There are many ancient towns and cities in China, and I have been to many of them, but Zhaohua Ancient City in Guangyuan left a deep impression on me. This is a genuine ancient city with city towers, city walls, county yamen, tribute institutes, city god temples, and celebrity relics. But what impressed me the most is that the backdrop of the ancient city is a series of high mountains, with the Jialing River passing by, which is no worse than Langzhong Ancient City. During the Spring Festival this year, there were a lot of performances and night markets, and the atmosphere was particularly good. ⛰【Scenic Spot Guide】 📍Detailed address: Zhaohua Ancient City, Baolun Town, Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan. It takes about forty minutes to drive from Guangyuan, and you can navigate. It's easy to find. There is a parking lot outside the ancient city. During the Spring Festival, there are many cars. You can park in nearby farmhouses for 10 yuan. 🕙Opening hours: 24 hours, you can stay inside, but most of the paid attractions close at six o'clock, and there is no time limit for restaurants and homestays. 💰Ticket price: It's free to stroll around the commercial street in the ancient city. 45 yuan per person is a package ticket, including county yamen, tribute institutes, city towers and other historical attractions. There are performances at fixed times inside, which is quite cheap, cheaper than the nearby Langzhong Ancient City. 🌟Highlights: 👉This was the Jiameng Pass where Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought during the Three Kingdoms period. It gradually developed into an ancient city and is also part of the Jianmen Shu Road scenic area. After parking the car and looking at the guide map, mainly visit the three streets running east-west and the areas near the two city gates in the east and west. The main street running horizontally is the most important Jinniu Road in the ancient Shu Road, now called Taishou Street. The west end of the street is called Zhaohua West Market, which is mostly restaurants and homestays. The clouds and green mountains in the distance are connected into a piece, and there is an immersive night show (Jiameng Spring and Autumn) here. To the south or east, there are city towers that can be climbed to see the whole view of the ancient town. 👉Back to the main street and walk towards the city center, where there are many people. The free City God Temple is more lively here, the ancient theater building is opposite, and to the north are the county yamen, Confucius Temple, etc. The main street continues to the east, you can see Zhanfeng Gate, and to the south, you can see Linqing Gate and Fei Tomb. 👉The buildings in the ancient city are all Ming and Qing style buildings in northern Sichuan. Along the street, they sell various local ingredients, and there are also cafes, milk tea shops, and some alleys that can be walked into, where you can find some local residences, and there are also good homestays hidden here. In the evening, you can choose a restaurant in these ethnic houses to eat, the local dishes are grilled fish, and of course there are hot pots. 👉The southernmost part of the ancient city has a section of the Han Dynasty city wall, which looks relatively low, probably because it has been too long, it is precarious, and it has been preserved for two thousand years, which is really not easy. Further out from here are farmland and the Jialing River, and further away are continuous mountains. 📌Small Tips: During the Spring Festival, the lights are very beautiful at night. After various red lanterns and colored lanterns are hung up, there is a feeling of visiting a temple fair.
