Also known as Shenxiu Hall, Shuangyuan Fort faces east and covers an area of about 6,000 square meters. Oriented north to south, the fort has a near-elliptical layout, occupying 2,600 square meters with a building area of 1,900 square meters. It features four levels of semi-elliptical, high retaining slopes, a semi-circular rear wall with high steps, sloping feng shui walls, an inner courtyard, auxiliary rooms, a main hall, a central courtyard, side rooms, and corner towers. The front of Shuangyuan Fort is square, while the back is round. The first-level wall is entirely built of stone blocks, while the second level is made of rammed earth. The main gate faces east, with an outer granite arched gateway and an inner blue-brick arched entrance. Two side gates, the south called "Pangan" and the north called "Gonggu," are made of granite slabs. Inside, the fort is a three-hall, two-wing mansion-style structure. The first hall has five bays, a total width of 18.37m, and a depth of 5.51m, featuring a "chuan dou" (a traditional Chinese structural system) framework, exposed beams, and a hard-sloped roof. The second hall is three steps higher than the first, also with five bays, a total width of 18.32m, and a depth of 12.05m, with a rear hall at the back. The side rooms have ear rooms between the front and back, a "chuan dou" framework, double rafters, and a hard-sloped roof. The third hall is another three steps higher than the second, with five bays, a width of 18.32m, and a depth of 7.5m. It's a two-story building with a "chuan dou" framework and a hard-sloped roof. Passageways connect each hall to the wing rooms, forming a complex of nine courtyards and thirteen halls, with the wing room doors opening towards the central hall. Outbuildings include a wine cellar, granary, tool shed, kitchen and firewood room, rear flower terrace, chicken coop, and pigsty. A wine cellar, 3.14m long, 1.46m wide, and 1.06m deep, is located at the west end of the south racing track. Granaries are essential to every earthen fort, and Shuimei Fort has various types: cabinet-style granaries on the racing track, granaries within the protective housing, granaries on the rear flower terrace, and mobile granaries in the halls. Tool sheds and latrines are typically located at both ends of the outer protective housing, while kitchens are usually in a suitable space within the housing, often in the side rooms behind the main hall. The rear flower terrace serves as a place for growing flowers, drying clothes, and children's play. Open rooms for storing firewood are located against the fort walls. Study halls and libraries are conventionally placed in suitable locations within the side rooms, rear courtyard, or rear flower terrace.

I only knew Shaxian snacks before. But I didn’t expect that Shaxian also has so many interesting attractions! Traveling to Fujian during the Spring Festival, I realized that Shaxian is too low-key in the tourism industry💕 This time I will be really amazed by the beautiful earthen fortresses, and it is open to the public for free! The earthen fort was built by the Zhang family to defend against bandits, and villagers still live there today! Covering an area of ​​over 10,000 square meters, the three earthen forts are arranged in a "品" shape Built on the mountain, the layers upon layers are super shocking! 👀 Touch the mottled stone walls and feel the wisdom and stories of the immigrants from southern Fujian during the Qing Dynasty~ 🏮One-day tour in Shaxian ✅Double Yuan Burger Construction began during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and took 13 years to complete. It covers an area of ​​6,500 square meters. It is circular in shape, with an outer wall 0.8 meters high. There are 99 halls and rooms in the castle, and you can also go upstairs to visit. The overall architectural style is Hui style, with horse head walls and small green tiles, and some parts are integrated with southern Fujian elements. It has a beautiful architectural design while providing defense. ✅Shuangxing Fort Not far away is Shuangxing Fort, facing a rice field, which looks very spectacular from a distance. Construction began in the 28th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty and took three years to complete. It covers an area of ​​about 4,000 square meters. The building inside the fort is palace-style with two entrances. The whole building is fan-shaped and spreads out from low to high, which is very impressive! ✅Shuangjibao Located opposite Shuangxing Fort, it is also called Jingde Hall and is the earliest one built. It was first built in the 27th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. The fort has a compact layout, reasonable space utilization, exquisite carvings on beams and windows, and the painting, wood carving and stone carving techniques are full of local characteristics, integrating Hui style architecture with southern Fujian elements.

