Guanxian Ancient City

Wuwuwu forgive me for the clickbait I regret not coming earlier, the back mountain of Qingcheng is really too chill!! . Here is a detailed 2️⃣ day tour guide of the back mountain of Qingcheng📝 Day1️⃣: Xipu-Qingcheng Mountain Station-Qingcheng Back Mountain Scenic Area Day2️⃣: Dujiangyan-Yangtianwo Panda-Guanxian Ancient City-Zhongshuge-Nanqiao Night View-Return . ✔️In the morning 🚄 Xipu-Qingcheng Mountain Station, take the scenic area bus to the entrance of the scenic area 30r/person (round trip) on the left hand side of the station, or self-drive🚘 ✔️I personally think that the most beautiful scenery route is mainly concentrated in the section from Wulonggou to Youyicun, which is to walk up the mountain and take the cable car🚠 down the mountain, which is not tiring and can take beautiful photos📷 ✔️Most of the road up the mountain is stone roads and wooden plank roads, all the way up are streams and waterfalls, the air after the rain is really fresh, walk and stop to take pictures to Youyicun about 3 hours, not tired at all! . This time we came to the back mountain, we stayed at the Yun End Hot Spring Hotel in Qingcheng Mountain It's in the scenic area, the main purpose is to come for the hot spring♨️, not only there are outdoor soup pools here, but also indoor ones~ It's very suitable for climbing the mountain and returning to the hotel for dinner and rest and then soaking in the hot spring♨️ with the little sisters, looking at the misty mountains, while soaking in the hot spring while enjoying nature! Soaking in the hot spring can not only relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, but also relax after soaking, and sleep until the next day naturally wake up! . The next day can be self-driving or Qingcheng Mountain Station-Dujiangyan Station Recommended route: Yangtianwo Panda-Guanxian Ancient City-Zhongshuge-Nanqiao Night View-Return . 🔘Back mountain ticket: 20r/person, cable car 30r/person 🔘The climbing stick bought at the entrance is 3r, I personally think that climbing must be prepared, but the cable car cannot be taken away (foldable can be) 🔘The temperature difference on the mountain is large, you must wear waterproof and warm clothes and non-slip good walking shoes 🔘 It is recommended not to bring a lot of water, there are a lot of snacks and water for sale all the way, and it is not recommended to drink a lot of water, there are really very few toilets on the road (don't ask me how I know😭) . Worship the water Dujiangyan Ask the way Qingcheng Mountain⛰️ There is still snow in the back mountain these days, if you have one or two days on weekends or weekdays, you must come to Dujiangyan/Qingcheng Back Mountain!

Visitors to Chengdu must set aside a day for Dujiangyan, where not only is there a world-famous hydraulic engineering project, but also the soft and cute giant pandas that celebrities have visited, as well as the artistic and retro old streets, the super romantic Blue Tears and Nanqiao... If it's your first time visiting Dujiangyan in Chengdu, I suggest you play like this✔ Public transportation: From Chengdu Xipu Station🚅 to Dujiangyan Lidui Park Station, the whole journey takes about half an hour, and the ticket price is 10💰; there are direct buses from major scenic spots in Chengdu to Dujiangyan Self-driving🚗 from Chengdu city area to Dujiangyan Yangtianwo Square, the whole journey takes about 1.5 hours One-day tour route: Yangtianwo Square - Guanxian Ancient City - Ming City Wall - West Street - Wenmiao Street - Dujiangyan Scenic Area - Nanqiao ✔Yangtianwo Square Right next to the Lidui Park high-speed train station, there is the super popular internet-famous giant panda🐼, even Dilraba has checked in here. ✔Guanxian Ancient City Opposite Lidui Park is the ancient city. Enter from Xuanhua Gate, there are many snacks along the way, then you can walk to the Ming City Wall, where you can overlook the scenery of the ancient city. Moving forward is West Street, the whole route is very suitable for a city walk! ✔Wenmiao Street Wenmiao Street is a retro old street. Most of the residents here have moved away, leaving behind many retro items, and it's quite atmospheric for taking photos. ✔Dujiangyan Scenic Area: The Dujiangyan Scenic Area is really a must-visit, with the world-famous hydraulic engineering project, and the entire walking route has especially beautiful scenery. Recommended route: Qinyan Tower - Erwang Temple - Anlan Cable Bridge - Fish Mouth - Feisha Weir - Baopingkou - Fulong Temple. ✔Nanqiao If you want to see the Blue Tears, wait until after dark, recently it doesn't get dark until at least eight o'clock in the evening. After visiting the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, you can go nearby for a hot pot first, and then come to see the Blue Tears when it gets dark.

