What are the interesting places in Pingyao? A complete collection of scenic spots in Pingyao

Pingyao was a famous town in the Song Dynasty and a world-class town in the Ming Dynasty. The commerce and handicrafts here are very developed, and there is still a trace of ancient flavor. Here, I would like to share with you the recommendations of tourist attractions around the bottle kiln.

In Pingyao, there is a river running through the city called Tiaoxi.

In Tiaoxi, there is a place where reeds float, called Beihu Caodang.

On the other side of the grass swing in Beihu Lake, there is a dam to protect the city, called Xixian Datang.

Walking through Xixian Datang and Pingyao Old Street, there is a cultural relic site called Nanshan Cliff Stone Carving.

Tiaoxi

Tiaoxi is an important tributary of Taihu Lake Basin, with a total area of 59 17 square kilometers.

Because reeds grow by the river in the basin, in autumn, they float on the water like flying snow, attracting attention. The local residents called it "Tiaoxi", hence the name Tiaoxi.

Tiaoxi consists of two Tiaoxi streams. Because the two streams are similar in size, they are also called sister streams.

This river flows through the source of Pingyao, originates from the southern foot of Pingdingshan in the north of DongTianmu Mountain, and flows south and east. After merging with Tiaoxi in the middle and north, it flows to Pingyao, which is called Dongtiaoxi.

There is a west dangerous pond on the levee on the right bank of Dongtiaoxi.

Xi xian da Tang

This is an important flood control barrier in the north of Hangzhou and has always been an important water conservancy project.

Founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

Because it is located in the west of Hangzhou, the dike pond is dangerous, so it is called Xixian Datang.

Xixian Datang starts from Shimen Bridge in Yuhang Town, passes through Yuhang, Pingyao, Anxi and Lushan, and ends at Deqing Gate in Huzhou, with a total length of 44.94 kilometers, including 38.98 kilometers in Hangzhou, which is a safety barrier for urban flood control and Hangjiahu Plain in Hangzhou.

On the other side of Xixian Datang is the thickest reed swing in Pingyao in Shao Xi, and it is also a place that attracts many photographers to stop-Beihu reed swing.

Beihu caodang

Caodang in Beihu Lake used to be a flood detention area in Tiaoxi River, but there has been no flood for six years.

As a result, reeds and weeds swayed on the grass, and even turned into fish ponds, mulberry fields and rice fields, with simple folk customs and an original ecological wetland scene.

Walking to the entrance, the signboard of the wildlife reserve came into view. A few steps forward, you can see the egrets that sometimes shuttle in the stream.

Looking down from the dam, ten thousand mu of reeds came into view.

The grass in Beihu Lake has its unique charm all year round, especially the reed flowers in winter, which bloom every year from 10 to the following year 1 month.

There are clumps of reeds everywhere beside the riverbank, on the floodplain, by the pond and behind the farmhouse.

White reed flowers were dyed golden yellow under the setting sun. Looking back at the light, the thin reed flowers reflect the golden sunshine and are unpredictable.

In the evening breeze, gently swaying, constantly welcoming strangers, constantly sending away friends, everything is like the feeling of old friends.

Reed swaying in the wind, occasional piles of purple flowers, flocks of cattle and sheep grazing on the stream bank, egrets swimming across the clear water, ducks swimming freely in the pond, and grass swaying in Beihu Lake constitute a picture of a paradise.

It is probably described by "seeing cattle and sheep when the wind blows".

In addition to Dongtiaoxi, Pingyao Town has many unforgettable places.

Walking along Pingyao Old Street, you can trace the historical relics of Nanshan Cliff Stone Carvings.

Nanshan Moya Stone Carving

Nanshan Cliff Stone Statue is located on the cliff south of Nanshan, Pingyao Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou. It is a rare stone carving group in Jiangnan. The single statue 13 of Buddhism, Taoism and Cliff in Yuan Dynasty is tall and dignified, with high historical value and artistic research value. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

The Nanshan Cliff Stone Carving Statue is dignified, vivid in expression, harmonious in proportion, beautifully carved and natural in shape, and the carving patterns and handwriting are clearly visible so far, which is the embodiment of the superb carving architectural art in the Yuan Dynasty.

Nanshan Cliff Stone Carving is known as the only stone statue group in Hangzhou that can compete with Lingyin Feilaifeng Statue. Sculpture, like a beginning, gives people a shocking visual experience and is an excellent place to appreciate the beauty of China's historical stone carving art.

Whether it is Dongtiaoxi, Xixian Datang, Beihu Caodang, or Nanshan Cliff Stone Carvings with rich cultural heritage, after years of polishing, they still maintain their original appearance and wait there quietly.

Perhaps it is the incomplete development of Pingyao town that makes it more like a paradise, beautiful and natural, and uncontested.
