Many people have heard of a saying, "Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan is a family", the three provinces are geographically close to each other, folk customs, dialects are similar. If you want to talk about the three provinces together, not only culture, customs are similar, but also the Chishui River. Chishui River, although not as famous as many rivers in China, but it is also a household name. Because when the Red Army's long march, there was a "four across the Chishui" story, and this story has inspired generations of young people.
Speaking of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, nature is inseparable from the Chishui River, because the origin of the Chishui River in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, southwest of the town of Dugazhai turnip, through Guizhou, Sichuan, and finally in Sichuan Province, Hejiang County, joins the Yangtze River, belonging to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the south bank of the stream. So Chishui River is considered the bordering area of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. And this river also has a very beautiful name, called "Wine River". Because the Chishui River flows through the place, produced a lot of Chinese wine, here will not be detailed. Because of the heroic deeds of the four crossings of the Chishui River, the Chishui River also has the name of "Heroic River".
In the middle of Chishui River, there is an ancient town worth talking about, which is known as one of the four major ancient towns in Guizhou, Bianan Ancient Town. Propan ancient town built on the water, geographic location is very special, is connected to all parts of Qianzhong must pass through, put in the Cold War era, counted on the transportation fortress, the soldiers must fight. When Sichuan salt into Guizhou, most of the merchants, horse gangs are gathered in the ancient town of Propan, and the Red Army Long March is also and Propan ancient town has a lot of links, so Chishui River is now Guizhou's historical and cultural town, but also an important area of red tourism.
In the ancient town, there is a cliff stone carving, this stone carving is the masterpiece of the Republic of China period, the monument on the body of the "benefit and neighboring" four large characters in running script, counting on an ancient town card place. The ancient fortress gate of Bing'an Village is also of some age and history.

The ancient town also has the Huanglian Temple, built in the Qing Dynasty, which sits east to west, covers an area of 210 square meters, and was rebuilt several times during the Daoguang period. The Bianan Fiber Road is also a good place to visit, the formation of the fiber road at that time was for the transportation of materials. Nowadays, some of the stone slabs have been damaged due to the age. There are also the ruins of Caofo Temple and Yuwang Palace in the town.

Pian Ancient Town is located in the north of Guizhou near Sichuan Yunnan Chishui City, is one of the four major ancient towns of Guizhou, which was once a pier of the Chishui River is also an important water station, when the Red Army four Chishui also happened here. Because of the geographic remoteness and inconvenient transportation, the ancient town has been preserved quite complete and simple. Although Guizhou's four towns, but also a historical and cultural town, but also one of the country's 100 red tourism classic, but Bian An ancient town in the tourism industry is not very famous, come here to sightseeing tourists are not many, only the big holidays, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and other neighboring tourists will be full of this place, weekdays to go to the less quiet, is a rare good place to cultivate the mind and spirit.
From a distance, the ancient town is built on a boulder, the Chishui River roars past from underneath, and the footstools built along the river stretch for hundreds of meters, very spectacular. In the rainy season, the green hills surrounded by misty rain, very interesting. The town is not big, the stone road in the town winding, in the main street corridor on both sides of the red lanterns and umbrellas, for the town to add a festive atmosphere.

Tour Chishui Propan Ancient Town, nine experiences as much, before the trip
Continuously wrote a number of Chishui Propan Ancient Town of the graphic, we are tired of seeing it, right? The people with the tourists to visit the ancient town of Bian only need 40 minutes, and I stayed in the ancient town of 4 days and 3 nights, there are netizens after the text commented that the palm size of the ancient town, I really do not know why you stayed for such a long time?
The best way to get to Propane Township is to drive, and follow the navigation. I took a 40-minute bus ride from Chishui's long-distance bus terminal to Bian An Ancient Town, which was particularly convenient. This Chishui long-distance bus terminal can solve almost all your transportation needs. Staying next to the bus station is a good choice for touring the major attractions around Chishui. When you arrive at the ancient town, you must do these nine things to make the trip worthwhile.
Experience one, walk the iron cable bridge over the Chishui River. The ancient town's iron cable suspension bridge is very special, with a cable-stayed plank deck. Here is the only way for tourists to enter the town, of course, driving tourists can bypass this cable bridge, around the back of the town on the mountain road, but there is no good Parking, it is best to park the car to the side of the new district of Propan, walking across the cable bridge to play the ancient town. Now the implementation of the ticket price of 10 yuan per person, and get in the hands of the ticket face clearly written 20 yuan, I think there must be a story. The iron rope bridge is unmanned in the morning and evening, so you can come and go freely. If you want to experience the life of the old town and stay in the inns in the old town, then you have to keep the tickets and enter and exit in case of checking.
