Chapter 998 Ghost Town
At this moment, many things in the ghost town were preserved and slowly deposited over hundreds or thousands of years.
Due to water conservancy projects, all counties along the Yangtze River in Yuzhou have been relocated in recent years, moving from the riverside to the high places, and new cities are in full swing.
The purpose of relocation of the ghost town is different from other places, it is to move to the other side of the Yangtze River.
The current old county town is less than one square kilometer in radius, with 50,000 residents. They are guarding the foot of the famous mountain. By next year, they will only be able to look here on the other side.
Everything here, including many historical relics, will no longer exist. This is also the same fate as the old landscapes of all old counties and towns from the ghost town to Wushan.
Starting next year, large-scale construction will begin on famous mountains, with the purpose of renovating the ghost town culture and better bringing tourists an experience.
Then, many of the original old things were gone and replaced by new buildings. Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism were randomly stuffed together, and fewer and fewer people came, and the tourist holy places were in a slump.
Quite Chinese, typical official thinking.
I don’t know who gave them confidence. A bunch of bricks and cement can make a few rough images of people across the country give them money.
Their business thinking is to keep increasing prices and make efforts to get the merchants coming in to operate. The others have nothing to do with them. It's just so magical.
In the past ten years, this is a trend that has spread across the country, destroying a large number of them, building a large number of them, and pouring a large number of them.
It seems that when it comes to tourism development, it means demolition and reconstruction, building a few temples, building some tall houses, and then building a highway, and you can sit down and collect tickets. If you collect less, it will not work. You have to work hard to get higher.
As for the original landscape, historical monuments, cultural connotations, scenery, services, and experience, there is no need to consider it. Is it necessary?
"If you have a reputation, take photos and advertise them, someone will come. The country is so big and there are so many people. You don't need to consider those things, just publicity. We don't need repeat customers."
A famous quote from the top leader of a tourist town.
...
More than 100 Zhuang Wen and his team walked around the mountain for less than two hours before returning one after another.
It’s just a mountain, and there are not many places to visit. If you don’t climb the mountain, it won’t take long. The main thing is to see what’s new.
The captain left the dock and set off on the road again.
When we arrived at Shibaozhai, even fewer people got off the boat. The main building above was facing the Yangtze River, and the boat was covered with slim views.
The territory here is not as famous as a mountain, and everyone came back in less than an hour.
The Yangtze River turned several urgent bays in this section, and the shore was already a bit like a steep mountain. After passing Wanxian, the river flowed to the northeast and turned eastward and began to enter the Three Gorges range.
No one was interested in Zhang Fei Temple, mainly because he was a little far from the riverside, so the cruise ship drove directly over and arrived at Baidi City, Kuizhou.
In Baidi City, there are more people getting off the boat, and it is so famous here. Everyone found ten yuan to take photos, and they felt a little stupid.
Kuizhou Kuimen is the picture behind ten yuan, and the angle is taken from Baidi City.
This legendary Kuimen, which was stepped on by Kui beast, is the gateway to the Three Gorges. After passing Kuimen, it is Qutang Gorge. The landscape of the Three Gorges begins here.
The cliffs on both sides are thousands of feet high, and a river flows through the gorge, making a dangerous and amazing natural landscape.
"I really don't believe it if it's natural, but if you say it was split by Dayu, I feel a little sorry for your IQ." Zhang Yanhui leaned against the railing and looked up at the steep cliffs on both sides of the shore and the sky.
"If it was formed naturally, it was not easy. Water broke such a hard mountain and flowed out of such a deep river. With this skill, I had already walked along the flat soft place. Where did I have to do with the stone here?"
"The water comes through the mountains, and it passes through the mountains here, so it is called a gorge. It is indeed a bit illogical. It should walk along the mountains to the end, and then walk through the mountains when there is no place to go, and then pass through the mountains. This half of it comes over."
"Are you interesting? How did you know that they haven't finished it? This section is the softest place in the mountain. The disadvantage is that it slowly pushes the place open. How big was the water at that time?"
"I always feel that this myth is not necessarily imagined, it must be based on some basis. What kind of height and strength people at that time looked like, could fly and how powerful they could fly?"
"If I don't argue with you, it's easy to talk about the origin of human beings. It's good to live, live a good life. What's the point of those ozone layers? If there is, there is, if there is no, there is nothing. Anyway, that's it now."
"The meaning of human beings' living is thinking and exploration. Do you understand?" Zhang Yanhui and Zhang Yanjun got into trouble.
"What to explore?" Zhang Yanjun glanced at Zhang Yanhui: "Who can see the past or see the future? Isn't it all a random make-up. The common people call it random thoughts, and the status editor is exploration."
"It's extreme, where does history come from without exploring or studying?"
"The books are from ancient books, guess from above. How many historical, human, food, clothing, housing and transportation are real? Don't they all rely on imagination to guess? Even if there are so many historical and archaeological documents left behind? Is it meaningful?"
Zhang Yanhui took out the cigarette and dispersed it, and smiled and said to Zhang Yanming: "The boss can do it now, and he can even compete with such a good level."
"You two, don't get involved with me, I'll just listen." Zhang Yanming quickly made his position.
Everyone talked and joking all the way and enjoyed the scenery and arrived at Wushan.
This is a big station, and the boat must be stopped here for a whole day, and then change the boat and enter the Daning River.
The old county towns in Wushan, including the villages and towns in the Daning River, are all preparing to relocate, and all the old towns will be flooded underwater, saving even the demolition. Unlike the ghost town, only a part of them will be flooded.
There is only one central street in the old county town, full of old buildings, and it is quite lively. This is not the first time Zhang Yanming has seen the old county town, but it is the first time he has walked in.
Old, crowded, lively.
There are too many tourists here. In the past two years, I have been promoting the trip to Sanxia for the last time. It seems that Sanxia is about to disappear, and people across the country are running here.
There were all kinds of cruise ships of all sizes parked on the pier, and people with various accents walked on the streets to find something they were interested in.
Looking up from the old city, there are large construction sites on the hillside about one kilometer away from the river bank.
It spans two kilometers north and south, extending two kilometers to the mountains above. New buildings rise up one by one, various facilities are under construction, roads are also under construction, and curve along the hillside.
Zhang Yanming really wanted to go up and take a look, but it was unrealistic. He had the memory of living in the upper city for several years, which was strange and profound.
Compared with Wushan's fame, this place is actually quite blocked now, with inconvenient transportation and poor information. Everything is in a relatively traditional way.
Apart from taking a boat, it is not easy to come here. The only blessing is that it is famous enough and has a large number of tourists, which has brought relatively stable economic income to it. Tourism is a considerable source of economic income here at this moment.
Like other tourist areas in China, everything is expensive here and it is not rude to kill. Every kind face has a delicate heart.
In fact, the prices here were originally high.
When transportation is underdeveloped, the economy expands outward layer by layer with large cities as the center, and the higher the price, the higher the price, and remote areas are several times more expensive than the center of large cities.
The more inconvenient the transportation, the more obvious the difference.
