Longnan, Gansu
⭐️ The southernmost city of Gansu—Longnan. It is often referred to as "Jiangnan on the Loess Plateau." From Guangyuan to Longnan, one crosses from Sichuan into Gansu, and the terrain undergoes a noticeable change. Due to its proximity to the Qinling Mountains, the area is not only graceful but also carries the grandeur and desolation of the northwest.
⭐️ The Jiezhou night market and morning market are very delicious, a dazzling treasure trove of food streets. At night, there are barbecues, clay pot dishes, milk egg fermented rice soup, fried pancakes, spicy hot pot... and in the morning, there are stirred mung bean jelly, cold skin noodles, roujiamo... There are so many delicious foods that one cannot finish them all, the prices are not expensive, the portions are generous, and there are few tourists, mostly locals eating.
⭐️ After visiting the night market, you can go to the riverside to see the night view. The Bailong River covered bridge is very photogenic at night, and there is also a riverside park where many people take walks. If you want to overlook the entire city, you can go to Wudu Nanshan Park.
⭐️ The "Longnan City Museum" seems to have just opened recently, open from Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00 (entry stops at 16:30, closed on Mondays). You can enter with your ID card, there are few people, but it is very worthwhile to visit, especially the first exhibition hall where you can take your time. There are also several interactive mini-games, and the Longnan City Museum's cultural relics matching game is very fun.
ADELAIDE RILEY
The only southern city in Gansu (Longnan)
Just after experiencing the drag of the Baiyin Museum, I originally had no hope for Longnan. After reading the introduction, I found that it was a new museum opened in June this year. I thought I would give it a chance. Anyway, I came here. I didn't expect to find it really great after watching it. There are history and stories, rich cultural relics and hard goods, clear and smooth exhibition layout, high-end hardware facilities, a kind of light source directly from the roof, and then through the top of the display cabinet. The material shines on the cultural relics, the effect is very good and more conducive to the protection of cultural relics, I saw it for the first time
The tour route is very clear, there is a rubbing exhibition on the first floor, which is relatively small, and the key cultural relics of the museum are directly introduced through the exhibition board at the atrium, clearly telling what are the first-level cultural relics, what are the second-level, and what are the third-level, and attached pictures The main exhibition halls are all on the second floor, divided into two halls and seven units, from ancient times to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the video commentary is very in place
Let's talk about the personal feeling that is more interesting First of all, we need to clarify the geographical location of Longnan, located at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, geographically south of the Qinling Mountains, and hydrologically belongs to the Yangtze River system. This is a thorough southern city and the only southern city in Gansu I arrived in Longnan in mid-December, when there was a large-scale cooling in the northern region, the lowest temperature in Lanzhou was already minus fifteen degrees, and here it was only minus two or three degrees
The famous historical event of the Empty City Plan took place here☞The "West City" of Changdao, Xihe County, Longnan City. And Zhuge Liang's well-known six outings of Qishan, the history book records only two times, the saying of "six outings of Qishan" only appears in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
This land also appeared a very tenacious regime during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties☞Chouchi Country, at its peak, it occupied Hanzhong, Shaanxi and the border of Sichuan, and resisted more than 20 local regimes in the Central Plains for more than 380 years
And in the Song Dynasty, the Longnan area was one of the main battlefields where the Song and Jin countries fought. The great victory of the Xianren Pass, where the war god Wu Jie became a god, took place here. Since then, not only did Jin Wuzhu "never dare to peep into the land of Shu" for the rest of his life, but also recovered most of the land in Shaanxi in one fell swoop, established the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty over the land of Shu, and also cut off the idea of the Jin people entering Sichuan from Shaanxi
I told a lot of stories, as for the treasures of the town hall, they are the three pieces in Figures 1-5. Personally, I think that the big treasure sword of the willow leaf is the most handsome, with smooth and simple lines, finely carved at the handle of the sword, and very well preserved
As for the others, wait for you to discover it yourself, it's a museum worth seeing, don't miss it if you pass by
