This ancient town named Longfeng Mountain is located in Yichuan County, Luoyang, and it takes 2 hours to drive from Zhengzhou. It's a little cold in early winter, especially after sunset, and the ancient town is disappointed if it doesn't look good.
Fortunately, it didn't disappoint people, and there was even some unexpected joy. This is a new ancient town, brand-new buildings, brand-new city walls, and it smells fresh inside and outside.
Although the building is new, its cultural heritage is long. Yichuan county is a famous humanistic county. Fan Zhongyan lived here for a short time in Song Dynasty, and Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi and other famous Neo-Confucians gave lectures here. Yichuan in the Northern Song Dynasty was a famous city with brilliant writing style.
Yichuan is not as famous as before. People only know Luanchuan and Songxian when they mention Luoyang, and Yichuan seems to be a neglected corner. Perhaps it is for this reason that Yichuan County built such an ancient town, a new ancient town centered on Song Wenhua.
According to reports, the complete scale of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain has reached 5,000 mu, and it is estimated to cost 3 billion yuan. It is free to open to the public without admission. So although it is a new ancient town, there is no shortage of tourists in Longfeng Mountain, and people come and go every day, which is very lively.
There is a towering wall at the entrance. Standing on the wall and looking out, the ancient town is layered and patchwork, which is very beautiful. Maybe there are too many elements to express. The ancient town is a bit nondescript, with both the cultural elements of the Northern Song Dynasty and the customs of the Republic of China, as well as the feeling of several caves in Shaanxi, which is dazzling.
But on the whole, this is a good place to take pictures and punch in. Under the small bridge and flowing water, between Zhuge's houses is a good place to take pictures. I saw many girls in Hanfu, and they were taking pictures of each other. As a new ancient town, it is a success in itself to make tourists interested in taking photos and sharing them.
On the north side of the ancient town is a playground, with ferris wheel, bumper cars, rainbow slides, dance machines and other facilities. According to the truth, ancient towns that pay attention to history should not have these amusement facilities, but since they choose to open for free, they have to have other income, so the playground is naturally the best way.
It can be seen that Longfeng Mountain wants to please the young audience and has also built a real CS venue in the block. The style of being rigid and soft is really abrupt. There are also small trains on Min Guo Street, which have special tracks and run at a fixed time every day.
During the day, the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain is relatively dull, and when night falls, it is another look. It is no exaggeration to say that this should be the ancient town of the first night in Henan. All the buildings are covered with lights, resplendent and dazzling everywhere, and the patchwork layout creates a visual level that looks like a palace.
I like the night view of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain, which is colorful. The red lanterns hung between ancient towns exude charming red, bringing warm breath to the cold night. The Ferris wheel behind the ancient town radiates strange light, which complements the attic and forms a wonderful picture.
It is suggested to take a "spaceship" and overlook the night view of the ancient town in the air, which makes you feel like you have entered the fairy tale world of Miyazaki Hayao. Some people compare the night view of the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain with the ancient town of Fenghuang. Now it seems that this is true.
After visiting the ancient town, remember to eat a bowl of "sweet potato noodles", which is a local characteristic. It is made of sweet potato starch. Put on peppers and vegetables, you will be sweating all over, and you will never be afraid of the cold when you go out.
Generally speaking, the ancient town of Longfeng Mountain is worth a visit, with dreamy night scenes and picturesque customs. You can take your family to see it on weekends.
Address: Northwest Yichuan County, Luoyang, no admittance.
