[Gongtan Ancient Town]
Whenever I think of ancient towns, they always give me infinite reverie
Whether it's the romantic encounters of Lijiang, the border town scenery of Fenghuang,
or the small bridges and flowing water of Zhouzhuang,
What kind of appearance will Gongtan show me when we meet?
Passing through the antique archway of Gongtan Ancient Town
It feels like crossing through a time portal
On this side is the modern bustling world
On the other side is the long-awaited ancient world
Gongtan in early summer, flowers everywhere;
Folk songs float in the air, with a fresh temperament,
It is a good place to give your soul a break.
Folk songs are the breeze of art, a simple,
pure expression, reflecting people's original state of mind after removing vanity and dirt. Listening is a spiritual experience.
Wooden stilted houses, blue stone slab paths
Ancient houses and courtyards, ancestral halls and old temples
Shops and workshops, elderly people walking
Big red lanterns, blooming bougainvillea, etc.
Exuding an antique atmosphere
A stretch of emerald green river water
Reflects everything ancient and simple
Shuttling between history and reality
Carrying a camera, listening to folk songs, walking on the shiny stone slabs
Back and forth
Find a quiet and cozy little house
Step on the damp and mottled blue stone slab paths
Walk through long, deep alleys
Red lanterns sway under the eaves
Cheerful laughter comes from the alleys
You can see sketching scenes everywhere
They collect a beautiful view
Use colors to mix a colorful life
The shades of ink represent a state of mind, outlining an artistic conception
We can also take a cruise
Quietly admire this hundred-mile Wujiang Gallery
Late night, dim lights
I love Gongtan Ancient Town under the night sky
Its quiet and profound atmosphere easily reminds one of old times
At night, the ancient town is quiet and lonely
Fortunately, these dim lights
Accompany me into the dreamland of Gongtan
In the morning, Gongtan Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and waters
Mountain mist lingers, vaguely
I feel a poetic charm like the rainy Jiangnan
It's like walking into a dream
Standing quietly by the Wujiang River
Watching Gongtan Ancient Town hidden deep in the mountains gradually wake up
Like a serene ink painting leaping into view
The renowned Chinese painting master Wu Guanzhong once described this place
As Tang Street, Song City, the home of grandparents

[Youyang. Dieshihuagu]
This season, the galsang flowers are in full bloom,
Why don't we go to Dieshihuagu
It's about an hour's drive from Gongtan Ancient Town to Dieshihuagu
Along the way, surrounded by mountains
The colors of early summer are bright
The sky is very blue, and clouds are also running
If we're lucky, we might encounter
A group of young people performing a flash mob dance to start
The December God Pillars Stone Array
You can also find your own moon god
Each month points to a moon god
They have their own unique symbols
Lucky prayer stacked stone magic pit
Turn clockwise three times for good luck
You can cross the small canyon in a "flying" way
Through the summer wind
What's amazing is that besides the blooming flowers,
There are also stone flowers that bloomed 500 million years ago
Stromatolites originated from the Cambrian period 500 million years ago
"Nuo culture" originated from the early formation of primitive human religion
With a history of about 10,000 years
At the battery car station heading to "China Rural Art Park"
There is a purple sea of verbena flowers
Verbena is usually tall
You can take photos from above on the walkway
Need to pay attention to safety, touching stones will break skin
Dieshihuagu and Rural Art Tribe are a combined ticket,
Connected, with battery cars for transfer
[Rural Art Tribe]
Children's performances are held in the morning and afternoon each once
Hope you don't miss them
