Songkou has an advantageous geographical location and outstanding location. It is 50 kilometers away from Yongtai County and 120 kilometers away from Fuzhou. Songkou has a long history and was called Songyang in ancient times. As early as the Neolithic Age, there were activities of the ancient Yue ancestors. Eight sites of the Neolithic Age have been discovered. Songkou gradually formed a prosperous small market during the Southern Song Dynasty. After the town was established in the Yuan Dynasty, It has gradually become an important southwestern Yongtai town with dense population, rushing cargo ships and prosperous commercial ports. At present, there are still more than 120 magnificent and quaint ancient dwellings, as well as many mysterious drum towers, ancient castles, ancient temples, etc., which have been preserved. This ancient land conveys the prosperity and wealth of Songkou in the past and tells the vicissitudes of the ancient town. history. These ancient dwellings are dotted with dots, hidden in the mountains and rivers, and in the fields, each with its own characteristics, full of southern architectural styles of Ming and Qing Dynasties, its courtyard halls, corridor passages, building eaves, window lattice door lintels, foundation stone beams and columns are full of wood carvings , stone carvings, brick carvings, clay sculptures, murals and other ancient carving arts, the carvings are delicate, the patterns are clear and clear, and the pictures are fresh and lively. The famous ancient house in the town is the Yongtan House in Xiaban Village, which was built more than 160 years ago. According to the introduction of his descendants, Yung Tan Cuo is a collection of sixteen screens that have been passed down for six generations. All of them are carved from precious pineapple wood, and the goldsmiths in Changle were invited to gild them with gold foil. The whole house was built, which took 27 years. The sixteen wood carvings took 24 years. Echoing the ancient houses are the ancient streets in the town. The three-zhang-wide streets can vaguely see the prosperity of the past. But now, this ancient street is in decline. On both sides of the street, there are only four shops, a coffin shop, a bamboo shop, a waste collection shop and a dentist shop.
Fujian third, Fuzhou is the only historical and cultural ancient town, from Fuzhou to Yongtai, then from Yongtai Bus Station to Lukou, the first class is 7 o'clock, the last class I am 17:50, about an hour and a half, and then walk 10 minutes to the ancient town, there are many ancient houses and ancient streets, especially the famous Hexing Road, It is a check-in point for net reds, and the Folk Museum is now the visitor center, the oil tea museum, and a comprehensive cultural station. It is currently a museum in the ancient town. The history of the ancient town is introduced systematically. The whole scenic spot is very simple. There are green plum wines, Ligan and olives on the street, which are not expensive. But it is not very commercial. It is different from the famous ancient city of Dali and Lijiang. The consumption of the scenic spot is not high. No tickets are required. The area is relatively small. It can be walked in less than two hours for almost an hour. Although the weather is very hot recently, the surrounding environment is still very good.
The ancient town of Lukou has a history of thousands of years. Since the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this is an important commercial port in Fuzhou. Every day, there are a large number of merchant ships passing through Daguxi to and from Fuzhou. The current river face has changed dramatically due to natural conditions and human construction. It has lost its transportation function and cannot see any traces of the pier. If it is not through the explanation of the owner of the hotel, it will completely treat the Daqixi on the edge of the ancient town as an ordinary one. Xiaohe. The ancient town retains a large number of ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the area is large, it has been dilapidated. There are not many places to see and the attractions are very concentrated, so it can be completed soon. I like many ancient towns in Fujian very much, and even better than many more well-known ancient towns in China. One important reason is that the locals still live in the ancient town, and there are many original ecological living states. Unlike many ancient towns in China, locals do not live. They are all foreigners renting houses and running tourist products. The folk customs here are simple, and the locals I meet are happy to chat with you. There are two or three free small museums in the central area of the ancient town that show local folk customs characteristics are quite interesting and worth walking around, especially for people born after the 1980s who have not experienced rural life, and can increase knowledge.
The onion cake shop on the national road tastes very good. It is just right to eat aromatherapy on the spot. It is better than Fuzhou City. It is worth going again for spring onion cakes alone. The consumption is not good, the egg swallow is 15 yuan, two people eat, but fortunately there is no one person, the portion is large, the nine-layer cake is the dumpling, the taste is good. Some local handmade crafts are also moderately priced, which is more real than many popular scenic spots. The weather is hot, otherwise you can stroll more.
In the ancient town that has developed in recent years, people in the city can occasionally come to relieve fatigue.
