Enyang Ancient Town, Bazhong City.

Enyang Ancient Town, Bazhong City Enyang Ancient Town is located in Enyang District, Bazhong City, northeastern Sichuan. The Enyang River flows by, hence the name Enyang Ancient Town. Enyang Ancient Town has a long history and was originally developed from a wharf. It was once prosperous in ancient times when water transportation was dominant. In 1933, the Red Fourth Army established the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base, which added a strong revolutionary color to the ancient town. Enyang Ancient Town has a well-preserved group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is the best place to observe the unique residences in northeastern Sichuan. The magnificent buildings include the Hakka Guild Hall in Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian. Unfortunately, they are not open to the public. I visited Enyang Ancient Town during the National Day holiday in 2011. At that time, there were only 2 narrow main streets and some alleys. The ancient town was like a small mountain city with many steps on the streets and alleys. There was only one teahouse operating in the Red Army's military supply station, and there were no other shops or restaurants. Today, the development of Enyang District is very good. A new cultural tourism corridor has been built along the Enyang River. A gallery bridge has been built on the river to connect with the new urban area, becoming the main entrance of the ancient town. The river is still calm, just like time is slowly passing by. Make a pot of tea by the river and feel relaxed. The old neighborhoods in the original ancient town also have many restaurants, homestays, and other small shops. The snacks here are good, and I brought some sesame cakes home. The people in the ancient town are simple and enthusiastic. I booked a homestay in the ancient town on Trip.com. The owner's daughter took the initiative to contact me and guide me to the parking lot of the homestay.

Enyang Ancient Town Tour

Walking through the ancient town's bluestone alleys feels like stepping into the small town of my childhood memories. None of the old houses in the small town I lived in were preserved, and I envy how well Enyang has kept its heritage intact. The ancient alleys are connected by stone steps, leading to another alley, stretching endlessly with clear layers. Walking here is like traveling through time and space to see the former prosperity of the ancient town. The guild halls, theaters, docks, and teahouses are bustling with people. This town has not been completely commercialized, and the locals live what I consider an idyllic life. Chatting with the local aunties, listening to their stories about this place... Enyang Ancient Town

The former site of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Soviet Revolutionary Tribunal

Located in the ancient town of Enyang in Bazhong City, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Soviet Revolutionary Tribunal during the Agrarian Revolutionary period is a wooden building with a blue tile roof. Upon entering the main gate, a spacious hall appears in front of you, with two small rooms on each side. The wooden building is constructed according to the terrain, and passing through the hall leads to the stairs going downstairs. The stone-built patio lets in sunlight, adding a few bright colors to the courtyard. The small rooms downstairs were used for detention in the past. The owner of the house has not changed the original appearance of the tribunal, and it has remained the same for decades.

Enyang Wanshou Palace

Wanshou Palace is located at the head of Qifeng Corridor Bridge in Enyang Ancient Town, and was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty by Jiangxi merchants who came to Enyang for business. The palace faces west and adopts the traditional Chinese architectural layout, symmetrically arranging the theater tower, wing rooms, courtyards, front hall, and main hall along the central axis from the foundation, forming a complex quadrangle courtyard. The structure is made of brick and wood, with small blue tile roofs, and the walls are fired with bricks inscribed with the words 'Wanshou Palace'. The top of its theater tower is decorated with spiral algae wells, creating an echo effect when water drips; under the overhanging eaves of the theater tower, ancient figures are carved, as well as patterns of two dragons holding treasures and double phoenixes facing the sun. The wing buildings on both sides of the theater tower are reserved for VIPs, and there are music towers on both sides of the stage, with crossbeams carved with various ghost and monster stories.

