Luocheng Ancient Town

4.5
4.0/5
76 reviews
The architectural layout of Luocheng in Qianwei County is extremely unique. Luocheng Ancient Town is situated on a hilltop, with its streets and houses resembling a sailing ship. The origin of this small town is quite interesting. Legend has it that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar from another place arrived here and saw the local people suffering from a lack of water, making life very inconvenient. He could not help but recite a few lines: "Luocheng dry wharf, clothes and hats will not last long. To have water become a river, Luocheng must be built into a boat. If a boat travels in water, there must be water." The locals actually believed that remodeling the architecture was a good way to solve the water shortage problem, so they donated money to build it, and the result is this rare town, unique in the world. This boat-shaped ancient town is over 2,000 m long and approx. 650 m wide. The main street runs north-south, narrower at both ends and spacious in the middle. The street surface undulates, just like a deck amidst waves; the theater stage in the middle of the street towers high, like a raised sail. And the Luocheng Ancient Town-Lingguan Temple at the end of the street resembles the cabin of a ship. On both sides of the street, there is a row of shaded corridors, each approx. 200 m long and approx. 6 m wide, resembling a ship's canopy, also known as "Boat Hall Street." This surviving old street still retains some of the cultural features of old Sichuan from the Ming and Qing dynasties.Qianwei County · 21 km from downtown

Leshan Giant Buddha

The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Giant Buddha, is situated on the cliff of Qiluan Peak on Lingyun Mountain at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Leshan, Sichuan. It is a colossal seated stone statue of Maitreya carved during the Tang Dynasty, standing approx. 70 m tall, with a single instep spacious enough to accommodate over a hundred people. Legend has it that the turbulent waters at the confluence once frequently capsized passing boats. To calm the currents, the monk Haitong of Lingyun Temple initiated the carving of the Buddha. Over several generations, craftsmen continued the construction, which took approx. ninety years to complete. On the cliff to the right of the Buddha, an inscription from the Tang Dynasty titled "Jiazhou Lingyun Temple Great Maitreya Stone Statue" remains to this day, revealing its original name—the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Jiazhou Lingyun Temple. The common route to visit the giant Buddha is to first arrive at Lingyun Temple beside the Buddha's head, then descend along the winding Jiuzhaigou plank road built against the cliff. View the Buddha's spiral hair buns and robe folds up close, and reach the platform at the Buddha's feet to look up at the full figure. Only then can one truly appreciate the grandeur of "a mountain being a Buddha, and a Buddha being a mountain." Lingyun Temple has continuous incense offerings, and many travelers also join their palms here to pray for blessings. For a different perspective, take a boat cruise or view from the riverside of Leshan ancient city: the continuous mountain outlines of Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, and Guicheng Mountain resemble a giant reclining Buddha facing upward, with the grand Buddha seated precisely at its chest—creating the marvel of "Buddha within Buddha." The river view also captures the grand Buddha's full profile alongside the scenery of three rivers, making it especially effortless for travelers with limited stamina or those seeking panoramic shots.Leshan · 41.1 km from Qianwei County

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

4.6/5

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is home to many adorable giant pandas, and you can observe these charming national treasures up close. Located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is approx. 10 km from the city center, and its construction fully simulates the wild living environment of giant pandas, with lakes, streams, bamboo forests, lawns, and more. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has many "panda villas", which are enclosed leisure areas for pandas. Each features an outdoor yard and an indoor rest room. When the weather is cool, the giant pandas play in the yard, and visitors can watch the adorable pandas through the railings; when the weather is hot, the giant pandas hide in the air-conditioned rest rooms, and visitors can only watch them through the glass. You can also see pandas in the new area of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and they are our hero pandas. The pandas' home is bigger, and their activity range is wider. Seeing pandas is the main draw, but there is plenty more to do and see. A must-visit is our landmark building — the internet-famous Panda Tower. As a new landmark of Chengdu, it stands at the highest point of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The tower is 69.8 m tall with 11 floors. Its exterior resembles a giant bamboo shoot, while the interior is shaped like a blooming hibiscus flower. Inside, 81 platforms are distributed throughout, allowing visitors to enjoy the views of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding from multiple angles. There is also the Art Museum (New Building) located in the dense forest area of the new district, which uses emerging exhibition methods such as multi-sensory interaction, lighting installations, interactive installations, and thermal sensing to create immersive exhibition scenes for visitors. The new area of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding plans to set up science popularization display boards and interactive facilities with rich content and diverse forms in four major zones, so that visitors can learn about giant pandas while watching them and enhance their interactive experience. On festivals related to animal and environmental protection, themed science popularization activities will also be carried out for visitors of different age groups, such as interactive lectures, family-friendly science popularization, mystery exploration games, and other activities that combine education with entertainment. When you're tired from playing, you can also go enjoy a musical — "Panda": it vividly presents to the audience the scene of magical animals, with the giant panda as their representative, coexisting harmoniously, sharing nature, and loving life on the beautiful and fertile land of Chengdu, Sichuan. Through the form of a musical, it reflects the livable landscape of Chengdu, Sichuan, and the simple and leisurely life of the local people. In terms of total area, it has increased from the original 1,035 mu to 3,570 mu, expanding by 2.5 times. During the expansion, the original topography and landforms were fully followed and preserved, and the multi-level landscape belts of mountain valleys formed by mountain gullies and streams were utilized to create 11 giant panda venues, multiple science popularization venues, and visitor pedestrian streets and other sightseeing locations. After the expansion project is completed, it can accommodate no fewer than 180 giant pandas and companion animals such as red pandas and golden snub-nosed monkeys. As of now, multiple giant pandas and red pandas have moved into the "new homes" in the expansion area, and rare animals such as golden snub-nosed monkeys will also be waiting to welcome everyone in the future. In terms of design, the new area is equipped with ample visitor facilities in accordance with 5A attraction standards. It not only provides basic facilities such as sightseeing vehicles and tourist restrooms, but also equips the hill commercial street, the exit commercial street, and scattered commercial complexes in various zones with a large number of tourism service facilities. The planned business formats include dining, souvenir sales, postal services, cinemas, theaters, and experiential education, among others, and the quantity is sufficient to meet visitor demand. After nearly a year of operation, in response to the practical issues of the new area's large size and uneven distribution of supporting facilities, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has added multiple beverage vending machines, direct drinking water dispensers, and shared convenience facilities throughout the new area to improve the visitor experience. Next, the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will further supplement and improve visitor rest facilities, inquiry service facilities, and guide and navigation facilities to meet visitor needs. The expanded Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will help Chengdu build a demonstration site of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, improve conditions for giant panda research and conservation, protect biodiversity, fully demonstrate the brand value, cultural value, and economic value of giant pandas, and build the cultural tourism brand of "Sanxingdui, Jiuzhaigou, and Giant Pandas: A Leisurely Journey Through Sichuan." New businesses and projects such as the Panda Art Museum, IMAX Theater, and Panda Theater are now open, meeting visitors' needs for dining, entertainment, sightseeing, shopping, and leisure while they watch giant pandas.China · Chengdu

