Stone Drum (Shigu) Town

Shigu is suitable for tourism all year round. In March, the riverside rape blossoms and Shigu Village Villages of pear blossoms are competing to open, quiet and leisurely, in it, if you enter the dream of Shangri-La. The first bay of the Yangtze River (drifting), you can see the Red Army Long March Memorial Hall, Shigu Pavilion, and Tiehong Bridge (Tea Horse Ancient Road and Ancient Iron Cable Bridge). Because Shigu is located in the Jiangwan area, the climate is good and the property is rich, so Shigu has a lot of special products, medicinal materials, fruits, mountain goods, the solar calendar is the end of 3, 6, 9 days is Shigu market day, villagers from all directions will bring their own property to this sale, lively.

From Lishiji Beike Peach Blossom Valley Mountain Residence, circled along the mountain road, and arrived at Shigu Town. I came to Lijiang several times. I only knew the ancient city of Lijiang. I didn’t expect that there was such a unique town in the surrounding area. In the car dealership town, the locals were like a market. The flow of people is like a weaving, very prosperous. Shigu Town is on the banks of the Jinsha River. There is the first bay of the Yangtze River. The Jinsha River has since turned from the northwest to the northeast. There is also a iron cable bridge for the Red Army crossing the river. At noon, I found a farmhouse dish at Qiaotou to eat. It was called Guoxing Hotel. It was fungus, local chicken and the like. It was really fragrant. I ate a few more bowls of rice. Nice place, if you have time in Lijiang, I recommend everyone to visit.

A small town, after the first bay of the Yangtze River, the parking space is not easy to find, but there is a small roadside restaurant in the town "often come and go" fried dishes are delicious, the price is not expensive, you can try it when you pass by.

Shigu Town, which is famous for its stone drum-like inscription in the center of the town, is not a popular scenic spot. It can even be said that it is just a little bit of light from the head of the "First Bay of the Yangtze River". The Jinsha River fell at its feet and flowed all the way into China. This insignificant town in Northwest Yunnan has a long history, but it is the hub of trade between Yunnan and Tibet. Early in the morning, I arrived at Shigu, and was lucky to board a boat in Shigu Port on the small sandbar of the First Bay. The green hills on both sides of the continent are surrounded by clear water. The Jinsha River flows slowly at my feet and is within reach. The town is situated on high ground. To reach the town, we must climb hundreds of meters of steps. It seems that time has solidified in the town. This place is like the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and that place is like the Mao Hong Cultural Revolution. There are hardly any tourists in town except us. Everyone in the town knows each other. After greeting each other, they walk quietly and slowly on Ma Shi Street. An old town in Yunnan can stand on the Bank of Jinsha River flowing day and night. Chicken bean cold powder is the local famous food here. It has both cold and hot food. It's a black powder made from a kind of bean here. Cold food is mixed with soy sauce, sour and vinegar, hot food is fried with Pan fragrant oil on both sides of the Yellow crisp, mixed with sauce to eat. Personally, I prefer cold food. The taste is tender, smooth and sour. The boss later gave me some cucumber shredded, fried peanuts with fresh and crisp, which is very good.

Wangjiang Margin Hotel is located on the road from Lijiang to Shigu Town. In the hotel, you can sit and watch the beautiful scenery of the First Bay of the Yangtze River. You can also blow the river breeze, smell the flowers and even step on the sand near the river. You can also let your boss take you up to the best scenic spots to enjoy the panorama of the First Bay of the Yangtze River. The most important thing is that the boss is warm and hospitable. The delicious dishes are mainly Naxi and Jiangbian. We came from Sichuan, ordered local chicken hotpot with smokeless barbecue, chicken soup is very fresh, enough, saucer is very good, even the pickles are particularly sour, sweet and crisp. The Anti-Japanese War drama group also eats pictures here, which is worth recommending. (Hey)
