    很美的寨子,非常的原生态,跟酉阳苍岭镇离的比较近,是苍岭镇的向书记带我们过去的,他是个驴头,人很热情,寨子里的老阿妈给我们烧了苗家饭,整个寨子的水都是用半管竹子连接起从山上引流下来,很甜,我还喝了高粱酒,特别辣,不过很开心,喜欢跟我导师一起去的地方,全都是原生态未开发的美妙之地,现在身边没有照片,稍后能上传吗?不知道可不可行,如果可以,一定PO上来跟大家分享。 See more..

    Youyang Taohua Yuan image
    It is a famous and mysterious place in the essay by Tao Yuan Ming who is a poet lived Eastern Jin Dynasty about 365-427 AD As he wrote, a fisherman found the place by chance,and people there happy, free and hospitable. But nobody could find the place again. Sir Tao liked wine and flower, he resigned and lived in countryside to seek tranquility. Maybe the essay was wrote after drunk, so the place just like Pepperland in I guess Nowadays there are some places called 'Taohua Yuan' in china. Which is real one or it is never existence, nobody knows Fly sheet says 'there are two mysterious Peach Land all over the world, one in your mind, and the other in Youyang' But i prefer to say peachland always in ur heart. Anyway, Youyang Taohua Yuan is a beautiful place : ) See more..
  3. 4.0 Gongtan Ancient Town (5 reviews)
    - 失望至极

    从武隆县城出发,想着应该看一看这个有着1700年历史的古镇再回重庆,但整个过程实在令人失望。
    路程看起来不远,但下了高速以后要走很长的一段319,沿着乌江修筑的公路风景倒是不错,路过乌江画廊游船,但路况很差,许多隧道都没有灯,还要路过彭水县城,足足开了2个多小时才到。
    镇子居然要收门票,号称维护费,停车场曝晒。走进古镇,除了靠江以外没有任何亮点,也没什么游客。家家户户卖的东西差不多,仅有的四个入内参观景点2个门窗紧闭(号称在维修,其实根本没人管),1个土司府竟然还要买i票,当地政府这么缺钱么?这里也没什么历史感,一条街走到头再回来也就40分钟的样子,建筑也没啥特色。总的来说龚滩古镇是我到访过的最无趣的古镇了,比磁器口还差两个档次。
    当天行程中唯一令人满意的是午餐,顺着进镇的石板路往上走一点有一家可提供住宿服务的农家乐,点了几个当地菜,口味不错。回程的时候和售票的工作人员简单交流,他们似乎对于这里颇感自豪,还说生意原来越好,而我游览期间总共见到的游客不超过20人,同行的当地司机也认为这里实在没什么吸引人的地方。
    返回主城时选择了走酉阳方向,远一点,但路况好一些,先开70多公里省道再上高速,回重庆大概还要走370多公里,真的不太划算。如果你会在酉阳住宿两三天,一天游览桃花源,第二天船游乌江画廊+闲逛龚滩古镇也许是个说得过去的选择,但我认为实在没有必要专程前来养活那几个坐在那边吹牛的售票人员。
