Impression of Jingzhou: Traveling through thousands of years, savoring the fusion of ancient charm and food

Jingzhou Ancient City Soaked glutinous rice with round beans (Dasaixiang store) Throughout the vast river of history, the name Jingzhou has always been closely linked to heroes and changing times. When you set foot on this land, you will feel not only the wars and battles of the Three Kingdoms, but also the poetry and romance described by Li Bai: "I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day." Today's Jingzhou is not only the Jingzhou borrowed by Liu Bei, nor is it the Jingzhou lost by Guan Yu. It is a city with profound cultural heritage and unique food flavors. Stepping into the ancient city of Jingzhou, it feels like traveling through a time tunnel and returning to the war-torn Three Kingdoms era. The ancient city wall stands tall and majestic, having gone through many vicissitudes of life but still remaining strong. It has witnessed countless historical changes and rise and fall. The city wall is divided into three layers: the outer layer is a water city, the middle layer is a brick city, and the inner layer is an earth city. This unique structure reflects the wisdom and diligence of the ancient working people. Walking along the city wall, every blue brick seems to be telling stories of the past, making people indulge in the heavy sense of history. In the ancient city, six city gates still retain their ancient appearance: the East Gate (Yingbin Gate), the North Gate (Gongji Gate), the South Gate (Nanji Gate)... Each city gate carries different historical memories. Especially the Binyang Tower, as a landmark building of the ancient city wall, although you need to buy a ticket to enter, the exhibitions and perspectives inside are enough to make people feel the magnificence and splendor of the ancient city of Jingzhou. Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire ancient city. The tranquility and historical charm intertwined together make people feel relaxed and happy. If the ancient city of Jingzhou is a witness to history, then Dasai Lane is a gathering place for Jingzhou delicacies and a paradise for foodies. Although this historic old street has gone through many changes, it still maintains its vitality. Walking in the alley, you will see all kinds of restaurants lining both sides. There are nearly 150 shops that are too numerous to take in. From local food brands to snacks from all over the world, we have everything here. The spicy duck wings of "Little Hu Duck", the crispy and sweet dwarf pie, the mellow and delicious round beans soaked in glutinous rice... every snack is unforgettable. special Here you can experience Jingsha’s unique food culture.
