Shuangxi Ferry Terminal Introduction
Shuangxi Ferry Head is located at the end of Chang'an Street, where the scenic confluence of Pinglin Creek and Mudan Creek can be enjoyed. During the Qing Dynasty, it served as an important checkpoint on the Danshen Ancient Trail, enabling the prosperity of Shuangxi Township with its advantages in boating. However, following the development of railways and highways, the ferry head gradually declined, leaving behind only the century-old stone houses as a testament to its former glory. In the past, Shuangxi Ferry Head was a cargo transfer station on the Danshen Ancient Trail, where large quantities of goods and passenger boats were transported down the Shuangxi to the old port, Jiushesi, where they were transferred to sailboats for distribution. On the return trip, small boats were used to transport daily necessities upstream to the top of Shuangxi. Due to its favorable location, Chang'an Old Street created a bustling town filled with businesses. During its heyday, Chang'an Street was home to a variety of shops, including theaters, traditional Chinese medicine shops, rice stores, fabric shops, as well as hotels and shoe stores. While the former glory is no longer present, there is now a sense of tranquility in this mountain town, making it a suitable spot for travelers to wander through alleys and enjoy the scenery while taking photos.
