Langzhong Ancient City: The millennium fengshui famous city on the banks of the Jialing River is located in the northeast margin of the Sichuan Basin and the middle reaches of the Jialing River. It is a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot, and is called the "Four Ancient Citys of China" with Lijiang, Shanxi Pingyao and Anhui. The core area of the ancient city covers an area of 2 square kilometers, and the total area of the scenic spot is 4.59 square kilometers. The ancient city of Langzhong has a history of building the city for more than 2,300 years, and it was once a military town of ancient Baguo and the state of the state. In the later stages of the Warring States, the state destroyed the country and moved from Jiangzhou to the capital of Langzhong. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, was once the Brazilian Taishou, and the town was guarded for seven years. He was finally buried here. The Zhang Fei Temple (Hou Temple of the Han Dynasty) in the ancient city was built to commemorate him. Yuzhong was the temporary provincial capital of Sichuan for 17 years in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and the Sichuan provincial township test was held here in the early Qing Dynasty. It is also the cultural hometown of the Chinese Spring Festival. The famous astronomers in the West Han Dynasty dropped the "Taichu Calendar" created by Yuan (Yuzhong) is the first complete calendar with written records in China. The layout of the ancient city reflects the ancient Chinese residential feng shui view, the chessboard-style pattern, the building complex integrating the north and south styles, forming a different architectural group such as "half-bead" and "product" fonts, which is a typical example of the "heaven and man in one" site selection in ancient China. ---First day of the 2-day tour of the ancient city of Langzhong: roaming the core area of the ancient city morning: start your day's itinerary from Huaguang Building (mount Huaguang Building, overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city and the scenery of Jialing River). Then visit the North Sichuan Daoshu (the dispatched agency of the provincial governments of Ming and Qing dynasties, which is large in scale and rich in content) and the Confucian Temple. Afternoon: visit the Hou Temple of Han Dynasty (Zhang Fei Temple) and feel the culture of the three countries. Then go to the Gongyuan (the examination room of the Qing township test to learn about the ancient imperial examination system). In the evening: taste the ancient city food (Zhang Fei Beef, Yuzhong Beef Noodles, Yuzhong jelly), and stay in the ancient city at night (such as Huajiantang·Yuyuan, Dujia Inn, etc.). Day 2: Explore the surrounding attractions morning: Go to Baita Mountain, climb the Baita overlooking the whole view of the ancient city and the Jialing River (this is a great location to watch the feng shui pattern of the ancient city). Then go to the Big Buddha Temple (there are Buddha statues in the Tang Dynasty). Afternoon: Visit Jinping Mountain, which is known as the "Yuanyuan Wonderland" and "Jialing's First River and Mountain". You can stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the entire ancient city. If time permits, you can visit the Tengwang Pavilion (built when the town of Yuwang Li Yuanying in the Tang Dynasty was guarded by Zhangzhou). In the evening: Taste local specialty snacks (such as oil tea dumplings, square pot helmets, etc.) Ticket suggestions: buy one ticket to the ancient city (about 100 yuan, online purchase may be more favorable), including many core attractions in the ancient city, cost-effective, usually three days effective (each attraction can only enter once). Food recommendation: · Zhang Fei Beef · Yuzhong Beef Noodles (recommended for "Yinxian Beef Noodles" outside the ancient city) · Yuzhong jelly powder · Baoning steamed dumplings (traditional food, soft taste, sweet taste) Accommodation advice: · Inn in the ancient city: such as Huajiantang · Yuyuan, Dujia Inn, etc., experience the antique living environment. · Hotels outside the ancient city: Rugao Zhongjin Yuan Zhangfei International Hotel (five-star standard), Zhang Yide Hotel (high cost performance), usually quieter
The environment was incredibly hot. The north-south alleys were shaded by trees, but the east-west alleys lacked shade and were scorching in the summer sun.
The value for money was excellent. The four attractions included a total of 140 yuan each, while the combined entrance fee was only 100 yuan.
It was very convenient to simply scan your ID at the entrance.
