On　April　2nd，　the　Department　of　Culture　and　Tourism　of　Hubei　Province　released　a　list　of　ten　＂treasure　small　towns＂　across　the　province．　Chibi　City　was　successfully　selected　for　its　profound　historical　heritage，　breathtaking　natural　beauty　and　rich　cultural　atmosphere．　This　ancient　city，　which　carries　the　memories　of　a　thousand　years，　has　entered　the　public　eye　with　a　brand－new　look　and　become　a　new　pearl　of　cultural　tourism　in　Jingchu．

As　the　site　of　the　Battle　of　Red　Cliffs，　Chibi　is　steeped　in　a　thousand－year－old　epic．　The　two　characters　＂Chi　Bi＂　carved　on　the　cliff　are　vigorous　and　ancient，　depicting　the　smoke　of　war　in　The　Three　Kingdoms　period．　In　the　ancient　battlefield，　the　live－action　performance　＂Red　Cliff　·　Riding　the　East　Wind＂　recreates　the　battle　legend　through　light　and　shadow，　making　the　thousand－year－old　history　tangible　and　perceptible．　Yangloudong　slabstone　street　built　in　Ming　and　Qing　Dynasties　is　lined　with　black　tiles　and　lush　greenery．　The　deep　ruts　on　the　bluestone　slabs　bear　witness　to　the　prosperity　of　the　Ten－Thousand－Mile　Tea　Road．　The　aroma　of　the　black　brick　tea　continues　the　century－old　cultural　heritage．

In　terms　of　ecology，　the　scenery　of　Chibi　is　uniquely　charming．　The　24，000　mu　of　wild　cherry　blossoms　on　Gexian　Mountain　cover　the　entire　mountain．　The　Lushui　Lake　is　a　vast　expanse　of　blue　water　and　dotted　with　thousands　of　islands．　Xuefeng　Mountain　and　Longyou　Hot　Spring　complement　each　other　beautifully，　combining　grandeur　with　leisure，　fully　demonstrating　the　beauty　of　ecology．

Amidst　the　hustle　and　bustle　of　human　culture，　Chibi　fish　cake　and　black　brick　tea　carry　regional　characteristics．　The　intangible　cultural　heritage　skills　such　as　oil－paper　umbrellas　and　bamboo　weaving　have　been　passed　down　from　generation　to　generation．　The　slow－paced　life　atmosphere　in　the　bustling　streets　and　alleys　forms　the　most　charming　backdrop　of　the　small　town．　Today，　this　small　town，　which　combines　ancient　charm　with　simple　joy，　is　quietly　awaiting　visitors　from　all　directions　to　enjoy　its　unique　tenderness　and　poetry　together．　（Xianning　Daily／Jian　Bo）
