Falling in love with a small town because of a fireworks iron show

On the journey to Situ Town, the most impressive experience was the iron fireworks display. The sparks flew like a pouring galaxy, a golden rainstorm carrying thousands of shooting stars, piercing the night, turning heaven and earth into a boiling sea of flames! As the craftsman swung his arm, the entire dark night exploded into dazzling powder. Here, you can feel the shock of ancient buildings standing tall for thousands of years, with traces of time flowing between the bricks and stones; you can also enjoy the poetic and picturesque natural scenery and breathe freely in this world-class health demonstration city! After arriving at the town, we took a free sightseeing bus and our first stop was Liuchi Alley. When I heard Liuchi Alley, my first thought was of the one in Tongcheng, Anhui, famous for its story of courtesy. Could Situ Town also have a Liuchi Alley? With full curiosity, we approached the alley entrance and only then did we realize after seeing the inscription. It turns out that Situ Town’s Liuchi Alley is inspired by and modeled after the one in Tongcheng. In a sense, it can be considered a "knockoff version." However, it is not a simple copy; Situ Town carefully created this scenic spot based on the story and cultural connotations of Liuchi Alley, combined with local conditions, aiming to convey the cultural concept of courtesy and harmony, allowing visitors to feel that unique cultural atmosphere here. Of course, compared to the authentic Liuchi Alley in Tongcheng, Anhui, with its deep historical roots, Situ Town’s Liuchi Alley still has obvious differences in originality. After visiting Liuchi Alley, we realized that although the town’s name has a long history, it is actually newly built and not a traditional ancient town in the usual sense. Further research revealed that in 2010, Situ Village started building an agricultural ecological park on a slag mountain south of the village; in 2011, the park transformed into suburban leisure agriculture, creating a real-life "Happy Farm"; later, after upgrades and renovations, it was officially renamed "Situ Town."
