In the eyes of many people, this place in Gansu was the land of the western regions thousands of years ago, and it was also the desert battlefield of Jin Ge Tiema, and it was even more windy and dusty.

Over time, sand yellow seems to have become the recognized background color of this province.

But in fact, rough and desolate is just a stereotype of Gansu. When you have the opportunity to walk into him in person, you will find that there is also a graceful place like Jiangnan, which is Bikou Ancient Town. 1. the "fertile land" where the two rivers converge

Bikou Ancient Town is located in the southeast of Wenxian County, Longnan City, and it is a place with its back to the mountains and front to the river.

On the one hand, after the Bailong River and Baishui River meet here, they quietly flow through the town and continue to move forward to join the Jialing River. Abundant rivers nourish the exquisite and elegant temperament of the ancient town.

On the other hand, Bikou, which is 624 meters above sea level, is a veritable low-altitude area in Gansu Province, with an average altitude of more than 1,3 meters.

The tall and continuous Qinling Mountains block the cold air whistling down from the north for Bikou Ancient Town, while the Bailong River Valley, which opens vertically and horizontally to the south, can make the southwest warm and humid airflow formed in the Indian Ocean pass through Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Sichuan Basin and extend to the middle and lower reaches of Bailong River Valley.

Therefore, Bikou ancient town has become the only place in Gansu and even the whole northwest where you can feel the climate of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place where green plants sprout first in a year.

The water flow endows the ancient town with a unique temperament, and the ancient town is also prosperous because of the river. In history, Bikou used to be a flood and drought wharf in Gansu and Sichuan provinces, which was also a transit point for waterway and land.

Jiangshui and Bikou Ancient Town have achieved each other, so it is also named as the "Starting Point of the Silk Road on Water".

The ancient town of Bikou, which is full of merchants and prosperous in trade, not only ranks first among the four famous towns in Gansu, but also makes it the most unique place in the province because of its unique water town style. 2. If I had known why there was Longnan, why should I go to the south of the Yangtze River?

The houses here are all built by the river. The stone road twists and turns, and one end winds into each household, and the other end is connected to the dock. Simple boats are firmly anchored by the river.

When you walk into the alley of an ancient town, you will meet the truth and fullness of street life.

The morning in Bikou ancient town started with a steaming bowl of bean curd noodles. There are two main streets in the town, with uneven pavements on both sides. The cover with yellow background and red edges flutters slowly under the wind of the river, and the shouts with cadence seem to continue the prosperity here in the past.

I came to the ancient town to put my body and mind in the distant clouds on this picturesque waterfront, walk alone in the cool and refreshing air, and let my lazy thoughts surge.

Walking along the roadside of the ancient town, the eyes are full of neon; Walking by the water of the ancient town, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

As night falls, the day in the ancient town gradually becomes calm, and the new moon appears. Such pure silence adds a bit of mystery and innocence to the ancient town.

After dinner, with the hazy night, blowing the gentle night wind, watching the colorful lights, walking by the water and taking a breath, this is the best time of the day in the ancient town.

The river flows eastward, taking away the once glorious water transport era, but what it can't take away is the smell of the town flowing day and night and the stories that keep happening in the town.

It seems that the world has nothing to do with you here. You can forget your life for a while, and as a bystander, you can observe all kinds of daily life in the town.

If you are tired of the colorful city, Bikou is the most suitable place for healing. Sleeping with the sound of the Bailong River, you will have a beautiful scenery in your dream. 3. Drink more tea than eat Lamian Noodles's

"Bikou is not like sweet", which is a local saying that is true. The language, diet and customs here are mostly similar to those in Sichuan, which is separated by a river.

In this small town in Gansu, all you hear is the northern Sichuan dialect. There are not a few Lanzhou Lamian Noodles shops in the streets and lanes, but strings of hot pot restaurants abound. It was a bit of a trance, and I couldn't tell whether it was in Gansu or Sichuan.

There are also many places to drink tea in the ancient town, including tea houses, roadside shops and cafes along the river. Welcome to send every day, listen to the store's own introduction, the place where tea is always packed all year round.

The tea culture here is inseparable from Bikou's special geographical location close to Sichuan. Because of the frequent waterway exchanges between Ganchuan and Ganchuan, the trackers and boatmen acted as "communication ambassadors" across the border, which not only increased the population flow at the dock, but also brought the custom of drinking tea in Sichuan.

tea can stimulate the brain and relieve fatigue. The custom of drinking tea soon became popular among boatmen, and then it was branded in the whole ancient town.

Although the boathouse has been deserted, the custom of drinking tea has been preserved to this day. Like Sichuan, drinking here is equally comfortable.

shichuan town is about 2 kilometers away from Lanzhou city. in the eighth year of Hongzhi in Ming dynasty (1495), the governor of Gansu province built the "shizichuan fort" in the center of shizi, hence its name. Shichuan has a long history and was once the birthplace of the Yellow River culture. As early as the Han Dynasty, it was very famous. The cultural landscape was dotted with ruins of castles in the Ming Dynasty, and the historical legends were beautiful and moving. The geographical environment near the mountains and waters, the exquisite natural landscape and the beautiful 1,-mu pear garden make it a "world pear garden" in the suburbs of Lanzhou.
