Xingping, a place with strange landscapes, its bustle has been focused by the world's cameras because of the visit of former US President Clinton in 1998, and now it has been attracted media attention again because the Yangshuo Station of the Guizhou-Guangzhou high-speed railway was officially opened on January 24.
It is better to say that it is Yangshuo Station than "Xingping Station".
▲The pattern on the 20 yuan is real
Ask me, why did you say that? Because the station is less than 7 kilometers away from Xingping, and the distance from the county seat is 30 kilometers, perhaps the high-speed rail line can not be named after the town, even if it is called Yangshuotai, but this does not prevent Xingping, the "pearl" on the Li River, from getting the moon first and grabbing the limelight again.
Why say it's again? This has to start with a sign on Xingping Ancient Street.
After seeing the return of Yuanbao Mountain, after passing a small bridge, do not go to Xingping Wharf, but go straight to Xingping Ancient Street. There is a sign on the gatehouse at the entrance of the street, which reads "Gu Xiping", and the couplet on both sides says: "The ancient town has elegant rhymes, and people purify their hearts."
Isn't this Xingping, how can it be called "Xiping"? According to the data, as early as the first year of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Ganlu (265 AD), it was already under the jurisdiction of Xiping County, which governed the Yangshuo area, and in the tenth year of the Sui Dynasty (590 AD), Xiping County was abolished and replaced by Yangshuo County, and Xingping was then under the jurisdiction of Yangshuo County. The pronunciation of "Xiping" is close to "Xingping", and later it was slowly rumored to be Xingping, as it was, more than 1700 years ago, Xingping was still the boss of Yangshuo!
Today, Xingping Old Street has been restored to its old appearance, but more and more Western restaurants such as coffee and pizza are taking root in this ancient street, and the houses on the street are being modernized and commercialized.
Because of the good news of the Guiguang high-speed railway, two years ago, the transformation of Xingping Ancient Town attracted a lot of investment from the hotel industry, and it is said that the annual rent of a house is now as high as one million, but there are still many local indigenous people.
Although this ancient street that must be visited to Xingping is not long, only about 1 kilometer, it is divided into new street and old street from the house number.
Strolling from this end of the street to the other end of the street, perhaps the most interesting thing is the pine candy made on the spot. In the impression of Fu Dijun, during the New Year's Festival, there are many pine flower candy made in the family as New Year goods, visiting relatives and friends to show friendship, if this pine flower candy can be added to sesame seeds or peanut kernels, it shows that this family is solid.
Two years ago, because of business to go to a Xingping, when the old street was being repaired, this time walked, like the West Street, there are old streets and new streets, connected together, the style is basically the same, the current local indigenous people live more on the street, compared to the West Street is much quieter, after the Spring Festival, it will be lively.
▲ The small objects on the street side are eye-catching
▲ Such a Chinese old style of houses, perhaps can not guess that it is a restaurant that eats wood-fired pizza.
Talking about small streets, the world will unconsciously move out of West Street compared with it, after all, it is a successful model known as the "global village", in the view of Fu Dijun, Xingping is trying to copy the legend of West Street, but is it still Xingping?
Xingping, besides the landscape, what else? Foolish to think it is quiet.
