Traditional Culture Painted on the Earth - Tekes Bagua City

No one can resist the night view of Tekes Bagua City! Especially the blue tones of the sunset and evening glow!! The giant painting drawn by human hands on the earth, outlined by the lights, combined with the dazzling colors casually splashed by nature in the sky, makes the entire evening a mesmerizing moment. Bagua City is laid out according to the Bagua of the I Ching. The entire county area has interconnected roads and streets, with a magical maze-like layout of 64 Bagua streets. The county town is circular and radial, and every intersection is a roundabout, with no traffic lights. Of course, to see the overall layout, you still need to fly a drone. Even the Taiji Altar at the core of the Bagua and the Ferris wheel in the suburbs are not high enough to see the full view of the Bagua City streets. Special praise must be given to the drone management and filing in Tekes, which is really very simple. You can directly fill out the form and fly at the on-site office booth of the police station in the core area of the county town. Compared to other places where someone had to run three times only to be told that personal applications are not accepted, it’s truly worlds apart. The homestays in Tekes are all concentrated in the “Li Street”, which corresponds to the “Li Gua” in the Bagua. Li means beauty and attachment. The Li Gua has two and five yin lines, yin being virtual. Li also represents fire, whose characteristic is virtual, unable to generate itself, and must attach to other things to shine. As a street themed for homestays, it means passionate as fire, welcoming guests from all directions. It also implies mutual dependence and trust between hosts and guests. Traveling here not only gives you an education in traditional culture, but the night market is also great, and the cost performance of the homestays here is indeed good, without the vicious competition seen in many other places.