Take a panoramic view of the ancient town of Propan on the iron rope bridge. The ancient town is backed by green mountains and surrounded by water on three sides． Laying stone for the door, stone for the wall, built according to the mountain wooden hanging footstools, after a hundred years of wind and frost, is still as stable as a rock, is a miracle.
Experience two, appreciate the Cian ancient town of Ming and Qing dynasties built two ancient fortress door, very characteristic. Propan field town was built at a height of more than 10 meters from the river bank, there are two well-preserved stone gates firmly guarding the town's east and west field entrance. Here is the Taiping Gate, the upper and lower two cottage doors are 2.1 meters wide and 7 meters high, small and chic. Stone steps look up from below, the cottage door seems to hang in mid-air.
Another ancient fortress door in the ancient town - Taipingmen. Out of the gate to the west downhill is a total length of 63 meters of stone stairs, each 1.7 meters long, 0.3 meters wide, 0.15 meters high, the right side of the 0.7-meter-high stone guardrail, a ladder-type downward extension to the ancient pier.
Experience three, walk the only old street in Propan An Ancient Town - Hulu Street. The street number of this street is Propan Street, in fact, it also has a nice name called Hulu Street. Walking through the Taiping Gate, a narrow alley appeared in front of you, which is simply "a line of sky". After turning the corner, the road opens up. This section of the road is 7 meters wide and about 70 meters long. Gourd Street is 1500 meters long, the whole street is like an upside down gourd, the top is big and the bottom is small, hence the name "Gourd Street".
Experience four, visit two memorial halls, which is the essence of the red tourism in the ancient town of Bian. In the middle turn of the above mentioned gourd street there are two exhibition halls. The ancient town of Bianan is full of red legend. 2005, the relevant departments of the state approved Bianan as the national red tourism classic, included in the national red tourism line of excellence. The Memorial Hall of the First Red Army Corps of Bing'an has become the only memorial hall of the First Red Army Corps in China. I prefer the General Geng Biao Memorial Hall next door to the First Red Army Corps, where I can take my time to admire the legendary life of the old general.
Experience five, walk the ancient fiber road outside the Houzhai Gate. Walking down the stone steps of the Taiping Gate of the ancient town, there is a simple and ancient Shuanglong Bridge. Built in the Qing Dynasty, the bridge runs from east to west, and the two piers in the center are carved with two dragons, one female and one male, looking upstream, and the dragons and the piers are all in one piece, thus giving the bridge its name.
Continuing along the cliff carvings, there is the Bian Slender Road. Slender road was built in the Qing Dynasty, east to west, west from the Double Dragon Bridge, east to the new Bianan Bridge, about 500 meters long, preserved more intact. The entire fiber road are paved with 80 by 40 centimeters or so of slate, due to the age of the farther, the slate has some crippled or broken, rounded corners.
Experience six, stroll through the ancient town of the big market. The ancient town of Propan has a big fair every three, six and nine days of the lunar calendar, which some people say is "catching up". Catching is the best way to experience the lifestyle of the aborigines in the mountainous regions of northern Guizhou. In addition to shopping, you can also do the following things in the ancient town's big market.
Walking around the market, you must eat beans and rice. There is a small store in the old town that does not hang signs and only welcomes customers on market days, featuring the most authentic bean curd rice, so be sure to try it. There are rules for eating the rice with bean curd, first scoop the bean curd into a spoon or rice bowl, then use chopsticks to hold a little bit of dipping water to spread it on the bean curd, then swallow the bean curd mixed with rice, and then take a sip of water from the cellar. You might want to give it a try.
Besides the specialty beanflower rice, her steamed vegetables are also good, with only roasted white and pork ribs, so I suggest you try both. Again, it's only available on market days!
Walking in the big market must drink a bowl of gaiwan tea. The men in the market are in large and small teahouses. The town is very small, and there is no daily operation of the specialized teahouse, are in the market day, the temporary living room of the family simply set a few tables and benches, temporarily as a teahouse. The most touching thing is that the gaiwan tea here is 1 yuan 1 cup, you can unlimited water refills, may wish to experience the comfort of the old town.
