Just a 2-hour drive from Chengdu, with no entrance fee, it's a perfect spot for family photos! 🧚 🧚 Why is it called a Fairy Tale Town? Qingping is a small town nestled in the mountains of Mianzhu. After the Wenchuan earthquake, the town was rebuilt with houses painted in macaron colors and walls covered in cartoon murals.

Unlike other ancient towns around Chengdu that are built on flat land, Wufengxi is the only one constructed on the slopes of the Tuojiang River Gorge. Half of the houses hang on the cliffs, while the other half face the river. Five streets stretch along the mountain ridge, with no flat roads in sight. The unique layout makes it incredibly photogenic, with fewer crowds and less commercialization. It's just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu. ⛰️ Why is it called Wufengxi|Geographical Explanation The five streets stretch along the mountain ridge, resembling five phoenixes spreading their wings, hence the name Wufengxi. The houses are built on the slopes of the Tuojiang River Gorge, with stilted buildings half on the mountain and half suspended in the air. From the riverside, the entire town looks like it's hanging on the cliff. There are no flat areas, only steps, which sets it apart from other ancient towns. 🏘️ How to explore the five streets|No backtracking · Jinfeng Street: The main street with teahouses and snacks. · Yufeng Street: Old residential houses, quiet and undisturbed. · Qingfeng Street: Home to the Guandi Temple and ancient architecture. · Baifeng Street: Best spot to view the Tuojiang River's big bend. · Xiaofeng Street: The most secluded, almost no visitors. Start from Jinfeng Street, walk uphill, and follow the mountain ridge in a loop. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete. 📸 Best photo spots|Perfect timing ⛰️ Stilted buildings: 9-10 AM, shoot upwards to capture houses hanging on the cliff. 🌊 River bend: 2-3 PM, view the big bend of the Tuojiang River from Baifeng Street. 🏮 Old street steps: 3-4 PM, take photos of the steps with the sunlight. 🌅 Riverside sunset: 5:30-6:30 PM, capture the sunset reflecting on the river. 🍜 What to eat · Jintang Mingcan Noodles, a local specialty. · Jiang Douhua on Jinfeng Street, about 20 RMB per person. · Local ice crisps, 5 RMB per pack. 🗺️ One-day itinerary 09:30 Depart from Chengdu. 11. 00 Arrive at Wufengxi. 12. 00 Lunch at Jiang Douhua. 13. 30 Explore the five streets. 17. 00 View the river bend from Baifeng Street. 18. 00 Return to Chengdu. 🏨 Complete your trip|Stay at Heguang Hotel✨ After returning to Chengdu, check in at Heguang Hotel: ✅ The concierge reminds you to wear soft-soled shoes due to the many steps. ✅ RTX5070 to edit your ancient town photos. ✅ Zero-pressure mattress to soothe your legs after a day of climbing. ✅ Night market barbecue downstairs. Heguang·ALIENSPACE Alien Gaming Hotel (Chengdu Jiannan Road East Memory Store) ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls ❌ Avoid visiting at noon on weekends; it's hot, and the steps get scorching. ❌ Don't buy "ancient town specialties"; most are wholesale products. ❌ Strollers are inconvenient; use a baby carrier or waist stool. ✅ Wear soft-soled shoes; there are many steps. Bring water as it gets sunny on the slopes.
