Lijiang: the Peach Blossom Garden in Yunnan

Lijiang, located in the "south of colorful clouds"-northwest Yunnan, was mistaken for a small river by many people a few years ago. Now it is very famous abroad, and the United Nations has recognized it as a world famous historical and cultural city. In fact, as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lijiang was very famous in the Central Plains, and the Black Dragon Pool in Dayan Town, Chengguan, was crystal clear and as clean as jade. In Yuquan Park, I bowed my head and sighed, and saw the reflection of a snowy mountain, which remained unchanged all the year round. Looking up at the mountain, the mountain is in the northwest of the city, which is Yulong Snow Mountain. At the top of Yulong Snow Mountain, there are beautiful snow peaks and green slopes, during which there are often misty clouds, which is really infinite scenery. On the other side of the mountain, from time to time, there comes the faint sound of waves lapping on the shore, which is the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. Walking on the stone path of the Lijiang River, you will suddenly feel like Wu Lingren in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and you have strayed into the Peach Blossom Garden, only to see that the architecture is patchy and the houses are just like Naxi people's simple folk customs, and they are familiar with each other and full of ancient meanings. Because it is far away from war and modern industry, it is a relatively complete place in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Lijiang toast wood and stone was built in its heyday in imitation of the Forbidden City in Beijing. There are also Jinshui Bridge, three halls and an "imperial garden". In the glass hall of Dabaoji Palace and the temple community, large murals with religious themes are painted on the four walls, which are rich in color and rough in style, and combine the paintings of Han, Tibetan, Naxi and Bai nationalities, which are simple and solemn.

Second, Pingyao: the natural scenery of filming costume dramas.

In the last century, Pingyao's commerce was prosperous, covering almost all businesses, such as banks, money houses, pawn shops, Chinese medicine shops, silk shops, grocery stores, fans, lanterns, clothing stores, etc., all over Pingyao's streets and lanes. Pingyao also enjoys the reputation of "Little Beijing" because of its outstanding reputation. Now, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, endless prosperity has passed away, leaving only cold buildings standing in Pingyao city. In this vicissitudes of land in Kuching, from Taiyuan to the southwest, along the Fenhe River, which is rich in fine wine, for about 90 kilometers, I saw an ancient city standing tall and solemn, which is Pingyao. Pingyao Ancient City is one of the most complete existing ancient cities in China, so it was selected as a world famous historical and cultural city by the United Nations. Crossing the moat, crossing the arched door and climbing the tower, you can see that the tower stands four times, and the perforations and observation holes are distributed around it; Outside the city, the four fields are open and the north and south are unimpeded. In this case, I feel like an ancient man dressed in blue, and I have a feeling that heaven and earth are boundless. Down to the gatehouse, you can see houses with blue bricks and white tiles and upturned cornices, and you can see storefronts along the way, which are antique, such as costume movie scenes. In fact, when many costume dramas are filmed here, even the scenery is not used. In the early 1980s, Pingyao made a comprehensive plan to rebuild the ancient city, which is still frightening. Fortunately, several professors from the Department of Architecture of Tongji University visited the nearby ancient buildings. When they heard the news, they immediately rushed to Pingyao and appealed from all directions. Fang made nearly 100 ancient streets and thousands of houses in Pingyao preserved to this day, becoming a living fossil recording the social history and culture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Third, Yan 'an: an eternal holy land.

Although Yan 'an has long been known to women and children in China and is well-known abroad, it is no exaggeration to say that Yan 'an is a small place with a population of only 200,000 until today. After 1935, history chose Yan 'an. A Hunan man smoking a cigarette and eating Chili peppers lit a single spark here and soon lit up China. Baota shan in Yan 'an became a pilgrimage site for young people at that time. After a lapse of 30 years, with a wave of his hand, it has become fashionable for big people to go to the countryside, and many Beijingers have gone to Yan 'an to be educated youths there. Today, Yan 'an is still the most worthwhile place to visit. Although many people are already familiar with Yang Jialing's lanterns, Zaoyuan's lanterns and Wang Jiaping's dances, history has turned a corner in Yanhe River surrounded by Baota shan, Phoenix Mountain and Liang Qingshan. You will visit the past, touch every thick loess, pass through the old people's old homes and caves, and then meditate and feel what you can't get anywhere else.

