Mango travel diary: God must have a preference for Yunnan, giving her colorful scenery, livable climate, and rich ethnic customs, if you ask the domestic most want to settle in the city, I believe that many people’s answer is: Yunnan. With a maximum elevation of 6740 meters and a minimum elevation of 76.4 meters, Yunnan is a continental landscape with a variety of landscapes, both highland snow-capped mountains and lakes, as well as canyons, forests and rivers, bordered by Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and adjacent to Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi.
But God is also relatively fair, high mountains and canyons and rivers have made Yunnan’s beauty beautiful, but also caused inconvenient transportation and difficult to build a city. In the border between Zhaotong, Yunnan Province and Yibin, Sichuan Province, there is a narrow river valley with cliffs on both sides and a river in the middle, the terrain is extremely precarious, and the “narrowest” Yanjin in Yunnan Province is built in this narrow river valley. Although it is a small, remote county in the mountains of Yunnan, Yanjin has many high-rise buildings.
Because of the limited ground, the parking resources here are very tight, most hotels do not have parking lots and can only be parked in public parking lots. The spacing between buildings and buildings is also very narrow, a bit like the urban villages in Guangzhou, pushing open the window to see the windows of the opposite building, the opposite room layout can be seen clearly.
The roads in the county are also very narrow, with only two lanes, and as long as a car stops in front, it will cause traffic jams. Because the ground is not enough, many houses are built on the river, the house support pillars are built on the river, like the general hammock of the Miao Village, look a little bit of trepidation, push open the window and you can fish.
People who first entered Yanjin have a feeling of being overwhelmed, because the county is very narrow, both sides are cliff walls, there is a sense of oppression of Tarzan. Especially on rainy days, landslides and mudslides often occur on the hills, and the river is as muddy and rushing as the Yellow River, making the whole county seem to be shaking in the storm.
It is this precariousness that makes Yanjin, the “narrowest” county in Yunnan, a popular county on the Internet, and many small video platforms of aerial photos of Yanjin are very hot, which also triggered a lot of discussion among netizens, why build a county in such a place? Wouldn’t it be dangerous if a geological disaster occurs? There are also netizens who say that such a place is to send a suite also dare not live.
So why build a county town in such a precarious place? In fact, Yanjin in ancient times for the Bo people living, had salt wells to produce salt, with a ferry, and later gathered more and more people, slowly developed into a county. Although it is in the middle of a high mountain valley, Yanjin has a “subway”, that is, the Inner Kunshan Railway has a station in Yanjin, because there are many high mountains and little flat land, so part of the railroad is through the mountains (tunnel), and is called “subway” by the locals.
Yanjin County, although precipitous, but the scenery is good, especially after the rain, the clouds and fog as if in a fairyland. The surrounding attractions are also a lot, there are Dou Sha ancient town, the Bo coffin, Qin open five feet road, the ancient castle in the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty Yuan Zhi inscription cliff, the Qing Dynasty Guanyin Pavilion, the Qing Dynasty three official building stone tower and so on, may be due to the remote mountain traffic inconvenience economic backwardness, so are relatively well preserved.
Yunnan “narrowest” county Yanjin, if you send a suite, you dare to live?
