The Watch by the Platform | Shiping|||Shiping Railway Station, the jewel on China's first private railway—the GeBiShi Railway, is a romantic French-style cottage, elegant and unique; with its bright yellow station exterior walls, green doors and windows, exotic palm trees 🌴, and rail tracks full of the marks of time.
Zhengying Ancient Village, ten kilometers from Shiping, is known as 'Yunnan's Number One Village'. The Chen Family Ancestral Hall, the Zheng Family Ancestral Hall, and the Chen Family Residence are must-sees.
The ancient village, with its quietly living people, combines the dilapidated old houses with the contemporary new countryside, creating a unique flavor.
Here, the hairy crabs are very famous, and coinciding with the 🦀️ season, I found a farmhouse at the entrance of the village and had a hearty meal.
Shiping's tourism ecology is quite good, with almost all attractions being free of charge, pristine, and slow-paced, making it very suitable for Citywalk
Shiping Ancient City is not accessible by train. It takes about 50 minutes by car from Jianshui Bus Terminal to Shiping, and then walks about 15 minutes to reach the ancient city. The ancient city with a thousand-year history is antique in architecture, residential houses and streets, suitable for slow appreciation.
Shiping Ancient City is the old city block that S Honghezhou has retained better. Chinese historical and cultural district. In the history of more than 2,000 years, Shiping Ancient City has created a brilliant culture, Taishidi, Jinshidi, General Di, Observation Di, Zongren Mansion and private gardens are dazzling, and experts call Shiping Ancient City a museum of Ming and Qing residential buildings.
Shiping, who re-taught Xingwen, was the "document famous state" of the Ming and Qing generations, and had 65 scholars, 15 Hanlin, 1 economic special yuan, 1 Wu Jinshi, and 640 people. Among them, the economic special yuan is the economic science Zhuangyuan Yuan Jiagu, which is also the only one in Yunnan history. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shiping had 10 academies, hundreds of private schools and Yixue, and the temples that have been preserved to date have carried the expectations and aspirations of many readers.
Shiping is really a very low-key existence compared to its neighbor Jianshui. This is a well-preserved and oily ancient city; Shiping tofu is also delicious; the only pity is that there is no place to eat down the street; it is worth seeing.
I went to Shiping Ancient City on National Day in 23 years. It has a sense of history. I must have been brilliant that year. I recommend to play. There are many barbecues, especially the tofu is good. I can't eat it in other places, but the environment is poor. Yilong Lake is very large, choose cloudy weather is the best light rain to play, the scenery is more beautiful, sunny and hot, it is not recommended to go, homogenization, no entertainment projects.
Shiping Ancient City niche tourist spot, it is recommended
Very worth going. I am a native of Shiping, and later went out to work. Going home during the Spring Festival, the blue stone trail was still like 30 years ago, and the shop was almost unchanged. Every step was uniform and needed to be tasted slowly.
