Mianyang, that is a city with an ancient charm and full of the atmosphere of daily life.
The Yuewang Tower, which has traversed a thousand years of history, is not just a tower; it is the soul of Mianyang and a symbol of cultural heritage. Climbing to the top of the tower, it's as if one can hear the echoes of history stirring above the city. When you visit Mianyang, don't forget to take a night view photo at Yuewang Tower, as it is the city's most brilliant calling card.
Yuewang Tower address: at the head of Dongfanghong Bridge, Youxian District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province
Mianyang not only has a profound cultural heritage but also mouthwatering delicacies. Walking into Majia Alley in Mianyang, the crowd is bustling and the atmosphere is extraordinary.

The Ultimate Guide to Mianyang City! Just look here and you're set!
Have you guys checked in Mianyang? It's said to be the second largest city in Sichuan, very close to Chengdu, and there are many who drive here from Chengdu.
Today, I'm bringing you the most comprehensive guide to visiting Mianyang city area!
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'.
D2:
In the morning, I wanted to go to the museum, but unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance,
So I walked to Yuewang Tower, which takes about twenty minutes to reach.
The ticket for Yuewang Tower is 50 yuan, and you can also buy it online,
The main floors to visit are 9-14, out of a total of 14 floors!
Each open floor has its own theme. Take the elevator to the 14th floor,
Then visit down to the 9th floor, floors 9 and 10 are a bit like a museum and worth a visit!
Additionally, Yuewang Tower can be visited at night, I heard there's a light show or something.
In the afternoon, you can go to Fule Mountain, which is said to be a famous mountain in Mianyang.
All these are conveniently located in the city area.
⚠️ For travel, you can take a bus or Didi, which is very convenient.
The temples do not require an entrance fee, oh
Food): Mianyang rice noodles haha

Recommended visits:

✔️ Majia Alley for snacks, lots of delicious snacks, recommend the spicy folded ear root stuffed in dried tofu, and the cold dipping sauce is also tasty
✔️ Yuewang Tower and Dongfang Bridge, suitable for viewing the night scene in the evening
The above route is enough for a lazy morning start, we arrived at noon, casually ate something and then started our City walk, and retreated at 9 pm, it's no problem to get to Mianyang's high-speed train within 20 minutes before departure!

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.

The sacred temples of Mianyang can only be described as shocking. The two temples are connected. The charm of the thousand-year-old temples can only be appreciated by being there, as words are insufficient.

How beautiful is Mianyang at night? Just go to Yuewang Tower and you'll know. Yuewang Tower is brightly lit, with 🚘cars flowing endlessly below. The blend of classical and modern is visually striking.
The riverside view opposite Yuewang Tower, under the light, is like a tender girl, full of affection and charm.

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.
