Huanglongxi, an ancient town
About 40 kilometers away from the East Gate of Chengdu, along the Chengren Highway (Chengdu-Renshou) to the southeast, it is a newly-built tourist attraction favored by film and television people and tourists in recent years-Huanglongxi. Huanglongxi is adjacent to Fuhe River (Jinjiang) in the east and Muma Mountain in the north. It is the waterway hub from Chengdu to Leshan and the southernmost river defense fortress in Chengdu's history. According to records, when Zhuge Liang conquered the south, there was a heavy army here. Zhang, the leader of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, also struggled with the loyalists here. At that time, there were seven temples and yamen in the town: Ren (Shou), Peng (Shan) and Hua (Yang). On the dock, ships are like forests, business trips are gathered, and there is a scene of prosperity.
The reason why the ancient town of Huanglongxi has attracted the attention of the film and television industry is that the streets and alleys in the Qing Dynasty are still well preserved. Streets paved with bluestone slabs, pavilions with wooden columns and blue tiles, and beautifully carved balustrade windows all give people a feeling of ancient simplicity and tranquility. There are also six Liriodendron trees in the town, which are over 300 years old. They are flourishing and cover the sky, adding a lot of aura to the ancient town. There are still three ancient temples in the town: Zhenjiang Temple, Chaoyin Temple and Gulong Temple. Temple fairs on the ninth day of June and the ninth day of September in the lunar calendar can also reproduce the noisy scene of the old city.
Huanglongxi, an ancient town, is favored by tourists because it is not only beautiful, but also free from the noise of big cities. Moreover, the winding stone path, the wooden diaojiao building with cornices by the river, the teahouse shops on the street and the lingering smoke from the ancient temple show a picture of the folk customs of Sichuan villages and towns, giving people a feeling of simplicity and novelty.
Many teachers in Children's Palace like to take their students who study painting to sketch in Huanglongxi. Because Huanglongxi not only has beautiful scenery, but also has many ancient trees and buildings, which is very suitable for sketching. It will be more interesting if you look at the scenery across the river.
