Half 2. Yanjin County (盐津县), ‘China’s narrowest metropolis’
China, an enormous treasure chest that stimulates the adventurous spirit of distant explorers. When following an unfamiliar path, there are occasions while you encounter an unknown world that’s tough to consider is actuality. Yanjin County (盐津县), known as ‘China’s narrowest metropolis’, is one such place. The town is situated in a rugged canyon with the Guanhe River flowing by means of mountainous terrain with a median altitude of 1,600m. The sight of buildings taller than 4 to five tales lined up on the backside of a precarious mountain slope is a wierd sight that even curators who journey to distant areas have seen for the primary time.
Why achieve this many individuals come to reside on this unstable land? The town’s title, ‘Yanjin’, means ‘salt port’. Up to now, this place was not solely a well-known salt producing space, but additionally one of many necessary bases on the traditional Southern Silk Highway. Up to now, the primary gateway that individuals crossing from the Central Plains to Yunnan encountered was Yanjin County’s Duwu Temple. The highway is 5 inches huge (roughly 150cm), so when you stroll alongside the previous highway known as Wuchidao, you’ll encounter traces of historical individuals who headed out to the huge world carrying baggage and hopes on the backs of horses.
Jiaotong Metropolis, the place Yanjin County is situated, has one other particular highway. Baekhak Highway runs alongside the steep cliffs. Throughout the Qing Dynasty, this was the route used to move copper, a neighborhood specialty, to keep away from the sturdy waters of the Jinsa River. We meet individuals on the highway which might be as uncommon because the surroundings, from a pair on a date on a cliff path that’s too dangerous for a single individual to stroll on, to a lady strolling in excessive heels.
Leaving Yanjin County behind, the place the curator visited was the village he was most trying ahead to in Yunnan Province. That is Odeokdaegwagwoncheonganggun (五德大锅圈天坑群), the place eight households reside inside an enormous sinkhole with a diameter of 600m. A curator descends a cliff path for practically two hours to succeed in the underside of a sinkhole with a most depth of 150 meters. The nearer I get to the village, the extra my coronary heart flutters. What sort of surroundings will you encounter on this actually unknown village that no Korean has but visited?
