Fubao ancient town

Fubao ancient town

42km away from Hejiang County, Sichuan Province, it is the gateway of the national Fubao forest park. The ancient town was built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. By the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, it had become a political, economic and cultural exchange center in the DACAO River Basin. When the town was built, it was difficult to make a living because of the inconvenient transportation. Therefore, the temple was used to build the town, and it was named fobaochang. Later, due to the reconstruction after a big fire, a cobble with a diameter of seven feet was dug in the main street, and it was renamed fobaoxinchang. After liberation, it was renamed fubaochang. The ancient town of Fubao is built on the mountain and well preserved. Among them, Huilong street is the most intact ancient street in the town.

Characteristics of ancient town

The ancient town has a lot of buildings and wooden buildings, which rise and fall with the mountains. The street is seven or eight meters wide and only about one and a half meters narrow. All of them are paved with bluestone slabs. The stone steps rise and fall, winding to the front. From time to time, I see people carrying umbrellas up and down the stone terraces, showing a poetic picture of a small town in the rain.

Because of its remote location, the ancient town seems a little lonely, but the overall preservation is relatively good, the style is still the same. The most fascinating thing is that such a big ancient town seems so simple and quiet, with no noise at all. In the small town, no matter who you step into or which door you step into, you can visit at will. The simple mountain people will also take photos with ease, and are willing to satisfy the desire of distant visitors to seek novelty and explore.
