Travel notes of Sanhe ancient town

Love is on the road, but love is fleeting. In this new year, I came to Sanhe ancient town in my dream. Located in the south of Feixi County, Hefei City, Anhui Province, the ancient town is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Three rivers are named after Fengle River, Hangbu River and Xiaonanhe River, which flow through them.

Walking into the ancient town, I was suddenly enlightened, and rows of horse-headed walls were displayed in front of me. The "small tile-headed wall with blue brick lattice windows hanging in the cloister" gives people a dreamlike feeling, just like an elegant and charming ink painting. I seem to be a painter, intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, and my heart is full of joy.

There are two ancient streets in the ancient town, south and west. Wandering in this deep street, the bluestone road is smooth and round, emitting an ancient and leisurely atmosphere, which seems to have passed through a thousand years, giving people a kind of comfort that lightly embraces vicissitudes of life. On both sides of the ancient street, the white horse head wall has cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, flat door grilles and carved windows. What attracts me most is the specialty shops. The paintings on the tiles are quaint and unique, and various folk crafts make people linger.

An ancient and long "one-person alley" attracts tourists to stop. The mottled alley was silent. I walked into Gu Xiang curiously, where only one person could pass. A faint fear and nostalgia came slowly, and I quickly walked out of the alley, picked up the quiet mood along the ancient street, chewed the taste of ancient style and walked all the way.

At the end of the old street is an antique temple. Because Song Taizu took refuge here as a child, it was later named "Wannian Temple" to pray for a long history. Entering the courtyard, in front of it is the magnificent Hall of Great Heroes, and on the side is the exquisite Tibetan hall. The nine-story "Wannian Tower" stands in the backyard and is the tallest building in sanhe town. On the wall of the temple, there is a cold mountain asking, "What should I do if someone slanders me, deceives me, humiliates me, laughs at me, belittles me and deceives me?" Picked him up and said, "Just bear with him, let him, avoid him, let him, tolerate him, respect him, ignore him, see you in a few years!" I was deeply moved. Walking in this quiet temple, thinking and feeling, the heart is quieter and more ethereal.

The ancient town is characterized by a water town, forming a unique "eight ancient" landscape in the Jianghuai area: ancient rivers, ancient bridges, ancient houses, ancient streets, ancient markets, ancient teahouses, ancient temple fairs and ancient battlefields. Picturesque water town, picturesque ancient river, standing on the ancient bridge, the clear Xiaonan River has a panoramic view. There are many ancient bridges in Sanhe ancient town. Sanxian Bridge, named after "one bridge spans two banks and crows three counties", is the junction of Feixi, Shucheng and Lujiang counties, and is the best preserved ancient stone bridge in Sanjiang.

Quezhu Covered Bridge is a simple and elegant bridge with two cornices and upturned corners. Some people call it the Lover Bridge. Some couples walked across the bridge with smiles, hoping that their love would last forever.

Sanhe ancient town has a long history and rich humanities. Looking at the flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the majestic ancient city wall, imagine the famous war in which the Taiping Army annihilated the elite Li of the Xiang Army, as if seeing the heroic Taiping Army sticking to it. Sanhe town celebrities include Zheng, who served as the secretary of patriotic general Feng Yuxiang; Dong Yinchu, a famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader and social activist; Sun Liren, director of Hefei Arms Control Committee, deputy commander and chief of staff of the Northern Anhui Military Region; Professor Tsinghua University, Nobel Prize winner in physics Yang Zhenning, etc. Their former residences or life stories exhibition halls are distributed in the depths of ancient streets for tourists to visit, commemorate and treasure.

Small bridges and flowing water in the ancient town are full of ancient charm. After leaving the ancient town, my heart still ripples with it, and I can't be calm for a long time.
