Hidden from the world, Datong Town, Qionglai.

On my second visit to Datong Ancient Town, apart from the colorful buildings of "Colorful Datong", the streets of the ancient town itself also retain the original wooden buildings of western Sichuan residences, with a touch of commercial atmosphere, and the ancient town was originally designed as a two-horse road, which should have been quite prosperous in the past. There is a Taoji Restaurant in the town, which is said to be the 80th generation descendant of Tao Yuanming. Whether it is true or not, the restaurant can still fill your stomach. There is a Nanmu Tree Ecological Park in the town, which has more than a dozen Nanmu trees over 500 years old, which can barely be embraced by two adults. In addition to playing in Datong Ancient Town, the nearby caves, Shisun Mountain cliff carvings can not be missed. According to the "Lingshan Buddha Stele", there were temples in Shisun Mountain in the second year of Yonglong of Tang Gaozong (682 AD). The grottoes were excavated earlier, and the time of excavation of the cliff statues of Shisun Mountain in Datong should be around the time of Tang Gaozong. On the way to Shisun Mountain, I came across the sign of "Imperial Cypress" and "Imperial Tomb". You may not be able to imagine that this hidden rice field is closely related to Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ancient cypress tree of 1000 years, after years of baptism, silently guards the bamboo forest, which is said to be the imperial tomb of Li Yu. There is also a huge basalt stone, named "Liangong Stone", on which Li Yu left the "Yu Meiren" that has been sung for thousands of years - "Ask the gentleman how much sorrow he can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." Datong is worth immersing in, slowly feeling its historical charm.
