Hechuan Fishing City Ruins Fishing Mountain is named for a flat boulder on the top of the mountain. It is said that immortals used to fish here, hence the name Fishing Mountain. Historically, this ancient fortress surrounded by the Jialing River, Fu River, and Qu River was majestic and impregnable. On the ancient battlefield here, the unyielding people of Chuan and Yu and the fierce Mongolian soldiers staged a grand finale. Before I came, I did my homework. The stubborn Chuan and Yu Song soldiers and the Mongolian army fought a 36-year war of attack and defense, saving 100,000 people from disaster. Fishing City became the only city that the once invincible Mongolian cavalry failed to capture. The historical relics in the city are not limited to this. There are also two temples, one at the foot of the mountain and one at the foot of the mountain, namely 'Flying Temple' and 'National Protection Temple'. Among them, the National Protection Temple is one of the four temples in Hechuan. There is also a Tang Dynasty reclining Buddha suspended between the cliffs, which is very spectacular. The current Fishing City has become a great hiking spot, and the photos are quite good. The ancient city gate of the National Protection Gate built on the cliff is majestic. In addition, Song City and Fishing Platform are also must-visit places. In addition to understanding ancient history and culture, hiking is also great. It takes nearly 40 minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain along the stairs to the National Protection Gate. The air is dense with forests, it can be said to be a natural oxygen bar! 🚄Transportation tips: Depart from Chongqing North Station by high-speed train, and you can reach Hechuan Station in half an hour. 🚗After leaving the station, you can reach by taxi for 10 yuan, which is quite easy to reach. 🎫The entrance ticket to the mountain is 60 yuan.

📅One-day tour in Chongqing, this time we didn't go to the popular check-in spots or eat Chongqing's special delicacies, but followed our history-rich teacher Wang to a city - Fishing City, which is also the prototype of Xiangyang City in Jin Yong's works. It is known as the place where God broke his whip in Western countries, a place where history might have been rewritten. It is such a city, built on the mountain and surrounded by rivers on three sides, but it is the place where Mongke Khan, who dominated the Eurasian continent during the Southern Song Dynasty, fell. Because of the emperor's death, the prince who was fighting abroad withdrew his troops to seize the throne, otherwise the history of Egypt might have to be rewritten, after all, the Mongolian iron cavalry at that time was a daunting presence in the Eurasian continent. Listening to Teacher Wang's introduction, I suddenly felt that visiting historical sites was more meaningful, so I took a taxi directly to the Fishing City in Hechuan. The foggy day with rain has few tourists, the road up the mountain is relatively flat, and there are buses to ride that can save some mountain roads, we chose to walk down the mountain on the way back, and you can also see the scenery along the way. There are nearly ten scenic spots in the Fishing City, including several museum exhibition halls, telling the miracles that happened here during the Southern Song Dynasty. The unique geographical environment, the city is self-sufficient in life, the combination of military and civilian, the city wall built to resist foreign enemies. Now the empty schoolyard can vaguely feel the scene of the soldiers training here, especially when walking to the National Guard Gate, the moment of beating the drum 🥁, the scene of the drum cheering and thousands of horses rushing into the mind. We were thinking about catching the 3 pm cruise, so the tour was rushed, but it was really hasty to take a cursory look at such a city of miracles. If time permits, you can take a break in the tea house imitating the Song Dynasty between each scenic spot, and see the stone quarrying work of the people at that time. But the most ideal is to understand this history before coming, it will be more touching.
