The ancient city of Tangjiaer in Qinghai, a famous cultural city on the frontier, is it the national characteristic of the northwest region?

Tired from work, it's like going to a distant place to completely relax myself, so I came to Qinghai. In Qinghai, I not only saw Qinghai Lake, but also saw a famous ancient city with ethnic characteristics in the northwest. The ancient city of Tangar is small in scale, and most of them are old buildings built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With Tangar Street as the center, there are many shops selling many local tourist souvenirs and Tibetan specialties in Qinghai. The ancient city is a city of culture, leaving behind many famous poems and songs, myths and legends, as well as folk arts such as putting lanterns, paper-cutting, folk art and sheepskin embroidery.

This is a complete windfall. Although there is no plan for the trip to Qinghai, there is no arrangement for this place. The destination of renting a car is Qinghai Lake. Because no one in the group has heard of this ancient and beautiful town. In fact, it has long been a very famous place, but we are ignorant. It just proves that travel enriches life. We didn't know where the car was when it stopped us in a clearing. An ancient town appeared in front of us. Its name is written on the city gate: the ancient city of Tangar. So, we met him.

Not in Tangermei. There are many old buildings, tools used, houses where ancient people lived, and a museum to visit. Many things are unprecedented. The Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are combined here, the farming culture and grassland culture meet here, the ancient Tang-Fan Road and the Southern Silk Road meet here, and many ethnic groups gather here, so it has the reputation of "Little Beijing". The ancient city of Tanger is located in Qinghai Province, on the north bank of the Yellow River, on the coast of the West Sea, and the source of Huangshui.

Generally speaking, it is a free scenic spot, and individual small scenic spots need to be charged separately. There are not many people in the scenic spot, and the commercialization is not so serious, so it is more primitive and slightly quaint than other ancient cities I have been to. The ancient city is small, and the whole browsing time is about one hour. There is no special parking lot, and there is a one-time charge for roadside parking.

The stars in the night gradually fade away, and the morning in Huangyuan is a little cold, but the pedestrians and vehicles in the street outside the window have already started a day's life. At that time, an ancient city on the ancient tea-horse road and an ancient city on the Silk Road also had distinctive doors, which were especially suitable for taking pictures. The typical northwest style is completely different from that of inland cities. Walking on the stone road in the city, it seems that you can hear camel bells coming from outside the city!

Enter the city from Gonghaimen. A square two-story attic on the palace Haimen is the Fire Foot Pavilion. Huozu is the inventor of artificial fire in Taoist folk belief. Locals call Huozu Pavilion "the first building in the upper reaches of Huangshui River", and it proudly becomes the landmark building of Tangjiaer City in Huangyuan. Under the city gate, looking up at the attic, there are wind chimes hanging at the four corners of the high cornice. Xu Lai, breezy and tinkling, seems to be telling the tortuous experience of its eventful years and showing off its glorious past in its heyday.

Visiting the ancient city is my favorite trip, and more importantly, it is a famous commercial place since the Western Han Dynasty. I climbed the tower with great joy. Standing here, you can see the city and the outside. Ancient pagodas at the top of the mountain and houses in the forest; A tile, a brick and a window on the pavilion all bear heavy multicultural information and show the grandeur of ancient frontier cities. But this is the vast beauty of the northwest, earth buildings, cracked walls and closed eyes. Thousands of years ago, it should have been so bustling, noisy horses and chariots, and hawking in the market, which is worth a visit!

Generally, you can go around Qinghai Lake by the way, or you can take the bus line from Xining to Huangyuan. Streets less than 1000 meters long in the ancient city are connected with buildings such as the City God Temple, the Confucius Temple and the Tangar Hall. There are also well-preserved "Xie Jia" shops in the city, and Huangyuan lamps with different styles are rich in national characteristics, but the effect can only be seen during the Spring Festival. The ticket is X yuan, which is a through ticket. You can enter small scenic spots with this ticket. What you can usually see are some shops selling things. Actually, you can visit the ancient city without buying a ticket. If you have all kinds of discount cards, be sure to take them with you. Basically, the ticket sellers are not strict.

It was once an important cultural center and military fortress in western China. Once upon a time, the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were combined here, the farming culture and grassland culture met here, the ancient Tang-Fan Road and the Southern Silk Road met here, and many ethnic groups gathered here. However, the ancient city in front of us is particularly depressed and deserted. Looking around, there are only a few tourists in the ancient street, and the shops along the street after repair are almost deserted. The vast ancient city is quiet, like a sleeping old man, dreaming of the prosperity and glory of the past in the bleak autumn of northwest China.

Although the ancient city of Tangar is not well known, its ancient charm still exists. A small town that is not completely controlled by business is not big. A main street is 200 meters long. In addition to ancient buildings, there are also some small shops selling antiques. Friends who are interested in collecting can stop by, otherwise it is a place where you don't need to stop. Sometimes when you walk into the ancient city, you will hear many voices from the northwest and ethnic groups in the shadow play shop. A small shop is full of shadow play, which is lifelike. An old man is performing and a man is watching a play.

The ancient city of Tangar is also a city of culture, where all ethnic groups meet and merge, and all kinds of cultures grow together here, forming a unique regional culture. When we strolled in this ancient city, we tasted the display of Tangar folk culture and national costumes, as if we had traveled through time and space and returned to that distant era.
