Photos of Luocheng Ancient Town

The architectural layout of Qianweiluo City is very unique. The reason for the construction of this small town is very interesting. According to legend, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, a foreign scholar came here. Seeing the local people suffering from water shortage and extremely inconvenient life, he could not help but recite a few words "Luocheng is dry at the wharf, and the clothes do not last long. If you want water to become a river, Luocheng builds a boat. The boat travels in the water, and if there is a boat, there will be water.” The local people actually believed that the renovation of the building was a good way to solve the problem of water shortage, so they donated money to build it. Rare town. This boat-shaped ancient town is more than 2,000 meters long and 650 meters wide. The main street runs north-south, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. The street is undulating like a deck in the waves; the theater in the street is so high, like a high sail. The Lingguan Temple at the end of the street is like the cabin of a sailing ship. There is a row of shade corridors about 200 meters long and 6 meters wide on both sides of the street, which are like boat awnings, also known as "boat hall street". This surviving old street still retains some of the cultural features of the old Sichuan culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
