The Northern Sichuan Daoshu, also known as the Daotai Yamen, was an agency of the provincial government in the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, it became a high-level government agency for managing prefectures, states, and counties. The existing ruins and remains of the Langzhong Daotai Yamen were first built in the eighth year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1730), and the only building is the ceremonial gate. The main gate, the stone archway, the lobby, the second hall, and the third hall all reproduce the scenes of the Qing Dynasty through real objects and sculptures. The east and west wing rooms of each hall are decorated with cultural connotations according to their original functions. There are more than 20 exhibition rooms and more than 1,000 exhibits of various types. There are also ancient costume live performances such as "The Daotai Trial", which are rare in the country. After the restoration and completion, the Daotai Yamen will be one of the two existing Daotai Yamen in the country, and it has an earlier origin than the Harbin Daoya, which was built during the Guangxu period to manage customs and defense, and has greater local management authority. It will add tourist attractions that showcase the high-level "official morality culture" of the Qing Dynasty to the ancient city of Langzhong, and reproduce the important status of ancient Langzhong as the administrative center of northeastern Sichuan.

The Red Army Ferry has the Red Army Ferry symbol bronze statue, the Red Army Ferry site, the Generals' Platform, the Red Army Stone Slogan Monument Gallery, the Red Army Fourth Army Long March Starting Point Memorial Hall, the Memorial Forest, the Red Army Street, the Crossing Command Post, the Wang Ferry, the Merit Hall, the Ten Thousand Martyrs Monument, the General's Tomb, the Jialing River Crossing Battle Monument, as well as the Hundred Family Names Worship Platform and Huamu Pavilion, the Yangtian Tower and the Nantianmen Wenzhong Tower, the Native Tree Species Expo Park and other major tourist attractions. During the Red Army's battle in Cangxi, the Cangshan River was full of Red Army footprints. The Cangxi people were connected by blood with the Red Army, leaving behind many precious cultural relics. The Red Army Ferry: The Red Army Fourth Army's Jialing River Crossing Battle Site, formerly known as the Tashanwan Ferry, is the starting point of the Red Fourth Army's Long March, at the foot of the Tazi Mountain, 3 kilometers away from Cangxi County. On March 28, 1935, in order to quickly implement the strategic policy of "crossing the river and advancing westward", Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Shusheng and Commander of the 33rd Red Army Wang Weizhou and others went to the front line to observe the enemy situation and selected this place as the main crossing point for crossing the Jialing River. This was the first step taken by the Red Fourth Army to support the Central Red Army's westward advance. Tan Family Courtyard: The site of the General Command of the Crossing the Jialing River Campaign, located at the foot of the back mountain of Tazi Mountain in Cangxi. Zhang Guotao and comrades such as Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Shusheng, Commander of the 30th Red Army Yu Tianyun, and Deputy Commander Cheng Shicai directly commanded the Crossing the Jialing River Campaign here. Wangdu Shipyard: The site of the Red Fourth Army's crossing the river shipbuilding, located near Wangduchang on the bank of the East River, a tributary of the Jialing River, 20 kilometers away from Cangxi County, and the factory site is located on the riverside outside Caijiayuan. Before February 25, 1935, 75 "hairy clams" (also called "five-board") boats were built to accommodate a group of people. They were small, clever, light, fast, and each boat could accommodate a group of people. They provided material support for the Red Army's successful crossing of the Jialing River. At the same time, the Red Army made full use of the terrain and topography of Wangdu River Beach, which was similar to the main crossing of the Jialing River for the Red Army, and conducted river crossing drills on the Donghe River. Some military experts said that this was the birthplace of the first navy of the Red Army. Wenchang Palace: The former site of the Soviet government of Cangxi County, Sichuan and Shaanxi Province. The site is on Wenchangchang, 73 kilometers northeast of the county seat. Huangmaoya: The site of the Huangmaoya battle. Huangmaoya is located on the Panlong Mountain Ridge, 102 kilometers northeast of Cangxi County. On the rock wall between Panlongzhai and Shizizhai on the mountain, there is a pair of yellow boulders shaped like cats, hence the name Huangmaoya. To commemorate the great victory of the Huangmaoya Battle, the "Huangmaoya Battle Victory Monument" was built in 1967 and erected at the Huangmaoya Pass.

I had heard of this ancient town before, and since I was passing through, I decided to visit it. The pass I bought included six paid attractions, while the ancient town itself was free. Overall, the town was quite nice, with many historical sites, making it a culturally rich ancient town. The six paid attractions in the ancient town are definitely worth a visit. The other streets in the ancient town are all pretty much the same, with very repetitive items being sold!

It's definitely worth a visit. The all-inclusive ticket is quite cost-effective, and you can easily spend several days there. The commercial model of the ancient town is acceptable. There are many local residents who can experience their way of life, and there are many must-see attractions.

Zhongtian Tower, also known as the Four-row Tower, is one of the twelve towers in Langyuan. It is the Feng Shui coordinate of the ancient city of Langzhong and is known as the "No. 1 Feng Shui Tower in Langzhong". It is located in the center of the ancient city, and the ancient city spreads around it. Compared with Huaguang Tower, it is more magnificent and exquisite. There are many exquisite carvings on its roof and wooden beams. The whole building looks more delicate and more simple.

The art performances with Langzhong's history and culture complement the beautiful night view of Jialing River. While enjoying the scenery, the supporting special performances complement each other, which is a feast for the body and mind and a visual feast. It is worth participating.

A Stroll Through Langzhong Ancient City: Impressions. I visited during a weekend and summer vacation, and in the afternoon there weren't many tourists. Locals were leisurely staying home, so the photos I took while wandering the streets and alleys had a style reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic. It's worth mentioning Huaguang Tower. Although there's an entrance fee, it's a scenic spot in itself and great for taking photos.

Jinping Mountain is truly a scenic vantage point for Langzhong, a veritable fairyland. The Jialing River gently bends here, cradling Jinping Mountain across the ancient city, creating a superb location: "one side embraced by the river, three sides surrounded by mountains." Like a natural frame, it firmly holds the thousand-year-old splendor of Langzhong Ancient City, offering the best vantage point to overlook this earthly paradise. Standing atop the mountain, a gentle breeze whispers in your ear, and breathtaking scenery unfolds before your eyes: layers upon layers of green-tiled roofs, like frozen waves surging towards the sky. The ancient city's streets and alleys meander like veins, concealing the majesty of the Zhang Fei Temple and the scholarly atmosphere of the Imperial Examination Hall. The Jialing River's shimmering waters reflect the ancient city's image, shattering it in the rippling light. By day, cooking smoke mingles with the clouds, the vibrant atmosphere of the ancient city almost palpable; at dusk, lanterns light up one after another, light and shadow flowing on the river, as if time itself slows down, leaving only a sense of tranquility and bliss.

If you're visiting Langzhong, I highly recommend buying the combined ticket. I bought the Zhang Fei Temple ticket alone, but then realized there were so many other places to visit, so I checked and found that most of them were included in the combined ticket, which is why I bought the combined ticket.

The Red Army Battle Site, Military Equipment Display, Yingmingtang Cemetery, Farmhouse, Taoist Cultural Park, Yangtian Tower, Strange Stone Park, Common People Park. You can drive your car to the top of the mountain, or park it below and walk to the top of the mountain. Parking is very convenient. There is no ticket. It is very good.
