    Luzhou in Sichuan was once an ancient town on the route of the Red Army's Long March

    🏨 Gulin Taiping Ancient Town 📍Detailed address: Taiping Town, Gulin County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province Admission: Free 🌟Highlights: The ancient town is a memorial site of the Red Army's Long March and the crossing of the Chishui River, specifically the second and fourth crossings. There are no kebabs, no milk tea, no hustle and bustle, just the old and mottled streets that have witnessed that unforgettable history. The existing buildings are mostly houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties, featuring ancient architectural frameworks such as dry railings and stilted buildings, presenting characteristics of 'platforms, hangings, misalignments, projections, shuttles, and leans.' As time goes by, there are not many people living in the ancient town anymore! ❤Recommended reason: The whole town is scattered with red relics and revolutionary cultural relics. The quiet streets are not overly commercialized. Most of the buildings inside are houses from the Ming and Qing periods. The memorial hall tells the story of February 1916, when the soldiers of the National Protection War, under the command of the residing general, fought fiercely against the powerful Beiyang Army for more than 20 days, firmly defending the line at Cotton Slope. With a ten-to-one ratio, it is one of the few examples in the National Protection War where a smaller force won over a larger one.

    Sichuan Travel｜Gulin Taiping Ancient Town, a characteristic ancient town with a strong sense of life

    China has a long history and countless ancient towns. Compared with the uniform renovated buildings, I prefer some ancient towns that have integrated local characteristics. Taiping Ancient Town in Gulin, Luzhou is one of them. 📍Location: Taiping Town, Gulin County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province 🌟Mountain ancient town: The entire ancient town is built on the mountain, which can be said to be a unique mountain ancient town in southern Sichuan. Its history can be traced back to the Yelang Kingdom of the pre-Qin period. The existing buildings are mostly dry-column buildings or stilt buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are scattered on the hillside with a strong sense of hierarchy. 🌟Red culture: The current Taiping Ancient Town has also incorporated a layer of red culture. The 'Four Crossings of Chishui' happened between Gulin and Xishui County, Guizhou, which borders it, making Gulin the main battlefield of the Four Crossings of Chishui. The second and fourth crossings all started from Taiping Crossing in Taiping Ancient Town, which is of great significance. 🌟Human life: The ancient town is completely non-commercial, without colorful bars or various foreign merchants, all are local residents. If the timing is right, you can also see lively scenes such as 'going to the market', which is full of life.
