Brief introduction of ancient town
Jiangkou ancient town has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. This is the place where Qin destroyed his family, and it is also the place where Zhang was defeated in the late Ming Dynasty. The area around Qiaolouzi in Zhenkou is the place where "five sheep buy tea" recorded in Wang Bao's Yue Yue in the Western Han Dynasty. According to research, it is the earliest tea market in the world, and Lu Yu and Cha Sheng are also stationed here, collecting data from 0755 to 79000. It is named Jiangkou because it is located at the intersection of Fuhe River and Nanhe River. This is an ancient market town with a long history of more than two thousand years.
Because of the dangerous terrain, Jiangkou was the place where the king of Shu was defeated when Qin destroyed Shu. This is also the ancient battlefield of Zhang's fierce battle in the late Ming Dynasty. Before liberation, Jiangkou was one of the main docks of Minjiang River. At night, the oil lamps and torches used by pedestrians in residential areas make the estuary look spectacular. There is a platform on the steps of Honghu Wharf, which is magnificent and still has charm. Starting from the bridgehead on the east bank of Pengshan Minjiang River Bridge, it is a "pole field", and heading north to Shangjiangkou, showing the landscape of "winding banks of Wuli Long Street".
Features of scenic spots
The river in front of Jie Zhen is no ordinary river. It is the second birthplace of "Xiamin River" for thousands of miles. Originally, the Minjiang River, which originated at the southern foot of Minshan Mountain in Songpan, entered Chengdu Plain from north to south, and was naturally divided into Fuhe River and Nanhe River. These two rivers just meet in Jiangkou Town, forming the lower reaches of Minjiang River, and heading straight to Leshan and Yibin to join the Yangtze River. Two rivers meet, and one town has three rivers, hence the name "Jiangkou", becoming the first town of Minjiang River.
The "one mountain and two lakes" behind the street is no ordinary landscape. Shangjiangkou is located at the foot of the world-famous Pengzu Mountain. Peng Zu, the 800-year-old ancestor of longevity, created a miracle of health care that amazed the world, and the fairy and General Lake lying behind the waves also unveiled their mystery to the world.
