I found another county with free admission, suitable for weekend leisure travel

Ranking of China's County Tourism No.70: Peng'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province Peng'an County is one of the top ten eco-tourism cities in the country, and one of the fifty most beautiful small cities in China. It may not live up to its name, but it can be seen that the county is indeed trying to promote the culture of the historical figure Sima Xiangru. However, its natural tourism resources are average. Although it also has the support of Zhouzi Ancient Town, it is still average among various counties in Sichuan. Therefore, it has created a 4A scenic spot: The First Mulberry Plantation in the World. It's hard to understand what it means. Is it the first hometown in the world, the first hometown in the world, or the first countryside in the world? What does it want to express? In fact, this is not a single scenic spot, it is basically a combination of the main scenic spots in Peng'an County, trying to create a comprehensive tourism. Let's talk about the attractions of Peng'an County. 1: Zhouzi Ancient Town: Free admission, recommendation index: 3.5 stars, suggested play: half day Zhouzi Ancient Town was established during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is one of the top ten ancient towns in Sichuan and is known as the last wharf ancient town on the Jialing River. It was named Zhouzi Ancient Town because Zhou Dunyi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty who wrote 'On the Love of the Lotus', lectured here for a few days. Wu Daozi, a painter of the Tang Dynasty, also passed by here when he was commissioned to paint the Jialing River for three hundred miles. In fact, these two people have nothing to do with Peng'an, which only shows Peng'an's eagerness to develop eco-tourism. Of course, Zhouzi Ancient Town itself is also good, with Longjiao Mountain behind it, and the view of the Jialing River is beautiful. 2: Hundred Cows Crossing the River, free admission, recommendation index: 2.5 stars, suggested play: 1 hour It's about watching a large group of cows cross the Jialing River to the two river islands, Sun Island and Moon Island, to graze. You can see this from May to October every year, which is quite spectacular. If the season is right, you can go and see. 3: Xiangru Ancient City, free, recommendation index: 3 stars, suggested play: half day Located in Jinping Town on the opposite bank of the Jialing River in the county, this is actually the former residence of Sima Xiangru, the location of the ancient Xiangru County. However, Xiangru Ancient City is a newly built ancient town in imitation of the ancient style. It should also be built for the pursuit of eco-tourism. This can explain why there is a pure ancient town of Zhouzi and another imitation ancient town. However, the ancient town is well built and the ecological environment is also good. There is also a Xiangru Wetland Park next to the ancient town, which should be worthy of a 3A rating. 4: Dashen Nanhai Scenic Area, 2A scenic spot, free, recommendation index: 2 stars, suggested play: 1 hour It's just a reservoir, the scenery is average, foreign tourists just don't go. Overall, the tourism resources of Peng'an County are average. The three tourist spots are convenient for transportation and close to each other. They are all free of charge, which is very suitable for a one-day and one-night or two-day and one-night weekend leisure trip. The actual experience is 28 points, ranking 28th among all the 70 counties and cities that have been on the stage, belonging to the weak second-tier, basically the same style as Zhaoping County, Guangxi (Zhaoping is also relying on Huangyao Ancient Town).