Fourth, Phoenix: Xiangxi amorous feelings under Shen Congwen's pen

People who have read Border Town have left beautiful images of the places where Cui Cui and Cui Cui lived: Cui Cui's clear temperament and love, villagers' simple and broad-minded style, the diaojiao building by the water in the moonlight and so on. Border Town was written by Shen Congwen, who claimed to be a "countryman", and it was written in Fenghuang County, western Hunan. Fenghuang County is located in the west between Jishou City and Huaihua City. The urban area is built on the Tuojiang River, which is like wine, and the diaojiao building along the river is as naive as an intoxicating beauty. The streets and alleys of the city smell of peppers and bacon all year round, and all kinds of Hunan women dance. On the moonlit night, the duet of Miao men and women can wake up every window near the water. Out of the city, I saw a mountain like a sword piercing the air, rising from the ground and writing "Star Mountain". Into the mountain, bid farewell to the cliff cut by the axe, and a clear stream flows gently. Crossing the Qingxi and climbing the plank road, there are ancient trees and strange rocks. A platform suddenly opened up on the top of the mountain, and one of the pools was "Tianchi", where the stream was gurgling and never withered after a long drought. Musk deer often sigh, and birds are low. Coming down from the mountain, I still want to go to Qiliangdong. Downstream into the cave, there are Wu Yun, Paradise, Dragon Palace, Galaxy and other scenery in the cave, and the wonders of Guilin and Zhangjiajie are gathered in one cave. When you get out of the cave and enter the river, you can go to see Dalongdong, the largest waterfall in western Hunan, and the ancient city of Huangsiqiao.

5. Xichang: The satellite goes up from here.

Xichang, located in the middle of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southwest Sichuan Province, along the Anning River and on the chengdu-kunming railway Line, is the largest satellite launching center in China and has always been famous for launching satellites from China and other countries. Xichang can be said to be the first stop of China's high-tech tour, where people can not only see the huge rocket launcher, but also understand the whole process of satellite launch. There is "Guangfu Temple" on Lushan Mountain about 5 kilometers south of the city. The uniqueness of the temple lies in that the stone tablets in the temple record the occurrence of earthquakes in Xichang and its surrounding areas, which is really rare in China, and further confirms that Xichang is a science and technology city in China. Feel the technology in Xichang and relax. You can go to Qionghai, 2.5 kilometers southeast of the city. Qionghai is a crystal clear lake with reeds. The beautiful scenery of Qionghai is different in four seasons, especially in autumn and winter. In autumn, there is a bright moon pushing white goose waves, Qionghai is warm in winter snow, and migratory birds arrive; Or go to the primeval forest of Luoji Mountain, where pandas embrace bamboo, roe deer fly, waterfalls and Haizi fly.

6. Turpan: the magical beauty in the journey to the west.

Turpan City is located in the center of Turpan Basin, the lowest basin in China, west of Urumqi, and is famous for "Tang Sanzang's access to the Flame Mountain was blocked, and the Monkey King borrowed a banana fan for three times". As a matter of fact, Xuanzang did pass by Turpan that year and rested for a month in Gaochang, an ancient city about 40 kilometers southeast of today's city. Gaochang was an important town on the Silk Road at that time. Today, when you visit the old city and see broken walls, you can imagine the prosperity of the past. The flaming mountain is not imaginary, but the flame of the flaming mountain is not a real flame, but the red sandstone is burning and flashing under the scorching sun, and the steam is like a flame. Although Flame Mountain is the hottest area in China, there are many valleys in the mountain, surrounded by springs and lush trees, which are adjacent to houses and produce grapes and fruits. Among them, the grape valley is unforgettable, and the seedless white grapes produced by the grape valley are mouth-watering. Uighurs are very hospitable. When you enter Turpan, you can see men wearing four-eyed little flower hats and robes and women wearing suits and skirts everywhere, greeting you with "Hello, Jaxy Muqi". In the southeast of the city, there are the Sugong Pagoda and Gong * * Cemetery in Gaochang Old Town. The tombs are dry and the terrain is dry, forming a natural aseptic environment and becoming an excellent natural storage place for mummies. There are thousands of Buddha caves in the northeast of the city, and the cultural and natural landscapes are beautiful.

