Two wonderful towns in China are separated by a kilometer, calling the same name, but belong to two provinces respectively
Three thousand years of civilization look at Shaanxi, and five thousand years of civilization look at Shanxi. But does anyone want to see Shanxi and Shaanxi together? So, let me give you a small chance today. In China, there are many places with the same name. For example, Taiping mentioned earlier. If you search Taiping Town, the webpage will show you hundreds of Taiping Towns without hesitation. But the strange thing here is that there are two towns like this in China. The distance between them is only one kilometer at most. The two towns still call the same name, but, but, in the two thousand years of history, these two towns have Never been in contact. What the hell is going on? We together look!
Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi
I'm from Shanxi, and customers should be respected. Let's look at Shaanxi first. Shouldn't people from Shanxi have any opinions? In Shaanxi, there is such a holy place of history, history and culture, that is Yan'an. There is such a less famous county in Yan'an, that is Yichuan, but in Yichuan, there is such a town, but it is very remarkable, that is Hukou Town, this town originally seemed to be a township, but later changed to town. The latter is based on web data! Hukou Town in Shaanxi, adjacent to us for 2,000 years, was fortunate enough to visit once. I really admire the customs and culture of the local people.

Then let's take a look at Shanxi, it's our turn. In Shanxi, there is a thousand-year-old county, that is Jixian. Ji County was called Quyi in history. This county had a great relationship with Chong'er, the son of Jin State at that time. At that time, Duke Wen of Jin was framed and distributed, and the location was in this Ji County. Coincidentally, there is also a place in Ji County whose name is also Hukou. Moreover, it is less than one kilometer away from Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province. To be precise, some places are less than 500 meters away. This is Hukou Town in Shanxi.
Hukou Town, Shanxi
Hukou Town in Shanxi and Hukou Town in Shaanxi, the two towns are less than one kilometer apart, but they belong to two provinces, which is somewhat confusing. If you have been here in person, you will find that the two towns here can see each other, and when one side shouts, the other side can hear it. But the strange thing is that the people of these two towns basically had no contact before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Why? Next to the orgasm part, please don't blink.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River across Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces
According to normal logic, and the virtues of hospitality passed down by the Chinese in history, two towns so close must be visited by you and me, and relatives keep coming. But, but, historically, one of the biggest problems that people have to overcome first is traffic. Traffic is inconvenient, how do you get around? Between these two towns, just less than a kilometer away, there is a natural danger, called Hukou Waterfall. It is said that there are ninety-nine bends in the Yellow River, and the most dangerous one is here. Immortals can't even jump off it, let alone ordinary people who go to the other side of the river to climb and bring their relatives. Therefore, in the feudal period, for two thousand years, people in these two towns knew each other, but there was no way to be a guest in the past, which also became an anecdote.
Yellow River Bridge
Fortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economic level has made great progress, and finally a Yellow River Bridge was built on the Hukou Waterfall between Shanxi and Shaanxi. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which have been cut off for two thousand years, can finally walk over with their heads held high. In recent years, the residents of the two towns have communicated more and more frequently, and they come to stroll from time to time. In the end, I have to thank this great era.
