1600 years ago, the ancient town of Tong Yuan was an important wharf on the Wenhe River at the intersection of the Three Rivers and an important place for commodity trading. Because ancient times has always been a state of emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce, the development of commerce is actually limited. If commerce cannot develop rapidly, naturally, many towns will not appear. The ancient town is almost equivalent to a small city now. Because there were no big economic groups in ancient times, their driving ability was limited. Because this place is located at the intersection of the three rivers, there are many businessmen transporting goods all over the country. They will hand over the goods here, and then purchase certain materials here, and this place will gradually develop.
Now the ancient town of Tong Yuan has gradually become a tourist attraction, but there are not many places where infrastructure has been changed on a large scale, only some reforms have been made in transportation and other aspects. People can easily drive to this place without large-scale infrastructure changes, and still retain the characteristics of the ancient town to a considerable extent. It is a good choice for people to walk on the streets of bluestone tablets and look at the scenery by the river in spring and autumn. In summer, Chengdu is a hot place. After all, there are four stoves in China. There are many rivers in this ancient town, which have played a certain role in cooling down. It is a good place to enjoy the cool and cool off.
The history of China has developed for thousands of years, with a cultural record of about 2,000 years, so there are still many ancient cultural towns left over, such as Fenghuang Town, Lijiang Town and Shanhaiguan Town, which are quite well preserved and span the north and south of China. The tourism resources of these ancient towns are unique to China. Although they will be developed to a certain extent, they will gradually realize the importance of protection, so the development of the remaining ancient towns will be relatively moderate.
