Diverse cuisine, Let the air be filled with fragrance
As soon as you see the guests, there is an endless stream of guests, the stone road is filled with the footprints of travelers, and the "Laoguo Street" of Shuicheng Ancient Town comes into view. The two sides are bustling with people coming and going, and the air is filled with the aroma of delicious food, such as mutton noodles, sheep soup pot, old city steamed cakes, donkey rolling glutinous rice balls, spicy chicken noodles, spring rolls, brown sugar ice powder, and sugar paintings which are intangible cultural heritage. The specialty snacks are also one of the best in Shuicheng Ancient Town, making it a gourmet paradise for foodies.
The most distinctive delicacy is the pan. Since it is called "Laoguo Street", it is indispensable to explore its history. Shuicheng hot pot began in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. According to legend, when Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, stationed his troops in Liupanshui, he put tiles on the fire and roasted potatoes and other meat and vegetable wild food with lettuce oil to satisfy his hunger. This became the prototype and origin of Shuicheng braised pot.
Therefore, when you come to Shuicheng Ancient Town, it is indispensable to have a spicy, refreshing and endless aftertaste of the "Tour of the Tongue". As soon as the rich ingredients are put into the hot pot, the oil "sizzles" and the fragrance overflows. Pair it with a plate of hot pot chili noodles, and some cold beer. It's a joyful time between toasting and changing glasses. It's very enjoyable!
People are drunk, drunk in the mountains and rivers of this ancient town, drunk in this lively atmosphere.
The highest level of travel is to have fun, live safely, and eat happily! In order to seize development opportunities, Shuicheng Ancient Town combined actual conditions and local conditions, making use of the diverse food culture brought by supporters from various places during the "Third Front" construction period to enrich the characteristic food culture of the old town and vigorously develop Sichuan-Chongqing, Fujian-Guangdong, Huaiyang, etc. The cuisine retains the hearts of tourists with its original flavor and simple aroma of country rice.

Stepping into Siyuan Square, this kind of atmosphere hits your face. The third line is the root and soul of Liupanshui.

They used their youth and even their precious lives to forge the "third line" spirit of "hard work, courage to innovate, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication". For more than half a century, the "third-line spirit" has been deeply engraved into the blood and souls of Liupanshui people, continuing to write that they will never grow old and move forward!
Someone said: "This is a city pulled by a train." On March 4, 1966, the Liuzhi to Shushe section of the Guiyang-Kunming Railway was successfully connected at the Guanyinyan Bridge. The entire line was opened to traffic nine months ahead of schedule. The night of silence was broken, and the rumble of the train played the strong voice of the times.
Here, the benches in the ancient town are locomotives, as are the waste installations. Even the small manhole covers are engraved with locomotives. These objects symbolizing the "third-line spirit" have become iconic business cards for travelers to check in. No one can resist such an interesting and "bright color" full of red spirit.

Opposite the Guanzhai stop sign is a third-tier small theater. The best way to remember history is to make it visible to people. The theater reproduces the production and life scenes of the "third front" period through micro-films, dramas, cross talk, sitcoms and other performance forms, making the audience resonate in their hearts. "Third-line construction" is visible and tangible.
Continuing forward, you will encounter the Party History Education Base engraved with the logo of the Workers' and Peasants' Alliance at the corner. The slogan "Learn party history, understand ideas, do practical things, and open new games" makes people deeply feel the strong "third-line spirit." The "Third Front Construction Museum" collects representative production tools, daily utensils, historical documents, pictures, etc. during the "Third Front Construction" period. The history of the "Three Fronts" can be glimpsed in the museum.
