#MarchGoodPlaces2025 72 Qilou~"Discussing military affairs under the stilt house and discussing the past and present on the top of the strange building" 72 Strange Towers is located in the "Wulingyuan District" of Zhangjiajie. It has the reputation of "the No. 1 Strange Tower in the World". The internal scenic area can be divided into three parts: "Tiangong Strange Towers", "Fireworks Old Street" and "72 Strange Villages". Let me tell you about it! ~~ 📗History: First built in the Tang Dynasty, it is an ancient building complex mainly composed of brick and wood structures. It was also an important military base in the Ming Dynasty. It became a commercial center in the Qing Dynasty. You can feel the rich historical heritage here, and it has also become an object of national key protection! ! 🌱Legend: It is said that since 67 AD, every other dynasty has built a floor, but the buildings built in each dynasty would sink into the ground over time. There are 72 floors so far, and these 72 floors are buried deep underground and no one knows about it. However, this story is not true but a copy made up by a TV program to introduce the 72 Strange Towers! ! 😅 🏘️Architectural style: Although the building was built in the Tang Dynasty, it incorporates the essence of many Chinese northern and southern architectural cultures, combining "bracket structure", "stilted building" and "carving techniques" to create the appearance you see today. The stilted building is 109.9 meters long and looks very spectacular up close! 🍜Food recommendations: ~ Fish in sour soup ~ Fresh fish is the main ingredient, and it is made with sour soup, chili and other seasonings. It tastes sour and spicy. ～Miao-style pickled fish～ It is made with fish and sauerkraut as the main ingredients and a unique cooking method. It has a unique taste and is very appetizing. ~Ciba~ It is made with glutinous rice as the main ingredient, with sugar, sesame and other condiments. It has a soft, sweet taste, and tastes a bit like mango glutinous rice or mochi. It is a very interesting dessert. You can come and try it. 😂 ~Blood duck~ Blood duck is one of the specialty dishes of Fenghuang Ancient Town. It is made with duck blood and glutinous rice. It has a soft and sticky texture and delicious taste. It is a favorite delicacy of Fenghuang people. 🎭Must-see performances: ～Carrying corpses in Xiangxi～ "Her eyes, her eyes, are like shining stars." When you hear this line, does the melody 🎼 ring in your head? ! Zhangjiajie is located in western Hunan, so the culture and performances of corpse-driving are definitely indispensable! !
