Qingmuchuan｜Echoes of Time in the Ancient Border Town

#SeptemberDestinations2025 The ancient town of Qingmuchuan lies serenely nestled among mountains, its bluestone streets stretching out and its Ming and Qing dynasty buildings scattered in a patchwork of patterns. Walking through the long, quiet streets, the wooden lattice windows and carved doors exude the subtle fragrance of time. The town flourished along the ancient Tea-Horse Road, but the bustling trade and travel have long since faded, leaving only a lingering, ancient charm. Walking along the river, the water reflects the blue tiles and white walls, and the sounds of children playing and the creaking of wooden buildings interweave into a moving melody. As night falls, the lights reflect on the water, creating a scene that transports you through time and space. Qingmuchuan is more than just an ancient town; it is a tender memory of history, a place where you can count the days and appreciate the world in peace.