Today is a day to remember. I went to Liubandeng in Shaxian Snack Culture City for breakfast and had loach rice noodles with red yeast rice and pickled vegetables. It was sour and spicy and quite delicious. I also ordered black rice, which was hard and salty, just the way I like it, so I finished it all. I was a bit greedy and ordered a portion of grass jelly, which had a minty taste but was too sweet. A hearty breakfast was necessary because I had to drive nearly 300 km to Changting to see the Hakka capital of Tingzhou Ancient City. I stopped at Shuimei Castle in Shaxian County along the way. It is a national cultural heritage site and is not commercialized, so there are few visitors. The castle is also a Hakka walled house, but it is more unique and distinctive. The second stop was Peitian Ancient Village, which is also a Hakka village. Interestingly, the houses here are not walled houses. They have upturned eaves, blue bricks, and flying eaves similar to those of Quanzhou dwellings, but with more rustic colors. Peitian is a quiet village, and the plum blossoms were already in bloom. I continued along X661 to Yunlong Bridge. The mountain road was difficult to drive, and the villages along the roadside were not very distinctive, just ordinary rural villages. Yunlong Bridge is a covered bridge with a Mazu Temple, ancient trees, and an open space next to it, resembling a dragon crossing the river. After taking photos, I navigated directly to the hotel I had booked in Changting. The navigation showed 68 km and an estimated time of 2 hours, so I followed it without thinking much. Oh, I was exhausted from driving. I crossed three mountains, went through a tunnel, and the road was bad, with either broken roadbeds or road construction. There were not many cars on the road, but there were many S-bends and hairpin bends. It took me more than 2 hours to get there. However, I enjoyed the journey. The mountain scenery was beautiful, with exposed rocks and beautiful mountain shapes. There was only green trees and yellow grass along the way, and I was happy to see the rocks on the mountain tops. There were two terraced field viewing platforms along the way, and I stopped to take a look. At this time of year, the terraced fields only had harvested rice, which was not very attractive. After parking the car, I went to find food. I hadn't eaten lunch, so I went to a Hakka restaurant called Zuichunfeng and ordered pickled pork kidney, salted chicken, and stir-fried mustard greens. The taste was light and quite delicious. The ancient city attractions can be visited at night. I climbed Jichuan Gate to see the night view and visited Wolong Academy. I walked 14,000 steps today.

Must visit

Traditional Bai wooden houses have no windows on the outer side and gable walls, which are made of thick rammed earth. Only the side facing the courtyard has wooden doors and windows. Someone once said: Old houses are good, warm in winter and cool in summer. From the perspective of building energy conservation, a room has six sides. The tile roof and wooden doors and windows facing the courtyard of traditional Bai buildings must be properly treated to meet energy conservation requirements. Traditional wooden doors and windows cannot be airtight, and the tile roof is leaky and drafty. In winter, the hot air rises and escapes, and the room cannot be heated. Traditional old houses can only rely on electric blankets to maintain the temperature of the bed. We originally wanted to preserve the wooden structure of the Bai courtyard and chose aluminum-wood composite or pure wood window systems. However, our courtyard is in the core protection area, and cranes cannot enter to install the door and window systems weighing several tons. We had to choose broken bridge aluminum alloy + double glazing to ensure thermal insulation and soundproofing, but the facade is still a bit regrettable. After the wall and roof insulation was completed, we chose central air conditioning with good heating effect, and finally transformed the old house into a warm winter and cool summer house, and no electric blankets are needed in winter!

