Tour Yunnan 20 13 ~ Heshun ancient town

I have been to Yunnan several times, but my memory is a little vague, and my previous photos are hard to find, but it is still worth recording.

Our company went by car on the hot holiday 20 13. Together with two university teachers from Xi 'an, we started from Chengdu, passed Yuanmou and Nujiang Grand Canyon, and arrived at Heshun Ancient Town.

This trip, I used WeChat to send a circle of friends for the first time.

The ancient town of Heshun, Tengchong, Baoshan, Yunnan, is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese as a business card promotion of Tengchong tourism culture. He has been selected as one of the top ten charming towns in China and won the only annual prize. It is an ancient residential building with cultural and artistic value, and it also gave birth to China's great modern Marxist philosopher Ai Siqi.

The ancient town is built on the mountain, living by the water, and the residential buildings are built on the mountain. The roads from here are paved with bluestone slabs, criss-crossing, like the blood of a small town. A small river bypasses the ancient town and winds into a natural lakes and marshes. The lake is crystal clear. When we went, the lotus was in full bloom and the weather was not too hot. There is a Chinese-Western library with many world famous works, which shows that people in Heshun ancient town have long-term trade with overseas and have advanced ideas. The bougainvillea in front of the museum bloomed brilliantly, which left us a very good impression.

Over the past 600 years, Central Plains culture, Western Regions culture, Nanzhao culture and frontier fortress culture have blended and collided here, forming a unique overseas Chinese hometown culture and caravan culture, making Heshun one of the four typical eco-cultural villages in Yunnan Province. Heshun has a fine tradition of worshipping Buddhism and respecting religion since ancient times. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 400 juren and scholars here. It used to be the hometown of Yin Rong, a famous Buddhist teacher of the four dynasties in Myanmar, Zhang Baoting, the jade emperor, and Ai Siqi, a famous philosopher.

We walked into the homes of the residents of the ancient town. The small courtyard is antique, with elegant potted plants, and free to visit. There are "three squares and one wall", "quadrangle" and "four entrances and five patios", where you can appreciate the charm of Huizhou architecture with white walls and tiles and find the elements of western architecture. Especially the woodcarving of the doors and windows of the old house, all kinds of carvings are lifelike. In the house, the stone steps piled with volcanic rocks are particularly regional and can play a very good anti-skid role in rainy days.

Entering Heshun, we are presented with picturesque scenery, beautiful scenery, weeping willows and swaying green shadows. "The distant mountains are vast, the waters are melodious, and under the slopes of Wanjiapo, it is definitely better than Xiaosuhang." -This is the senator of the Republic of China, who once praised Shun in his poems.

If you go to Heshun ancient town in autumn, the golden ancient ginkgo must be amazing!
