D1: Shengshui Temple—Luohan Temple Arrive in Mianyang in the morning, it's very convenient to take a taxi from the airport to the city center for just over ten yuan, Since we're taking the high-speed train to leave later, we chose to stay near the high-speed train station. After dropping off our luggage, a Didi taxi ride to Shengshui Temple and Luohan Temple costs just over nine yuan, The two temples are right next to each other, almost sharing a gate! Shengshui Temple is mainly about the exquisite statues, perfect for photo check-ins! In addition, the Buddha statues in the main hall are also stunning. Then, you can visit Luohan Temple, which is mainly known for the thousands of Luohan statues and the Thousand-Handed Guanyin statue inside the hall, which are amazing! There's also an outdoor white pagoda and Luohan statues on the walls, known as 'Little Southeast Asia'.

Mianyang is a nice place

Mianyang is very close to Chengdu, but it is not very well-known, probably because there are so many great places around Chengdu. This time, because of Cambridge and a plane ticket to Shanghai, I came here to experience Mianyang. The most famous attraction here is the Qiang Ethnic Tourism Area in Weijing District. The stone spheres are not particularly interesting; the place is small and the goods sold are common basic street stall items. However, in another area, the carvings and the scenery at Shenshui Sihe and Luohan Temple are incredibly stunning. It has now become a famous internet celebrity check-in spot. The overall number of people is also quite large, with many different kinds of Luohan statues. The sculptures are very distinctive, and the size is impressive to look at. Of course, Mianyang also has its own local specialty dishes.

Climbing the Yue Wang Tower, one can see 'The tower is a hundred feet high, and one can pluck the stars with their hands'

Yue Wang Tower, located in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, faces the Fujiang River. It was built by Li Zhen, the eighth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, when he was the governor of Mianzhou. It was built during the Xianqing period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (656-661 AD), and the tower was ten zhang (about 100 feet) high, ranking first among the four famous towers at the time (Tengwang Pavilion was nine zhang high, Yellow Crane Tower was six zhang high, and Yueyang Tower was three zhang high). Yue Wang Tower has been damaged and rebuilt several times. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a large fire destroyed most of the tower, and it was extensively repaired during the Yuan Dynasty. A fire in the Ming Dynasty completely destroyed it, leaving only the Yue Wang Platform, and all the cultural relics were destroyed and disappeared. After that, the 'Yue Wang Tower' was unknown for a long time. The Yue Wang Tower was rebuilt from 1989 to 2011. The main building is now 99 meters high, with 15 floors inside and outside, and the style is Tang-style overhanging eaves and hip roof. The height of 99 meters is still the highest among the imitation ancient buildings in the country (the current Tengwang Pavilion is 57.2 meters high, the Yellow Crane Tower is 52.6 meters high, the Guanque Tower is 72 meters high, and the Yueyang Tower is 32 meters high), hence the saying 'Yue Wang Tower is domineering, Yellow Crane Tower is atmospheric, Tengwang Pavilion is talented, Yueyang Tower is elegant'. What's different about the Yue Wang Tower? Floors 1-5 are pavilions, the second floor in the north and south directions are halls, floors 10-13 are towers, the 15th floor is a pavilion, the top is like a pagoda, each floor has an outline, in the Tang-style overhanging eaves and hip roof style, combining pavilions, towers, pavilions, halls, corridors, and pagodas. On the Yue Wang Tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Mianyang City. When the lights are on, the Yue Wang Tower shines even more in the night. Looking at the light show on the opposite bank, an ancient Mianyang and a Mianyang full of technology blend here, and for a moment it seems to be traveling through two time and space, feeling the unique atmosphere of the blend of ancient and modern.

DAYTIME AND NIGHT PANORAMIC VIEW OF YUEWANG TOWER

Ticket price: 50yuan for an adult. And the ticketing office is easy to locate and the staffs are friendly. Getting to YueWang tower from the train station or airport isn't difficult, a taxi or didi will do and it's not much of a distance. To catch the night view, you need to plan to visit around past 8pm. And at 7:30pm, there was a traditional Chinese music performances. Opinions: Not quite the experience but could pass if you're a lover of arts, museums and literature.