I've visited all the ancient towns around Chengdu, but Jiaguan is the only one where I actually sat down and learned a craft 😭. The old paper workshop on the Tea Horse Road is still operational, and the papermaker uses the most traditional methods to make paper. From soaking bamboo to drying the paper, the process takes seven days. We spent a whole day pounding pulp, and though our arms were sore, it was incredibly fulfilling 📜. 📜 Why Write About Jiaguan? Because this is the last stop on the Tea Horse Road before leaving Sichuan, and one of the few places in western Sichuan where traditional bamboo paper is still made. This isn't one of those fake workshops set up for tourists; it's a genuine paper mill that produces paper for art studios. During our visit, we spent an entire day with Master Wang, the papermaker, and learned all about the experience. 🗓️ The Birth of a Sheet of Paper|Seven-Day Process Day 1: Cutting Bamboo - Harvest bamboo and cut it into 2-meter-long sections. Day 2: Soaking Bamboo - Split the bamboo and soak it in a lime pool until fully saturated. Day 3: Pulping - Pound the bamboo into pulp in a stone mortar. Day 4: Paper Scooping - Use a bamboo screen to scoop the pulp from a water pool, forming wet sheets of paper. Day 5: Pressing - Stack the wet sheets and press them to remove water. Day 6: Drying - Stick the sheets onto walls to air dry naturally. Day 7: Peeling - Peel the dried sheets off the walls, and the bamboo paper is ready to use. We managed to scoop 10 sheets of paper with Master Wang, but only 4 turned out well. Our arms were so sore we could barely lift them. 🏘️ The Ancient Town Itself Jiaguan Old Street stretches along the Baimo River, and the old stone road of the Tea Horse Road is still intact. This was the route caravans used to take into Tibet. At the entrance of the street, there's an old teahouse where tea costs just 5 yuan a cup. By the river, there's a centuries-old banyan tree with roots extending into the water. 🍜 What to Eat · Wang Po's Pig Trotters: Located by the Baimo River, the trotters are stewed to perfection. Only 15 yuan per bowl, served with rice. · Zhang's Noodles: Sweet water noodles and minced meat noodles, just 10 yuan for a filling meal. · Riverside Wild Tea: Master Wang's family picks their own hawk tea. It's free and you can drink as much as you like. 📸 Best Photo Spots|Optimal Times 📜 Paper Workshop Scooping Station|10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, when the bamboo screen is lifted from the water, droplets create a picturesque scene. 🧱 Drying Wall|1:00 PM - 3:00 PM, when sunlight filters through the semi-transparent bamboo paper on the mud walls. 🏘️ Tea Horse Road|9:00 AM - 10:00 AM, the old stone road still bears the marks of horse hooves. 🌳 Banyan Tree|4:00 PM - 5:00 PM, roots stretch into the river, and locals chat under the tree. 🌊 Baimo River|Dusk, when the water is calm and reflects the old street. 🗺️ Suggested Itinerary 9. 00 AM: Depart from Chengdu, 1.5-hour drive to Jiaguan. 10. 30 AM: Arrive at Master Wang's paper workshop to learn paper scooping (30 yuan per person, take your paper home). 12:30 PM: Lunch at Wang Po's Pig Trotters. 2:00 PM: Explore the Tea Horse Road Old Street and visit the old teahouse. 4. 00 PM: Relax under the banyan tree by the river. 5. 30 PM: Return to Chengdu. (If you want to stay overnight, you can stay at Master Wang's place for 50 yuan per night, including breakfast.) 🏨 Complete Your Trip Back to Chengdu|Heguang Full-Service Package✨ Return to Heguang Hotel on Jianshe Road: ✅ The concierge will pre-arrange your visit with Master Wang, as the paper workshop doesn't accept walk-ins. ✅ Use the RTX5070 to edit and enhance photos of the paper you made. ✅ Enjoy a zero-pressure mattress to relax after a day of walking and paper-pulping. ✅ Visit the night market downstairs for skewers and ice jelly. Heguang·ALIENSPACE Alien Gaming Hotel (Chengdu Jianshe Road Dongjiao Memory Branch) ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Pitfalls ❌ Don't go on weekends; the paper workshop doesn't operate then. ❌ Don't wear white clothes; paper pulp stains are hard to remove. ❌ Don't buy the so-called "handmade paper crafts" in the ancient town; most are machine-made. ✅ Book your paper-scooping experience in advance. The concierge can provide Master Wang's contact info. Bring gloves, as the pulp can be rough on your hands.
