From Suining city, drive about 30 kilometers north (upstream of Fujiang River) along provincial highway 205, or drive about 15 kilometers south (basically along downstream of Fujiang River) from Shehong city, and you can reach the destination Tuopai Town. There are fine wines in Tuopai Town. Yes, this is the origin of China famous Tuopai Shede wine.
It is said to be a small town, but it is actually a big town in Shehong City and even Suining City, a top 50 town in the west and a top 1,000 town in the country. Provincial Highway 205 is the main access to the town. Walking into Tuopai Town, I feel that its built-up area is very large, but the residential business is too scattered. The town site is built on the riverside dam, about 7-8 square kilometers. As the main road, Provincial Highway 205 is wide and clean. The buildings on both sides are low stairs, but they are also clean and tidy, giving people a very comfortable feeling as a whole. With the development of economy, high-rise elevator rooms appear gradually. Of course, in some streets, you can still find the urban landscape of ordinary towns. There are not many people in the town, and they are not big, but the park is very good. Feel that the town is green and livable. It is worth mentioning that Tuopai Town is prosperous because of wine, and the factories of the famous Tuopai Shede Wine Company account for a considerable part of the town.
"Shehong Chunjiu is still cool and green, who will be hurt?" This is a famous sentence by the poet Du Fu, and the spring wine in the poem is the predecessor of Tuopai wine. Unfortunately, there are not many tourism projects about this famous wine here at present. In recent years, the local government and Tuopai Winery began to pay attention to the construction of wine cultural tourism. It's good to come to town, feel some wine culture and visit the park.
Tuopai Town certainly has other treasures besides wine. On Tongji Mountain, one kilometer southwest of the county seat, there is a famous ancient temple-Rao Yi Temple. Tongji Mountain is not high, but the mountain that suddenly emerges from the flat river dam is quite shocking. The ancient temple was built on the top of the mountain, surrounded by rich vegetation and beautiful scenery. Looking down the hill, on the left is Tuopai Town Field, and on the right is an open flat dam and fertile land on the dam. At first glance, there was a dark wave, and Fujiang rushed out of a bay there. Rao Yi Temple was founded in the orthodox period of Ming Dynasty (1443) and expanded in the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. There are three halls, a first floor, a hall, a balcony and other buildings, and the scale is grand. The main hall, the hero hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building and the Jade Emperor Building, built in the Ming Dynasty, are well preserved, and you can clearly feel the elegance of Daming. Among them, the Jade Emperor Building has a unique mural, and most of the murals are based on the list of gods. There are 68 original paintings and 37 existing ones. Buddhists give up drinking. In Tuopai town, the Millennium wine and the century-old temple actually live in harmony, and delicacies are also a kind of Zen. Rao Yi Temple is now a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Town south to Weijiaying village at the southern end of Jiangba. Tuopai Town combines the magnificent river, the fertile colors of Pingba Village and the adjacent mountains to build a local famous 4A-level tourist attraction-China Flower Sea. There are animal grand view garden, agricultural Expo garden, maze and colorful forest in China Flower Sea Scenic Area. After busy work, it is a good place for vacation and leisure.
August 2065438+2009 is a great event for Tuopai Town. The nearby town of Di Qing was integrated into the whole Tuopai town. In addition to the increase of administrative total, the tourism industry in Tuopai Town has also joined a heavyweight existence-the ancient town of Di Qing.
Di Qing ancient town, what a poetic name. In fact, Tuopai Town originally had a poetic name "Liu Shu Town", which was changed only because Tuopai Liquor was too famous, but later Tuopai Liquor was renamed Shede Liquor, which became the Longmen ridiculed by local people. Di Qing Ancient Town is located 4 kilometers northeast of Tuopai Town. Because of the barrier of Tuojiang River, we have to bypass the dam in the lower reaches of Fujiang River. However, the ancient town of Di Qing is only 0.5km away from Tianfu Town of Pengxi County, and there is an underground passage near the G93 Mian Suining Expressway. The ancient town of Di Qing was first built as a ferry in Nanliang period, reaching its peak in Ming and Qing dynasties and Qianlong period. Up to now, the ancient ferries, streets and houses in the ancient town of Di Qing are basically well preserved. The river flows quietly, the edge of the steps polished by the cup on the ferry is covered with moss, the old huts and diaojiao buildings are mottled with traces of time, the old streets come and go along the terrain, and the blue dome of the street is squeezed into a sky by the blue ink eaves. A person walking quietly, wearing a Chinese costume, is crossing in an instant.
The ancient town of Di Qing was called Qichuandu before the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, a local family named Fu gave birth to a baby named Jixiang, which was the reincarnation of Luohan Guizhi. The Fu family is a kind family that eats fast food and reads Buddha. Many years later, framed by a traitor, Mu Fu violated Buddhist precepts and angered the gods, and Mu Fu was sent to eighteen levels of hell. In order to save his mother, Fu Jixiang went to Jiuhuashan to become a monk, and his dharma name was Mulian. After finishing her studies, Mulian went through hardships to save her mother. The jade emperor read his filial piety and made him the king of earth treasure. After hearing this, Emperor Taizong was deeply moved. He named Manglietia a monk in the Tang Dynasty, and later named his mother Mrs. Di Qing. Therefore, Yichuan was renamed Di Qing. Until now, Ms. Di Qing's tomb and stone tablet still exist in the ancient town of Di Qing. In addition to the well-preserved ancient streets, Di Qing kitchen knives are also local specialties, and Di Qing Xinghuolong is a famous intangible cultural heritage.
A beautiful river, a livable town, a cup of mellow wine, a magnificent temple, an ancient street, this small town by the Fujiang River in Sichuan has been waiting for thousands of years.
