Every year during the Golden Week of November, it’s a pity to always think about staying at home during the seven-day holiday. When going out, people always follow the crowd. When my father went to the Great Wall during the Golden Week, he was squeezed by the people around him to go up and down the Great Wall. Judging from Zhandi's experience, um... in this peak tourist season, we still choose to visit scenic spots that are unpopular in the surrounding area and not too far from home, and places with few people are the first choice for travel. This year, after careful consideration by the whole family (actually, it was only a day’s discussion), we finally decided to take a self-driving tour from Baoshan City to Lincang City with the third aunt’s family, which lasted 6 days and 5 nights and covered more than 1,000 kilometers.

 Changning County, Baoshan City→Fengqing County, Lincang City→Lushi Town 

       It is about 80 kilometers long from Changning County, Baoshan City to Fengqing County, Lincang City, and takes about 2 hours by car. The road is a secondary road with two-way lanes. Due to the construction of Changbao Expressway in some sections, there is a lot of dust, but the road condition is generally good. Starting from Chacha, Fengqing County, Lincang City to Lushi Town, the road suddenly narrows, with many bends and sharp turns. Although it is a cement road, you must be very attentive when driving. After a short period of traffic jams outside Fengqing County, we started the long ~ long ~ mountain ~ public road ~, the short 84 kilometers on the map, driving for nearly three and a half hours, plus the The road ahead is at a loss, and this mountain road looks very long~

       It feels like going from the top of the mountain to the edge of the Lancang River, crossing the bridge and climbing to the top of the mountain. On the way, we walked across the wide surface of the Lancang River and the coldness of the ancient tea base in the mountains. The temperature difference reached more than ten degrees. Even though it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, the mountains were still foggy.

Route: Lancang River

Way: Lushi Yanhe Village Ancient Tea Base

       Follow the road signs and navigation instructions in Lushi Town all the way. After passing the archway of the ancient town, I feel like I have entered the scenic spot, but when the map shows that there are still three kilometers left, we are at the top of the mountain, and we can’t see a little bit of the ancient town at all, which makes my curiosity about this undeveloped ancient town reach its peak. Is it scattered on the mountainside, or concentrated at the bottom of the mountain? After turning a few sharp turns and arriving at the viewing platform, I really saw the appearance of the legendary first town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The terraced distribution located on the mountainside corresponds to the surrounding high mountains, like an isolated island deep in the mountains. Looking at the distribution of houses in the ancient town from a distance, we can still see the prosperity of the ancient times.

Attractions: Lushi Ancient Town    

       Lushi Ancient Town is the first town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road in western Yunnan, and one of the three most mysterious ancient towns in China. In 2002, Lushi Ancient Town was rated as a provincial key protection unit. In 2006, Lushi Ancient Town was listed as a provincial historical A famous cultural town, in 2012 it was listed as one of the 210 characteristic small towns in the country; in 2013, the tea-horse ancient Daolu section became the seventh batch of national cultural relics protection units. In 2014, Yunnan University built the Yunda Shuyuan in Lushi to protect ancient towns and develop western Yunnan culture. Lushi Ancient Town is one of the top 50 ancient towns in Yunnan with a long history, especially during the Anti-Japanese War. A lifeline, the people of Lu Shi live on tea. Among them, Luo Yingcai was the first person in Lu history to plant tea artificially. And set up "Junchanghao" tea house, engaged in tea trade for a long time. There is also "Fengshan Chunjian" from Duan Yifu Tea Garden, which was one of the best Yunnan teas during the Republic of China. Due to various historical reasons, both "Junchang" and "Fengshan Chunjian" disappeared.

       Lushi Ancient Town is one of the well-preserved and large-scale ancient architectural complexes in western Yunnan. On the whole, the layout of the street and the construction style of the houses have strong religious and cultural characteristics. At the same time, because Lushi ancient town is located on the main road of the ancient tea-horse road, with a long history, people from south to north settled here to do business. While the scale of the street continues to expand, a gathering of people with "three streets, seven alleys and one square" has been formed. The unique pattern of the head of the family. With Sifang Street as the center point of the longitude and latitude of the market town, they are distributed in a circular shape. The residential buildings mainly imitate the northern courtyards and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang style courtyards, with a first floor, a bottom, three grids and three building roofs, and mud tiles to seal the fire wall. There are gardens in quadrangle courtyards and flower beds in triple courtyards, and there are murals, poems, and couplets painted on them, hoping that the house will be square, store wind and gather energy, and be warm and prosperous. At the same time, the residential building model is influenced by the culture of the Bai nationality in Dali, and it also has the architectural complex of Nanzhao style. ——From Baidu Encyclopedia

        There are deep and shallow horseshoe prints on the bluestone slabs in the ancient town, and there are still people living in the dark yellow earth-based houses, which belong to private houses. Because it has not been well developed, everything is still so chaotic, but the chaos is also external, and the ancient town is still calm and calm, leisurely.

