Moxi Ancient Town

Moxi Ancient Town is at the foot of Hailuogou Scenic Area. It is a small town with Tibetan characteristics. The town is not very big, but it takes half a day to go around. It is the same as all the tourist towns that have been developed. There is a commercial street. There is a hotel and a tavern. You know everything. But the scenery is beautiful and it is a must to enter Hailuogou!

The first stop of the West Sichuan Tour: Moses Ancient Town - Hailuogou unique Western Sichuan folk architectural style is breathtaking, warm people of Western Sichuan, delicious wild vegetables, fungus. In the hot July weather, this place is particularly cool, the temperature is only more than 20 degrees, very comfortable. If conditions are available, you can stay here for a long time to escape the heat.

Moxi Ancient Town belongs to Luding County, so it is more convenient to go from Luding County. It is 20 yuan by car from the bus station. Of course, you can also take the bus from Kangding. The main purpose of going to Moxi is to see Hailuogou Glacier. The ancient town is also worth seeing. Most of them are wooden buildings. They are completely different from Tibetan buildings in other areas. They are closer to the mainland. The Red Army lived here during the Long March.

Starting from Chengdu at 8:00 a.m., driving westward all the way through Erlang Mountain Tunnel, crossing Erlang Mountain at 2119 m above sea level, and walking along the Dadu River along the village road came to Moxi Town around 3:00 p.m. The town's folkways are simple, and the streets behind the town's highway are lined with ancient wooden buildings, Handmade Silver shops and style bars!

The ancient town of Moxi was built on a sloped high platform and flattened on three sides of the north and west, and the entrance of the ancient town was split into two roads. One led to the ancient town, one through the new city, and the circle was formed after the city. In the ancient town laid with stone, the buildings gathered on both sides of the road. The ancient houses are actually rare, and the most distinctive is the Catholic Church built by French missionaries in 1918. In 1935, the Red Army Long March passed by here, and Chairman Mao Zedong stayed in the Catholic Church and held the famous Moxi Conference. Then the Red Army seized the Luding Bridge, and Chairman Mao followed the Red Army to cross the Luding Bridge. The ancient town of Moses was a valley on both sides of a valley, a bit like a husband and a husband. The ancient city is not estimated to be about one to two kilometers. There is no other road in a straight line. The difference between other ancient towns in the ancient town is that there are not so many small commodities from Yiwu. I feel that there is more local characteristics. The yogurt in the ancient town is worth a try. There is also a bar decorated with beer bottles in the ancient town that is perfect for taking pictures.

Worth going! The ancient town of Moses retains the European style of architecture. It has a perfect Catholic church, temporary residence during the Long March of the Red Army, and a street of music bars. It is a combination of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. The unique charm of Conch Trench lies in the coexistence of glaciers and vegetation in the mid-latitude zone, at an altitude of more than 2000 meters.

Moxi Town, Hailuogoukou, retains its original simplicity (but now it has begun to be commercialized). Many old houses are being renovated, as if they were sorry for the old house without being turned into bars and inns. The original taste is being diluted. The first and second photos were taken in 2008.
