According to records: Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty was already the eastern starting point of the Silk Road and the central hub of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the first year of Zhou Dazu (701 AD), Wu Zetian ordered to dig a canal in the southeast of the imperial city to connect to the Ji Canal in the southeast of the imperial city and connect with the E River in the east to become an important commercial distribution center for water transportation on the Grand Canal. , Known as the “Central Plains Ferry”. With the rapid development of water transportation on the Grand Canal, Luoyi area gradually formed the cultural characteristics of the interlacing of northern and southern cultures, and the coexistence of rural culture and court culture, which was hailed as the “cultural holy city”. In recent years, the local government has spent 12.7 billion yuan on the restoration and development of this old city in Luoyang. Now the old city has been renewed and has become a comprehensive cultural tourism and sightseeing that integrates travel, play, food, accommodation, and shopping. Area. Walking into the ancient city of Luoyi, you can see pavilions, towers, towers and ancient trees everywhere. The Tongji Canal filled with the water from the Luo River is winding, and the canal water is clear to the bottom. The buildings along the banks of the river are a fusion of Tang and Song styles. It’s like a beautiful picture of history. From time to time, you can see women in Hanfu in the streets and lanes passing by, making people seem to travel through time and space and return to the ancient city of Luoyang. Different from many imitation ancient city attractions in China, the ancient city of Luoyi has gone through thirteen dynasties and has a profound historical and cultural heritage. The existing Wenfeng Pagoda, Henan Mansion Confucian Temple, Tuoling Palace, Four-eye Well, Jinyuan Ancient City Wall Ruins and many other protected buildings in the ancient city, one step at a time, have a long history and many allusions everywhere, and the cultural atmosphere is very strong. In Luoyang, there has been a folk proverb since ancient times: “There is a Wenfeng Pagoda in Luoyang, which is only ten feet away from the sky.” This masonry tower was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and is about 30 meters high. It is named after Emperor Wenchang and Kuixing in the tower. The existing building was rebuilt in the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1651). It is a landmark of Luoyang City. And one of the few ancient pagodas in existence. There are many shops on both sides of the street, with raised cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, and they are full of the flavor of the ancient capital. Visitors can experience the prosperous scene of old Luoyang here, and they can also eat various delicacies, the most of which is the Luoyang water table. According to reports, Luoyang water table began in the Tang Dynasty and is a traditional famous food in Luoyang. It has a history of more than a thousand years and is known as an outstanding representative of Henan cuisine banquets. The night view of the ancient city of Luoyi is also very charming. I saw lanterns hanging high, colored lights flickering, and the lights set off on the river surface and the mist created a dreamlike scenery, which is magnificent. According to reports, from April 10th to May 5th, the Wenfeng Tower light show will be staged every night at 9 o’clock in the ancient city of Luoyi. Various lights are projected on the tower to deduce a period of historical stories, which is fascinating. The ancient city of Luoyi does not require tickets. You can enter with an ID card.

On the second day of driving around the mountain in Jinfo Mountain 178, we set off in the morning from a thousand-year-old tea tree (it is said that this is the birthplace of artificially planted tea in the world, there is an ancient tea tree that is more than a thousand years old), and we are going to Nanchuan Toudu Town Visited the Qianxing Grand Canyon, but when we came to Toudu Town, it was rainy, misty, foggy, and visibility was extremely low. When we entered the canyon, we couldn’t see anything. Finally, we had to give up the visit to the Qianxing Grand Canyon. Later, we came to Pangguandu in Qingyuan Town. According to local friends, this was the ferry crossing from Chongqing and Sichuan to Bozhou (now Zunyi). Later the ferry was abandoned, but the scenery is still charming. It is a good place for fishing and playing in the water. , Especially the layers of rocks on the side of the stream, like books overlapping each other, it is very magical. There is a winding river at the location of Pangguandu, and there is a cliff on the opposite bank. The wall stones are very special, layer by layer, and the lines are straight, like ten thousand scriptures. Yufan asked local friends what geology it belongs to. feature? They only said that Jinfo Mountain belongs to the southern karst landform. As for the geology of this layered rock structure, they don’t know what geology is. Everyone thinks it is magical, like a city wall built by God on the river. The