The most luxurious central axis in Northern Shaanxi (Yulin)

As one of the former nine border towns, Yulin, now the second strongest economic city in Shaanxi, has a low profile and presence, and few people know that there is such a unique ancient city and old street hidden in this low-key city The former border town, after several baptisms in the storm of swords and bullets, and after ten years of movement and economic transformation, it is commendable to be able to leave the current landscape of the South Tower, North Tower, and Six Buildings on Horse Street The so-called South Tower, North Tower, and Six Buildings on Horse Street refer to the Lingxiao Tower built in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhenbei Tower known as the first tower in the world, and the two-kilometer-long old street in the city, from south to north, there are Wenchang Pavilion, Wanfo Building, Xinming Building, Bell Tower, Kaige Building, and Drum Tower. These buildings are beautifully shaped and have different styles. Except for the Bell Tower built in the Republic of China and the Drum Tower rebuilt in 2006, the rest are ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The specific situation of each building is detailed in the Yulin National Museum (Kaige Building) In addition to the ancient charm, the deepest impression this old street left me is its originality. In the early winter afternoon, it is still bustling here. The elderly are sunbathing, chatting, and playing cards here. Children are playing and racing bicycles here (a bit dangerous). Middle-aged people are buying some daily necessities here, and bargaining is endless. Although there are many shops on the whole street, the tourist atmosphere is very light. Most of the shops are for local people. There are no specialty shops in large areas, and there are no "special delicacies" that are the same in ancient cities across the country. It seems that time has not passed here, and it still follows the style of hundreds of years ago. Being in it feels like going to the market in childhood. It is not born for tourists, but presents the most real side to the world