The best time to visit is in March when the rapeseed flowers are in bloom, but it's also well worth going now. Experience the last operating steam train on the mainland, watching it puff out steam as it races through the sky – a truly moving experience that feels like traveling through history. You can also see the Soviet-style architecture in the town. It's definitely worth a visit.

Nowadays, there is a kind of bridge in Shipping Street. Every family is playing, but most of them are old. They have worked hard all their lives. They should enjoy their happiness. Mosaic buildings have blocked the old streets of Luocheng, and the streets covered with bluestone slabs have long been cement roads. At the intersection of New Street and Old Street, there are various grocery stores, flies restaurants and ice-cream vendors. Some people eat pork head on chestnut wooden tables. Others lie on high stools and idly shake the cattail fan with cloth strips on the handle. Originally, there were some old and famous shops disappeared nowadays, such as Sanyuan, Fengtai, Heng Youheng, Sineng Hall and Chang Qingyuan. Instead, there were various clothing stores, snack shops, Department stores, daily groceries, hardware stores, barbershops, burial shops, hotels, teahouses, shoe shops, cinemas, singing halls and clinics, of which the number of teahouses was the largest. There are more than a dozen. Others like to play chess. I thought they all like bridge. It was the first time I saw bridge. I stopped and watched it for a while, but I couldn't understand it, so I went on wandering. Uncle's shoes are all made by him. How many shoes can he make by hand now? Only in this ancient town can we see it. Just as we were about to leave, an old grandmother told us that she could take us to see the whole town. After discussion, three people were 10 yuan, and the old grandmother was not easy. Grandma brought us an abandoned factory. Looking at it, we can see the whole town.

The little train rattles and rocks back and forth, and it feels like I'm back in my childhood, going back to my hometown for the New Year. Woo... I can smell the pungent smell of burning coal all the way, and the hard seats are made of pure wood.

The shuttle bus takes nearly two hours one way and can be taken from the high-speed rail station, which is very convenient. There are large and small cable cars, and I highly recommend the large one, which is like a bus suspended in mid-air and is very stable. You can spend about two hours exploring the Golden Summit. There are many food options on the summit. It's a bit cold at the top, several degrees lower than at the foot of the mountain, so wear warm clothes. The Golden Summit is magnificent and worth a visit!

Jiayang Bajiaogou, Huangcun Mine, from a mining area to a scenic spot, I experienced going down into a coal mine. Because it was the off-season for tourism, it became a scenic spot for me alone. When I left the mine, I didn’t see other tourists.

My uncle took me to the mine to see the deep, damp and low working environment and experience the hardship of the old society. After watching the grandfather and grandson pushing the coal basket, my uncle repeatedly told me to eat more and gain more weight, otherwise I can't help at all!

Wanfu Cave is definitely worth a visit! The cave is incredibly cool and refreshing, a natural air conditioner. The stalactites and stalagmites are in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and the lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere. The walkways are well-maintained, making it easy for both the elderly and children to explore. It's a great place to escape the summer heat and relax; I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend Ms. Zheng Ting! This private guided tour at the Panda Base was fantastic. Ms. Zheng's explanations were vivid and professional, explaining panda habits and conservation stories. The pace was comfortable throughout, and she patiently answered our questions and took great care of us. It wasn't just a rushed sightseeing trip; we learned so much. Thank you, Ms. Zheng, for your dedicated explanation! If you visit the Panda Base, definitely book a guided tour with Ms. Zheng!
