Jianchuan Ancient City

The ancient city of Jianchuan began in the late Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of many years. The original ancient city wall was majestic and spectacular. The ancient city wall and the Qiaolou were demolished in 1952. In the early morning, squat at the Ximen morning market to watch the Bai craftsmen carve the replica of “Zhang Shengwen’s Scroll”. There are gaps between the stone slabs in the alley, so it is recommended to wear thick-soled sneakers. The carved plum juice at the Ximen jelly stall is a must-visit food in the ancient city. It is especially recommended to use a mobile phone flashlight at a 45-degree angle to illuminate the Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall. The painted warrior statues of the Ming Dynasty can be seen. It is recommended to avoid the strong light period at noon, and the reflective index of the white wall exceeds the standard by 2.8 times. The toilets are concentrated in the alleys on both sides of the Confucian Temple, and coins are required to unlock them. After the rainy season, the dripping water from the eaves forms a natural water curtain, which is suitable for slow shutter shooting under the eaves of the Tea Horse Ancient Road Exhibition Hall. Be alert to the mobile stalls of black pottery roasting tea furnaces that suddenly appear in the alleys, and the surface temperature of the high-temperature pottery pots reaches 90℃.