7. Pingxiang: The nearest place to Vietnam.

Pingxiang is located on the Sino-Vietnamese border in the southwest of the motherland. No city can be a better historical witness of Sino-Vietnamese relations than Pingxiang, and the name change of Friendship Pass is proof, which is located about 18 km southwest of the city. The Friendship Pass was built in the late Ming Dynasty, with a famous earthquake pass and a famous earthquake south gate in the late Ming Dynasty. Feng Zicai, a veteran of the Qing Dynasty, fought the French army here and won a great victory in Zhennanguan. After liberation, China and Vietnam became friends, and Zhennanguan was renamed Munanguan and Friendship Pass. In the late 1970s, because Vietnam overreached itself, China and Vietnam became enemies, and friendship was held in Nanguan, Cheng Zhen. After the 1980s, China and Vietnam resumed diplomatic relations, and Zhennanguan once again became a friendly pass. Today, Pingxiang has become the first stop of Sino-Vietnamese border trade. Walking in the hot and narrow streets of Pingxiang, you can always see some Vietnamese with straw hats, short stature and dark faces. They either sell Vietnamese native products and smuggled goods, or snap up cheap daily necessities in China. There are many Zhuang people in Pingxiang. They chew betel nuts like chewing gum, eat colored rice and entertain guests with colored rice. With the influx of more and more people, Pingxiang, once a military town, is now full of commercial flavor, exotic atmosphere and even a little weird.

Eight, Zedang: The Legend of Tibetan Origin

According to legend, there are three fairy caves in Kampot Mountain, a sacred mountain in Tibet, where a bodhisattva lives, a monkey who has changed from a fairy to a beautiful enchantress because of breaking the precepts. Later, at the behest of the Bodhisattva, the monkey married the enchantress and gave birth to six monkeys. Monkeys survived from generation to generation and evolved into Tibetans today. Monkey Cave in Kampot Mountain is the birthplace of Tibetans, located in Zedang, about 200 kilometers southeast of Lhasa. In Zedang, there are not only monkey caves engraved with scriptures, but also the first scene and the first family of Tibetans. The first oil field is located in the north of Zedang. According to legend, this field was given to monkeys by the gods to grow food, so whenever sowing, people would grab a handful of soil in the sacred field and scatter it on their own fields to pray for a bumper harvest. The first house is located in Naidong County near Zedang. According to legend, it is the first house "Yongbulagang" built by Tibetans for Zanpu, and it is also the palace of the first generation of Zanpu. Although Yongbulagang has been ruined, its majestic momentum is still discernible. In Zedang, eating delicious Ciba, buttered tea and highland barley wine, watching devout Tibetans in robes pass by, remembering that they are now in Yalong River area, the birthplace of Tibetans, adding a magical feeling to Tibet.

Nine, Maduo: Tracing back to the source of the Yellow River

It is not easy to point out the exact relative position of Maduo, because there are no big cities around. It can only be said that it is located in the southwest of Qinghai Province, Xining City. Maduo is the first county in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, with a sparse population and harsh climate, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. But it is a place worth visiting, because the source of the Yellow River, the cradle of China culture, is located in this county, and people have come here to seek their roots since ancient times. In the western suburbs of maduo county, there is the first bridge of the Yellow River. Here, the water of the Yellow River is crystal clear. Walking on the bridge, missing the distance, don't have a taste. Further west, we can see Erin Lake and Zhaling Lake, which is 20 kilometers west of Erin Lake. These two lakes are like a pair of pearls embedded in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Going up again, the water is clear and the sky is wide. Along the way, there are Tibetan villages and pastoral areas, rich pastures, flocks of cattle and sheep, the starry sea, the Yogu Zonglie Canal and the famous Kariqu. If it's the solstice of winter and spring, you can chisel ice to fish and see thousands of migratory birds.

X. Xingcheng: a seaside town far from industry

After going out of Shanhaiguan and going north along Liaodong Bay, Xingcheng was the first city to arrive. Xingcheng is an ancient city near the Bohai Sea and a newly developed tourist attraction. Although the scenery is infinite, Star City's Xiao Yan in the City is still unknown in the boudoir. Xingcheng began to build a county in the Liao Dynasty, which was not affected by the war and was far away from industry. It is the best existing ancient city in China, even surpassing Lijiang and Pingyao in this respect. Hot springs in the city are very famous, including hot spring river and hot spring well. Zhang, the governor of Northeast China, once built a villa in the city center because of the good water quality of hot springs. Xingcheng city is built by the sea, with warm winter and cool summer and pleasant climate; Trees are shaded and houses are clean and tidy. Its bathing beach can accommodate 200,000 people, and the water quality of Shaliang is clean, so it is called the second in Beidaihe. There are Wanghai Pavilion and Wanghai Tower in the north of the city. Climb up to see the sea, the sea breeze rises at the beginning, and the water surface is full of white sails of seagulls.
