From Chengdu to Wenchuan, you will definitely pass through the ancient town of Shuimo; just stepping into the ancient town, you don't feel that it is different from other ancient towns, lanterns, stage, archway, and small vendors selling local specialties on both sides of Shiban Road.
However, when you savor the corners of the ancient town, you can still find the vivid and lively essence of Han, Tibetan and Qiang national architecture on the old street; the ancient town of Shuimo is located in the tributary of the Lancang River in the south of Wenchuan County. On the banks of the Shouxi River, as early as in the Shang Dynasty, it was known as the hometown of longevity.
At the time of the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, it was destroyed. Later, under the aid of Foshan in Guangdong, the ancient town of Shuimo was born again, and the people who were stubborn and unyielding in the disaster-stricken areas were assisted by the help of all walks of life in the motherland. Returning to the old town life that was once happy and peaceful. In the ancient town, there is also the Wenchuan Bayi Primary School, which was built by the Second Artillery.
Time is an eternal record of history. Some imprints may be blurred, but they will never be forgotten.
