This city wall is like a dragon in the mountains, one man is in charge, and no one can open it

Laitan Ancient Town Laitan Ancient Town Located 32 kilometers east of Hechuan City, Chongqing. It was built in the Song Dynasty. It is one of the first batch of historical and cultural towns in China, the top ten ancient towns in China, and the first batch of "China's most beautiful towns and villages". The ancient town is surrounded by water canals, gathering ancient temples, ancient cities, and ancient Buddhas in one, with beautiful scenery. It is surrounded by three cliffs and has the dangerous characteristics of "one man is in charge, no one can open". Laitan Ancient Town is divided into two parts, the upper field and the lower field, and the two parts are relatively close. They are like brothers and sisters, one high and one low, one up and down, one hard and one soft, echoing each other. The site is located on Jiufeng Mountain in Xiongshi Canal. It is magnificent, the city wall in the village is very high, like a dragon in the mountains. Laitan Village covers an area of 0.25 square kilometers. These four doors are cross-symmetrical. The walls in the village are all made of half-meter-long stones. This wall is 7 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. It contrasts sharply with modern architectural structures and has a unique ancient atmosphere. There are narrow and winding stone streets and alleys, and more than 400 Qing Dynasty residences. The small green tile buildings with wooden structures basically retain the original appearance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Simple and elegant, it gives people a feeling of returning to simplicity and stepping into a quiet mountain city. 📍Detailed address: 28 kilometers northeast of Hechuan District, Chongqing Laitan Town 🕙Business hours: Open all day 💰Tickets: 30/person
