A century-old ancient town, Sichuan's own little Jiangnan.

[Jiaguan Ancient Town Travel Notes] In the hinterland of the Sichuan Basin, there is a place with a long history and full of poetry-Jiaguan Ancient Town. This small town located in the southwest of Qionglai City, Sichuan Province, with its unique geographical location and rich historical and cultural heritage, has become a rare tourist attraction. Jiaguan Ancient Town is located on the beautiful western Sichuan plain, surrounded by mountains, and the clear river passes through the town, adding a bit of tranquility and beauty to this ancient town. ### Scenic spot introduction Walking in Jiaguan Ancient Town, you will be attracted by the well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings. The small alleys paved with bluestone slabs, the antique shops, and the old houses that seem to tell old stories all reveal the traces of the years. What is worth mentioning is the ancient tea-horse road site here, which witnessed the bustling scene of business travelers in history, and people can't help but imagine the lively scene of the year. In addition, Jiaguan has many temples and ancestral halls, such as Guanyin Temple, which are good places to experience local culture and beliefs. ### Traffic strategy It is very convenient to reach Jiaguan Ancient Town. From Chengdu, you can take a high-speed train or long-distance bus to Qionglai City, and then transfer to a local bus or taxi to Jiaguan Ancient Town, which takes about an hour. If you are driving by yourself, you can choose to go directly through the Chengdu-Wenjiang-Qionglai Expressway. The scenery along the way is beautiful and enjoyable. ### Accommodation recommendation For tourists who want to experience the life of the ancient town in depth, it is a good choice to choose to live in the ancient town. There are many inns with local characteristics, such as "Jiaguan Renjia" and "Old Street Inn". These inns not only retain the traditional architectural style, but also provide comfortable services, allowing you to enjoy convenience and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Of course, if you prefer modern accommodation conditions, you can also choose to stay in a hotel in Qionglai City, which is also very convenient. ### Nearby attractions recommended In addition to the charm of Jiaguan Ancient Town itself, there are some places worth visiting nearby. For example, you can visit Tiantai Mountain nearby to enjoy the natural scenery; or visit Wenjun Well to learn about the story of the talented woman Zhuo Wenjun in the Tang Dynasty; and Pingle Ancient Town, which is also a place full of stories. These places are not far from Jiaguan, and can be arranged for a tour together. Jiaguan Ancient Town attracts tourists from all directions with its unique historical and cultural charm. There are not only beautiful scenery to enjoy, but also stories to listen to. I believe that every visiting friend will find their own touch and memories here. If you are planning an unforgettable cultural journey, consider Jiaguan Ancient Town, I believe it will not disappoint you.
