In Chengdu, I found a severely underrated and lesser-known ancient town!|||

|||。🌟Unveiling the secret spots around Chengdu! Yuantong Ancient Town, a corner gently treated by time🌟 Hello everyone! On the outskirts of the bustling city of Chengdu, there lies a hidden gem that has not been overly developed—an obscure ancient town in Chongzhou. It seems like a painting from the old days, making people fall in love at first sight! 🚗 Starting from the west gate of Chengdu, it takes only half an hour's drive to escape the hustle and bustle and step into this tranquil paradise. Here, surrounded by mountains and clear waters, ancient towers stand tall, and stone bridges span across, as if you have traveled to Shaxi in Yunnan. The tranquility and simplicity here are intoxicating. 👣【Travel Guide】👣 Upon entering the ancient town, it is recommended to start from Shuangfeng Street next to the parking lot. On both sides of this street, the Jiangxi Guild Hall and the Guangdong Guild Hall reflect each other, with phoenix trees casting shadows, exuding an ancient charm. While strolling here, you might as well take a photo with these historical buildings to capture the traces of time. Then, walk along the stone-paved road towards Yuantong Tower and Yongli Bridge, each step echoing with history. Returning to the main road, Qilin Street on the right awaits your exploration. The simplicity of the Huang Family Courtyard, the solemnity of the Catholic Church, the elegance of the Luo Family Courtyard, and the tranquility of Zengfu Heng Street are all perfect spots for photography. Don't forget to visit Wild Boar Coffee; its unique facade might become the highlight of your photos. And on Zengfu Heng Street, the warmth and craftsmanship of the bamboo weaving shop are worth savoring. 📸【Photography Spots Revealed】📸 Shuangfeng Street: The solemnity of the Jiangxi Guild Hall, the delicacy of the Guangdong Guild Hall, and the phoenix trees on both sides of the street together form beautiful scenes. Qilin Street: The wooden doors and copper locks of the Huang Family Courtyard, the light and shadow of the cross at the Catholic Church, the carved beams and painted rafters of the Luo Family Courtyard, and the artistic facade of Wild Boar Coffee are all must-visit photography spots. Zengfu Heng Street: The handicraft shops here, especially the bamboo weaving shop, exude a simple beauty, making it a great place to capture the essence of ancient town life. Yuantong Tower and Yongli Bridge: Standing on the bridge and looking into the distance, the ancient tower reflects in the water, and the hurried pedestrians on the bridge create a breathtaking scenery. 🍵 When you are tired of walking, why not find a teahouse by the river, sip a pot of tea, and chat with a few friends? Here, time seems to slow down, making people forget the troubles of the world, only wishing for time to slow down and old friends to stay. Yuantong Ancient Town, a severely underrated and lesser-known place, hides endless surprises and beauty. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not visit here? Perhaps you will find a home for your soul.
