Regarding Rongchang, for many people in Chongqing, the pork and goose here are delicious! In fact, the tourism in Rongchang is also quite good. This time, I came to Rongchang and found a different Rongchang.

Everything has a spirit - Wanling Ancient Town

When I first met Wanling Ancient Town, the first impression it gave me was that I felt like I was transported back to the alleys of my childhood. Everything is so 'comfortable'.

Walking on the streets of Wanling Ancient Town, stepping on this bluestone road. All of a sudden, it took me back to my childhood grandmother's house. Although for some reason there were fewer cries of sale on the streets, it added a touch of mystery to Wanling Ancient Town.

Wanling Ancient Town is a very spiritual ancient town. As the ancient saying goes, wherever there is water, there is spiritual energy. The Laixi River is right next to Wanling Ancient Town, giving it a unique spiritual energy.

Wanling Ancient Town has a long history. During the Song and Ming dynasties, some shops were naturally built here for merchants to rest, stay, and store goods, formerly known as water docks. Strolling through the ancient town of Wanling, all you see are the shadows left by time. Time will make houses old, make people grow old, and fill Wanling Ancient Town with stories.

Despite the changes of the times, Wanling Ancient Town remains unchanged. It will continue to write its legend. The once bustling traffic may no longer exist, but the freedom of "all things have spirits" in Wanling Ancient Town remains

The pottery here is not simple - Antao Town

Rongchang's pottery is also remarkable. Rongchang pottery, Yixing purple clay pottery in Jiangsu, Jianshui pottery in Yunnan, and Nixing pottery in Qinzhou, Guangxi are among the four famous types of pottery in China. As a person from Chongqing, I didn't know about this. After learning about Rong Changtao, I not only want to praise his low-key style. To come to Rongchang, one must experience pottery culture and come to Antao Town.

When I arrived in Antao Town, I was immediately attracted by this tourist center. Whether it's the appearance or the interior, you can feel the pottery culture.

There is an ancient street in Antao Town - Taobao Ancient Street. As soon as I heard this name, I felt like it might be related to 'Mr. Ma'. Actually not. Although this ancient street is not long, it has a unique feeling.

Taobao Ancient Street is different from Wanling Ancient Town. How to put it? In Taobao Ancient Street, the modern atmosphere is even stronger. Let history and the present blend together more perfectly.

You can really "Taobao" on Taobao Ancient Street. Find one or two suitable pottery pieces and decorate them at home. That's not beautiful, it's wonderful!

When you arrive in Antao Town, it is worth mentioning the Rongchang Pottery Museum.

The Rongchang Pottery Museum gathers many distinctive pottery pieces from Rongchang pottery. I won't introduce them one by one here.

Pottery is a craft that requires patience and attention to detail. Seeing this writer and artist, I can't help but admire them. Anyway, it's impossible for me to sit here and work on pottery properly.

Speaking of Rongchang pottery, I also want to talk about these folk pottery making workshops! Although they make the most simple pottery and the things they produce are not so exquisite, I admire them even more.

They should be considered as truly skilled craftsmen. I have relied on my skills for my entire life. This uncle told me that he has been making pottery jars for almost thirty years, and now this craft is about to be lost. Young people nowadays have not come to learn this craft.

When I saw him turning a lump of mud onto the turning tool and using his own hands to make the bottom of a vat, I still felt a slight shock.

National Intangible Cultural Heritage List - Rongchang Xiabu

In China, there is a type of fabric called summer cloth. Among Xia Bu, Rongchang Xia Bu is quite famous. Rongchang summer cloth is named after its gentle texture that surpasses silk, providing a refreshing summer retreat and making it an excellent choice for summer clothing. Wearing it on the body is really super comfortable and very breathable.

To get to know Rongchang Xiabu, you must go to Xiabu Town.

There is a museum in Xiabu Town.
In the museum, you can learn about what hemp looks like, because the raw material for summer cloth is ramie, which is processed into ramie cloth through traditional manual techniques such as yarn spinning and textile processing.

In the museum, you can also learn about the history of Xiabu, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. The tools made, wait!!

Although Xiabu is not very popular around us, it is really comfortable to wear in summer and super breathable.

Experience a Different Countryside - Blueberry Picking

In my impression, Rongchang does not produce any fruits. But this time, it made me feel the joy of picking blueberries.

At the blueberry base in Rongchang, I truly enjoyed the joy of eating blueberries freely. Pick directly from the tree and bite directly. It tastes a hundred times better than a fruit shop.

Rongchang Pig - Pig Culture Corridor

It has to be said that Rongchang has also done a very good job in urban construction. When you come to Rongchang, you must go to Rongchang's Pig Culture Corridor.

The Pig Culture Corridor is similar to Binjiang Road in the city. It is a great place for people to relax after meals. Built on the banks of Rongfeng River, the mother river of Rongchang.

After walking the whole journey, I feel that Rongchang is really clean and tidy.

Bamboo Expo Garden - Baizhu Garden

A bamboo garden was built in Rongchang. Although bamboo gardens are not uncommon, have you ever seen a hundred types of bamboo?

In the Hundred Bamboo Garden in Rongchang, you can see hundreds of different types of bamboo, big and small, which has really taught me a lot.

Baizhu Garden is also a very leisurely place. If it weren't for a slight surge, the scenery here would really be quite beautiful.

Reproduction of Classics - Eight Scenic Gardens

Bajing Garden is a somewhat regrettable place. Why do you say that? Bajing Garden, as the name suggests, has eight scenic spots. But these eight scenic spots are not the original scenery, they are the eight scenic spots in Rongchang that have been destroyed due to historical reasons. After seeing these eight scenic spots, I really feel regretful. If they still existed, it would be such a wonderful thing.

Healthy City - Rongchang

In Rongchang, a marathon race is held every year, and the track is a great place for people to run and exercise in their spare time.

Rongchang's Ma Song is an extraordinary track with colorful trails, which looks much more upscale.

I also saw a small Chongqing around the trail. Just like Chongqing Chaotianmen Port, you can see that half of the river water is red and the other half is green.

Rongchang also has many delicious foods and beautiful scenery. The two-day itinerary was too short and I didn't discover it properly. But Rongchang did leave a very deep impression on me. Rongchang is the ceramic capital of western China, a city of sports and health, a city of intangible cultural heritage experience, a city of food and leisure
