallery of history.

Every building has a soul, every building is leisurely telling the past, every room has a story, and every wall is telling the past. I think every detail of the Shuhe River here is worth reading carefully.

The bluestone slab at the foot, the creeper on the house, the stars in the sky and the mossy bluestone steps all record the past of the ancient town.

Shuhe River has a long history and profound cultural heritage. It is named as a famous historical and cultural town in China and a famous cultural and tourist town in Shaanxi. Shuhe ancient town has no deep tourism development at present, and belongs to a relatively original ancient town. Here, there are no noisy tourists and excessive commercialization, and you can see an original and grounded Hanjiang ancient town.

The beautiful scenery of those small towns is on the stream flowing in front of the door, in the rainy alley, on the bluestone road splashed with water, on the ruins of the balcony hall. It's misty and rainy here, green mountains and clear waters here, red flowers and green willows here, and it's not Jiangnan, but it's better than Jiangnan.
