History and culture: Xinchang ancient town was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, formerly known as "Qingyuan City". It is one of the famous historical and cultural towns on the ancient tea-horse road. For hundreds of years, merchants have gathered and its ancient town covers an area of 400,000 square meters. It is the largest and well-protected water town in Xishu, Sichuan. Dongda County, Xinchang is 58 kilometers away from Chengdu, passing through the ancient Shu Road in the west, which can lead to Kang and Tibet. There are waterways to Xinjin and Jiazhou in the south, and Xujiang, Tiangong Temple, Huashuiwan and Xiling Snow Mountain in the north. Xinchang Town has had the beauty of "One Xintian, Two Tangs (fields) and Three Guankou" since ancient times. The ancients praised Xinchang as "Sanli Sound City, a street lamp on a spring night", which is the hill of Dayi. Xinchang is a new tourist town in Chengdu after Pingle, Anren and other ancient towns. It was founded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists and a commercial town where merchants gather. It is also a famous historical and cultural town on the ancient tea-horse road, with the reputation of "one new (field), two Tang (field) and three irrigation". During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xirong, a scholar from Yunnan Province, visited Wu Shusheng, a local celebrity and the mentor of Emperor Guangxu, and stayed at Touyan Inn. Moved by the scenery and human feelings of Xinchang ancient town, he left a poem saying: "The sun is setting outside the flowers, and Yunfeng is a few floors dark. There was a sound of three miles, and a street lamp on a spring night. High pillow in bamboo building, Taoyuan Dream Wuling. I want to be a dragon. "

In the past, due to factors such as capital and transportation, Xinchang ancient town was closed for many years. More than 200,000 square meters of well-preserved high-quality tourism resources such as houses, streets and houses in western Sichuan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as churches combining Chinese and Western styles, were "locked in boudoir", making it difficult for the world to see the whole picture. With the opening of chengwenqiong expressway, Xinchang Ancient Town was named "China Famous Historical and Cultural Town" in February 2008.

In today's new field, the streets and lanes of the ancient town still retain the traditional well-shaped pattern of "two verticals and two horizontals" and "seven streets and six lanes". The newly-built tourist center, restaurants, inns, tea shops and other infrastructure are all available, and the ancient town tourism has begun to take shape.

Main attractions: Diaolou, Catholic Church and Xinchang Impression Hall. Just as we arrived at the entrance of the ancient town, two quaint towers came into view. This is a replica of the existing ancient watchtower in Touyan Village, Xinchang Town, standing at the entrance of the ancient town, one on the left and one on the right, with extraordinary momentum. The three-story structure of the whole watchtower has two completely different styles, Europe and western Sichuan, and the exquisite carved decoration vaguely reveals the wealth and luxury of the owner of that year.

Now, this watchtower has a new use. The "Three-inch Golden Lotus Museum" and "Jianghu Gang Museum" jointly built by the local government and Jianchuan Museum have settled in and become two small themed folk museums. In the "Jianghu Clubs Museum", a large number of graphic materials introduced in detail the origin, development and reform of the three Jianghu Clubs in the old society, such as Paoge Organization, green gang (also known as green gang) and Hongbang (Hong Men). In the celebrity column of Paoge, the big landlord Liu is on the list. It turned out that he was famous in Paoge organization with the strength of "100,000 brothers and more than 10,000 guns", far exceeding his title of big landlord.

Along the old street of Guzhen, many buildings combine Chinese and western styles, and their styles are eye-catching. The roof is decorated with Chinese-style structure and wind-proof wall, western-style panes, Roman columns and petal-shaped vents ... These unique small buildings, some of which used to be Catholic churches, some were chambers of commerce, and some were villa houses of rich families, have experienced ups and downs in history, and I don't know how many legends of talented people and beautiful women have been staged among these blue bricks and tiles.

In the middle of the square, a "New Field Impression Pavilion" was added. Standing at the door, with a wave of his hand, the light door automatically opens, and the winding path in the museum leads to a secluded place, as if walking into just visiting. Hundreds of painted pottery, cash cow parts, gold-plated copper car parts, iron swords and other cultural relics are displayed here. "They came from the Western Han Dynasty at the earliest and the Qing Dynasty at the latest. They were all unearthed in Xinchang Town." According to the staff, most of the cultural relics were unearthed in Shihu Village, Xinchang Town.

Main attractions: former residence, Li's former residence.

Repair the old as before and reproduce the architectural style of the Republic of China

Liu Chengxun, whose real name is Yu Jiu, was the commander of the Third Army of Sichuan Army, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan Army, the governor of Sichuan Province and the commander of the 23rd Army of National Revolutionary Army. His former residence is at 49 Xia Zheng Street, Xinchang Town. With the efforts of the local government, the former residence has been comprehensively sorted out and restored not long ago. The frontispiece, the former residence, is very small, only the width of a pavement, and the inscription on the plaque reads "Changle Yongkang". A pair of gold-plated lion knockers on the bronze door add a bit of majesty and solemnity. Walking into the front yard along the narrow aisle, you can see wood carvings and clay sculptures with western Sichuan characteristics everywhere. The pattern is rich in content and exquisite in craftsmanship, with strong traditional aesthetic charm and folk characteristics in western Sichuan. The courtyard is cool and quiet. Although the sun is blazing outside, there is no trace of heat in the house. The back garden is directly connected with the river. Although the whole former residence is small, it reveals the elegance and exquisiteness of traditional culture everywhere.

Walking along Shangzheng Street, another gorgeous western-style building appeared in front of you. Li's ancient house is two stories high, with four floors on the front and seven floors on the side. The whole building is made of brick-wood structure, carved eaves columns and upturned white walls. All western-style columns and facades are beautifully carved and magnificent.

Main attractions: Bishan Temple and Chuangong.
