Neijiang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Chonglong Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Chonglong Mountain—The cliff carvings right at our doorstep
Chonglong Mountain, located in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province, has been a famous place I knew since childhood. In recent years, I have traveled thousands of miles to visit many of the great landscapes of our motherland, but I have never visited the famous mountain and stone carvings right at my doorstep. Perhaps this is what the saying means: 'What we have, we do not treasure, and we become blind to it.' For this reason, I must climb this mountain, which is not very high in altitude, but rich in cultural charm. As soon as I entered Chonglong Mountain, not far along the way, what caught my eye were the cliff carvings from the Sui and Tang dynasties, with more than a hundred niches and over a thousand statues. Although damaged, they are still stunning. Next to the carvings, there are many inscriptions by famous people.
The Yongqing Temple on Chonglong Mountain is very famous and spectacular, located on the south side of the mountain top, rebuilt during the Ming dynasty. The temple complex is grand and the houses are neatly arranged. This is also a great place to climb high and look into the distance. Standing in front of the temple and looking out, the scenery of Zizhong city is all in view, especially the old buildings of the old city, which show historical traces and let people understand the past and present of this city.
In front of Yongshou Temple stands a statue of Guanyin, which is very shocking, facing the direction of the city, with a sense of the Buddha watching over and blessing all beings. There is a stone archway in front of the temple, with 'Chonglong Ancient Site' written on it, and couplets on both sides. On the back of the archway is written 'Famous Shu Temple'.
Behind the archway is the 'Wenming Danfu' archway, followed by the Heavenly King Hall of Yongqing Temple, and behind the hall is a double-eaved octagonal pavilion. Behind the hall is the 'Heavenly Pond', which never dries up even in severe drought. Behind the Heavenly Pond is the Mahavira Hall, with the Moon Pond on the right. The Thousand-Handed Guanyin inside the temple is truly breathtaking; the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the hall with a thousand hands and eyes watches every direction, each hand holding different ritual instruments or treasures. Looking around the entire Guanyin Bodhisattva, one can't help but marvel at the profoundness of Buddhist culture and the exquisite craftsmanship. This kind of standing in the hall, being able to look around the entire Guanyin, and being more closely touched than the one-sided Thousand-Handed Guanyin on the Dazu Rock Carvings wall, is more moving.
Tips: The entrance fee for Chonglong Mountain is 2 yuan, which is cheap, but I don't know if there is an annual pass.
Chonglong Mountain is surrounded by ancient trees and greenery, a natural oxygen bar, suitable for climbing high and looking into the distance, praying to Buddha and enjoying the scenery. A treasure mountain.
On the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder of Chonglong Mountain, there is the Chonglong Pavilion, which is also the highest point of the mountain. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to climb the pavilion, probably due to the protection of cultural relics, but looking up at the Chonglong Pavilion, it still feels very imposing.
According to the introduction, Yongqing Temple has more than 1700 collections, including calligraphy steles by famous people such as Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian, as well as paintings and calligraphy by Yuan Mu, Zeng Guofan, and Zhang Daqian. Huang Tingjian's 'Youlan Fu' stele is the most precious, a rare treasure, but I toured in a cursory manner and did not take a close look to see if there was Huang Tingjian's stele, which is really a pity, but I will make up for it next time.
To go to Chonglong Mountain, you can drive directly to the mountain gate, and taking a taxi is also very convenient and not expensive.
High-speed rail direct, recommending a lesser-known yet culturally rich small city
Compared to popular destinations, Wenlv Jun prefers distinctive niche destinations. Sichuan has an obscure small city called Neijiang Zizhong
with a history of over two thousand years. This place is culturally advanced, with a flourishing literary atmosphere, and its unique natural environment and profound historical heritage have left a variety of natural and cultural landscapes, including the Chonglong Mountain carvings, Confucian Temple, Martial Temple, Yongqing Temple, Catholic Church, Ningguo Temple, Yangliu Beach, etc. There are also many special local foods and lower prices, making it especially suitable for congestion-free travel during various holidays!
Having visited enough internet-famous check-in spots, such a slow-paced place, full of cultural heritage and the atmosphere of daily life, is worth visiting
Chonglong Mountain, experience the ancient relics, and self-portraits by famous artists
I haven't returned to my hometown Zizhong County for many years. Visiting Chonglong Mountain, a place I used to frequent as a child, with my alma mater at the foot of the mountain, my feelings upon seeing these ancient relics are completely different now. There are ancient temples and halls built during the Ming Dynasty, such as Yongqing Temple, and a total of 160 niches and 1,648 statues carved into the cliff during the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of which are well-preserved.
