Things to do in Rong County

Although it is a relatively unknown site, the entire sculpture is still very historical. This national key cultural relics protection unit, hidden deep in the mountains, is well worth a visit.

Located in the Xiqin Guild Hall, the ancient Chinese architectural style, with its carved beams and painted rafters, vividly presents the history and culture of Zigong's salt industry. The process of well digging, water pumping, transportation, and salt production is explained in a concise and vivid way. The innovative use of natural gas and gravity well technology, based on operations research, allows you to extract the salt volume. It's a worthwhile experience!

The scenic area, originally rich in interesting resources, has become rather thin due to its self-promotion as a trendy tourist destination. It is suggested that it return to its original purpose, avoid getting lost in the noise of the times, and allow the Buddha's reputation to match its reality.

A fantastic experience and easily one of the highlights of visiting Chengdu. The base is beautifully maintained, with spacious, natural surroundings and plenty of opportunities to observe the pandas. The newer section is particularly impressive and well worth exploring. I’d recommend arriving early when the pandas are most active and the crowds are smaller. An absolute must-visit when in Chengdu!

Our trip to Zigong with the kids was great! We chose the DaNaoShou Family Theme Hotel, and the experience was fantastic! I was especially impressed with Xiao Liao at the front desk; her service was attentive and gentle. Check-in was smooth and efficient; she greeted our child proactively, gave us a small gift, and explained all the hotel's services in detail, answering all our questions. The hotel had a fantastic dinosaur theme, with adorable decorations that were perfect for photos. The rooms were clean and odor-free, fully equipped, and thoughtfully provided children's amenities. The children's playground on the first floor was clean and safe, allowing our children to play to their hearts' content. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to visit Fantawild Dinosaur Kingdom. The cleaning staff were also very responsible, keeping the public areas spotless. Overall, it was great value for money, the service was heartwarming, and our child loved the hotel. We'll definitely stay here again next time we come to Zigong!

A very worthwhile attraction to visit, and we even hired a guide; unfortunately, we couldn't see the brine extraction process, and seeing it separately would cost an extra 200 yuan, so we could only watch it via video; the current policies for seniors and children at tourist attractions are really thoughtful, as they are all free of charge.

We brought the kids here specifically to see the dinosaurs, and choosing this hotel was definitely the right decision! The location is incredibly convenient, very close to the highway exit—just a short walk after exiting the highway. It's also not far from Fantawild Adventure and the Dinosaur Museum by car. Parking is easy, with charging stations right downstairs, making it very convenient for those traveling by car. The mattresses in the room were from Sleemon, and they were very comfortable. There's complimentary freshly ground coffee in the lobby, as well as a self-cleaning step-by-step water dispenser, so we felt safe drinking water. Overall, a great experience, perfect for families visiting a dinosaur-themed destination!

This afternoon, we made a last-minute decision to visit Dujiangyan. We contacted a travel agency, and they responded quickly, arranging our itinerary and guide immediately. Our guide today, Ms. Baihe, was incredibly professional; her knowledge far exceeded our expectations. From the historical background of Li Bing and his son's water management efforts, to the water diversion and sediment removal principles of the three major projects—Fish Mouth, Feisha Weir, and Baopingkou—and the wisdom behind the six characters "deepen the riverbed, lower the weir," her explanation was clear, logical, and progressively structured. Our group consisted of friends from the north, many of whom were visiting Dujiangyan for the first time. We initially thought it would just be about seeing an ancient weir, but after her explanation, we truly understood why this project has functioned for over two thousand years and why it's a World Heritage Site. It was definitely worth the trip.

Mount Qingcheng is a mountain steeped in Taoist culture. Listening to the story of Bai Suzhen (the White Snake) along the way creates a particularly atmospheric ambiance. If you have elderly people, children, or those who are not very physically fit, you can take a sightseeing bus directly from the parking lot to the scenic area entrance. After walking a short distance to the lake, you can take a boat to the other side of the lake, and then take a cable car up and down. Overall, it's a relatively easy hike. If you're physically fit, you can complete the entire hike. The air and scenery are exceptionally beautiful.

Du Fu has been on my dads to do list for a while, it has a lot of history and marks a historical achievement in water flow management in China. A very scenic area and definitely worth visiting.
