Detailed description
The formation of Niwangzong Ancient Town originated from the Tibetan Buddhist manor system. In 1679, when Songzanlin Temple was initially built, Emperor Kangxi approved the ordination of 330 monks and assigned 300 slaves to serve the temple manor. Later, during the Qianlong period, another 70 households were granted, and thus, Songzanlin Temple had 370 households. Niwangzong Ancient Town is divided into two villages: the east is Conggulong, and the west is Xiaojiezi.
Niwangzong Ancient Town flourished in the later period of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road. Driven by the temple economy, Niwangzong Ancient Town once became an important post on the Tea-Horse Ancient Road, a famous village for trading salt, iron, tea, and mules and horses between the north and south.
In midsummer, Songzanlin Temple is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Walking through this quiet ancient town built around the temple, rows of ethnic-style turrets stand side by side, their eaves gently rising upward, and the uniformly blue-tiled roofs are staggered.
This was an important post on the ancient tea-horse trade route, a famous village for trading salt, iron, tea, and mules and horses between the north and south.
Those dilapidated ethnic-style turrets carry the rich cultural connotation of the ancient town.
