We all know that Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and those who have been to Guilin know "Impression Liu Sanjie", which is a large-scale scenic sitcom created by the famous director Zhang Yimou with Guilin landscape as the background and the legend of Liu Sanjie as the theme.
Many people have gone to Guilin to watch the landscape and may not have seen the drama "Impression Liu Sanjie", but they must have heard it and been sold. Therefore, we take it for granted that Liu Sanjie's story takes place in Guilin, on the Li River.
However, this is a big misunderstanding, an official misguidance. The real story of Liu Sanjie actually took place not in Guilin, not on the Li River, but on the Yizhou and Xia Wang (Jian) rivers in Guangxi.
Regarding Guilin's official production of this drama, it is completely out of interest concerns, an outright commercial marketing. Of course, the commercial purpose was achieved, creating a lot of performance ticket income for the scenic spot, and also promoting the scenery of Guilin and the Li River well.
But this is Zhang Guan Li Dai and does not respect the practical. The people of Yizhou expressed considerable opinions, because after being robbed of their name by Guilin, the mountains and rivers of Yizhou and the Xiawang River were ignored.
Xiayang River, also known as Linjiang River, is located in Guangxi and is a tributary of the Longjiang River, a tributary of the Liujiang River of the Pearl River system. It originates from Ping'an Village, Dongxing Township, Huanjiang County, and flows into Longjiang. The total length is 151 km.
Xiayang River is the hometown river of Liu Sanjie, with beautiful scenery, and is the main location for the filming of the movie "Liu Sanjie". On December 17, 2017, it won the first national award"The most beautiful hometown river"Title.
From the topography and landform, the Xiazao River and the Li River are of the same type, very similar, and the scenery is very beautiful. If you don't know the facts, you will feel that you are on the Li River, and it is the Li River twenty years ago.
Today's Li River can be said with certainty that the scenery is not as beautiful as the Xiawang River. Why?The over-exploitation of the Li River over the years has long since ceased to be the simple and natural landscape of the Li River. The commercial atmosphere is too strong, and the traces of modernity are too heavy, like in a park, like in a playground, not in the embrace of nature.
For example, a large cruise ship, which is incompatible with the nature of the landscape, is the largest income of the scenic spot. Even the folk scenery such as bamboo rafts on the Li River and cormorant fishing, which are most praised by photographers, have been replaced.
*。Diesel engine fake bamboo raft on the Li River).
Today, the bamboo rafts on the Li River are small boats made of plastic tubes in the shape of imitation bamboos, and they are not penny boats, but diesel engines. There are no bamboo rafts to sit on, and fishermen's bamboo rafts along the coast are all prohibited from entering the water, and cormorant fishing is even banned on the grounds of ecological protection.
The official monopoly operation has instead destroyed the ecology, destroyed the natural beauty of the Li River, and brought disgusting business practices. It is also because of the large number of cruise ships, diesel engine fake bamboo rafts, the water of the Li River is no longer clear.
On the contrary, Yizhou's landscape is exactly the natural beauty that people need. Twenty years ago, everything you saw and heard on the Li River can be found here, and there are few people, even if you come on holidays. Don't worry about local accommodation, don't worry about crowding, very good niche experience.