Dujiangyan Scenic Area is located in the urban area of Dujiangyan City 🌊. It was built under the supervision of Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin Dynasty (details need to be researched on your own 💡). It is China's earliest hydraulic engineering project and has created the "Land of Abundance" in Sichuan. It is a must-visit place for tourists visiting Chengdu 🌟. ✔️Ticket🎫: 80 yuan/person ✔️Transportation plan 1. Take Chengdu Metro Line 2 🚇 to the terminal station, Xipu Station (transfer to urban rail within the station), get off at Lidui Park Station (this route is suitable for direct travel to Dujiangyan), and walk 900 meters to reach the destination. 🚉Urban rail ticket price is 10 yuan. 2. Recommended route, start with Qingcheng Mountain ⛰️ in the morning, refer to my Qingcheng Mountain travelogue, after finishing the visit at noon, take a taxi 🚕 for about 25 yuan directly to the Dujiangyan scenic area (or take bus 101 🚌 directly, but it takes more time). ✔️Travel guide 1. The main scenic area of Dujiangyan is relatively simple 😘. In fact, you can visit from Baopingkou to Yuzui and then 🉑 return, or take a sightseeing car 🛺️. We didn't take the car this time because the queue was too long (the scenic area ticket is 80). 2. There is a suspension bridge 🎢 at the fish mouth. Remember, if you are already tired from climbing Qingcheng Mountain, do not cross the suspension bridge 🚧 (you can ignore it if you enter from the south bridge direction). If you cross the suspension bridge and just take a simple look, return the same way 🚨. If you continue from the suspension bridge towards the exit, you will need to climb the mountain 🚶‍♂️⛰️ for 2 kilometers, which is very painful! Especially for those who have climbed Qingcheng Mountain in the morning, and there are no major attractions along the way, remember, remember‼️ 3. If it gets dark, you can take the South Bridge to Happiness Road ❤️, which is inside the Guan County Ancient City 🏯 for sightseeing. There are many snacks 🍡 at affordable prices, and it's not as expensive as Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley. ✔️Eat 1. There is a local specialty hotpot restaurant in Dujiangyan, which is not too expensive and worth trying. It can be reached by taking a taxi from the scenic area for 10 yuan. Remember to drink a bottle of Emei Snow and order a bowl of ice powder 🤭. ✔️Touring Tips To have a good time in Dujiangyan, you must do your homework📰 in advance. You can watch videos and read materials to fully understand its principles and value before visiting📸. It will be especially rewarding to bring children along. If you don't do your homework, you will feel very disappointed🌚!

Guanxian Ancient City I believe that before visiting Dujiangyan, ninety-nine percent of people have no idea about Guanxian Ancient City. We decided to stay in Guanxian Ancient City during the Spring Festival for a self-driving trip around Wenchuan, and then we made Dujiangyan our transit point. Known as 'Little Chengdu', Guanxian was established between 386 and 557 AD as a fortress on the way to Songmao. It has always been a strategic town and is known as 'the world's number one pass'. In the tenth year of the Dazhong era of the Tang Dynasty (856 AD), the military governor of Jiannan, Bo Mingzhong, built the Yulei Pass in the west of the city to resist the Tubo. Today's Guanxian Ancient City gives me the first impression of existing as a tourism commercial complement to Dujiangyan, with the main street, Happiness Road, lacking much of the ancient city feel, and the Water Conservancy Mansion ruins also being a bit of a mess. Relatively interesting is the area around the Ming city wall and West Street. West Street is the starting point of the ancient Guansong Tea Horse Road and still retains the ancient streets built along the mountain. Although West Street is also very commercialized, it at least retains the texture and spatial scale of the ancient city's streets and alleys, and it feels quite nice to stroll around in the early morning. Many people like to see the man-made 'blue tears' of Tianfu Source, but I prefer to enjoy the view of the covered bridge and the sunlit Jincheng Mountain together at sunrise. However, the snow on the mountains behind melts particularly fast; on the first morning, you can still see the snow-capped mountains, but by the same time the next day, you can only see a sparse amount of snow. So, watching the sunlit Jincheng Mountain in Dujiangyan also requires a bit of luck.
