  • Dousha Old Town in Yanjin County, Zhaotong

    

    Dousha Old Town is located 20 kilometers from the county seat of Yanjin County in the northeast of Yunnan. With a history of more than 2200 years, Dousha Old Town is one of the important ancient passages linking Yunnan and Central China as early as the 3rd century BC. For centuries, Dousha town has served as the first pass for those who entered Yunnan from Sichuan as one can see the existent Five-Chi passage that was built the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BC). A pavilion named “Tang Bei Ting” has been built at Dousha Pass, where one could appreciate the cliff carvings by Yuan Zi, a procurator and famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). On the opposite of the pavilion, one could further see the miraculous Suspended Coffins of Bo people.

    The tourist attraction of Dousha old town in Yanjin County boasts the spectacular and rugged ancient post road, the Doushaguan, dazzling Laolishan mountain scenery, well-visited domes and limestone peaks, dreamlike natural maze, rare and precious herbs & flowers all over the hills, towering trees, picturesque Sangushui waterfall as well as rich ancient cultural relics. Now, the Daoushaguan pass forms a modern transport junction where the Guanhe water way, the Neijiang-Kunming railway, the Yunnan-Sichuan express way meet each other. The 2,200-year Dousha town features tasty dishes like the Wugu chicken, as well as cultural sights such as the Wuchi Road, an ancient castle, and hanging coffins of the mysterious Bo people.
