Zhongdu Ancient Town, as one of the well-preserved ancient residential groups, is one of the ancient towns around Liuzhou that is not overly commercialized! The Zhongdu Ancient Town, which was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, is a community of blue bricks and gray tiles, with wooden frames. There are still many well-preserved old shops, inns, ancient houses and other buildings, and there are still many original residents in the town. Elderly people taking a break, children swimming in the river, and aunties washing clothes on the shore, such simple folk customs, although most of the buildings in the ancient town have been renovated, the old stone roads still testify to the history of the town. ✨Scenic Spots✨ 🤜Cliff Carvings (1) The cliff carving 'One Side Guarantee' records the civil and military achievements of the Ming Dynasty in suppressing the Yao rebellion during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Through the smoke of history, through the tunnel of time, it seems to see the bloody scene of the Yao compatriots fighting against the bloody rule of the Ming Dynasty. (2) 'Jing Guan': This stone carving was originally located at the foot of the mountain in the western suburbs of Zhongdu. After the rulers suppressed the peasant rebel army in Zhongdu and Pingshan, they carved the two characters 'Jing Guan' in a huge stone weighing about 70 tons, with the right side reading 'Pacified the rebellion of the lower half of Luodou, beheaded more than 500 heads', and the left side reading 'Written in July of the third year of Wanli'. Luodou is now Pingshan Town. This stone was destroyed during the 'Learn from Dazhai in Agriculture' campaign in the 1970s when stones were taken for water conservancy construction. In 2005, the Cultural Department of Luzhai County restored it to the old county village Aoyu Mountain. (3) Niu Jiao Ao Stone Carving: Located on the side of the road at Sanmendai Niu Jiao Ao, 8 kilometers east of Zhongdu City, on a stone about 1 meter high and about 0.7 meters wide, the words 'Ten stone masons from Quanzhou recorded the good deeds of the Taiping Army, mouth-to-mouth, on the 27th day of the leap month' are carved. According to research, when the Taiping Army's Wing King Shi Dakai's department returned to Guangxi to attack Guilin City and failed, they abandoned the city and went south, passing through Zhongdu on the way from Yongfu to cross Dahua Mountain. From the unrefined calligraphy and carving, it was carved by the soldiers at the time or the 10 stone masons from Quanzhou who were carving stones here. It has great research value for military and history. In addition, Zhongdu also has the ancient Yu Yan fossil site, La Gan Yan cliff carvings and many other scenic spots and historical sites. 🤜Bronze Drum On May 18, 1985, it was discovered when digging for iron ore in Shitan Nong, 2 kilometers away from Zhongdu Town. The drum surface has a diameter of 66.6 cm and a height of 52.5 cm. There are 4 frogs and 2 war horses carrying warriors around it. The drum surface and the surroundings are all decorated with water wave patterns, spiral patterns, and grass patterns. It is preliminarily identified as a bronze drum from the Western Han Dynasty and is now stored in the Autonomous Region Museum. 🤜Qing Shi Yan 8 kilometers away from Zhongdu Town, the rock is about 200 meters long, the widest area is about 5000 square meters, and the narrowest part is only 50 cm. There are many stone scenes in the rock, each with a different shape. Xiangqiao Yan, located in the town, 12 kilometers away from the Zhongdu Town Government, the cave is 4 meters high, 60 meters long, and 22 meters wide. The stone scenery inside the cave is strange and varied. Outside the cave is a cliff and deep valley, more than 30 meters deep, with ravines and rocks at the bottom of the valley; a large stone hangs over a pool of clear water on the right side of the cliff; a hundred meters away, a majestic natural stone bridge spans the sky, majestic and spectacular, known as Xiangqiao. The river under the bridge is rolling and winding in the foothills. There are many poems and essays carved on the wall inside the cave, which people call 'Taoyuan Zhenjing' 🌺The scenery of Zhongdu Ancient Town is picturesque, with a rich cultural heritage. It is a good place for leisure travel and taking pictures.
