Sanyan Well

There is a three-eye well on the east side of the commercial street of Shuhe Ancient Town, and three-eye wells are also seen near Baimalongtan. Three-eye wells are also seen in Dayan Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town, and Shangri-La. Three-eye wells are three-level water pools built according to the height difference of the terrain, and distinguish the functions and uses of these three water pools. Using the flow of water, a total of three wells were made from top to bottom. The water was flowed down from the top first pool, and then flowed down to the third pool. The three-eye well was a small pool on one side, separated into three parts, the first as drinking water, the second as washing vegetables, and the third for washing clothes. Three eye wells are the embodiment of the ancient water saving methods in Lijiang area.

Every time I come to Lijiang, I have to check in here. This Spring Festival, the hotel front desk calls in advance to inform the room. It is very nice. The hotel in winter is a bit bleak, but if there is sunshine, the snow-capped mountains still look beautiful.

Yunnan Shuhe Sanyan Well, in fact, in Yunnan, if you observe it yourself, you will definitely find that the three-eye well is actually in Yunnan, which is not unusual at all. Lijiang Sanyan Well is a water source that uses the spring water spouted from the underground, and is built into a three-level water pool according to the height difference of the terrain.

Although Shuhe Ancient Town is quiet, it is very historical and humanistic. There are still many places left with legends. You can slowly taste it. Every place has the characteristics of every place, and every small shop has the style of every small shop.

Self-driving tour is still a good way, you can feel free and relaxed, where you want to go, where you want to stop, you can feel different atmospheres, and feel the local characteristics in depth. The night in Shuhe Ancient Town is quiet.

Three connected square wells, with different functions from top to bottom, can be awkward to get wrong.

Shuhe Ancient Town is known as the "Pearl on the Tea Horse Ancient Road", and all the streams in the ancient town come from "Jiuding Longtan". Not far from Longtan, there is a "three-eyed well", which is the source of the life of the town's residents. The so-called "three-eye well", that is, when the well is built, the direction of the stream, from top to bottom, the water of the well is used for drinking, washing vegetables and washing. This not only ensures drinking hygiene, but also saves water resources. A wooden sign next to the well is striking, which reads: "Water is good and all things are not disputed." Water is the scarce resource that is most easily polluted. In the nomadic era, Naxi's ancestors "lived by water and grass", and regarded water as the source of life; in the era of farming and settlement, they brought water into the village and divided it into three. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of living in the water; to the age of the town, the "three-eye well" culture was created: a spring water for three pond well water, the first eye for drinking water; the second eye for washing vegetables; the third eye for washing water. One water and three uses, without competing or grabbing, reflects the Naxi people's awe of nature, We cherish the good traditions of the environment.”
