Yibin Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Lizhuang Tourist Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Let's head south to the river and reminisce about Jiangnan—Li Zhuang's Moon Field can be visited there and back in a day
Reminiscing about Jiangnan, the boats are still the same, the bridges are still the same.
In the south of Sichuan, you only need one day to experience the charm of Yangzhou in the misty and flowery March.
Li Zhuang Tourist Resort
It takes just over an hour to get to Li Zhuang from the south of Sichuan.
Today's Li Zhuang has built a new area, Moon Field, with carved beams and painted rafters, small bridges over flowing water, clusters of flowers, and willows swaying gently, creating a scene where people wander in a painting and the painting flows in the water.
There are many young ladies dressed in various Hanfu taking photos and checking in among the flowers and by the water, as well as young men cycling and running. It gives people a peaceful pastoral life rather than the feeling of being in a tourist spot.
There are many tea houses, dining bars, snack shops in the alleys, and also special shops like post offices🏤 and instant noodle shops that are very attractive.
After 6:30 pm, the lights in the resort area are all lit up, and the night cruise boats start to operate, making it seem as if the Qinhuai scenery has reappeared.
Tips:The night cruise boat ticket is 60 yuan per person, full price for anyone over 1.5 meters tall. Personally, I think the boat ticket is 10 yuan more expensive at night, but it's worth it for the different experience from the daytime.
If you are keen to visit several old sites and don't mind the daytime cruise, I highly recommend the Ctrip joint ticket, which includes six major old sites➕daytime cruise for only 50 yuan, which means the boat ticket is only 30 yuan.
Note: The cruise time is about 20 minutes
You can make a round trip to the south of Sichuan in a day; we took an 8 o'clock cruise and drove home by 10 o'clock. So I highly recommend it to friends who want a one-day trip around the area or who find it inconvenient to stay overnight outside. Experience a day of Jiangnan tour in the south of Sichuan.

Lizhuang | The first ancient town on the Yangtze River
| The first ancient town on the Yangtze River.|||◾️Lizhuang Ancient Town is located in Lizhuangba, Cuiping District, Yibin City, Sichuan Province. It was founded in the Southern Liang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1400 years, spanning multiple historical dynasties. It is a national historical and cultural town.
◾️Lizhuang, originally a fishing village, had a post station in the Han Dynasty. Due to its proximity to the Yangtze River, it has always been a major water transport terminal. Freight ships from all over southern Sichuan dock and unload here, making it very busy. Therefore, Lizhuang Ancient Town is known as 'The First Ancient Town on the Yangtze River'.
◾️Lizhuang, during the difficult years of the Anti-Japanese War, silently undertook the mission of guarding Chinese culture, earning it a resounding title - China's Lizhuang. Lizhuang is also known as the reflection point of Chinese culture and the cradle of national spirit, and can be called the cultural backbone.
◾️Lizhuang Ancient Town has different sceneries at different times. The best time to visit is one day and one night. The morning Lizhuang Ancient Town is quiet and light, like a gentle woman from the south of the Yangtze River; the evening Lizhuang, like a woman with heavy makeup, is beautiful and dreamy. The daytime Lizhuang is lively, full of life, walking through the streets and lanes, visiting the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Temples, cultural relics, eating local special foods, fulfilling and satisfying. But I still like the morning and evening of Lizhuang the most.