Beside the statues, there are also many inscriptions and poems by famous people since the Tang Dynasty. Yongqing Temple currently houses over 1,700 collections, including calligraphy steles and paintings by famous people such as Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Yuan Mu, Zeng Guofan, and Zhang Daqian. Among them, Huang Tingjian's 'Rhapsody on the Orchid' stele is the most precious, a rare treasure.
Zizhong also has a lot of delicious food. When in Sichuan, one can visit this small town for a unique taste.
Cultural Sanctuary - Chonglong Mountain
Chonglong Mountain is located in the center of Zizhong city, where the literary atmosphere has been prosperous since ancient times, leaving behind many cultural relics. In addition to the Junzi Spring cliff inscriptions that were previously introduced, there are various historical remains scattered throughout the mountain, exuding a strong cultural essence and an imposing aura.
The first site to mention is Yongqing Temple and its wooden archway, now a Sichuan provincial-level cultural heritage site. Yongqing Temple was initially built during the Tang Dynasty, rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, and renovated in the Qing Dynasty. The 'Chonglong Ancient Relics' stone archway in front of the temple was reconstructed last century, but the ten stone slabs embedded within are original artifacts excavated from nearby towns, exquisitely set into the archway. The wooden archway inside the temple is even more precious; originally part of the Yuzhou City Yuwang Palace gate, it was constructed during the Ming Dynasty's Jiajing era. The entire wooden arch is assembled without a single nail and has remained sturdy for over 500 years, with its elaborate brackets and flying eaves. In modern times, this archway also witnessed the Xinhai Revolution; Duan Fang, who came to Sichuan to suppress the Railway Protection Movement, was executed here, and in the 1970s, it was moved into Yongqing Temple.
Additionally, there are several stone archways from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as the Xichang Mountain Dou Archway and the Yuxu Palace Archway, both county-protected. There is also the provincial-protected Qing Dynasty Shouyin Pavilion, originally from Wanshou Palace, but unfortunately, that area has been closed due to the risk of landslides, and the trees have grown very lush. Of course, there is also another part of the nationally protected Chonglong Mountain stone carvings - the Ancient North Rock, which has also been mostly closed due to landslide hazards, featuring the exquisite Longdong Grotto and the Ancient North Rock and Huanyu Pool inscriptions.
Furthermore, at the foot of Chonglong Mountain is the Zizhong Wenwu Temple complex that was introduced in a previous article. There is also the Dongyue Temple, which now serves as a teacher training school and is rarely open to the public. The entire Chonglong Mountain is rich in historical sites, which have always attracted many literati and scholars to linger, truly making it a cultural paradise.

The hotel offers a swimming pool, hot spring private baths, ecological hotpot, and there are also many water activities nearby. It's very suitable for families with children, parents, and couples to relax and take a vacation. It's really quiet, and you can stay in the hotel for a whole day.

Dongxing Old Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Neijiang | Two Days and One Night in the City of Sweetness
To be honest, choosing Neijiang was indeed a counter-tourism strategy for the May Day holiday, to avoid the crowds and traffic . Here, I'll briefly talk about my personal insights and feelings over these two days. I hope it helps friends who choose to visit Neijiang .
🧳Mode of travel: Self-driving
✅Day1 (Overcast and rainy weather):
🌟Arrived at Dongxing Old Street at noon, randomly picked a noodle shop for lunch, finished strolling in over ten minutes, parking was inconvenient.
🌟Drove for seven or eight minutes to reach Daqian Garden (one of the reasons for visiting Neijiang), the previous article was specifically about this place, parking is free.
🌟Arrived at a hotel near Wanda Plaza in the evening (the hotel was not well chosen, no need to recommend), surrounded by delicious food, just pick at will.
✅Day2 (Clear after the rain):
🌟Slept until naturally waking up, drove about an hour from the hotel to Longchang Shihpai Archway, arrived at noon, a small attraction, toured for over ten minutes. Lunch: Weidaojia Chinese Restaurant (recommended, located within the scenic area), about 30 yuan per person, generous portions.
🌟After lunch, drove for over ten minutes to reach Guyu Lake (cover photo taken near Guyu Temple), as it was a family trip, went to a rural fun children's park (if time is limited, you can skip this, about 38 yuan per person)
🌟Then visited Wawa Mountain Wetland Park and Confucius Culture Park, since a lot of time was spent in the park earlier, the last two attractions were just a quick visit, strolled around casually, and then drove home.
📍Wawa Mountain: Didn't explore deeply, just checked in and took photos, the weather was good, the environment was nice, the roads were quite narrow, but the road surface was good.
📍Confucius Culture Park: A must-visit spot in the Guyu Lake scenic area, the Confucius statue is spectacular .
✅PS: Since it was also my first time in Neijiang, there were definitely many shortcomings in preparation, just sharing personal travel experiences, for reference only.