Reverse travel in Bazhong 3

🌈 Nankang Grottoes, I always heard the older generation talk about going to Bazhong to attend the market and climb Nankang Slope, which is the sentiment of the older generation here. I also visited here more than ten years ago, and I remember there was a small zoo at that time. This time, it feels like a lot has changed. The ticket is 40 yuan per person, which is only for the grottoes. Many niches are from the Tang Dynasty, which are indeed quite nice, but charging 40 is a bit expensive. Within a radius of 50 meters from the grottoes, there is the Medicine King Hall, Ebony Well, and Stele Forest (which can hardly be called a forest), and you can see it all at a glance. After leaving the grottoes, there is a pavilion up the hill, I suddenly forgot the name, you can take the elevator directly to the top floor, overlooking the entire Bazhong city. After the visit, I walked around nearby and saw children reading the text on the monument, and suddenly remembered what I saw online before, 'To talk about Bazhong, one should not mockingly talk about its sweet potato porridge. Bazhong has the largest Red Army martyrs' cemetery in China, as well as countless delicious foods and sceneries.' 🌸 Enyang Ancient Town, among the ancient towns in Sichuan I've visited recently, Enyang Ancient Town indeed has a lot of delicious food, mainly concentrated in spicy hot pot, fermented glutinous rice with ice, fried small fish, etc., and they also sell the sugar flowers from my childhood. Because I ate too much at noon, I didn't eat much of the snacks. I wandered around for a long time without getting hungry, and there was a light show in the evening, which I watched for a while, and it was not inferior to Nanqiao. ☀️ Dry-fried Intestines Crispy and fragrant with a hint of bean sprouts, it's really too delicious, it's the best fried intestines I've ever had, it's really amazing! ☁️ Braised Intestines Not greasy at all, the potatoes inside are also super flavorful. It changed my previous opinion of never eating braised intestines. ✨ Crispy Pancake Double-Cooked Pork Although this restaurant is known for intestines, we really like double-cooked pork, so we ordered one to try. It's the first time I've had crispy pancake stir-fried with double-cooked pork, and it's really amazing, crispy and fragrant, and the garlic sprouts and fermented black beans are super appetizing with rice! 💫 The rice is also worth mentioning, it's the kind of loose and fluffy rice we really like, and there are even green beans on top, the barrel rice is very fragrant. It's no wonder it's the top-ranked Sichuan cuisine locally! Not a single dish was a disappointment! The owner is very honest, saying that two dishes would be enough for us because the portions are large, which is true, but we wanted to try more so we ordered three dishes, and the owner even gave us a side dish to relieve the greasiness, which was also delicious. I may not go back to Chengdu, but for the sake of this restaurant in Bazhong and the experience of staying in the hotel last night, we all agree that we will definitely come back to Bazhong! Restaurant Name: Qiu's Intestines Address: 2nd Floor, Walmart on Binhe Yipan, Bazhong

One thousand five hundred years ago, Enyang was the "Yiyang County" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has been the Mi Cang Ancient Road connecting Sichuan and Shaanxi since ancient times. "It is difficult to get on the road, and it is difficult to go to the sky." The waterway is the only way to walk outside the mountains. Enyang is the water and land terminal of the ancient times. In the past, the famous poets Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Dongpo, Lu You, and Huang Tingjian, all came into Sichuan and went back to the water. The old tree under the old dam, the rivers and rivers that the ducks and geese swim, seem to be not amazing, but it was the big pier where the merchant ships gathered together. According to the report, when the Ming and Qing Dynasties flourished, Enyang had thousands of daily visitors, thirty-seven large and small streets, and hundreds of shop vendors. It has become a huge town with a million people: in the age of people, People can be called giant! Today's Enyang can only look back on the glory of the past from the remains of thousands of years of bonfire. In the west of the ancient town, there are Foer Rocks from the Song Dynasty and Buddhism, and there are hundreds of stone cliff statues left in the past; Wenzhizhai and Wenchang Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty, the legend and history intersect with each other; the oil square street, ginger The hanging foot of the city street is the bayan residence of the black tile white wall and wooden pillars; the old house in the passing house is enshrined with "the heavens, the earth, the monarch, the pro, the teacher", a few pillars of incense, lingering, silently talking about the water and land terminal Past stories. This thousand-year-old town on the edge of the Jialing River suffered from flash floods eight years ago. After the flooding, there was not much scarring left. Walk in the old stone slabs and lanes of the twists and turns, filled with peace and tranquility of life: Children squatting on their own threshold, bored looking at passers-by; old people leaning against bamboo chairs stonemason paving the head of the stonemason who grinds the stone tablet, hands up and down, concentrates on the street, and looks up at the street scene; Old Street, the old man from the mountain, behind the back Onion and garlic, went back and forth for a long time and did not sell it; brown sugar twist shop, a brown sugar sesame cake, brown sugar twist, only on the case.

Riverside, standing with a mottled stone mottled. Under the old banyan tree, an old man smashed a long pipe, half leaning on the polished bamboo chair, squinting his eyes, smoking a cigarette, and having a conversation with his mother-in-law. A bowl of tea in front of it continued and continued. Granny does not drink tea, speaks in her mouth, and has a sole in her hand. During the sewing of the needle thread and the disappearance of the cigarette, the sunset converges on the afterglow, and it falls in the water of the Enyang River and flows away. Guzhen people, live here, and grow old here.

The ancient town next to the Enyang River, one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan, is different from other commercialized ancient towns. It is rarely known that many residents live here, but there are very few tourists. "The sound of rain in the ancient town, the bluestone is far away", I think this is what the ancient town should look like. The old town that is too crowded will lose the fun and leisure of the ancient town. In the ancient town of Enyang, there are 28 ancient streets in the present, and hundreds of ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are preserved. During the walk, although there are old people or children passing by, there is still a sense of tranquility and walking. No matter how good it is, fly a plane for a while, look at the ancient town from another perspective.

Xiazhen Street is the most red street in the ancient town. The red slogan is on the wall. However, it has been destroyed by the Kuomintang and the wind and the rain.

Therefore, it was also the distribution center of materials in northeastern Sichuan. It can reach Nanjing and Wangcang ascending to Chongqing and even Shanghai. Only the prosperity of the past has ceased to exist, leaving this ancient city of the millennium. Below the water pier is a flat stone bridge in the Southern Song Dynasty - Qifeng Bridge, which has been in existence for thousands of years. The slate of the bridge deck weighs 5 tons and has to praise the great construction skills of that time.
