Xiaoshui has been to many ancient towns, and this is the first time I know such a low-key and beautiful ancient town. So I decided to set foot here to experience another kind of tranquility and peace in the local area.

There are many unique B&Bs in the ancient town. Xiaoshui recommends that tourists find B&Bs near the block or near the water, which are more charming and can find a good angle if they want to take pictures. The homestay is not expensive, about 100 yuan, it is very cost-effective, and it feels old-fashioned and fragrant. Friends who don’t want to stay in a homestay can also choose a more modern hotel nearby. The best location is next to the ancient town, which is very convenient for sightseeing.

Heshun Ancient Town basically retains the cultural characteristics of Ming and Qing Dynasties when the ancient town was first built, so there are many ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties here, and walking among them is like traveling to ancient times. With Wild Duck Lake as the boundary, on the first day we can visit the west part of Tengchong Heshun Scenic Area, where the main scenic spots of Heshun Ancient Town are located. The tour route is: Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara Ancient Tree Group - Zhang's Ancestral Hall - Jia's Ancestral Hall - Zhongtian Temple - Yin's Ancestral Hall - Cun's Ancestral Hall - Wenchang Palace - Heshunhe. After a day of shopping like this, you will basically not miss the important scenic spots in the ancient town, and it is also very fulfilling.

Walking into Heshun, most people will fall in love with it at the first glance. Nearby are the beautiful ancient towns and quaint Ming and Qing buildings, while in the distance are the rolling hills, almost a picture of ancient charm. Seeing the flowing water, slowly flowing through the green fields, and seeing the villages sitting far away on the hillside facing north, they are patchwork and full of auspicious atmosphere. The scenery I see in front of me makes me feel that even walking here aimlessly for a day is a very enjoyable and interesting thing.

There are many means of transportation in Heshun, such as sightseeing cars and bicycles, but Xiaoshui feels that walking can better experience the tranquil beauty of Heshun. Heshun is very quiet, and there are not too many vehicles passing through here, so it is very suitable for a quiet walk alone, slowly savoring the unique charm of the local area. Of course, if you feel that walking is still too tiring, you can rent a bicycle and ride slowly between the fields, which is another good way to enjoy.

Walking slowly in the gentle countryside, every house here is a piece of exquisite art, some have strong traces of years of washing, some are very brand new, in short, I will give you one after another inadvertently. visual surprise. While visiting the beautiful scenery of the ancient town, we can also learn a lot, even if we are tired, it is very worthwhile!

There are many places to visit on the first day, so I am tired, so I can go back early to rest. The tour route for the second day is: sinking river wetland - Yinjiapo - Liu's Ancestral Hall - Wild Duck Lake - Li's Ancestral Hall - Yuanlong Pavilion - Ai Siqi Memorial Hall. If you are not enjoying yourself, you can go back and enjoy the food here. People in Heshun Ancient Town are more approachable, and some people will chat with you about interesting stories and rumors about the ancient town.

The descendants of these people in the ancient tea-horse road must have inherited the hospitality of their ancestors. On the streets of the ancient town, they often meet local hospitable people, invite you into their homes, and make you a cup of local very fragrant tea. I chatted with you about the Ancient Tea Horse Road. All of this makes people enjoy it very much, and involuntarily raises a feeling in their hearts that they are traveling through the tunnel of time and space and entering the ancient times.

Now it is autumn, and the temperature in October and November is very suitable. There is not much temperature difference between morning and evening. It is not like the mainland has begun to cool down, so spring and autumn are definitely very suitable seasons. Of course, there must be another beautiful scene in Heshun in other months. Everyone just needs to follow their own arrangements.

If you come to Heshun in the spring season, the rape blossoms are blooming all over the place at that time, what impresses Xiaoshui the most is the endless golden yellow rape blossoms, which are sandwiched between the white wall belt Among the tiles, the distant mountains and the nearby antique houses complement each other, forming a very wonderful pastoral picture. This rapeseed field is very easy to find. It is located on the left side of the Heshun residential building. If you can’t find the way, you can ask the local residents. They are very happy to guide you.

Another place worth visiting is a local lotus pond, which looks inconspicuous, but as long as you reach the center of a pavilion over there, you will find that the scenery there is very beautiful. It is rumored that there are a total of 13 pavilions built by Heshun, and their functions are also divided. Generally speaking, they are divided into pavilions, pavilions in the middle of the lake, and laundry booths for villagers to wash their clothes. The most impressive thing is of course the small pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond. The small pavilion here is surrounded by a large group of lotus. When the lotus is in full bloom, it is really breathtakingly beautiful and very suitable for taking pictures.

The Ming and Qing folk houses here are also very worth watching. Most of them have a very long history. The lines of the houses are smooth, and the overall structure is very simple but elegant, which is not found in other ancient towns. The high and low houses, black and red, reveal the natural beauty and simple life of that place, which is very harmonious.

Of course, when you visit these residential buildings, you must respect the individual habits of the local people, such as not rashly entering other people’s small yards, or picking flowers and fruit trees that others planted at the door, because these are very Behavior that disgusts the locals. Although most of the local residents in Heshun are very generous, as tourists, we should also respect the local customs.

Heshun, because of its special and superior traffic location in ancient times, made it an ancient route of the Silk Road, and it has various exchanges and collisions about trade and culture with countries all over the world. This has also contributed to the unique character of Heshun, which is tolerant, modest, and gentle, so if you like such a quiet place, then you must come to Heshun to take a look and take a walk. Find a day with drizzle, sit by the river and watch the willows Yiyi and the luxuriant grass on the bank, why not do it?
