Luocheng Ancient Town

4.0/5
76 reviews
The architectural layout of Luocheng in Qianwei County is extremely unique. Luocheng Ancient Town is situated on a hilltop, with its streets and houses resembling a sailing ship. The origin of this small town is quite interesting. Legend has it that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar from another place arrived here and saw the local people suffering from a lack of water, making life very inconvenient. He could not help but recite a few lines: "Luocheng dry wharf, clothes and hats will not last long. To have water become a river, Luocheng must be built into a boat. If a boat travels in water, there must be water." The locals actually believed that remodeling the architecture was a good way to solve the water shortage problem, so they donated money to build it, and the result is this rare town, unique in the world. This boat-shaped ancient town is over 2,000 m long and approx. 650 m wide. The main street runs north-south, narrower at both ends and spacious in the middle. The street surface undulates, just like a deck amidst waves; the theater stage in the middle of the street towers high, like a raised sail. And the Luocheng Ancient Town-Lingguan Temple at the end of the street resembles the cabin of a ship. On both sides of the street, there is a row of shaded corridors, each approx. 200 m long and approx. 6 m wide, resembling a ship's canopy, also known as "Boat Hall Street." This surviving old street still retains some of the cultural features of old Sichuan from the Ming and Qing dynasties.Qianwei County · 21km from downtown

Jiayang's Suoluo Lake was created after the construction of a hydropower dam on the Mabian River. The lake features a broad surface and very clear water. You can take a tour boat onto Suoluo Lake and enjoy the scenery with green hills on both banks, a perfect scenic vista of lake and mountain. When you reach the Suoluo Ravine, you will find the ravine covered in lush suoluo trees (spinulose tree fern), which sway gently in the breeze. The Jiayang Suoluo Lake Tourism Scenic Area is like a virgin old-growth forest, quiet and beautiful.Qianwei County · 14.7km from downtown
Leshan Giant Buddha
No. 9 of Best Things to Do in Sichuan

Leshan Giant Buddha

4.7/5
32.7k reviews
The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Giant Buddha, is situated on the cliff of Qiluan Peak on Lingyun Mountain at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Leshan, Sichuan. It is a colossal seated stone statue of Maitreya carved during the Tang Dynasty, standing approx. 70 m tall, with a single instep spacious enough to accommodate over a hundred people. Legend has it that the turbulent waters at the confluence once frequently capsized passing boats. To calm the currents, the monk Haitong of Lingyun Temple initiated the carving of the Buddha. Over several generations, craftsmen continued the construction, which took approx. ninety years to complete. On the cliff to the right of the Buddha, an inscription from the Tang Dynasty titled "Jiazhou Lingyun Temple Great Maitreya Stone Statue" remains to this day, revealing its original name—the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Jiazhou Lingyun Temple. The common route to visit the giant Buddha is to first arrive at Lingyun Temple beside the Buddha's head, then descend along the winding Jiuzhaigou plank road built against the cliff. View the Buddha's spiral hair buns and robe folds up close, and reach the platform at the Buddha's feet to look up at the full figure. Only then can one truly appreciate the grandeur of "a mountain being a Buddha, and a Buddha being a mountain." Lingyun Temple has continuous incense offerings, and many travelers also join their palms here to pray for blessings. For a different perspective, take a boat cruise or view from the riverside of Leshan ancient city: the continuous mountain outlines of Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, and Guicheng Mountain resemble a giant reclining Buddha facing upward, with the grand Buddha seated precisely at its chest—creating the marvel of "Buddha within Buddha." The river view also captures the grand Buddha's full profile alongside the scenery of three rivers, making it especially effortless for travelers with limited stamina or those seeking panoramic shots.Leshan · 41.1km from Qianwei County

The best time to visit is in March when the rapeseed flowers are in bloom, but it's also well worth going now. Experience the last operating steam train on the mainland, watching it puff out steam as it races through the sky – a truly moving experience that feels like traveling through history. You can also see the Soviet-style architecture in the town. It's definitely worth a visit.

Nowadays, there is a kind of bridge in Shipping Street. Every family is playing, but most of them are old. They have worked hard all their lives. They should enjoy their happiness. Mosaic buildings have blocked the old streets of Luocheng, and the streets covered with bluestone slabs have long been cement roads. At the intersection of New Street and Old Street, there are various grocery stores, flies restaurants and ice-cream vendors. Some people eat pork head on chestnut wooden tables. Others lie on high stools and idly shake the cattail fan with cloth strips on the handle. Originally, there were some old and famous shops disappeared nowadays, such as Sanyuan, Fengtai, Heng Youheng, Sineng Hall and Chang Qingyuan. Instead, there were various clothing stores, snack shops, Department stores, daily groceries, hardware stores, barbershops, burial shops, hotels, teahouses, shoe shops, cinemas, singing halls and clinics, of which the number of teahouses was the largest. There are more than a dozen. Others like to play chess. I thought they all like bridge. It was the first time I saw bridge. I stopped and watched it for a while, but I couldn't understand it, so I went on wandering. Uncle's shoes are all made by him. How many shoes can he make by hand now? Only in this ancient town can we see it. Just as we were about to leave, an old grandmother told us that she could take us to see the whole town. After discussion, three people were 10 yuan, and the old grandmother was not easy. Grandma brought us an abandoned factory. Looking at it, we can see the whole town.

The little train rattles and rocks back and forth, and it feels like I'm back in my childhood, going back to my hometown for the New Year. Woo... I can smell the pungent smell of burning coal all the way, and the hard seats are made of pure wood.

The scenic area, originally rich in interesting resources, has become rather thin due to its self-promotion as a trendy tourist destination. It is suggested that it return to its original purpose, avoid getting lost in the noise of the times, and allow the Buddha's reputation to match its reality.

Jiayang Bajiaogou, Huangcun Mine, from a mining area to a scenic spot, I experienced going down into a coal mine. Because it was the off-season for tourism, it became a scenic spot for me alone. When I left the mine, I didn’t see other tourists.

My uncle took me to the mine to see the deep, damp and low working environment and experience the hardship of the old society. After watching the grandfather and grandson pushing the coal basket, my uncle repeatedly told me to eat more and gain more weight, otherwise I can't help at all!

Wanfu Cave is definitely worth a visit! The cave is incredibly cool and refreshing, a natural air conditioner. The stalactites and stalagmites are in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and the lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere. The walkways are well-maintained, making it easy for both the elderly and children to explore. It's a great place to escape the summer heat and relax; I highly recommend it!

I set off from Baoguo Temple Service Center at 7:00 AM, took a 2-hour bus ride to Leidongping, and then hiked to the Golden Summit. I didn't take the cable car; it took about an hour to reach the summit. It was foggy that day, so I couldn't see the Buddha statues clearly. I started my descent around 1:00 PM. I saw a few monkeys in the distance. After getting off the cable car, I took another bus to Wannian Temple. The bus pass allows for two hops on and off. When I arrived at Wannian Temple, I saw the Wuliang Hall, which is even older than the Golden Summit. I took the last bus down the mountain at 6:00 PM.

The park is very large and worth a visit. The queue to see the flowers took 90 minutes, but they were so cute, it was worth the wait. It's best to enter from the main entrance to save more time.