water of the Guandu River is clear and green like a rock. The water on the opposite bank is deep, while on the nearshore side, the river becomes shallower, forming a sandy beach. The gravel on the sandy beach is like a blanket, the water is crystal clear, and there are small fish and crabs swimming. Free to play. The current of this river named “Guandu” is not large, and the river surface is not wide, but it is an ancient ferry, which is really incredible. Did the ancients travel north and south and rush east and west through this river? Is there no other way to go? After checking the map on Pangguan Watanabe, the mystery was discovered. It turns out that Jinfo Mountain is a natural watershed that runs from east to west. Dayou, Qingyuan, Guhua, Hexi, and Zheng’an, Guizhou are all located in the south of the Jinfo Mountain barrier. The water on the southern slope of Jinfo Mountain is drawn from the gully in the south of Jinfo Mountain from the north. The streams in the south converge into a mainstream at Pangguandu. People go from east to west or west to east. If they take other roads, they will inevitably pass through the barriers of multiple rivers and need to build multiple ferry crossings. The reason why this place was built as an ancient ferry may be because it is a place where many rivers converge. It only needs to cross the river once to complete the traffic in the east-west direction. It is the most economical, most convenient, and lowest-cost option. There is a stone stele on the side of Pangguandu with a “Pangguandu Inscription” inscribed on it, which records some history of the ferry. Guandu River originated from the southeastern foot of the Jinfo Mountain, and passed through the Qianjin border into the Wujiang River through Qingyuan. In ancient times, the water was deep. The current is so fast that you can’t wade across the river in mere, you must ferry by boat. Since the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, both Nanchuan in Chongqing and Zhengan in Guizhou belonged to Bozhou (today’s Zunyi). The official road from Nanchuan to Zhengan must pass through this ferry, hence the name Guandu. Because of the frequent flow of people and logistics, merchants from both sides of the ferry have gathered. It is huge, so it is called “Pangguandu” by people. It is said that it is Pangguandu, but the pier and ferry are not seen. What is going on? According to the “Pangguandu Inscription”: Guandu “suffered an earthquake, the water volume was reduced, the official road was separate, and the ferry was no longer there. However, although there is no ferry today, the name Pangguandu is still in use today.” According to relevant information, there were indeed earthquake records in Nanchuan in the past two hundred years, but all occurred during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. The most serious was the Qianjiang Xiaonanhai earthquake in the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856) (the current Xiaonanhai is The Yansai Lake left by the local direct earthquake), the earthquake may have a greater impact on the Pangguandu area, or it may be that the earthquake caused the water volume of Pangguandu to shrink and lose the function of the ferry. There is another record in the “Pangguandu Inscription” that there are caves on the shore of Guandu, and there are underground rivers in the caves (which may also be one of the important reasons for the reduction of Guandu River’s water volume). The depth is unfathomable. There used to be large fish more than 2 meters in length. Swim out of the cave and was passed down as a good story by the people. Nowadays, there are definitely no big fish two meters long, but there are quite a few small fish in the stream. When we arrived, several tourists from Chongqing were fishing here. It didn’t take long to catch more than ten small fish. It seems that the harvest is not small. These are the few tourists who came to go fishing. They brought their own cooking stove and ingredients, and found some dried branches of trees around, and they started cooking. Everyone gathered around the pot, chatting and tasting. It looked very good, Yu Fan stepped forward to find hello, and after obtaining consent, he conducted a brief interview with them. They said that they were from the main city of Chongqing and couldn’t get away from work on weekends. Today, Monday was rather idle. So a few friends came to Nanchuan for camping, wild drinking, and fishing. They didn’t want to catch as many fish as they wanted to eat. What a big meal, the important thing is to enjoy the fun of fishing, wild drinking, and camping. They said that the environment here is really great. The birds and flowers are fragrant during the day, and the scenery is pleasant. At night, you can sleep with the gurgling stream. If the weather is good, you can see the stars in the sky. The experience is really good, and the transportation is very convenient. It only takes more than an hour to get to the main city. The road is not only a high-speed oil road, but also does not pick cars, so when they have free time, they often invite friends to camp, play in the water, move crabs, catch fish, barbecue, etc. Very happy every time.
