The extreme maximum temperature in some areas can even reach 40-42 ℃, and the number of days with high temperatures exceeding 35 ℃ in most areas can reach 17-33 days!

Qijiang cuisine that must be mentioned

In terms of taste buds, China has distinct personality differences due to the different regions in the north and south. Chongqing, on the tip of the tongue, has a spicy Chongqing personality. This time, when I came to Qijiang, I had a famous all fish banquet in Qijiang, where different varieties of fish produced different flavors. The most impressive dish here is the crispy wrist fish, which is tender and chewy, with a spicy Chongqing flavor that lingers on the lips and teeth. People know how to describe life with a mixture of five flavors, because they understand that flavor is the homesickness that everyone holds in their hearts. I think the homesickness of every Qijiang person must be related to the crispy carp in their hometown.

A must try specialty food when coming to Qijiang - An'an lamb. An'an Town in Qijiang District is located in the mountainous area and is very suitable for goat growth. The lamb produced here has delicate meat and a natural fragrance. In the long-term process of raising and eating sheep, An'an people have summarized a unique set of cooking techniques for lamb, making An'an lamb famous in all directions and becoming a well-known local dish in the Qijiang area. In addition to soup pots with different flavors such as clear soup, red soup, and pickled peppers, foodies can also roast, fry, or steam lamb. After a 'lamb feast', it couldn't be any more comfortable!

Beidu fish is a traditional famous dish in Chongqing, reportedly created by fishermen along the river. After the rain, catch fish and bring them ashore. Use a quick knife to nail and remove scales from the live fish, then put them into a boiling water pot. Sprinkle a lot of chili peppers in the pot, add Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and some special seasonings to a large ladle. After cooking the fish, add vegetables, which are both nutritious and refreshing, cheap and affordable. One fish for four can be made into spicy fish, tomato fish, pickled Chinese cabbage fish and fish head soup.

The Red Gene of Qijiang

Qijiang is a city with a long history and rich culture, with a history of 1400 years of prefecture and county administration. It is the only place where the Red Army passed through Chongqing during the Long March, and General Wang Liang was born here.

The former residence of Wang Liang is arranged in a quadrangle courtyard, with one floor and one floor facing east and west, backed by Fengguan Mountain and facing Laoying Mountain. It is a typical Chuandong style building

After reading General Wang Liang's deeds, I am filled with admiration. No matter where our career develops, no matter how great our achievements are, we must vigorously promote the spirit of the Great Long March and continue to move forward courageously on the new Long March road.

Li Shuqing, a soldier, transferred the wounded to the Yougangzui cave at the foot of the mountain behind the house to hide in order to avoid being searched by warlord troops. In memory of the sacrificed Red Army soldiers, the local people changed this place to "Red Army Cave".

The road to the Red Army Cave is not usual, with undulating dirt roads and winding paths leading to this place, making it difficult to feel how to hide in such a place at that time. Thinking about our happy life now, we should thank the Red Army.

The Red Army Bridge, originally named Lianghekou Bridge, was built in the 12th year of the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi reign. The bridge is 10 meters high, 3 meters wide, and has a span of 19 meters. It is connected to the bridge deck at both ends by stone ladders.

Solid wood structure, Xieshan style blue tile roof, and perforated beam frame, named "Red Army Bridge" because it witnessed the history of the Long March of the Red Army to Qijiang.

The Long March of the Red Army, spanning over 25000 miles and crossing more than ten provinces and cities, was of great significance and milestone as it moved to Chongqing and Qijiang. Qijiang was the only transit point of the Long March of the Central Red Army in Chongqing, which defended the successful convening of the Zunyi Conference and manufactured important fighter jets for the four crossings of the Chishui River. Although it has been a long time since the Long March of the Red Army passed through Qijiang, the spirit of the Red Army has deeply penetrated people's hearts.
