Nanchong Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Confucious Temple in Ancient city Langzhong

The temple is located in the heart of the Langzhong Ancient city. This temple was dedicated to worship Confucious. To get to the city gate you can take a taxi, but to enter the city and reach to the temple you’ll need about 7 minutes to walk. 🚶🏼‍♂️ The temple was built in Tang dynasty, and after the reconstruction, was open for visitors. Tickets’ cost is about 40 yuan each 🎟 It would be better if you buy the package of tickets for the Ancient city, can visit several sightseeings only for 110 yuan!!! The entrance of the is very beautiful! The area of the temple usually isn’t crowded so we took some nice pictures here 📸 Worth to visit once! #langzhongancienttown #confucious # Temple #scenicspotphotoguide#historicculture#culturalattractions

Aoshan Holy Mountain ⛰

Aoshan Holly Mountain is located in the ancient part of Langzhong, a historical and traditional city of Sichuan province. ⛰The place is quite beautiful and mystique, full of Chinese traditional temples and statues. 🎟 The tickets cost 50 yaun each but we had a guide who showed us around and told the story of this place. This scenic are isn’t usually crowded, what gives you opportunity to take good pictures of the place, even though you are not allowed to take pictures at the areas of temples and inside of those. 📸 From the top of a tower is opening a marvelous panoramic view of Jialing river and the whole ancient city 🏙 The guide adviced us to pray in the temple and then we were fooled by listening to the fortune teller and paid additional 100 yuan (we chose the lowest price) to the temple. 🔮 Excluding this experience, I liked the whole area! Will recommend! 👍 #scenicspotphotoguide#culturalattractions#themepark#nationalpark

Langzhong Ancient City National Day Tour (One Child, One Mother)

Langzhong Ancient City, an ancient military stronghold of the Ba and Shu states, is known as the hometown of Chinese Spring Festival culture and one of the four great ancient cities of China. The architectural style of the ancient city reflects the ancient Chinese concept of residential Feng Shui. With a chessboard-like layout, it integrates styles from both the north and south, forming a distinctive architectural group with 'half-pearl', '品' (pin)-shaped, and '多' (duo)-shaped patterns. Inside the ancient city, there are attractions such as the Han Huanhou Temple, the Northern Sichuan Road Office, and the Gongyuan (Imperial Examination Hall). Travel: 🚄Chengdu East to Langzhong takes about 3 hours. After exiting the station, take a taxi to the ancient city for about 10 yuan. Due to traffic control during the National Day period, there are detours, and the taxi fare is about 15 yuan. Stay: Homestays within the ancient city. 1. On October 3rd, we stayed at 'Our Home (Langzhong Ancient City Branch)', which cost over 400 yuan per night. The environment was very good: clean, with comfortable beds, and the room was simply and elegantly furnished, with a touch of Japanese style. It is recommended for families with children. The owner is very enthusiastic and a psychotherapist. Room cards are drawn by guests, and each card has a text that you can read to see if it matches your current mood (children also get room cards), which adds a sense of ceremony. The only downside is that the rooms are not soundproof, but this is also a characteristic of wooden ancient city buildings. 2. On October 4th, we stayed at the Langzhong Hou Family Courtyard Inn. The entire courtyard has a very grand style, reminiscent of a wealthy family from ancient times. We stayed in the central courtyard, which was quaint and serene, with a swing downstairs that the children liked, although the bed boards were very hard. Tour: It is recommended to buy a through ticket, 110 yuan for adults, half-price for children over 6 years old. Tickets can also be purchased online; I bought mine at the ticket office below Huaguang Tower. Day1: We arrived at the ancient city in the afternoon and strolled around to get a rough idea of the location and routes of each attraction. In the evening, we climbed Huaguang Tower. The stairs to the tower are narrow and almost vertical, so we had to climb up using both hands and feet. Children must be careful. From the top of the tower, you can overlook the scenery of the ancient city, which is very beautiful. Day2: Zhongtian Tower - Gongyuan - Langzhong Confucian Temple (under renovation during National Day) - Langzhong Tengwang Pavilion (outside the ancient city) - Nanjin Pass Ancient Town Zhongtian Tower is similar to Huaguang Tower, but it is the center of the entire ancient city. Tengwang Pavilion is not far from the ancient city, and it costs about 10 yuan by taxi. This is the Tengwang Pavilion written about by Du Fu, not the one by Wang Bo, but both were built by Li Yuanying. I must complain that the stairs were so tiring to climb that I strongly recommend visiting it last in your itinerary. Nanjin Pass Ancient Town is not worth visiting unless you go at night for a performance or to the viewing platform. It's a small ancient town that you can see in one glance, but it feels very nice. Day3: Han Huanhou Temple - Northern Sichuan Road Office - Langzhong Ancient City Geological Mineral Museum - Feng Shui Museum. Each museum is quite nice and worth experiencing. Overall, the ancient city is well worth visiting and revisiting. If you have time, staying for a while would be a great experience. For those who like to take photos, you can bring your own Hanfu; there are also many Hanfu rental shops in the ancient city. For food, you can eat as you walk, trying Fangsuo Guokui with cold noodles, Zhang Fei beef cold noodles, Langyuan Sanjue soup, as well as flower buns (you can learn about the history of flower buns, which is interesting) and rose vinegar.

