Chongqing Tourism | The magnificent ancient town on the Yangtze River - Yongchuan Songgai

The newly built group of buildings at the entrance of the ancient town is Kuixing Pavilion, which is of high quality. There are also many buildings on the old street that are being rebuilt and are beginning to take shape. I never reject newly built traditional buildings or so-called antique buildings. Traditional buildings themselves also need to be developed. As long as the quality is good enough, they are buildings that can stand the test of time and be passed down to future generations. I just hope that my favorite blue and white porcelain inlay can be a little more transparent and used more. The Jade Emperor's Temple is the largest building in the ancient town, located in the center of the town. Its history can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is the best and most sincere work I have seen in the rebuilt Taoist temples in the Sichuan and Chongqing region in recent years. The stone and wood carvings are exquisite, the colors are harmonious, and the two dragon pillars are vivid. They can also be considered as fine works passed down to future generations. There is a ten-mile bluestone road in the ancient town, which ranks first among the ancient towns in Chongqing. Walking in it, it feels simple and friendly. The Luo Family Ancestral Hall in the town is the common ancestral hall of the Luo family in the southwest region. The existing scale was rebuilt in the 43rd year of Qianlong. 🏠 🚄Transportation tips: Depart from Chongqing city, get off at the high-speed rail 'Yongchuan East Station', and then transfer to the bus to the town. There are no tickets for the scenic spots in the scenic area.
