Chengdu's ultra-niche water-playing ancient town for kids, tea drinking, and enjoying a slow life

🚗 Qionglai Jiaguan Ancient Town Self-drive or 🚄 to Qionglai and take 🚌 304 directly It suddenly became popular some time ago because of the intangible cultural heritage: Iron Flower 🍃 Jiaguan is actually not a very famous ancient town in Qionglai, because it has no competitiveness among similar ancient towns, after all, the neighboring Pingle Ancient Town is already well-known. But I prefer Jiaguan, it is more simple and natural, without the uniform internet-famous ancient town snack streets, there are only tea shops along the river and local snacks. I love its lively atmosphere, the elderly sitting on bamboo chairs, fanning themselves and chatting, children happily tasting refreshing ice jelly on the covered bridge across the river... 🍃 The river is the center of Jiaguan Ancient Town, with residential buildings built along the river, sitting idle on boats, a scene of tranquility and harmony. The boatman turns on the sound system, music starts playing, it is the ballads loved by the older generation, the boat slowly cruises, I close my eyes, enjoying this moment of peace... 🍃 My son had a great time here, he was both excited and curious about the boat ride, stepping on the stone steps to feel the cool water flow, playing all day without feeling tired. 🍃 If you come to Jiaguan on a market day, you will definitely fall in love with this place, as if you have returned to your childhood going to the market with your parents, everywhere is full of novel things. Home-grown vegetables and fruits, grains and dry goods, wild fresh produce, etc., dazzling... 🍃 Outside the ancient town is a tea culture experience park, if you come in spring you can also experience tea picking, and taking photos in the vast tea garden is very picturesque. In short, I like this niche ancient town, and I hope it will always remain simple and clean. Jiaguan Town
