Experience the Tujia culture, come to Longshan Miao'er Beach's Rebalala
Located in the hinterland of the Tujia ethnic group at the junction of Hunan, Hubei and Chongqing, the name 'Rebalala' in the Tujia language implies 'a fairyland on earth', truly reflecting the characteristics of this place with its beautiful mountains and rivers and rich culture.
The layout inside the scenic area is diverse, among which the Rebalala Tusi City is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on this green land. The Tusi City, with its simple and solemn architectural complex, displays the deep historical background and unique architectural art of the Tujia ethnic group. The well-arranged courtyards and exquisite carving patterns vividly reproduce the ruling pattern and people's lifestyle of the Tusi era.
The Sancha Wind and Rain Bridge, spanning the confluence of three tributaries of the Laoche River, is all wooden in construction, with unique craftsmanship. The bridge is covered with Tujia language explanations, as if traveling through time and space to dialogue with ancient wisdom. This Wind and Rain Bridge is not only the crystallization of the wisdom of the Tujia ancestors, but also an important carrier of their daily life, religious beliefs, and social interactions, symbolizing the Tujia people's tenacious survival and harmonious coexistence.
The Laoche River flows gently, and the riverbed is full of pebbles of various shapes, shining under the sunlight. We play by the river, stepping on the warm pebbles, feeling the strong local flavor intertwined with nature and culture. Rebalala tourist area Rebalala resort B&B

A Hidden Gem in Hunan | Liye Ancient Town
"North has the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, south has the bamboo slips in Liye"🍃, hence Liye Ancient City is also acclaimed as "The Qin City of the World, China's Liye"🤔.
☑️In the Tujia language, "Liye" means to pioneer this land🌄. An era is encapsulated in a city🌇, a city encapsulated in tiny bamboo slips. The emergence of the Qin bamboo slips made Liye known to the world🙊🙉.
☑️Strolling through the ancient street, with its tall blue brick firewalls🌝, smooth and shiny stone-paved lanes, wooden houses exuding the fragrance of tung oil, and ancient shops, as well as the bluestone docks by the You River🌊 telling tales of the past... The charm of Qin and the elegance of Chu are everywhere, permeating the prosperity of those years✨.
☑️Liye was a military fortress built by the Chu state during the Warring States period🙉, used to expand territory and defend against the invasion of the Qin state👿. In the late Warring States period, the Qin army invaded the You River basin from the Wujiang River basin🌊, forcing the Chu army to move eastward, and this ancient city🌇 was abandoned. In addition to this historically unrecorded ancient city🖊️, two other ancient cities from the Western Han and Eastern Han periods were discovered in Liye Town. In the entire You River basin🌊, a total of four ancient cities🌇 have been found, involving 79 ancient city sites and tombs😳.
📍Detailed address: Liye Ancient Town, Liye Town, Longshan County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province
💰Ticket price: 50 RMB per person for the Liye Ancient City ruins, free admission to the museum
🕙Opening hours: Open all day
📝Impressions from visiting the town: I have visited many ancient towns, and Liye is one that left a deep impression✨. Some say Liye is like a well-bred lady🌸. When night falls, the grey-tiled houses, horse-head walls, blue brick courtyards with carved windows, a glimmer of light💡 illuminates the Miao villages🍃. The simple and quiet town becomes even more charming under the envelopment of night.

Liyue, one of the four ancient towns in western Hunan
For the locals in western Hunan, strolling through ancient cities and towns is nothing out of the ordinary. To find something new in what is all too familiar can indeed be a challenge. Fortunately, the recent designation of Liyue Old Street as a 'Provincial-level Cultural Tourism Leisure District' offers an opportunity to 'dress up the old wine in new bottles' while exploring the old street, possibly refreshing the senses and yielding new insights.
Liyue Old Street, nestled at the foot of Baming Mountain and by the You River, was built during the Ming and Qing dynasties and flourished in the Republic of China era, standing as one of the four great ancient towns of western Hunan. The simple and exquisite lines of the old street flow in the autumn wind, where the poetic landscape seems to sing the song of the years alongside the times and fashion. As you step in, no matter where you come from or where you are heading, the history's dust has already touched your feet as you pass by. The rhythm of walking, the ancient charm, the ambiguous beauty of the moonlight, all make one linger and hesitate to leave, daring not to speak lightly of departing without a trace.
