Once again, I find myself at Tanghe

It has been a dwelling place for humans since 2000 years ago, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, relying on the advantages of the water and land docks, it formed a bustling scene with endless streams of boats and horses, and merchants like clouds, earning it the nickname 'Little Mountain City'. Walking on the old streets of Tanghe once more, one often feels as if time has frozen, as if transported through time and space, as if returning to the Liangshan Marsh described by Shi Nai'an, where those fluttering banners always carry a bold and majestic aura. Many years ago, a day in the ancient town of Tanghe began like this: the chants of the Sichuan river trackers would awaken the ancient town nestled in the embrace of the river, the light inside the red lanterns would gradually extinguish, and on the wet bluestone slabs, the busy footsteps of people would start to hustle, and in the morning, those beautiful women, heavy goods, and the masts of the docks. The bells on the necks of the rice-carrying mules in the taverns made the time in an ancient town seem distant yet intimate... Tanghe ancient town, with its simple and vigorous charm, its brilliant ancient architectural culture, its unpretentious folk customs, and its picturesque Tanghe scenery, reveals everywhere the authentic essence of a Bayu ancient town. Therefore, it has also become the best base for many crews to shoot films and TV works about old Chongqing, with over 80 productions filmed here, such as 'Red Memories', 'Paper Drunkenness', 'Fog City', 'Hometown', 'Mother, Mother', 'Women of Luolong Town', 'Happy Photo Studio', and so on!