Once again, I stayed at an ancient house turned into a bed and breakfast

After two visits to Langzhong, I have stayed in old houses within the ancient city. This time, I checked into the Kong Family Mansion, which is also an ancient house with a history of more than four hundred years. According to records, it was initially built by the descendants of Confucius during the Ming Dynasty, and it has been continuously expanded and repaired over the years. The area has been enlarged, and at one point, it served as the residence for officials in Northern Sichuan. The B&B has maintained the original architectural style of the ancient building, and the elements related to Confucius inside are also well represented. The overall experience of staying here was quite good. The housekeeper service was meticulous, and the room environment was also quite nice. The facilities were quite convenient, and the cats and dogs were so adorable. However, the downside is the lack of a playback device; it would have been better if there was a projector. That's it,

It's not that Dali is unaffordable, but rather that Nanchong offers better value for money

I found another county with free admission, suitable for weekend leisure travel

Ranking of China's County Tourism No.70: Peng'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province Peng'an County is one of the top ten eco-tourism cities in the country, and one of the fifty most beautiful small cities in China. It may not live up to its name, but it can be seen that the county is indeed trying to promote the culture of the historical figure Sima Xiangru. However, its natural tourism resources are average. Although it also has the support of Zhouzi Ancient Town, it is still average among various counties in Sichuan. Therefore, it has created a 4A scenic spot: The First Mulberry Plantation in the World. It's hard to understand what it means. Is it the first hometown in the world, the first hometown in the world, or the first countryside in the world? What does it want to express? In fact, this is not a single scenic spot, it is basically a combination of the main scenic spots in Peng'an County, trying to create a comprehensive tourism. Let's talk about the attractions of Peng'an County. 1: Zhouzi Ancient Town: Free admission, recommendation index: 3.5 stars, suggested play: half day Zhouzi Ancient Town was established during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan and is known as the last wharf ancient town on the Jialing River. It was named Zhouzi Ancient Town because Zhou Dunyi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty who wrote 'On the Love of the Lotus', lectured here for a few days. Wu Daozi, a painter of the Tang Dynasty, also passed by here when he was commissioned to paint the Jialing River for three hundred miles. In fact, these two people have nothing to do with Peng'an, which only shows Peng'an's eagerness to develop eco-tourism. Of course, Zhouzi Ancient Town itself is also good, with Longjiao Mountain behind it, and the view of the Jialing River is beautiful. 2: Hundred Cows Crossing the River, free admission, recommendation index: 2.5 stars, suggested play: 1 hour It's about watching a large group of cows cross the Jialing River to the two river islands, Sun Island and Moon Island, to graze. You can see this from May to October every year, which is quite spectacular. If the season is right, you can go and see. 3: Xiangru Ancient City, free, recommendation index: 3 stars, suggested play: half day Located in Jinping Town on the opposite bank of the Jialing River in the county, this is actually the former residence of Sima Xiangru, the location of the ancient Xiangru County. However, Xiangru Ancient City is a newly built ancient town in imitation of the ancient style. It should also be built for the pursuit of eco-tourism. This can explain why there is a pure ancient town of Zhouzi and another imitation ancient town. However, the ancient town is well built and the ecological environment is also good. There is also a Xiangru Wetland Park next to the ancient town, which should be worthy of a 3A rating. 4: Dashen Nanhai Scenic Area, 2A scenic spot, free, recommendation index: 2 stars, suggested play: 1 hour It's just a reservoir, the scenery is average, foreign tourists just don't go. Overall, the tourism resources of Peng'an County are average. The three tourist spots are convenient for transportation and close to each other. They are all free of charge, which is very suitable for a one-day and one-night or two-day and one-night weekend leisure trip. The actual experience is 28 points, ranking 28th among all the 70 counties and cities that have been on the stage, belonging to the weak second-tier, basically the same style as Zhaoping County, Guangxi (Zhaoping is also relying on Huangyao Ancient Town).