Shunan Zhuhai (“South Sichuan Bamboo Sea”) National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Traveling with Autumn | The Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan, Yibin, Western Sichuan
The Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan, Yibin, Western Sichuan. After a night's sleep under the starry sky and amidst the bamboo forest, enjoy a hearty breakfast to kick off the second day of your journey.
There are many attractions in the northern part of the Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan, and we recommend five major attractions worth visiting.
The first is: Sea within the Sea
The Sea within the Sea is actually a lake of about 60 acres within the Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan. Because some ethnic minority areas are accustomed to calling large lakes 'hai zi' (sea), hence the name Sea within the Sea.
Friends who dream of martial arts can put on a harness and experience the thrill of transforming into Li Mubai or Yu Jiaolong, moving swiftly over the tips of the bamboo, soaring through the sky and diving into the earth.
The second recommended attraction for the northern route is a paradise for children—Huaxi Thirteen Bridges
There are countless streams flowing down the valleys in the Bamboo Sea in Southern Sichuan, and here the streams are full of fallen flowers, with each bridge presenting a unique view, hence the name Huaxi Thirteen Bridges.
Of course, there are more than just thirteen bridges here, there are also beautiful landscapes along the way and photo spots, among which the Panda Park is a fun place for family trips.
The 30-meter elephant slide is a challenge for oneself, and a series of amusement facilities such as swings and seesaws also sketch out a colorful playground for the children.
Continuing along the Huaxi Thirteen Bridges towards the east and the North Gate, you will come to our third recommended attraction—Colorful Flying Waterfall.
'Waterfalls fly across the southern and northern hills, almost like those of Lushan'
The springs that emerge regardless of place fill the deep and secluded bamboo sea with spiritual energy; where the mountain rocks are rugged, there are often hanging springs and flying waterfalls. Among the dozens of waterfalls with different postures in the mountains, the most spectacular is the Colorful Flying Waterfall.
In front of such a magnificent scene, descriptive words seem somewhat pale. Although the photos were not taken during the high water season, one can still catch a glimpse of the grandeur, imagining the splendor of the Milky Way falling from the sky.
On the way back to the hotel from the Colorful Flying Waterfall, you come to the highest point of the entire scenic area—Longyin Temple.
From a distance, the temple gate is above a staircase of 320 steps, majestic and imposing.
The Ancient Buddha Hall, Layman's Forest, and Vegetarian Restaurant are scattered on the north side atop the cliff, and the stele pavilion stands tall on the peak of Jiulong (Nine Dragons) Mountain. Pavilions, halls, temples, and towers are connected by corridors, forming a harmonious whole. Looking from the north, it resembles nine dragons soaring into the sky.
The architectural complex of Shangke Hall is cleverly nestled in the greenery of the ecological parking lot, complementing the majestic Nine Dragons landmark, the uphill avenue, and the stacked archway groups from below, shining together like nine dragons playing in the sea.
Finally, take another trip to the Bamboo Sea Museum of Southern Sichuan to read through the history and culture of this place.

Xingwen Stone Sea in Yibin
During the New Year's Day holiday, I took my child to the less-known tourist spot, Xingwen Stone Sea in Yibin, and unexpectedly gained a lot.
I learned that besides the 56 ethnic groups, there was once a Tujia ethnic group, saw the Tujia hanging coffins, the largest sinkhole in southern Sichuan, and the strangely shaped stalactites.
I experienced the wonders of nature, temporarily escaped the hustle and bustle of the city, relaxed in nature, and the child also challenged interesting experiences such as high-altitude zip lines and archery.

One of the Four Wonders of Southern Sichuan: Xingwen Stone Sea
Xingwen Stone Sea is a World Geopark. When you enter Xingwen Stone Sea in Yibin, you can admire the towering stone forests, huge caves and the stalactites inside that are like the work of gods, it's a great place for you to deeply appreciate nature.
My one-day itinerary was too short, mainly visiting the three wonders of the scenic area: the surface stone sea, the sinkhole, and the Tianquan Cave. I bought a package ticket: admission + sightseeing car + boat ticket, a total of 115 yuan/person. The sightseeing car is round trip, you can get on and off at any time, and the boat ticket can be bought or not. If you like outdoor activities, you can buy a 240 yuan package ticket, which includes a few more activities.
If you have a longer time, you can also go to the Western Grand Canyon for a visit.
The food in the scenic area is very average, Yibin's burning noodles are okay. Occasionally, you will be invited by local residents to eat at their homes, I heard it's good, all home-cooked dishes, but I didn't go . Considering that there are many delicious foods in Yibin, you can have a big meal after the tour, so I didn't rush.
The scenic area is very large, it is said that it takes three days to walk all the way, very suitable for friends who like hiking.
The transportation near the Stone Sea is very convenient, you can drive yourself, take a bus. You can also take a high-speed train from other cities to Yibin, and then transfer from Yibin, it's very close.