Hey guys 👋, today I'm going to share my experience of visiting Shaxi Ancient Town in Dali, Yunnan 🥰 Shaxi Ancient Town is like a "mild" version of Suhe Ancient Town. When I went there, it was probably the off-season, so there weren't many tourists. But this didn't affect the charm of the ancient town at all, instead, it added a sense of tranquility and leisure 😌. As soon as I stepped into the ancient town, the strong autumn atmosphere hit me 🍁. This place is the filming location for several TV dramas, so even in the off-season, you can see many "good men and women" coming to check in 📷. I have to say, under the sunset, every corner of the ancient town seems to be born for taking beautiful photos 💕. I saw many professional photographers with their "long guns and short cannons", guiding beautiful women to pose in various poses in the light and shadow, the scene was really beautiful 😍. Strolling along the small roads of the ancient town, there is a small river at the end. By the river, I was attracted by the singing of a wandering singer 🎶. She was singing "Yu Xiang", and her singing was really touching. She sang devotedly, and I just stood there quietly listening, the golden sunset shining on us, like a sound painting 🖼️, the feeling was really wonderful~ I also went to the Shibao Mountain Grottoes, which didn't leave a particularly deep impression on me, but the old man at the entrance of the grottoes was particularly interesting 😉. He was playing the sanxian happily, and it is said that this is the "pick-up tool" of the Bai people 🤣. The old man told me that the Bai people hold a three-day singing contest here every July, and this year's has already ended. I even joked with him, asking if he lost in this year's singing contest, so now he is practicing, preparing to fight again next year 😄. Oh, and I also saw the statues of the Eight Vajras. The last photo is it, do you think there's anything awkward about it 🧐? Shaxi Ancient Town is really a place suitable for slow travel. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the tranquility and beauty of the ancient town. Without the bustling crowds, you can enjoy every scenery and feel every bit of autumn. Every alley, every ancient building, seems to be telling the story of the ancient town. The ancient town under the sunset is as beautiful as a poem. Every change of light and shadow is like nature putting makeup on the ancient town, showing different beauty at different times. You can find a small shop, sit down and taste the local specialties, or buy some handicrafts as souvenirs. Guys, if you want to find a quiet and charming place to travel, Shaxi Ancient Town is definitely a good choice 😘. Here, you can enjoy leisurely time, take many beautiful photos, and experience unique ethnic culture. Come to Shaxi Ancient Town and check in~ 🥳

This is the best Chongqing hotpot I have ever eaten in Sanming. The shop is simple and unpretentious, and the proprietress is very beautiful. She is a real Chongqing person. 🐮🦆 Since it is Chongqing hotpot, you have to eat the "offal" hotpot: the tripe that is up and down is fresh, crispy, chewy and easy to chew. The duck intestines that were blanched for 30 seconds were also very crispy. The duck🩸 is cooked for a long time without being overcooked, and it is delicious when dipped in dried chili👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻It’s not that I don’t dare to order it, but there are too few delicious ingredients these days😭 🖊️ By the way, their spicy pot is added with Chongqing Eagle Tea, which is shipped from Chongqing and adjusted to an acceptable spicy mode. The fragrance is not lost at all, "the level of deliciousness is enough to dip the soles of shoes". There are also many carefully prepared dipping sauces, including roasted pepper sauce, chili powder, and Sichuan pepper powder. You can eat one every time👍🏻 🥩 Beef is also a must-have for hot pot. Fresh-cut broccoli = tender and fragrant, fresh pepper beef = tender and fresh, spicy fresh pig tongue = crispy and spicy. 🔥 There is also the special fish, which has more meat and less bones. The more you chew the bubble dried tofu, the more fragrant it becomes. The old tofu is cooked into a honeycomb shape, which is hot in the mouth and warms the body... The seemingly ordinary ingredients taste so delicious in this restaurant, and the vegetables are also sweet and fresh, 666. 👍🏻 It’s been a long time since I’ve had such delicious hotpot!

