Heijing Ancient Town A town that was thriving and declining due to salt has been closed for nearly two thousand years in the Longchuan River Valley of Lufeng County, Yunnan Province. It is rumored that the girl Azhao found the brine spring because of the "black Niuze Salt", and the ancestors began to pick up brine salt, and the black well salt industry reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The local pure hand workshop produced more than 5,000 tons of black salt per year, the first of nine ancient salt wells such as Yunlong Nuodeng, Dayao Shiyang, Jianchuan Mijing. The salt tax revenue was close to half of Yunnan's total tax burden, and it became the economic town of Yuzhong in the "rich and enemy provinces" at that time. With the development of the times, the large-scale industrial production method has lost the practical value of the original ancient legal salt process, and the town has also fallen due to salt, and has become a "lost salt capital". Today's black well, I can't feel the grand scenery of the "Yanxi", but a large number of houses, zongxuan, archways, and temples are still in the style and charm. Walking in the red sand and stone streets, the rough touch seems to be telling the world about the glory and prosperity of the past. The only thing that remains unchanged is the small river that goes around the city, and the trickle will always soothe the hearts of the passengers from south to north...

Heijing Ancient Town is located in the "dinosaur town" of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and has been a place of Gong salt since ancient times. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, a small town that has been closed in the Longchuan River Valley for almost a century, and is one of the four ancient towns in Yunnan. Heijing still retains a relatively complete traditional urban pattern, with 21 cultural relics protection units, which are famous cultural relics in Lufeng County and even Chuxiong Prefecture. After thousands of years, the ancient town is still in style, with clear historical veins and distinctive characteristics. "Yancheng" has long lost its former glory, but left an antique Tang and Song style Fangxiang, quite Ming and Qing style houses, monuments, stone carvings, ancient towers, stone archaeological, ancient stage, as well as ancient temples, ancient salt wells, boiled salt stoves, etc. Especially the well-preserved Wujia compound in and outside the province, which is a typical of the Ming and Qing architecture, attracted many tourists at home and abroad.
A small town can be visited in about half an hour. Fortunately, it has not been overly commercialized, and some locals can still see the real life state. The houses in the town are in the form of a traditional Indian residence on a smaller scale.
Heijing Ancient Town has a long history, famous for its rich Gongyan salt, and is one of the four ancient towns in Yunnan. Previously, the pickled Xuanwei Ham was not black well salt, ancient salt square. Yanyuan Valley. Confucian Temple. Dalongxuan (the plaque of the emperor's inscription, the gold word inscribed in the lower left corner was stolen) Wenbi Tower, Feilai Temple, the mansion Wujia Courtyard...all show the glory of the past, but unfortunately it is too late to visit all [tears].
The ancient town of Heijing still retains the original flavor of the ancient town, and also bought a bunch of well salts to go home, a place worth visiting. As a scenic spot, the prices here are not high, I recommend everyone to stay here for a few more days in a daze.
