Phoenix Ancient City is a national AAAA-level scenic spot, a famous historical and cultural city, the city has a long history, many monuments, wherever you go, there are news historical materials, but I am not very interested, just hurriedly passed, what I am interested in is the ancient city wall of Phoenix Ancient City. The ancient city wall shimmered with immortal light in the distance, beckoning to me, like a brilliant rainbow, hanging in the air and shining, deeply attracting me to go. I was full of thoughts, a little excited, and I was planning to discuss with Xiaolei to play on the ancient city wall...
Xiao Lei said: "Dashan, where are we going to play next?" Are there good spots to recommend?! ”
I smiled and said, "Xiaolei, there is a good spot, I was planning to discuss with you, I have walked for so long, I am afraid that you will not want to go with me, so I have been thinking about whether to go." ”
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Dashan, aren't we just looking for a place to play when we come out to travel?!" Don't be afraid, I will go wherever you go, and I am not afraid of hard work if you are not afraid. ”
I said, "Okay, let's go, let's go to the ancient city walls." However, Xiaolei, let me tell you first, the ancient wall city is five or six kilometers long, I'm afraid it's more than that, I don't know how long it is, slowly taste the energy, now regret it, it's too late, big deal we won't play. ”
Xiao Lei smiled and said: "Let's go, Dashan, there is nothing to regret and no regrets, with you together, no matter how far it is." The cultural treasures in the famous cultural city, I just want to appreciate and appreciate, no matter how tired and bitter it is, it is worth it. ”
The two of us agreed on each other, our steps were brisk, and after a while, we came to the foot of the ancient city wall. We entered from a more prosperous street, so the houses inside and outside the ancient city walls were dense, all of which were quaint houses two or three stories high. The house presents the architectural style of the Huipai horse head wall, which inadvertently adds a bit of dazzling brilliance. The ground floors of the houses on both sides are commercial shops, and people come and go. In addition to selling Phoenix souvenirs, snacks, miscellaneous goods, food, tobacco and alcohol, etc., there are also high-end shops such as long-established silverware and sterling silver wholesale departments on the streets next to the ancient city walls.
Exquisite and dazzling silver jewelry and silver products are a favorite of the Miao Tujia people, who wear exquisite silver jewelry, dress themselves up, decorate their age, and attend various important occasions and gatherings. In addition, it is also regarded as a magic weapon to detoxify and maintain health, calm the mind and avoid evil. Some visitors enter the shop hall where they carefully select silver jewelry. Next to the ancient city wall in this area, there is a long observation deck road more than two meters wide, and the observation platform road is built of stone from the ground more than two meters high. The lookout road is paved with bluestone slabs, people stand on it, the ancient city wall is still more than two meters high, the ancient city wall has lookout holes and arrow ports, when the enemy comes, you can adapt to the enemy to win.
Standing on the observation deck at the height of the ancient city wall, you can see a different kind of green mountains and green water and the phoenix light of the Tuo River, you can see the dense ancient houses and buildings on both sides of the Tuo River, you can see the beautiful scenery of clouds, mist, abundant vegetation and lush trees on the mountains in the distance, and you can also see the spectacular scene of the peaks on the mountain, rolling and ravines. We admired the wonderful scenery of the ancient city as we walked, although it was a walk and flowers, but it would leave a little impression. Passing through the gate tower of the ancient city wall, by the ancient city wall, we saw the jumping rock on the Tuo River, and enjoyed the interesting landscape of people coming and going on the jumping rock. At this moment, a young couple came over, the little girl walked steadily in front, the young man staggered and did many strange movements walking behind, suddenly, the young man did not hold the balance, plopped into the river, I was nervous, just wanted to run over to save people, but I never thought, the young man was as light as a swallow, agile and quickly flipped to the jumping rock, the little girl turned back and smiled, almost fell into the Tuo River, swayed to stabilize, and quickly ran ashore.
The young man came up to the shore drenched and shouted, "Comfortable, comfortable." I said to Xiaolei: "It's the height of summer, and I can swim, so it's uncomfortable." ”
Xiao Lei whispered to me: "It's comfortable now, but it'll be uncomfortable in a while." ”
Sure enough, the young man said to the little girl with a sad face: "Chunyan, my mobile phone fell into the Tuo River, you wait, I'll go and catch it." ”
Chunyan girl even said: "Don't, don't. It's useless to soak in the water. ”
And firmly held him with both hands to prevent him from going, the guy had no choice, so he had to follow Chunyan away. When they walked away, I asked Xiaolei, "How do you know that he will be uncomfortable in a while." ”
Xiao Lei said: "You think, the guy was originally dressed when he was upright, but suddenly plopped into the Tuo River, shoes, socks, clothes, pants, watches, and mobile phones were soaked in water, can he still be comfortable when he wakes up?!" So what is the use of the phone even if it is fished out? At this point, Chunyan girl is right. "Next, we continue to visit the ancient city walls. Along the way I was thinking, sometimes women are far more sensitive than men, what you didn't expect, she thought of. Hi, don't think about it, let's visit the ancient city walls.