A hundred cows cross the river

The long and winding Jialing River flows through the land of Bashu. In Zhouzi Town, Peng'an, Sichuan, known as the 'first mulberry tree of Jialing', every year from May to October during the farming slack season, in the early morning, farmers will gather their ploughing cows together, drive the cows to cross the river to the small island in the middle of the river for grazing, and in the evening, the farmers will row to the island, gather the cows, and then cross the river back to the shore, each returning home. I asked the locals and learned that due to the rising water level of the downstream dam, the island in the middle of the river, isolated from the land, is rich in grass, and gradually formed the unique scene of a hundred cows crossing the river back and forth to eat grass every day. Zhouzi Ancient Town

A healing ancient town that has existed for a thousand years has been found around Chengdu

✔Direct high-speed rail|｜It is 2.5 hours away from Chengdu and has not been overdeveloped. The original ancient town, with the smell of life everywhere, accompanied by the evening wind of the Jialing River, strolling in it, as if traveling to ancient times. The ancient town is not big, if you walk quickly, you can finish it in about an hour. There are many original residents on the street, as well as local snacks, such as: twists, tofu skin, Guokui Liangfen, highly recommend the twists of the ancient town, there are several flavors, the taste is crispy, the favorite is the meat floss flavor. In addition to the characteristic snacks, there are also some small shops with childhood memories. For friends who like to take pictures, a casual shot is full of ancient charm. Compared with the familiar ancient towns, even on weekends, there are very few tourists here, most of them are locals, children playing on the street, old people sleeping at the door, cats napping on the bench under the tree... Traveling through the ancient town, the whole person has slowed down. At the exit of the ancient town, there is also a temple of the god of wealth, and there are tofu skin and Guokui Liangfen that have been opened locally for many years. Strongly recommend Guokui Liangfen. 🍭Address: Zhouzi Ancient Town, Peng'an County, Nanchong City ✈️Transportation: There is a direct high-speed rail from Chengdu to Peng'an. After getting off the high-speed rail, navigate to 'Jialing First Mulberry/Zhouzi Ancient Town'; 🔥Food: Yao's twists (any one is good), Guokui Liangfen, tofu skin 🌈Accommodation: There are many hotels in the county, choose according to your needs 📸Play: In addition to the ancient town, if you can get up early, you can go to see the ecological wonder—hundreds of cows crossing the river

Visit Zhang Fei at Langzhong Ancient City | Han Huanhou Temple in Sichuan Langzhong

