    ?

    As they spoke and walked, the two soon followed the flow of people to the aisle of the overpass.  It is said that when it was built, it was worried that the common people would be delayed because of the chieftain's walking.  So directly across the road from the air.  And standing on this aisle, you can have a panoramic view of Sifang Street.

    When Chu Lihua was lying on the top and looking down, a tour guide came by with a group of tourists.

    ¡ª¡ª"Everyone can see from here that you can clearly overlook Sifang Street. The traffic extends in all directions, and the surrounding alleys are secluded. It is said that it was built by the chieftain of the Mu family in the Ming Dynasty according to the shape of his seal. This is the most important hub on the ancient tea-horse road. Ming Dynasty  Since the Qing Dynasty, merchants from all over the world have gathered here, and the cultures of various ethnic groups have intersected and lived here. It is the center of Lijiang's economic and cultural exchanges.

    ?Sifang Street is famous for its unique street scene of colorful stone pavement, clean water washing the street, daytime and mid-day, and dusk.  Around it, six colorful flower stone streets follow the trend of the mountains and radiate away, connecting streets and alleys.  Leading in all directions, the transportation is extremely convenient.

    The deep streets and alleys of Sifang Street allow people to enter the city from all directions through streets, paths, alleys, fields and even trails on the mountain.  Lijiang is a city that meets the gurgling water day and night, just like Venice.

    However, the waterways in Dayan Ancient Town were excavated manually by design.  There is only one original river, the Zhonghe River passing through the city, from which the West River and East River are artificially developed, which are divided into three branches, like the trunk and two branches of a big tree.  From them sprang innumerable little canals.  Residents can even drink directly from the spring.  Sifang Street is a small trapezoidal square. When it was built, it was designed to be slightly raised in the middle and concave on both sides, like a giant tile.

    There is a river on the west side of the square; there is a sluice on the river. When the market closes in the evening, the residents close the sluice. The water level of the river rises immediately, spreads over the whole square along the tile-shaped slope, and flows to the waste water around it.  In the dark ditch.  On all sides of the square, there is a sewer drain 30 cm wide and 45 cm deep, each of which is connected to the sewers in the paved backyard around the square.  In this way, a complete sewage system is formed from the ground to the ground, washing Sifang Street clean.  "

    Chu Lihua listened with gusto, never expecting that the wisdom of the ancients is always so great.

    In this way, even if there is a heavy rainstorm and the drainage system is so strong, I believe that the deep water after the heavy rain on the streets of various big cities will not happen.

    ¡ª¡ª"Because the ancient city is free and open, you can visit it after visiting Mufu. I will introduce it to you first, and everyone will take a rest in this aisle.

    Sifang Street is the central square of the ancient city, covering an area of ??about 6 mu.  The shape of the square is very similar to the square magistrate's seal. The chieftain named Sifang Street, which means "power town square".  Some people also say that it is called Sifang Street because the roads here lead to all directions, and it is a distribution center for the flow of people and goods in all directions.

    Sifang Street is the heart of Lijiang Old Town.  It is well-known for its unique streetscape of colorful stone pavement, clear water washing the street, day and China as the city, and evening washing.  Around it, six colorful flower stone streets follow the trend of the mountains and radiate away, connecting streets and alleys.  Leading in all directions, the transportation is extremely convenient.  Being in it, one seems to have stepped into the prosperous scene of "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival".

    A large area of ??the ancient city still maintains the architectural characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Rows of tile-roofed buildings in the style of "three squares and one screen wall, four in five courtyards, and Zoumajiaojiaolou" not only highlight the structural layout, but also pursue carving and painting decoration.  Coincidentally, it has been hailed as the "Museum of Folk Houses" by Chinese and foreign architectural experts.

    What's more worth mentioning is that the residents of the ancient city have always loved planting flowers and trees and cultivating bonsai, so that the ancient city enjoys the reputation of "Lijun always likes to plant trees, and the mountain city is full of flowers".

    In the deep streets and alleys of Sifang Street in the ancient city of Lijiang, on both sides of the road paved with bluestones, all the houses are of brick and wood structure.  Most of the doors, windows, balustrades and bucket arch cornices are carved with patterns of flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals.  The city itself is a park, with small bridges, flowing water, trees and flowers.  You can hear the melodious sound of jade flutes and copper flutes, or the singing of orioles inhabiting green willows; it is different from the common cities with walls in ancient China; except for the walls surrounding the Muwangfu, Lijiang is the only ancient city in China that is not fortified.

    It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang bestowed the surname "Mu" on the chieftain, the chieftain demolished the city wall.  Because adding a wall outside the "wood" is "trapped".

    Sifang Street at night is enveloped in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.  The reflections of the red lanterns float with the river water, roughly and gracefully.  This is the market center of the past dynasties, with tens of thousands of animals moving every day, it is very lively.  Four main streets extend from the four corners of Sifang Street, leading directly to the four suburbs in the southeast, northwest, and many streets and alleys branch off from the main street, intertwined like spider webs, and the traffic is smooth.  The streets are all paved with multicolored stones, flat and clean, no dust when it is sunny, and no water when it rains.

    Almost every side of the street is accompanied by gurgling water.  As a result, with Sifang Street as the center and surrounded bySurrounded by shops and inns, the dense and open pattern along the street is extended layer by layer. The ancient market gave birth to the original shape of the city. Is this the same as the traditional Chinese well-shaped street?  "

    Later, Chu Lihua didn't care what the tour guide said anymore.

    Because, her heart has already flown to Sifang Street.

    She really wanted to hurry up and see for herself the water flow system that was so ingeniously conceived.

    However, because he has already traveled with Monk Yun.  So I had no choice but to hold back my cheering little heart.  Pull her to finish the stroll in the next Mu Mansion as soon as possible.

    Therefore, Chu Lihua hardly cared about the various scenes behind.

    However, when Monk Yun climbed to the highest point.

    Chu Lihua couldn't help being amazed. Standing here and looking around, there were rows of gray tile roofs in front of her eyes.  Shang Yun sighed from the side, and he had a panoramic view of the entire Lijiang Old Town.

    However, Chu Lihua just "calmly" recorded a small video, let's enjoy it slowly after returning home.

    For Shang Yun, a photographer fanatic, Chu Lihua couldn't stand it.

    For every angle, buy several modeling shots.

    Fortunately, Chu Lihua gradually figured it out.

    Don't look at the phone screen at all, just tap the middle of the screen with your finger, and the camera will automatically focus.  Then, shoot, done.

    Shang Yun was also dissatisfied in many ways at the beginning, such as luminosity, angle and so on.

    However, as Chu Lihua took more and more photos of her, she resigned to her fate.  The technology is there, there is no way to do it.

    Chu Lihua was finally freed, she thought unkindly.  After seeing you, do you want me to take pictures for you?

    However, when the venue is changed, Chu Lihua will find that she really thought too much just now.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
