The original ecological ancient town after the "most" in Sichuan is deeply hidden among Cangshan and Baiyun, accompanied by the first Buddha in the world.

Hello, I'm Xijiang Yuyue. I like staring blankly, reading books and walking alone. Let's go to the countryside, to the fireworks market, to experience the bright colors of the world of mortals, and to feel the same or different lives.

Some people say that Longhua Ancient Town is the last ancient town in Sichuan. Yibin people will say, "To see the real ancient town, go to Longhua."

Longhua Ancient Town is located in pingshan county, Yibin City, Sichuan Province. It was named after an ancient temple built in the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Zhuge Liang led troops through this place when he conquered Meng Huo in the Three Kingdoms.

Longhua Ancient Town was founded in Song Dynasty, and has formed the scale of ancient town by Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has been an important garrison in Sichuan border defense since ancient times. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it was stationed in Longhua, and it was changed to the headquarters of Ping 'an Camp in the ninth year of Yongzheng. The garrisons in Pingshan, Mabian, Muchuan and Leibo are all under the jurisdiction of Longhua Ping 'an Capital. Castles and forts were built in the first year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (185 1), and castles were restored in subsequent capitals.

Longhua ancient town is surrounded by water on three sides. Dalongxi and Xiaolongxi meet in the north of the town and then flow into the Minjiang River. In the south, Laojun Mountain, with an altitude of 2008.7 meters, is known as the "first peak in southern Sichuan".

There are three bridges and two streams around a town. There are three bridges in Longhua ancient town. The most famous ones are, of course, the two bridges across Xiaolongxi. Longhua Bridge was built in Guangxu's Xin Chou period, about 200 meters long and 5 meters wide. The Shishi, which was originally placed in the yamen of Longhua Dusi, was also moved to the bridgehead of Liangqiao for people to enjoy.

The whole bridge is made of wood, and the deck is paved with planks. There is a gap between each board, and you can see the stream below. There are wooden fences on both sides of the bridge for people to sit and rest, and many plaques are hung on the corridor beams, which are written with the words "Rainbow Autumn", "Old Beauty", "Beautiful Shadow", "Sunset Mountain", "Dragon and Phoenix Prosperous" and "mainstay".

The ancient and tall trees on both sides of the two bridges are intertwined and leafy, which should be hundreds of years old. This quiet and beautiful cool bridge is a place for local people to cool off in summer. When they came to the bridge in summer, a breeze blew on their faces. The clear stream under the bridge flows slowly, and the coolness slowly seeps into the bridge, making people's summer heat suddenly disappear.

The ancient town is not big, there are no antique buildings, no mansions, no manors, and no former residences of great men. Only the bluestone slabs polished by the years and the ancient houses still inhabited, the main street is only two or three meters wide, and the narrowest place is only about one meter.

These three ancient streets are paved with stone slabs. The slate is uneven and undulating. About 1000 ancient wooden houses extend along both sides of the street. Most of these houses are shops and houses in Ming and Qing dynasties, all of which are traditional wooden structures. Most of the buildings are bungalows or wooden buildings with one floor and one bottom.

When there is no market, there are few people on the street, and the doors of many shops are closed, which is very deserted. Every 1, 4, 7, the surrounding villagers will bring something from their homes to trade.

The mountain opposite Longhua Old Street is Baxian Mountain, with an altitude of 89 1 meter. As the name implies, Baxian Mountain has eight peaks. According to the local people, it's like eight arhats sitting cross-legged in a row, which is why they have such a fairy name.

The bamboo forest on Baxian Mountain is lush, and there is an ecological tea garden at the top of the mountain. The scenery is beautiful and very eye-catching. It is a famous forest town, and the most famous one on this mountain is a standing Buddha statue.

This 32-meter-high Eight Immortals Mountain Buddha was originally the third largest Buddha in the world. 200 1 After two standing Buddha statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, which were 53 meters and 35 meters high respectively, were destroyed by gunfire, the Eight Immortals Mountain Buddha changed from the third in the world to the first in the world.

The Eight Immortals Mountain Buddha is one of the top ten Buddha statues in the world. This standing Buddha is a statue of Sakyamuni, carved on the cliff of Danxia, the main peak of the Eight Immortals. The back of the giant Buddha faces north, the Buddha's head is tied in a bun, and the treasure image is solemn. The left hand stands upright on the chest and the right hand droops naturally.

According to experts' research, the Eight Immortals Buddha was built in the late Ming Dynasty, more than 400 years ago. The Buddha in Eight Immortals Mountain has no feet, but only cuts his knees. This is the local explanation. This is deliberately not cut, because the giant Buddha has feet to wash his feet, so the ancient town of Longhua at the foot of the mountain will be flooded.

On the top of the Eight Immortals Mountain, the world's first Buddha smiled at the white clouds and pale dogs, silently guarding this landscape figure.
