When it comes to ancient towns, small bridges, flowing water, and people come to mind...
The first time I heard about Xiasi Ancient Town, I saw it when I was flipping through travel guides. In my opinion, the Jiangnan water town, the river flows, and the people on the bank live by the water. The girl and the boy meet on the stone bridge. It’s a millennium now... …
I like quietness, and I always feel that no matter how beautiful the ancient town is, once it is noisy, it will lose a lot of rhythm, so I took a vacation and started this unprepared trip. In Xiasi Ancient Town, time is wasted.
After getting out of the car, the ancient town of Xiasi in the drizzle looked mysterious and ancient, with antique buildings everywhere. Arriving in the ancient town, it is like walking into a huge maze, with alleys and alleys in all directions, as if it will never end. The houses on the side of the road are all the local people's own houses, which are warm and beautiful, making tourists and friends linger and forget to return.
Qingshui River is an important river in the ancient town. It runs through the entire town. Dozens of small boats are sailing on the blue and shining river. The boats are full of tourists and friends. They listen to the boatman explaining the history of the ancient town while admiring the river. The attics on both sides seem to be in that era, and I am one of them. There was a wonderful sound of drums coming from far away by the river. I followed the sound and saw big and small tambourines. The shop owner was immersed in his own wonderful music. I was also attracted by this music with Miao characteristics. Couldn't help but bought a snare drum too. I patted my tambourine along the way, as if I was a musician, full of air. I saw a few young girls by the river, one of them was wearing a Miao costume and smiling sweetly.
The stone slabs on the outer wall of Yuwang Palace can’t carry too much old things, it’s already a little sunken, and the greasy streaky slabs have long since buried the edges and corners of the year, and stone paths and trickles of water walk through the street together. Alleys, so the streets and houses are naturally strung together.