Experience seven, come to Bianan ancient town, how can not taste "white water fish"! Chishui white water fish, is a wild Qingbo fish cooked in white water, add a small amount of cucumber slices to complement the fragrance. On the menu, there are also bean curd fish. I think really good fresh fish, white water fish practice can best reflect the fresh flavor of the fish. Ancient town in a **** on three small restaurants. I went to this Wang Ji whitewater fish in the upper and lower three levels, in the old town street is the third floor, there are two floors below, the bottom of the first floor is the living space of the family, the second floor is also a restaurant. Be sure to choose a spot by the view window, which looks out on the rushing Chishui River and across the street from the new district of Propan. The whitewater fish is a little pricey, but definitely worth a try!
Experience eight, follow the footsteps of elementary school students, to see General Geng Biao Red Army Primary School. The first thing you need to do is get off the bridge and walk down the path on the right hand side of the bridge. The new area of the asphalt road and then a hundred meters ahead, is Chishui City, Propan School, the other side of the plaque reads "Guizhou Chishui China Workers and Peasants Red Army General Geng Biao Red Army Primary School".On April 27, 2016, Propan School became the country's 229th Red Army Primary School, but also has a new name: Geng Biao Generals Red Army Primary School. The most interesting thing is that I heard that the recess activities of the students here are playing fast boards and weaving straw shoes, isn't it interesting?
Experience nine, be sure to stay one night in a hammock inn in the old town for a thrilling experience. The picture above is the Muyazi hammock inn where I stayed, and labeled in the picture is my room. Below is the cliff, the whole lanai and the room are suspended, exciting or not?
Outside the Taiping Gate of the ancient town, it is the best place in the ancient town to enjoy the thrilling hammocks up close. Cian ancestors used a characteristic wooden frame hanging foot building type system construction technology, in the inclination angle of about 60 degrees, more than 20 meters above the river bank of the mountain, wonderful borrowing the mountain, clever use of culverts, chiseling rock columns, in situ use of wood, stone building materials, construction of a hanging and up more than 20 meters of the hanging foot building. "A piece of dangerous rock, a thousand pillars to support" is the most graphic description of the ancient town.
After experiencing these nine things, you still don't feel addicted? You can also go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots. I just followed the innkeeper to drive up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. In this season, the bamboo forest is full of bamboo shoots, which are not rare at all. We dug a bunch of bamboo shoots in a while, and came back at noon to have a full meal of fresh bamboo shoots, of course, I prefer the bacon stewed with bamboo shoots. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get it, and I'm going to be able to get it!
If you are active, you can also go to Fuxing Ancient Town to see, in Bianan Ancient Town of the wire bridge at the shuttle bus to Fuxing Ancient Town, 3 yuan fare 20 minutes to arrive. Fuxing Ancient Town, also known as Wind and Rain City, between Bian An Ancient Town and Chishui City, more than ten kilometers away from Bian An Ancient Town. Speaking of Fuxing Ancient Town, in fact, is not large, a Chishui River Tourist Highway will be the ancient town in two, by the Chishui River side is an ancient street, the other side is a new area, the building does not have characteristics. Fuxing town farmers market is the ancient town of "big set", the market for the lunar calendar two five eight, and propan ancient town of three six nine have big set, echoing. If you want to go, it's best to go on the day of the fair to experience the customs of the ancient town of Qianbei.
After strolling through the big market, take a stroll through the old streets of Fuxing Ancient Town. The old street is decorated with lights and colors, and a lot of effort has been made. However, the aboriginal people on the old street did not pay much attention to the tourists who came here, just leisurely living their own life. Here you can also sit down and have a cup of tea, and then a bowl of beans and rice to taste, very comfortable. I like this state of affairs, the development of ancient towns and streets, do not get into the shopping "Commodity City" mode.
In the ancient town of Bian, you can not do anything, just move a bamboo stool, quietly in the sun outside. The most common thing to see in the ancient town is that people get together in twos and threes after tea and dinner, teasing children, chatting, and the time just passes. For me, the restful smoky atmosphere in the ancient town of Qianbei is what attracts me the most.
In the comments after the article the day before yesterday, a netizen said well, ignoring the tourists of the old town is the most real. The aboriginal people are the unchanging protagonists, and the tourists from the north and south are the supporting characters of the flowing water. The appearance of tourism is to see the scenery, the essence is the experience of tourists and integration. If one day the role of the swap, the town is tasteless.
Such an ancient town life, you want to come to experience it?
