Chongqing Yongchuan·Songji Ancient Town|An ancient town with a rustic charm!

This ancient town still retains its simple appearance, the mossy tiles under the eaves are traces of the years flowing by. Fortunately, the slow pace of the town's residents makes the commercial atmosphere here not heavy at all, and the occasional cry of a vendor passing by adds an endless sense of life, lamenting that such ancient towns with a rustic charm are becoming less and less. The cultural heritage of the ancient town is profound, with numerous historical sites, characteristic courtyards, ancestral halls, temples and other historical and cultural landscapes are really rich. However, I heard that it will be developed here in the future, so hurry up and check in while the commercial atmosphere is not heavy~ 📷Scenic spot check-in: Ancient alley🏯: Some alleys have lanterns🏮 on top, which look good when looking up, and there are many craftsmen and intangible cultural heritage items inside, such as oil-paper umbrellas and straw-woven animals. Kuixing Pavilion: There's nothing good to see, just a flying sculpture🗿 at the door Yuhuang Temple: The overall landscape has taken shape but has not been fully opened. After entering the archway is a quadrangle, in the antique style, square and square, the magnificent Yuhuang Palace is facing the stage, rumored to be the place where the Jade Emperor watches the opera. The coiled dragon on the wooden beam is lifelike. Luo Family Ancestral Hall: Adjacent to Yuhuang Temple, the square quadrangle in the ancestral hall is bright and transparent, the stage supported by eight wooden pillars is well preserved, you can overlook the eaves of the ancestral hall and the flower and bird patterns carved on the door frame from the second floor, and you can also look at the tower on the river bank from a distance, under the sunlight, the green tile roof of the nearby Yuhuang Temple is clearly visible. Qin Family Mansion: It is still under construction inside, the buildings inside are well-arranged, and it is estimated that it will be another hot check-in spot after it is completed. Yongchuan County Yamen: It was locked when I went, there are sculptures of the county yamen inside, I took a sneak peek through the door, it's not bad. River dock: Follow the direction indicated by Yongchuan County Yamen, you can find the path to the river, the river bank here is different from other docks, the long stone bridge extends into the center of the river, fishing boats are moored on both sides, the river is sparkling under the sunlight, and the dock seems to have the rhythm of life. 🚗Transportation strategy: ①Chongqing Bus Station-Songji, 44 yuan ②Chongqing West Station Bus Station-Songji, 42 ③Chenjiaoping Bus Station-Songji Ancient Town one-way ticket, 42 ④Chenjiaoping Bus Station-Songji, 42 🍜Food recommendation: The prices in the ancient town are cheap, try the local nine big bowls, there are also many snacks, but remember to compare prices by visiting multiple shops
