This ancient town is Xituo ancient town, which is located on a backwater in the south bank of the long holiday, hence its name. There is an idiom "one foot on three counties". According to the data, there was life here more than 6000 years BC. The most prosperous time should be the Qin and Han Dynasties. This is the most important salt selling town, and it was an important commercial place until the Qianlong period. In the 1990s, an American professor visited this place and found that the earliest commercial ancient town actually originated in China. After returning home, he told this ancient town to American students as a teaching material, so this ancient town is very famous in America. But it is not well-known in China.
Today, the fire in this ancient town is still because of the ladder street in the ancient town, because this street is very unique and has local characteristics. There are many scenic spots in this street, but most of them are palace-style, such as Ziyun Palace and Wantiangong, and most of them are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. But these are not the point. The most important thing is that this street is the only one perpendicular to the Yangtze River. The whole Cloud Street has 1 13 steps and 1 124 steps, which add up to exactly 13 14. This is why it is so popular with couples. So there is also a very romantic name "aristocratic love".
If you want to come here, it's best to encounter rainy days. At this time, walking on the steps, holding an umbrella, the misty and rainy scene is beautiful, as if being in the clouds, so psychedelic. Of course, it is also beautiful here on a sunny day, but it lacks a little artistic conception. It's no problem at any time if you have someone who is good at taking pictures with you.
As for the accommodation here, it's not very expensive, about 40-200 yuan, which is still acceptable. I wonder if anyone has been here?
