The Ancient Town of Jiaguan: Pt. 2

夹关古镇：第二部分

During the nearly two weeks I spent in my wife’s hometown of Jiaguan, I managed to capture some additional photos of the town at night. The unique way the river was lit up created an alluring atmosphere. The sight of the Jiaguan river area illuminated by all the lights was absolutely breathtaking! I also had the opportunity to explore different sections of the town, each with its own distinct charm.

在妻子的家乡夹关待了将近两周的时间里，我拍了一些夹关夜景的额外照片。夜晚河边独特的灯光营造出迷人的氛围。夹关河区域被灯光点亮的景象真是令人陶醉！我还探索了城镇的不同区域，每个区域都有其独特的魅力。

The structures in the ancient town of Jiaguan are beautifully aged, offering a genuine ancient Chinese atmosphere that travelers often seek. While these buildings were constructed solidly for their time, the potential for large-scale earthquakes has led to modern structures throughout Sichuan province being built differently, especially after the Great Sichuan Earthquake. Despite these changes, Jiaguan retains its historic charm and is a captivating destination just a short journey from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan.

夹关古镇的建筑物经过岁月洗礼，尽显古老之美，提供了游客们常常寻求的真正的古中国氛围。虽然这些建筑在当时是坚固建造的，但由于有发生大规模地震的可能性，四川省全境的现代建筑，特别是在四川大地震之后，被建造得不同。然而，尽管这些变化，夹关依然保留着其历史魅力，是一个令人陶醉的旅游胜地，距离四川省省会成都只有一段短途。

Saving the best for last, the river area of Jiaguan becomes absolutely mesmerizing when illuminated at night. The reflections of the enchanting lights dance on the river’s surface, creating a surreal and breathtaking experience. If you ever visit this ancient town, make sure you don’t miss this stunning nighttime spectacle!

最精彩的部分留在最后，夹关的河流区域在夜晚灯光点亮时变得格外迷人。令人陶醉的灯光倒映在河面的瞬间，营造出一种超现实且令人叹为观止的体验。如果你有机会拜访这个古镇，千万不要错过这令人惊艳的夜景！

That’s my final post about Jiaguan (at least for this year). I visit Jiaguan once a year to visit my wife’s family and already aware of some newly discovered areas to take photos of, but at the time my camera unfortunately had no battery power left and no way to charge it. Until next year, Jiaguan! What are your thoughts on the photos? I’d love to hear about them in the comments!

This will be my final post about Jiaguan—at least for this year. I visit once a year to see my wife’s family, and I even discovered some new areas to photograph. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery just as I was about to capture them, and I had no way to recharge it. Until next year, Jiaguan! What do you think of the photos? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

这是我今年关于夹关的最后一篇帖子——至少今年是这样。我每年都会来一次看望我妻子的家人，我还发现了一些新的拍摄地点。不幸的是，正当我要拍照时，我的相机没电了，而且也没有办法充电。明年见，夹关！你们对这些照片有什么看法？非常希望在评论区听到你们的想法!
