Tour route of gubeishui town
Block of the Republic of China
Gubeikou is famous for its majestic danger since ancient times, and has a superior military geographical location. According to Miyun county annals, Gubeikou is the capital of the border fortress in the north. Shuntian belongs to Songting, Gubeikou and Juyong, and Gubei is youchong. Gubeikou has attracted numerous literati and scholars with its unique military culture. Su Zhe, Liu Chang, Nalan Xingde and other writers and Ci writers have left many famous poems here, and emperors Kangxi and Qianlong praised it for its precipitousness and importance by "holding back the heart and throat, leaving the lock and key in the sky and pillow the majestic pass" for many times. From the parking lot through the lion bridge into the scenic area, the entrance of the tower 'capital lock key' four characters are particularly conspicuous.
From the parking lot to the ticket entrance, this section is the Republic of China block. Most of the buildings here are rich in the characteristics of the Republic of China. The houses are arranged on both sides. Although the height is uneven, it does not seem abrupt. The road is not very wide. This is the only way to enter the water town, but it can not be regarded as entering the scenic area, so there are not too many people staying here.
Water Street Historical Area
When you enter the ancient town, you will first arrive at the historic Water Street area of gubeishui town. There are two streets, facing the entrance and passing through Nantianmen, Tangshi street. Most of them are special shops and snacks. If you come to the water town, it's just a meal point. You can fill your stomach first. Then I'll take a look at the rattan shop, loudspeakers shop (musical instrument store), umbrella villa, post office, etc. the items inside are quite distinctive. If you like, you can buy them, but the price is slightly higher.
On the other side of the historical area of Water Street is the workshop street. As the name suggests, there are some handicraft workshops that you can experience personally. In order to prevent missing the scenic spots, I went to Tangshi street and then turned back from Riyue island. Many of the workshop streets can be experienced in person, and those you like can also be bought and taken away. It takes a lot of time for everyone to go and play. It is suggested that you can come the next day. The famous Sima Xiaoshao distillery and Sima jar restaurant can enjoy the wine making process, taste the mellow and strong aroma of Shaojiu, and experience the production of lees dishes.
Wolongbao folk culture area
The ancestral hall of Yang Wudi was built in memory of the famous general Yang Ye who fought against the Liao Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. There are two Yangling ancestral halls in Gubeikou, one of which was built by the Liao people. In the Song Dynasty, Gubeikou was the territory of Liao state and the only way between Liao and Song dynasties. Although Liao people were defeated by Yang's generals for many times, Liao people also admired Yang's loyalty and bravery. Therefore, after Liao and Song dynasties were reconciled, they built yanglinggong ancestral hall in Gubeikou. Then the other one was built by the local people to worship the Yang family general, and they worshipped the Yang family general as the protection god of the local people, called it 'Yang Wudi', which is the ancestral hall of Yang Wudi in gubeishui town. The ancestral hall is not built very large. You can see the inner hall directly when you walk up. However, you are not allowed to take pictures inside. As soon as you lift the camera, you are stopped by the staff inside, so you have to come out disappointed. There is a jujube tree at the door, which is full of slightly ripe dates. Originally, I wanted to pick two and have a taste. When I walked in, I found a small wooden card hanging in the crown of the tree, saying 'pesticide sprayed, do not eat'.
No matter the workshop street or Tangshi street, they will gather in Riyue Island square. There are some small handicraft stalls in the square, such as straw weaving, sugar painting, calligraphy and painting. The most prominent one is the theater facing the square. There will be many performances and different repertoires in one day. It should be noted that if you want to watch the opera, you must pay attention to the performance time so as not to miss it.
The church on the top of the hill is the best place to overlook the town. Although it takes some effort to climb up, it will make you feel worthwhile to see the view of the top of the mountain. From the church on the top of the mountain, you can see the Yuantong tower, the Simatai Great Wall and the historical area of Water Street in the distance. It is said that the church on the top of the mountain is an excellent place to enjoy the night view of the water town. The scenery is also very good in the daytime. There are binoculars on the top of the mountain for free.
Tanghe Guzhai District
After walking through Riyue Island square and following the road signs, I originally wanted to find Zhenyuan escort agency, but I first saw a health care foot road hall, which charged for fees. The pool outside can soak feet for free. Nearby trees are towering, lotus and red lotus are blooming in competition, and the environment is elegant. If you are tired of visiting the town, you can come to this place for a bubble.
Zhenyuan escort agency is one of the most ornamental scenic spots in gubeishui town. In ancient times, the political situation was turbulent and the people were in dire straits. Some people were forced to become bandits. In order to adapt to the times, the escort agency industry came into being, which is similar to the express delivery now. To collect money, and to eliminate disasters. It's a very classic line in martial arts movies. It's very suitable for escort. You can get into the real life of the escorts by negotiating the price in the meeting hall, practicing martial arts on the plum blossom stake, pushing the escort cart, showing your fists and feet, and visiting Zhenyuan escort agency.
Walking to the Tanghe ancient village tourist area, almost to the end of gubeishui town. There are many special restaurants in this area, such as roast meat restaurant, snail powder restaurant, mutton soup restaurant, etc. The most famous Wangjing street in gubeishui town is here. You can watch the famous light water dance show in Wangjing Tower Square on Wangjing street at night.
Simatai Great Wall
In the second year of Longqing, in order to strengthen the northern military defense, Zhu Zaiyan, Mu Zong of the Ming Dynasty, specially appointed Qi Jiguang to build the Simatai Great Wall for the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. On the basis of the original building walls, piers and other facilities to resist the enemy, highlighting the momentum of the pass. Until the battle of Gubeikou in 1933, the great wall of Simatai was bombarded by gunfire, and the ruins became more and more vigorous.
In 1987, Simatai Great Wall was listed in the world heritage list. It is the only ancient architectural site that retains the original appearance of Ming Dynasty in China. It is identified as the 'original Great Wall' by UNESCO. Professor Luo Zhewen, a famous expert on the great wall of China, commented that "the great wall of China is the best in the world, while the great wall of Simatai is the greatest of the great wall of China". In 2012, Simatai Great Wall was rated by the British times as' the top 25 places in the world that can't be missed '.
Simatai section of the Great Wall is famous for its danger, density, strangeness, cleverness and completeness. Danger means that it is built on the ridge of a knife and axe, which is extremely dangerous; 'dense' refers to the distance between the two enemy buildings. The distance between the two enemy buildings is the nearest tens of meters, the farthest is no more than 300 meters, and the average distance is only 140 meters; 'Qi' refers to the steep and magnificent mountain scenery of Simatai Great Wall, and there is Yuanyang Lake (the intersection of cold spring and hot spring) at the foot of the mountain, which forms the beautiful scenery of the lake and the mountains; 'Qiao' embodies "Quan" refers to the architectural styles of the city tower and the enemy tower, which are unique and diverse.
