My travel diary: a trip to Shuhe ancient town

After a day's rest in the ancient city, my resistance to heights has improved. In the evening, I checked the tourist guide of Shuhe ancient town and found that Shuhe ancient town is only seven or eight kilometers away from the ancient city. It is best to go by bus, which is economical and convenient. We just need to change trains at the same station on the way, and each person has to pay 4 yuan. Just like we are going to Lijiang People's Hospital for nucleic acid testing, we can take a bus at the bus stop opposite the hospital after the nucleic acid testing.

The next morning, according to the tour guide, we got on the 1 1 bus after finishing the nuclear V acid, and then transferred to the No.6 bus. It took about 40 minutes, about nine o'clock. We arrived at Shuhe ancient town, followed the navigation for about 200 meters, and came to the gate of Shuhe ancient town. Before, the tour guide said that he wanted to buy tickets for 30 yuan/Guangzhou, but when we arrived, we found that there was no one there.

After entering, I found that the streets of Shuhe Ancient Town are like Qingshi Road in Old Town of Lijiang, with flowers and running water in every household, but the size of Shuhe Ancient Town is smaller than Dayan Ancient Town, but the age of Shuhe Ancient Town is even earlier than Dayan, because Shuhe is the birthplace of Mutus before the city was built in Old Town of Lijiang and the earliest settlement of Naxi ancestors, with a history of 1000 years.

The square street in Shuhe ancient town is similar to the pattern of the ancient city, but smaller. When we first went, there were many people taking pictures, so we went forward. At about ten o'clock, we arrived at Qinglong Bridge. There are at least three couples taking wedding photos on the bridge, and there are many people. I don't know what effect so many people will have on the bridge.

Qinglong Bridge is the most important landmark building in Shuhe ancient town, which was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is said that its central axis is near Jubaoshan in the west, which was designed by Mu Tusi. The whole bridge is made of stones, 25 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 4 meters high. It is said that immortals once crossed from Qinglong Bridge to Yulong Snow Mountain and became immortals, leaving immortal footprints on the bridge.

When I got off the Qinglong Bridge, I saw a map of the ancient tea-horse road engraved on the wall. Shuhe ancient town is an important well-preserved market town on the ancient tea-horse road, and it is also the "leather town" of Lijiang. At that time, due to the development of the ancient tea-horse road, there was a demand for various commodities. In the Ming Dynasty, Mu Tusi hired a group of Jiangnan craftsmen to settle in Shuhe. Since then, it has become a famous "cobbler village".

After crossing the ancient tea-horse road, we walked north along Shuhe Street 100 meters, and we came to the source of the stream at the foot of Longquan Mountain, "Jiuding Longtan". At the foot of Longquan Mountain, ancient trees are towering, and a mountain of spring water merges into "Jiuding Longtan". The water in the pool is crystal clear and overgrown with water plants, which is regarded as a holy spring by local people. There is a temple named "Sansheng Palace" at the upper end of Longtan, and the west hall is dedicated to Guanyin.

The reflection of trees in the water pool near Longtan is very similar to the water in Jiuzhaigou, and it is also green and clear.

After visiting Jiuding Longtan, we went south again. We want to visit the "Shi Lian Temple" where the World Federation studied at night. We walked about a kilometer until we came to a cliff with the words "Shi Lian Temple" written on it. We found a path on the cliff, which was full of rubbish. We thought that since we were here, we would go up and have a look. After climbing many steps, we saw the "Shi Lian Temple" built on the cliff.

After coming down from Shi Lian Temple, we went back. Because of the epidemic, many shops and inns in Shuhe Ancient Town were closed. I really hope the epidemic will end soon.