⛩ Visit Zhang Fei at Langzhong Ancient City—Han Huanhou Temple 📖 Brief Introduction of Han Huanhou Temple: Han Huanhou Temple, also known as Zhang Fei Temple, is located on West Street in Baoning Town, Langzhong City. The original temple was destroyed by fire, and the existing temple complex was rebuilt during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It consists of a main gate, Diwan Tower, archway, main hall, rear hall, side rooms, and tomb mounds. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit. 📍 Detailed Address: Inside Langzhong Ancient City Tickets🎫: You can purchase a joint ticket for the ancient city or buy separately 📝tips: Little knowledge: 1. After Liu Bei established himself as the Emperor of Shu and claimed Yi Province, he appointed Zhang Fei as the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the Prefect of Baxi, stationed in Langzhong. In 221 AD, Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, and was buried in Langzhong. He was posthumously honored as Marquis Huan, and the people of Lang built a temple in front of his tomb to worship him for his loyalty and bravery. 2. Zhang Fei was stationed in Langzhong for 7 years, where he maintained peace and defeated Zhang He. The people admired his loyalty and bravery, and built a tomb and temple to commemorate and worship him. According to Cui Shan, the Tang Dynasty governor of Langzhou, the Huanhou Temple was built immediately after Zhang Fei's death. Despite being destroyed in wars, it was rebuilt time and again, 'the earth and buildings have changed, but the tomb field remains the same'. 📝 Note tips: No ticket is needed to enter the ancient city, but a ticket is required for Han Huanhou Temple. You can buy it separately or as part of a joint scenic area ticket.

Chengdu Outskirts Travel | Langzhong Ancient City Travel Guide

Langzhong Ancient City is one of the four great ancient cities of China, a small town with a thousand years of history. It has a long history and cultural heritage, making it a charming ancient city. Departing from Chengdu on Saturday and staying for one night is just perfect to fully appreciate its charm. . Attraction Recommendations: Zhang Fei Temple, Chuannan Confucian Academy, Huaguang Tower/Zhongtian Tower (choose one, the latter offers a view of the Jialing River), Baita Mountain (for a panoramic view of the old city area) ps: The ancient city is free to enter, but tickets are required for attractions, with a combined ticket costing 110. It is recommended not to buy it; just purchase individual tickets for the attractions you are interested in. . Food Recommendations: 1 White Sugar Steamed Bun Said to be one of the three specialties of the ancient city, it can be found everywhere in the city. In fact, it's just a stamped bun, quite fluffy and soft, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. 2 Fangsuo Guokui This Guokui is really crispy! It crumbles with a bite! You can try it with Zhang Fei beef and couple's lung slices, the meat paired with the cold dish is very refreshing. It's a bit spicy, so if you can't handle spice, let the owner know in advance~ The shop also sells cold noodles and such, making for an easy lunch with braised beef. 3 Yinxian Beef Noodle Soup Located just outside the ancient city, walk straight from Zhongtian Tower and turn right after exiting the ancient city. It's a soup noodle, but the soup base is different from what I've had before, very thick similar to the texture of spicy soup. The noodles are prepared in advance, and when you go to get them, the lady pours the soup base and sprinkles green onions on top. The taste is a bit unique, you can add a spoonful of garlic sauce + chili powder to mix, which makes it taste even better. And they only sell this one type of noodle, a small bowl costs 6 yuan with 2 pieces of beef~ Note: They only operate until 1:30 pm~ . Accommodation Recommendations: There are many homestays and hotels within the ancient city. It is recommended to choose a larger hotel for a much better environment and plenty of photo opportunities. The common issue is poor soundproofing, but after a tiring day of exploring, it doesn't really affect a good night's sleep. . Transportation There are 3 high-speed train services from Chengdu to Langzhong every day, departing at 10:33/11:53/18:05; there are 4 return services, departing at: 7:28/11:49/14:55/15:33, with the journey taking about 2.5 hours.
