Notes on the highlights of Qianyang Ancient City

Highlight 1: Long history

The ancient city of Qianyang was established as a county seat at the confluence of the Yuanjiang River and the Weishui River in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC). It has lasted for 2,200 years . It is 1,400 years earlier than Dayan Town in Lijiang, Yunnan, and older than the same town in western Hunan. The ancient city of Fenghuang is 900 years old.

This is one of the best-preserved ancient cities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the country. It is also the most authentic secluded city that is rarely preserved in China.

● There are many buildings in the city, which are ingenious, well-proportioned, simple and elegant.

As a place where literati of all ages recited poems and painted, Qianyang has its charm.

There are Nazheng Street, Bell and Drum Tower, Wanshou Palace, Zhuangyuan Bridge, Laoxian Yamen, Baoshan Academy, Dragon King Temple, Laoye Lane, Chifeng Pagoda and Furong Tower known as "the first scenic spot in the upper reaches of southern Chu" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. More than 40 ancient buildings.

Xiaoqi thinks

Rather than saying that the ancient city of Qianyang is a tourist attraction, it is better to say that it is an ordinary city that accumulates time.

There are many houses here that have passed through time, and old people who have spent half their lives. But neither the city nor the people are gloomy, but more like the morning sun. Although history is everywhere here, it has strong vitality and its own unique charm.

If you want to relax and be clean, you might as well come to Qianyang~
