Features: Ancient green stone steps, gnarled yellow cypress trees, and residences with blue tiles and white walls—this is the charm of the Sichuan-Guizhou ancient towns. These ancient buildings surrounded by mountains and rivers convey many messages of local affection. This seemingly tranquil scene hides a unique village space enclosed by wood and stone, with peaceful halls in courtyard homes and eaves that seem to long for flight, telling stories of time passing. Turning the corner of the winding cobblestone street, you see rows of dark-tiled roofs and red eaves, carrying the glory of civilization. Through the dense shade of the yellow cypress trees, it seems possible to glimpse another scene: a peaceful rural atmosphere and a vibrant world, condensed into a rhythmic melody!
