The forgotten mountain ancient town--Gao Miao ancient town
With the desire to get away from the concrete jungle and calm down, we drove to the forgotten Gao Miao. Originally, we just wanted to take a photo with the Spirited Away building, but we were intoxicated by its slowness and quietness. It's like a gentle Jiangnan woman, telling stories. If you come to Gao Miao, why not stay for a couple of days and be a resident of the ancient town in the mountains.
Gao Miao ancient town is located in Hongya County, Meishan, built in the late Ming Dynasty, with a history of about 700 years. It is one of the best preserved mountain ancient towns. The wooden green tile houses and stilted buildings on both sides of the ancient street can be seen everywhere. The old streets and lanes, the green bricks and grey tiles, all write the vicissitudes of the ancient town.
Perhaps the mountainous terrain has created her rainy climate, making the whole ancient town even more quiet. The 'ancient' here is not only in the architecture, but also in the people. For some reason, almost all the people left in the town are middle-aged and elderly. In the evening, when the street lights are on, they sit in pairs, chatting about their daily lives, which reminds people of the time when they were children, listening to the adults' chattering on the grass, a kind of rare, primitive happiness! The last time I had this feeling was in Zhaoxing Dong Village.
There are very few tourists here, so there is really no worldly commercial atmosphere. The town is famous for its Gao Miao liquor and bamboo weaving. There are many bamboo goods shops and the smell of liquor is everywhere. I accidentally found the handmade Xu Liu Niang chili soy sauce, which is also a specialty. Two-day tour itinerary:
Day 1: Wawu Mountain--Accommodation: (1) If you like the quietness of the mountains, stay in Gao Miao ancient town. I highly recommend Qiaoxi Mountain House, which has an excellent location. You can see the Spirited Away building when you open the window, and feel the greenery of the mountains.
(2) If you like a slightly lively ancient town, stay in Liujiang ancient town, but it is another kind of beauty of Jiangnan water town.
Day 2: Liujiang ancient town→←Gao Miao ancient town (depending on the place of accommodation the night before)
Dress: Republic of China, ancient costume, white dress, artistic clothes are more photogenic.
★Use: Mosquito repellent, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains.
Fishing rod, there is a small stream to satisfy fishing enthusiasts. Water play equipment, you can play in the water. I went in May, the water is shallow and green, but if it is the flood season in summer, it is not recommended!
Gaomiao Ancient Town is located at the intersection of Luohong Road, Gaomiao Town, Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, with a point of about 30,000 square meters, built at the end of Ming Dynasty, in the middle of Mount Emei and Liujiang Ancient Town. The ancient town is composed of three streets that are more than 100 meters long and 3 to 6 meters wide. The building is in the style of wooden structure of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are stone steps connecting between the streets and all lanes. Under the eaves of Anhu are hollow carved condolences, each displaying its posture and each doing its best. The dripping is close, only the first line of skylight is leaking in, simple and deep. In the ancient town, there are Jiangxi Assembly Hall, Wushenggong Opera House, Huaxiyuan Stone Carvings, Martyrs Bridge Pavilion, Jile Temple Stone Carvings, and the second mountain statue.

Parking is 5 yuan and you can also find free. Old wooden houses, faded tiles, dilapidated walls, lacquered windows, and the old wooden door on the old paintings posted year after year... A place forgotten by time, the old glory of the ancient town has long faded, alleys and alleys, houses, A house now looks a bit dilapidated, the age everywhere feels like a thick documentary novel, like a long and long story, more like the endless stream of flowers and rivers next to the ancient town. There is no other ancient town hustle and bustle, there is a time stillness, sinking in the depths of the years. The people in the town have mountains and rivers, pastoral farms, here are clouds and clouds in the four seasons, watching the flowers bloom, and the world in the city except for steel and cement, there are wheels and iron sheets left, with the scattered small trees on the street to experience the rotation of the four seasons, a few peach blossoms bloom, The bloom of several cherry blossoms proves that spring has come.
