Scenery

The ancient city of Zhaotong once spread all over the guild halls in the Qing Dynasty, and was known as "the capital of guild halls". "Guild hall" is the best textbook to interpret the commercial development history of Zhaotong in Qing Dynasty. During the reign of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, merchants from all over the country came to Zhaotong to engage in mineral exploitation and trade one after another. For this reason, people living in Zhaotong have made use of the local friendship to set up local guilds to protect their own interests. As a result, the ancient city of Zhaotong has successively built 15 large-scale Guildhall, including Chuandi Temple (Chengdu Guildhall), Shaanxi Temple (Xi'an Guildhall), Leishen Temple (Jiangxi Guildhall), Mazu Temple (Fujian Guildhall), as well as Liangguang Guildhall, Lianghu Guildhall, Yunnan Guildhall and Guizhou Guildhall, forming a rich ancient architectural community of Qing Dynasty in Zhaotong.

Historic district. Including the Fu Lu Street (today Chaoyang Street), Huaiyuan street, wing Gu Street (today consolidating Street), Wen Yuan Street (today's Wen Yuan Street middle section), Qi Wen street, Chong Yi Street, cultural street, Dazhi street, Jixian street, Bo Ji street, moral education street, Heping Street and other areas are the essence of Zhaotong's historical culture and traditional folk customs. The naming of these streets and alleys has a strong flavor of local life, profound cultural heritage, and focuses on inspiring people's wisdom.

Wutong sunset spread all across in confusion. Looking down on the street, the West Street, which has fallen on the street, looks very bright. French architecture on both sides more than 100 years ago, after removing all kinds of signboards, now faces up to the sky, showing the true and beautiful appearance. The classic and dignified standing for more than 100 years, now with a touch of sunset light, it looks more and more vicissitudes and nostalgia.

From the street to the end of the street, the Wutong standing on both sides is a part that can not be cut off in West Street, and it is a beautiful dress that is not left off by West Street.

After years of wind and rain, the burly trunk is still standing high, neither humble nor arrogant. Old new bark, or rough or green tender, mottled color, like the face of Guan Gong. In order not to affect the complicated interwoven cables on both sides of the street, the tree crown will have to be sawed once in a few years, and the towering branches and leaves will stretch hard to the four dimensions, stretching out the shade in the hot sun.

The Wutong leaves come down, the leaves of the phoenix trees gently shake, the orange road lights are broken, and the tiny spots fall to the ground. Occasionally the night wind passed by, and the thick green all over the street began to surge.
