Five years ago, I came with my friends. It was early September. The weather was still hot, but it was not the peak season of tourism. The eaves of the old boat street were full of people who drank tea and played cards. Besides the shops on both sides, there were many stalls under the eaves of the street, selling some daily necessities, which was full of popularity and atmosphere of life. Suddenly, it was attracted. It was really an old town alive, not for tourists, but for local people. It's not like the old towns of popular attractions, dead towns built for tourists, or old towns that borrow their corpses to return their souls. Five years later, I took my husband and children to see an old town that was trying to please tourists and improve itself. It has built tourist centers, set up road signs, road maps, widened some roads, repaired clean toilets, unified lintels and painted false panes. In some ways, it is convenient for tourists and locals, but on the other hand, it is losing its own characteristics and becoming the mainstream of the same ancient town. At present, every corner of China is vigorously excavating to create tourism resources, and ancient towns are a big catch. Those ancient towns or elegant or vicissitudes or beautiful or entertainment, etc., in any case, have their own characteristics to be remembered in order to let people linger. Luocheng is characterized by its close connection with the daily life of the local people, rather than as an image of tourists. When I came to Luocheng near the Spring Festival, I was not as popular as when I came in September. I heard that Luocheng had built a new town, so I understood why many shops under Ship Street closed their doors and did not see another booth. There are not many tourists. Especially the neat and uniform shop decoration, although it is ancient decoration, but still see it gradually leaving the local people's life, open the way for visitors. The question is, do tourists like this way of flattery? As far as I'm concerned, I'm disappointed to see an old town that was alive is dying. The tourists who were expecting it died. Even more ridiculous is the slogan "China's Noah Ark" on the trash can. Is it necessary to flatter Western culture so flatteringly? The old boat street has its own characteristics and historical culture. It implies that there is water with boats. It has nothing to do with Noah's ark in order to avoid floods. Why should we abandon our own history and culture to the distant foreign culture? # The phrase "China's Noah's Ark" is also printed on the trash can everywhere. This harvest is to see the stone lion, which is known as the number one in southwest China. It is quite shocking indeed. The vicissitudes of history come from the side. At present, we can see a lot of local people's lives, but we don't know what will happen after several years of construction. Come and see as soon as possible.

    Luocheng Ancient Town, the ancient town is free, parking is very convenient, there is a parking lot for free within 20 minutes, more than 20 minutes 10 yuan / time. Overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient town needs to enter the temple for 10 yuan / time. The ancient town has been expanded, but the main part is not big and very beautiful. The green stone street in the ancient town of Luocheng, the old cool hall, and the outdated ancient stage are scattered memories left here by the years. The old houses wearing wooden structures are crowded next to one another, and the head cannot be seen or the tail. The white walls of the family are black tiles. From a high place, overlooking a large mottled small blue tile house, scattered in scale, shaped like a large ship on the top of the mountain, a black gray. From a distance, the ancient stage is covered with traces of erosion. Mottled walls, old windows, dilapidated wooden houses are old in time, quietly waiting for the tranquility here, the wind and rain are easy to old, they all say that the years are flowing away, the precipitation is Fanghua, the tea shop basically has no decoration, the simple look is very grounded. The tea house next to it has some tables and chairs in the not wide cool hall that look a bit crowded and messy. This is an ancient street with a strong tea culture atmosphere, with a strong local culture and market atmosphere. People living in this land and foreign tourists sitting around the table, playing cards, drinking tea, chatting. Life is so leisurely and comfortable. The tea cup is full of not only the strong tea fragrance, but also the warm emotions between people. Even the kittens and puppies on the street are so lazy and careless. There is no water here, but there is a boat, never anchor, and there is no return period, deduced by the different scenery of "the boat is on the top of the mountain."

    The street buildings in Luocheng are like a boat. The architectural layout is extremely unique. This surviving old street still retains some of the cultural styles of the old Sichuan culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties... The second floor of the temple charges 10 yuan to go upstairs to see the boat style of the ancient town. Tea is on both sides of the street. The mutton soup is OK too.

    The ancient town is relatively small, and it can be visited in half an hour, but it is very charming. It may be because the small town is relatively small, so it really feels like an ancient town. The road from the visitor center to the boat-shaped street is very quiet, but it makes people feel very relaxed. There is a stone-paved sheep intestine trail in the middle of the antique building. It really feels like watching. The boat-shaped street is mainly for drinking tea and playing cards. It is also very good. The remote town is really matched with the lively tea street. Except for the boat street, other alleys are narrow, but they are also very fun (I personally like the alley of Changchun Barbershop, ), after passing through the boat street, it is another street, mainly the market. Buy some small east and west. Overall, it is quite good but a bit small. If you don't like the ancient street with a particularly heavy commercial atmosphere like Chengdu Luo Belt and Kuanzhai, it is worth a visit here!
