[Travel Notes] The martial arts world described by Mr. Jin Yong—Xiangyang, Hubei

Get on the train and the high-speed train will arrive in just an hour. The first stop is the national 5A tourist attraction - Gulongzhong Scenic Area. This is the place where Zhuge Liang, a famous politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, worked in seclusion. The story of the Three Kingdoms "Liu Bei" The historical event of “Visiting the Thatched Cottage Three Times” happened here.

The main attractions include Zhuge Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Temple, Hexagonal Well, Star Observation Deck, etc. The entire thatched cottage is built against the mountains, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and lush vegetation. It is really a secluded fairyland.

After visiting Gulongzhong, I went straight to Xiangyang Beef Noodles and ordered a bowl of authentic beef noodles for only 15 yuan.

Different from other places, leeks "replace" the position of coriander here. When served, the oil is red, the scallions are white, the leeks are green, and the noodles are yellow. It is the authentic Xiangyang beef noodles. It tastes spicy, spicy and delicious. .

Take advantage of the night view to see the ancient city wall of Xiangyang. This is Xiangyang City guarded by Guo Jing and Huang Rong. This is the martial arts world written by Mr. Jin Yong. Here feel the traces of history.

Walk along Xiangyang Xiaobeimen Antique Street, experience the living customs of local citizens, and taste authentic Xiangyang specialties.

Early the next morning, we took a bus to visit the national 4A-level tourist attraction Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base - Tangcheng, China. Tangcheng is the main setting for the famous director Chen Kaige's magical blockbuster "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and the hit high-quality fantasy IP drama "The Night". Filming location.

The real scene of the ancient city is restored one to one, showing the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Coming here is like seeing the paradise in "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

The scenic area is divided into five major areas: city towers, palaces, markets, residences, and temples. There are eight major building complexes including Mingde Gate, Qianbu Corridor, East-West Market, Qinglong Temple, Tang Dynasty Imperial City, Ximing Temple, Hu Yue Tower, and Chen Gao's Residence.

What shocked me the most was the Calyx Xianghui Building and Hongqiao. This was also the place that left the deepest impression on me in the movie.

After a quick stroll through Tangcheng, we came to Xijiachi, the originator of Chinese private gardens. Xijiachi is a private garden owned by Xiyu, Marquis of Xiangyang in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. It has a history of nearly 2,000 years.

It is one of the earliest existing gardens in China, one of the few extant Han Dynasty gardens in the country, and is known as "the first suburban garden in China". That is Finished shopping.

We headed to what I was most looking forward to during this trip - Xiangyang Weidong Machinery Factory. This place became famous overnight due to the movie "Hello, Li Huanying". It is a place full of a sense of the times, and the memories of many people have been put on the big screen.

The style is very retro and nostalgic. When you walk through the door, you really feel like you have traveled back to the 1980s. This door is like a door to time and space. When you step in, you feel like you have traveled through time and space. This is life in the 1980s.

When I was buying popsicles, I asked the proprietress if she had seen Jia Ling, Shen Teng, and Zhang Xiaofei at that time. The proprietress happily said that she had been here every day and even bought things from her. To round it off, I have also seen celebrities. Human, haha.