DAY2 Lushi Ancient Town→Fengqing County→Yun County→Linxiang District

        After eating breakfast in the morning, return to the original road, cross the mountains, cross the Lancang River and return to Fengqing County, and start our loop with Fengqing County as the starting point. Today's journey is not as far away as yesterday's. Sure enough, there is no forward-looking road, and it will appear extraordinarily long. I was on the road all day today, and arrived in Linxiang District, Lincang City at around 5:00 pm. After dinner, I went to the Wal-Mart supermarket downstairs in the hotel. I used to go to a new place and visit their supermarket to see if there were any novel fruits and local products to satisfy my curiosity.

       It is about 84 kilometers from Lushi Ancient Town to Fengqing County. The mountain road has many bends and narrow roads, so it is necessary to drive carefully. It is about 108 kilometers from Fengqing County to Linxiang District. The national highway is a two-way lane and the road condition is good.

     

DAY3 Linxiang District→Shuangjiang County→Cangyuan County

         Another day on the road, the weather today is particularly good, all the way, mountains and mountains, and the high temperature that woke up when passing through Shuangjiang County. It is about 187 kilometers from Linxiang District to Cangyuan County. There is a section of expressway out of the city, about 10 kilometers away, followed by the national highway, two-way lanes, and the road condition is good.

Attractions:Wengding Wa Primitive Tribe

        Wengding, "a place surrounded by clouds and mist" in the Wa language. Wengding Village, as the last ethnic tribe in China from primitive society to socialist society, was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. We arrived around ten o'clock in the morning, and the whole village was foggy, until we left at twelve o'clock, the fog did not completely disappear. On both sides of the road into the village, there are rows of bull heads hanging on the wooden posts, which are suddenly very solemn. The admiration for the national totem always makes me feel very mysterious.

       During this time, Wengding Village was closed for house renovation, and construction workers and piled materials, such as wood, bamboo and thatch, were everywhere. Although there is no explanation, there is no long thatched roof that drags to the ground, and you can directly see the internal structure of the room. Looking at the announcement, it seems that it will be able to open normally by the end of November this year.

Attractions: Cangyuan Cliff Paintings

      Cangyuan cliff painting is one of the oldest cliff paintings discovered in my country, which was produced in the late Neolithic age more than 3,000 years ago. Eleven sites of cliff paintings have been found, distributed in Menglai Township, Dinglai Township, Mankan Township, Heping Township, and Mangguang Township in Gengma County, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province, generally on cliffs at an altitude of about 1,500 meters . The gray limestone walls are painted with ochre-red paintings, which the local Wa people call "Dandianmu", which means paintings on rocks. The height of each site of the cliff painting is about 2 to 10 meters from the ground, and the area of ​​the painting ranges from 1 to 30 meters. The small ones are composed of several scattered graphics, and the large ones have hundreds of images, 187 animals, 25 houses, roads, etc. There are 13 pieces, 35 various ideographic symbols; there are also images such as trees, boats, sun, clouds, mountains, and the earth. The depiction of figure graphics follows the rules of integrity, using monochrome and single line plus flat paint, omitting the details of facial features and other details, and expressing the various activities of the characters through the changing limbs. Most of these images have a certain central content, including hunting, grazing, dancing, returning home, entertainment, etc., which truly and vividly record various scenes of production and life of the ancestors. ——From Baidu Encyclopedia

Attractions: Yonghe Port

       The three scenic spots in Cangyuan County are not far from the county seat and the road conditions are very good. It is no problem to run through the three scenic spots in one day. In the afternoon, before the sun set, I drove to Yonghe Port. It is rare to see the port on the top of the mountain. From the viewing platform near the port, you can see the panorama of Cangyuan County and the scattered villages on the surrounding mountains. I heard that if you come in the morning, you can also You can see the sea of ​​clouds and the Wa villages hidden in the sea of ​​clouds.

DAY5 Cangyuan County: Guangyun Mian Temple → Zhenkang County

Attraction: Guangyun Myanmar Temple

       Guangyun Mian Temple is located on the north side of the main street of Mengdao Town, Cangyuan County. It is commonly known as "Xuetang Mian Temple", which was built in the Qing Dynasty. One of the monasteries affected. The architectural style is largely influenced by the architectural style of the Han nationality. It retains the basic form of the upper Buddhist temples passed down in the South. It is an organic combination of the appearance of the Han style architecture and the interior decoration of the Dai courtyard. There are 10 murals painted on the walls of the main hall. Most of the murals are outlined in ink and then filled with color. The style and technique are similar to those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Mainland. ——From Baidu Encyclopedia

         It is about 137 kilometers from Zhenkang County to Mengnuo. The national highway is in good condition. I have been on the road all day today, quietly enjoying the scenery along the way.

     After crossing the Nujiang River, we went from the boundary of Lincang City to the boundary of Longling County of Baoshan City. It is obvious that we have moved from the steep and cloudy mountains to the gentle slope of Pingba. This should be the biggest difference between the two cities in terms of landforms. .
