Walking into the morning and dusk of Datong Ancient Town, the endless Chishui River, the slippery stone alleys are infiltrated by the light of the years, the dense vines on the riverside are entangled in the behemoth of old trees, and they have no clear distinction between each other. The Wanshou Palace, the King's Palace, and the Kanli Palace are built on the mountain, although they have been stripped away by the years. But the palace gates and archway that need to be looked up are still standing, solemn and upright. The ancient pier, the ancient archway, and the ancient temples are full of wind and frost. It is vaguely visible that the carved beams and painting buildings of the year, and the cottages built by wood, fir skin and small blue tiles are scattered and matched, flowing out a strong sense of history and literary style. In Dayun, the residents of the ancient town have long been used to tourists from the south to the north, accepting the guests who disturb their quiet life with an inclusive mentality, and decided to live their own slow life calmly. Datong Ancient Town is a pier that has experienced the prosperity and decay of the past. There are three very tall yellow birch trees next to the pier, although they are in the same place, but strangely, at the same time their leaves appear to be sprouting tender yellow, green lush, yellow withered three different situations, the changes of the years are explained in full. Experts can't explain why. The locals call these three trees "springs and autumns in the same world".

Passing by with my wife and children, you can simply stroll around, and punch a card ... The colored ancient town is very beautiful ... It is a bit worthless if you come here specially. The town is small and simple, less than an hour after shopping. There is a parking lot for parking, and it is also very close to the high-speed entrance. When I came, I came on the mountain road. The children were motion sickness. I went back to the decisive high speed. There is no charge for the three rounds. ... The toll of 3 yuan from Shanghai ...

[View] Very beautiful, [Cost-effective] Go shopping for a day

1. It's very close to the Four-hole Trench. Passing by, I went to see it. The ancient town is very historic and worth visiting. There is a special parking lot, convenient parking, parking fee 5 yuan. It's better than you think. It's not so remote. There are towns, hotels and restaurants in the old town. Of course, it's not as good as you think. 2. There is not too much commercialization in the ancient town. All the people living in the town are local people. They love planting flowers. They have nothing to do with tourism. Hydrangea is very beautiful. Ancient town tours are casual, the town is not big, soon finished, like to stay a little longer, do not like to take a glance and then go away. Tickets are 10 yuan and there are many exports. 3. Datong Ancient Town, with convenient land and water transportation, can reach Chongqing, Wuhan and Shanghai through the Chishui River into the Yangtze River. Various native products and raw and ripe medicinal materials from the dry road are delivered and transported here. Old wharfs were very large. When wooden bamboo rafts floated down the river, half of the river was covered with bamboo. Freighters supplied and repaired their sails here. The existing buildings of the ancient town were built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The buildings are connected by the vertical and horizontal axes of the streets, and arranged in one line. After stepping on the bluestone steps, the halls donated by businessmen from all over the country, the luxurious houses, the ancestral halls of the prestigious clan, a set of sacrificial buildings and ingenious designs have been preserved. Although they have become the stories of yesterday, they still retain the rigorous, meticulous, honest and noble spirit of the business community. In the most prosperous period, in a small town with less than 300 families, there were sixty or seventy iron shops open. Business flourished at home. Small iron tools such as nails and tips used on old ships became the main industrial products in Datong. At that time, there were few quiet days in Datong. The tinkling of iron and the sound of bellows were accompanied by the shouts of congratulations from ships to ships. Now everything is in the past. Dry roads have been built, goods have been diverted, and the stone steps of the wharf left behind are in a mess. No merchant ships have been moored for a long time.

The popularity is not very high, but the charm of the ancient town is still there.

As a backpacker from the north, after visiting Sidonggou on December 27, 2018, two yuan bus ticket sent me back to Datong Ancient Town. Getting out of the car on the right hand side, there is an old street, just for a foreigner to visit. The local people still live as they are, and they don't mind my tourist with a camera. It makes me very comfortable. It's definitely worth visiting here. It's very close to Chishui City. The bus at the passenger station will bring you here for 3 yuan and half an hour. At the same time, we visited thousands of Miao Village, Datong Ancient Town, Bian Ancient Town, Tucheng Ancient Town, Taiping Ancient Town and Maotai Town in Xijiang, Guizhou. Here is the most grounded gas, the kind of time solidification, years of quiet good feeling is very beautiful. The commercialization of thousands of Miao villages in Xijiang is not suitable for even lifting shoes. There are humanities in history. It can be done in about an hour. If you like to be dazed, here is absolutely OK.
