Judian ancient town

"Jujinzhou, the ancient huama kingdom" is a poem by the chieftain of mugao, which indicates the close relationship between Judian and the ancient huama Kingdom (Lijiang is also known as the ancient huama Kingdom, because the Lijiang horses produced here are very famous) in the Ming Dynasty. It used to be the center of Naxi civilization before the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Jujin, which means Dadukou. At that time, it was not only a necessary route for Weixi to pass through the mainland, but also a necessary crossing for Dali to communicate with Tubo. Today, there are still ferries on the river in Zhendong. You can take a boat to see the river view. You can also see the market in Judian. Every fifth day of every month is Judian market day. On this day, except Naxi, Tibetan, Lisu, Bai, Yi and Pumi all gather on Judian street to sell their mountain products and purchase daily necessities and production tools. If you go to the festival, you will see that they have been deeply influenced by singing and dancing in their long-term contacts with the surrounding nationalities. The diversified art is the characteristic here. From Judian to the north of the river, about 25 kilometers to Tacheng township. From the government of Tacheng township to the riverside, you can see the ruins of Tacheng iron bridge (no ticket). This bridge across the Jinsha River should be the earliest iron bridge in the world, more than 1000 years earlier than the similar bridges built in Britain (the iron cable bridge was built in 1741) and Russia (the iron cable bridge was built in 1824). Now here is an ancient ferry. When you take the ferry to the east bank, you can see the traces of stone holes around the iron bridge and chain on the rocks.
