🌈Travel strategy:
1. The Hakka wedding customs performance in the ancient town fully inherits the complete process of the 'six rites' of the Han nationality's wedding customs, including crying for marriage, welcoming relatives, carrying the bridal sedan chair, sedan bearers speaking in rhymes, and stepping on bamboo mats.
2. The fire dragon and water dragon of Luodai Hakka retain the authentic Jiangxi Hakka dragon dance method before entering Sichuan, preserving more of the most primitive procedures and simple rituals of ancient Chinese dragon dance, and is also one of the most attractive activities in Hakka culture.
3. Luodai Guild Hall is a condensed history of Hakka immigration. The architectural style of the Hakka guild hall belongs to the typical Ming and Qing architectural style. The carvings in each hall include round wood arches, carved drama scenes, painted eaves in the central bay, and carvings on the ceiling and roof ridges, all featuring various dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, and dramatic characters, lifelike and exquisitely crafted, very exquisite, with high artistic appreciation value.
4. Recommended food: Heartbroken bean jelly, Artemisia cake, stone-ground tofu pudding, swan egg rose candy, ginger candy, Zhang Fei beef, stuffed tofu, salted chicken, etc.

It takes about 40 minutes to drive from the center of Chengdu. The commercial atmosphere of the ancient town is strong, and various specialty snacks are everywhere. The ancient buildings are still preserved. The streets and alleys are clean and tidy. The small town is small in size, many places have not yet opened, and there is no strong impression of that impact.
I went to several ancient towns in Chengdu. Luodai Ancient Town is one of them worth recommending. It is relatively large. The Huguang Hall inside has many ancient porcelain pottery exhibitions, as well as Hakka items, and bought fruits bought by locals.
Luodai Ancient Town is still not far from Chengdu City. It is still a good ancient town commercial street. It is not so commercial. It is still worth seeing.
May 1 is full, the whole street eats a lot of play, blog building must see

Very nice ancient city, distinctive and charming. It is worth mentioning that the small restaurant outside the ancient city park is superb! Don't miss it. By the way, the ancient city does not charge tickets
It’s good to see the introduction on the guide, but I really went to no special place.
