Hello everyone! This is located in the middle of Lijiang ancient city,called "Sifang Street". Sifang street used to be another alias, and there is alittle story about its name. Before, there was a small pavilion in the middle ofSifang street, and there was a small pool beside the pavilion. In summer, thelotus blossoms in the small pool; in autumn, the small pool is covered with redleaves, which is a good place for poets to sing wine. Because the pavilion issquare, "Fang" is homonymous with "Fang", so it is renamed "Sifang Street".
Let's see, there was no city wall in Lijiang, because the ruler's surnameat that time was "Mu". If the ancient city built walls, then "Mu" would becomethe word "trapped", which was very unlucky, so the city wall was not built.
OK! Let's go to the next scenic spot. Let's see, there are several wellsconnected together. Isn't it a bit odd. The first well is the cleanest fordrinking; the second well is the water from the first well for washingvegetables; and then it flows into the third well for washing hands. It's beenused like this for thousands of years.
Let's not scribble around. I'm finished. Let's play separately for an hourand gather here after playing.
Ladies and gentlemen, now x will take you to the next scenic spot, Lijiangancient city, which is also the most famous scenic spot in Lijiang.

Here, you will think that how can Xiao xexaggerate the name of this plateau town? In fact, it is not exaggerated by Xiaox at all. The ancient city of Lijiang is divided into three tributaries: theWest River, the middle river and the East River, and then into countlesstributaries because of the Yuquan water running through the whole city. Thereare also many longtans and springs in the city. Taking advantage of thisfavorable condition, the ancient city has a free layout of streets and no needfor neat network. The main street is next to the river, and the alleys are closeto the canals. The clear spring water flows through the street and the town, andthrough the walls and houses. The poetic flavor of "every family flows withwater, and every family hangs with Yang" is a true portrayal of the ancientcity. Although it is a small town in Yunnan Guizhou Plateau, it has thecharacteristics of Jiangnan Water Town.
