I finally came to Qianjiang and saw the world’s number one wind and rain covered bridge.

Zhuoshui Ancient Town, located in Qianjiang District, Chongqing, is the only 5A-level ancient town scenic spot in Chongqing. It is also a treasure place that cannot be missed when traveling to Chongqing. It not only has the "World's No. 1 Wind and Rain Covered Bridge", but also a spectacular underground river. Visitors are presented with a visual feast that perfectly integrates the leisurely ancient town with the spectacular underground river landscape. [Zhuoshui Ancient Town] Historically, it was a famous post station and commercial port in the Wuling Mountain area. It has convenient transportation and business conditions. It gave birth to the four major families of "Wang, Gong, Yu, and Fan". Today, there are still a large number of remains in the ancient town where they once lived. of ancient buildings, 6 of which are also listed as "Chongqing Key Cultural Relics Protection Units". The entire ancient town is not large in area and is spread out along the Apeng River. Most of the buildings are Tujia stilted buildings and the houses along the river are very beautiful. The inner streets and alleys generally have a pattern of "five streets, seven lanes, three palaces and seven courtyards", so you can stay here. Spend the day shopping slowly and visiting. The most representative landscape of the ancient town is the "No. 1 Wind and Rain Covered Bridge in the World" across the Apeng River connecting both sides. The entire covered bridge is 658 meters long. Its history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Later, due to natural disasters and fires, For other reasons, it has also gone through many repairs, but it has been restored very well, and the overall appearance is not inconsistent. In addition to the scenery of the ancient town, another trump card scenic spot in Zhuoshui is the "Puhua Underground River". There is a free shuttle bus from the ancient town to the entrance of the scenic spot. After arriving, you first walk through the cave and then take a boat through the 2-kilometer underground river. The scenery of the cave is beautiful enough, but the 150-meter-high natural stone bridge over the underground river is even more spectacular, especially the two middle ones that look like human eyes, which are obvious when photographed from above with an aerial camera. The chicken offal in Guzhen is also a must-try, you must eat it before leaving.