Shaxian Inn, Mountain Sparrow Inn|||We stayed at Mountain Sparrow Inn in Dongmen Ancient Street, Shaxian, on the recommendation of a friend. Before we even arrived in Shaxian, the lovely lady at the front desk of Mountain Sparrow called to ask about parking and other matters, and added me on WeChat. So thoughtful. Friends from out of town can park their cars in the playground behind the inn, which is very convenient and free. Mountain Sparrow Inn is located in the center of Dongmen Ancient Street, Shaxian. The entrance is right on Dongmen Ancient Street, which has become a must-see for tourists from out of town. The ancient street has everything you could want to eat, play, and photograph. The inn is about 100 meters across the street from the Shaxi River, where you can enjoy the ever-changing light show and water curtain movie at night. From the inn, walk about 300 meters along Binhe Road to the city center of Shaxian, where many famous traditional Shaxian snacks are located near Chiwei Lane, such as Liji Snacks. The snack stalls in Chiwei Lane offer dozens of unique and authentic Shaxian snacks such as shumai, taro dumplings, dried tofu, and rice jelly, which you can enjoy to your heart's content. In the afternoon, we walked to Qu Lane No. 1 Teahouse for afternoon tea; in the evening, we went to Half Acre of Flower Field for Western food; at dusk, we walked to the other side of the river and walked the plank road and glass plank road, where we could see the beautiful Shaxi River and the beautiful night view of Shaxi. Mountain Sparrow Inn is a renovation of two large ancient houses that are decades old, with a perfect blend of classical and modern styles. The rooms have modern smart bathrooms, which are really nice to use. The rooms are very spacious and not at all oppressive. Mountain Sparrow also prepared afternoon tea and fresh fruit for us; breakfast was also very rich, with eggs, sweet potato porridge, soy milk, fruit, etc. The short two-day trip to Shaxian went by in a flash. When I have time, I will come back to Shaxian and stay at Mountain Sparrow Inn again. Because of love, so love. Shaxian, wait for me to come back; Mountain Sparrow, see you again! Shaxian Snacks

Shaxian wontons, originally called Shaxian dumplings, are also known as Shaxian noodles. According to historical records, wontons were already being made in Shaxian during the Tang dynasty. At the first Shaxian Snack Festival in 1997, Miaomen Wontons were awarded the title of "Famous Chinese Snack." This was the first product in Shaxian's history to be given the title of "Chinese"! Miaomen Wontons have been passed down through four generations and have a history of over 30 years. The main store on Jianguo Road serves wontons with thin skins and tender meat, in a clear and fresh broth. The semi-transparent skins reveal a hint of pink, with a sprinkling of green scallions, and the steaming hot dish is full of flavor. The shop's fried sauce noodles are made with homemade cowpea and minced meat, chewy noodles, and scallion oil. Add a plate of duck gizzards, duck hearts, duck liver, and marinated eggs, drizzled with old marinade, for a satisfying meal.

This hotel just opened at the beginning of this year. I have stayed in other places before, also in Huazhu hotels, which are basically all-season hotels. The whole season is finally open in Sanming! We arrived at the hotel at around 3pm that day. The parking lot is next to the hotel and parking is free, which is super convenient. There was a tall and handsome boy at the front desk who helped me with my luggage. The girl at the front desk also greeted me warmly and arranged a room for me in advance. The service was really good. Warm tip: The hotel's laundry room is on the 5th floor and is also equipped with a dryer and washing machine. The washing machine is very smart, there is no need to add laundry detergent and disinfectant, the washing machine will add it automatically. Next door is the gym and breakfast room. I booked a room with a view. You can see the sunrise from the other side of the river. It's so beautiful. The night view is even more amazing. It’s not too comfortable to sit by the window and make tea at night. Speaking of breakfast, I really have to say that the breakfast in Jiji is really rich. The buffet has all kinds of Chinese and Western food, including porridge, steamed buns, fruits, stir-fried vegetables, snacks, pastries, etc., which is not inferior to the 88 yuan per person breakfast in other hotels. There is also a self-service water station in the lobby with coffee, lemonade, and tea, which is really thoughtful. The staff in the lobby will also take the initiative to help pour tea and introduce how to use the coffee machine, which is really considerate. There are many exhibits in the lobby, which are really beautiful, and the fragrance is super nice. This is currently the best all-season experience I have ever lived in. Come and experience it!

