The ancient wharf worth visiting

On the afternoon of March 13th, a few days before the opening of the village supermarket, the misty rain was enshrouding. Walking from the hotel to the mouth of the ancient state river wharf, several ancient buildings loomed majestically, beyond imagination. From south to north, the first one that comes into view still has a stone stele inscribed with 'Wuhou Tower', recounting the historical events of Zhuge Liang and the Rong River. The largest entrance by the river has a plaque reading 'Salt Transport General Wharf', from which the scale of this wharf and buildings, one can vaguely see the grandeur of salt transportation back in the day. On the stone foundation beside the wharf, there is a sculpture of one of the Dragon's nine sons, 'Gongfu', a water-taming mythical creature, rarely seen elsewhere, indicating the risks and hardships of salt transportation at that time. Watching the water flow gently at the wharf, with the misty rain and the mountains faintly visible in the distance, I suddenly felt a surge of emotions. Beyond the rivers and the earth, the spirit of Wuhou still lingers; with the supermarket replacing the salt transport, the glory can come again! The mouth of the great river wharf, with the natural beauty of the Du Liu River and the grand and spectacular ancient buildings with historical significance, is worth a visit. Taking a taxi from the county town costs only a few yuan, and even the farthest is just over ten yuan, with no admission fee.
