The main birthplace of the Manchus ~ Jilin Ula Street

"First there is Ula, then there is Jilin." For me, this native Jilin people should go to Ula Street to see, so I got up early, prepared some snacks on the road and two sisters drove to the "Ula Street".

In late August in Jilin, the warmth of summer is slowly fading, although the splendor of autumn has not yet made its debut, but the distant sky and cool air indicate that autumn is approaching.

Along the way, the fields are full of vigorous crops, and under the sunlight, you can see that they are making a final effort to give the people who planted them a golden harvest.

Ula Street, originally called "Ula Ga (gai)", "Ula" and "ga" are Chinese along the river and townships, townships, marketplace meaning, together is the "townships along the river". "townships along the river", "ga" and "street (read gai in the northeast)" harmonized, and later evolved into "Wula Street (gai)". ", the fifties to promote Mandarin and read as "Wula Street (jie)". Wula Street, more than thirty kilometers from the center of Jilin City, the town west of the Songhua River, is one of the main birthplaces of the Manchu people, tracing the history of Jilin should start from the Wula Street, because there is a Wula after the Jilin, Wula Street still retains the traditional Manchu customs and a number of places of interest. The famous Freezing Mist Island is located here. Wula Street, the earliest city for the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the middle of the Ming Dynasty Haixi female truth in this establishment of the Ula State, 1613, Nurhachu destroyed the Ula State, and here to build up their strength and strength to the Central Plains, and then won the world, therefore, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty soon after the capital of Beijing, the ban on the Ula Street within a radius of 500 miles, it is honored as "the birth of this dynasty of the Holy Land". In 1657, the ancient city of Ula set up to play the Yamen, making it one of the country's "four major tribute base", as of 1911, the Qing dynasty ended, the tribute counted 255 years.

Driving into Ula Street, the first thing I saw was a row of tree paper being cut into thin slices to dry, I guess it should be made of plywood.

Into the Ula Street, see the first most eye-catching very old building "Ula Street movie theater", but has been occupied by a variety of stalls.

The ancient ruins of Ula Street are now well-preserved Ula Department of the former city, Kui House, after the House, Sa House, mosque.

Now there are only white flowers pointing platform, above the establishment of the Martyrs Memorial Tower, the west side of the wall has disappeared, the remaining three walls can only rely on the ground above the "mound" to be recognized, the entire Department of the former city of Ula overgrown.

With a full stomach, we continue to walk the streets of Ula Street, weaving in and out of history and modernity.

A lot of the old brick buildings are in a state of disrepair.

Walking down the old street.

The architecture of Ula is unique, with only raindrops and no tiled eaves.

Beautiful roof ridge warping, such as like the wings of the swallow.

It seems that there are still people living in the dilapidated houses.

I don't know it's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and in the evening I asked my classmates to have dinner and watch a movie together, so I drove back. The Ula Street trip was successful and happy, on the way back from the Ula Street, the three sisters could not help but get out of the car to take a beautiful picture, for today's trip to draw a conclusion.