[East Gate Ancient Street] is a street with a long history, witnessing the changes of Sha County and carrying the urban memory of the locals. It is located on the east side of Sha County, Sanming City, along the edge of the Shaxi River, and faces the Qifeng Diecui Scenic Area across the river. East Gate Ancient Street is the oldest block in Sha County, and it still maintains the pattern of two roads and nine lanes. There are 2 provincial cultural relics protection units, 15 immovable cultural relics, and 31 historical buildings, including the largest and well-preserved Ming Dynasty Chenghuang Temple in the southeast coast and Baoyan Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. After more than two years of active protection and renovation, East Gate Ancient Street has regained its vitality. The renovated ancient street retains the ancient buildings, and at the same time introduces new elements full of Sha County characteristics, such as original handmade, popular tea drinks, trendy flower shops, etc., and various local snacks, such as board duck, charcoal boiled grass jelly, tofu balls, etc. The renovation of the ancient street not only focuses on "appearance", but also closely related to the lives of residents. The strong and weak power lines, rain and sewage pipe networks, tap water, etc. have been re-planned and designed to improve the quality of life of residents. During the renovation of East Gate Ancient Street, the concept of "repairing the old as the old" was adhered to. According to the actual damage of the houses, three methods of "weaving", "repairing" and "facade renovation" were adopted to strive to maintain the original historical appearance to the greatest extent. The renovation of the ancient street not only improved the "appearance" of the block, but also injected new formats, such as culture, tourism, commerce, leisure and other multi-complex functions, and planned to introduce young well-known brands, Sha County's local specialty products, and tourism products for sale. In addition, East Gate Ancient Street also pays attention to cultural display. Through the carefully built theme cultural display area, the past glory of Sha County is re-presented to tourists. For example, the "Humanities Shayi Talents" relief corridor records the outstanding representatives of Sha County from the Tang Dynasty to modern times, the "East Gate Historical Building Cultural Corridor" displays the section map silhouette of the classic buildings on the ancient street, and the Sha County Red Memory Cultural Wall reproduces the grand scene of the 1934 Sha County City Battle. The renovation and protection work of East Gate Ancient Street not only rejuvenates the ancient street, but also becomes a new signboard for Sha County's cultural tourism, attracting many tourists to experience and explore. Sha County East Gate Ancient Street

Dongmen Ancient Street is a must-visit place for people in Sanming who love to drink tea or tea beverages. The street is full of such shops, most of which are converted from old Chinese-style houses, such as this one. 🏯 I came here to check in, and it meets the expectations of many people for a teahouse. There are seats in the hall, as well as an outdoor courtyard and private rooms (with a minimum consumption), which are antique. The large tea table can be used to brew traditional Kung Fu tea, and brushes are also provided. Rice paper can be used for practicing calligraphy and copying scriptures. It matches the guqin in the courtyard. It can be described as "elegant and interesting" → It really fits. The shop owner said that on rainy days, you can watch the water falling from the eaves, which must be very artistic. 🍵 I tasted a cup of Shaxian's [Red Edge Tea], which has the flavor of Wuyi Rock Tea and the oolong flavor of Minnan Tea. It feels like drinking a short-legged oolong. It can be brewed for more than seven times and has a rich flavor. You are also allowed to bring your own tea and pay some tea fees, which is quite humane❗ 🌸 【Oolong Peach Ice Cream】Three scoops of ice cream were given, which was quite generous, and served with some Hami melon diced fruit, which was delicious📸 🍡 In addition to tea, there are also juice, tea jelly, Chinese fruit, ice cream, coffee... There are many choices. Come and enjoy a wonderful afternoon tea with your sisters👭, and you don’t have to worry about satisfying everyone🙊
