The Town of Hwang Long Xi




We visited the town of Huang Long Xi  which is 50km away from Chengdu, China.  The town dates back 2000 years. Now seven ancient streets, which were built during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, are well preserved. They are all paved with stone slabs, and the porch columns on both sides are lined up in an orderly way. This is a street view in the town.
 




They are interesting columns.




An old lady making a basket.



"One noodle shop" is making one long noodle.



The customers are eating the one noodle dish!



The river running through the town



The lady is rolling silk/cotton like candy and coating it with sweet soy bean flour.




Jay loved it!



They are making candy.



 It was a nice outing and was as if we went back in time!