After visiting over 20 ancient towns around Chengdu, Xinchang Ancient Town is the only one that made me want to stay 😭. No bar streets, no trendy bubble tea shops—just an authentic Sichuan water town with old streets along the river. Locals wash vegetables and clothes by the riverside, you can spend an entire day at an old teahouse for just 10 yuan, and the ancient Sichuan King Temple is free to visit. All this for just 50 yuan per person for a full day of fun 🏘️. 🔍 Why "Go Against the Grain"? Most ancient towns around Chengdu look the same: stone-paved streets, bubble tea shops, grilled sausages, and photo ops. Xinchang is one of the few remaining authentic Sichuan water towns. Locals still wash vegetables, do laundry, and chat by the river in the morning. Elderly folks play mahjong in old teahouses. There are no trendy signs or commercialized renovations. We visited three times just to experience this untouched charm. 🏘️ A True Water Town Old Street The old street stretches along the Chujiang River, with wooden stilt houses lining the water. Stone steps lead directly from doorways to the riverbank. At 8 a.m., you’ll see women squatting on the steps washing vegetables, with bamboo baskets by their side, while ducks swim by. Standing on the bridge, it feels like stepping back into the 1990s. 🏛️ Sichuan King Temple|Free Ming and Qing Dynasty Architecture At the end of the old street is the Sichuan King Temple, a Ming and Qing dynasty structure dedicated to Li Bing. The wooden carvings, stone plaques, and murals are all original, and there’s no entrance fee. In the courtyard, two ancient osmanthus trees fill the entire street with their fragrance in autumn. The temple caretaker will even share stories about how Sichuan salt used to pass through here. 🍜 What to Eat|Local Favorites · Zhou’s Blood Tofu: Open for 30 years, the tofu is so tender it’s hard to pick up. Just 15 yuan per bowl with rice. · Liu’s Yellow Rice Cake: Wrapped in bamboo leaves, only 3 yuan each, perfectly steamed. · Riverside Tofu Meal: Around 20 yuan per person for tofu, braised pork, and vegetables. · Zhang’s Fermented Rice Soup: Warm and sweet, just 5 yuan per bowl in winter. 📸 Best Photo Spots|Perfect Timing 🌊 Riverside Washing Spot|8-9 a.m., morning light shines on women washing vegetables, capturing the most authentic daily life. 🏘️ Stilt Houses|10-11 a.m., shoot the wooden houses by the water with their reflections in the river. 🏛️ Sichuan King Temple|2-3 p.m., capture the light patterns in the courtyard and shadows of the ancient osmanthus trees. 🍵 Old Teahouse|All day, enjoy a 10-yuan cup of tea while watching elders play mahjong. 🌅 Stone Steps at Sunset|5-6 p.m., the sunset turns the river golden. 🗺️ Itinerary 09. 00 Depart from Chengdu’s Jiànshè Road, 1-hour drive to Xinchang. 10. 00 Take photos of riverside washing and stroll the old street. 11. 30 Lunch at Zhou’s Blood Tofu. 13:30 Visit Sichuan King Temple, admire the ancient architecture, and enjoy the osmanthus fragrance. 15:00 Relax at an old teahouse for the afternoon. 17. 30 Watch the sunset by the river. 18. 30 Return to Chengdu. 🏨 Complete Your Trip with a Stay in Chengdu|Heguang Full-Service Package✨ After your visit, return to Heguang Hotel on Jiànshè Road: ✅ The concierge checks the weather in advance—cloudy days make for better photos in Xinchang. ✅ RTX5070 for editing your cultural and documentary photos. ✅ Zero-pressure mattress to help you unwind. ✅ Night market downstairs at Jiànshè Road for a late-night snack. Heguang·ALIENSPACE Alienware Gaming Hotel (Chengdu Jiànshè Road Dongjiao Memory Branch) ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Pitfalls ❌ Don’t buy "handmade twists" on the main street; most are mass-produced. ❌ Skip the "Wupeng Boat Experience"—80 yuan for a short ride. Walking along the river is more enjoyable. ❌ Local eateries close early, around 3 p.m., so don’t miss lunch. ✅ Wear casual clothes and avoid high heels; the stone-paved streets are uneven. Bring a small bag to carry some fresh local vegetables home.

Nearby, you'll find CYPARK, a trendy district that's great for wandering. When you're tired, find a cozy corner to rest and soak in the unique slow-paced charm of South Chengdu. As evening approaches, head toward the Financial City area for the highlight of the day: the Twin Towers' light show! When the lights come on, the dazzling cityscape is truly breathtaking—a romantic symbol of Chengdu's South Gate. Nearby is Dayuan, a foodie haven in South Chengdu with so many options you'll be spoiled for choice. No trip is complete without indulging in local cuisine! Start with authentic Sichuan dishes like shredded pork in garlic sauce, boiled spicy beef, and mapo tofu. Each bite bursts with the signature spicy and savory Sichuan flavors. If you still have room, dive into a hot pot skewer feast. The bubbling red oil broth is irresistible—just toss in skewers of beef, tripe, and celtuce, then dip them in a fragrant sesame oil sauce. It's spicy, satisfying, and warms you up from the inside out. After a hearty meal, head back to the hotel for some well-deserved rest. This is where the real surprise awaits! The hotel is equipped with upgraded hardware, including 5060/5070 graphics cards and 400Hz high-refresh-rate monitors. The keyboard and mouse feel great, and the gaming visuals are buttery smooth with no lag. The rooms are clean, well-lit, and comfortable, so you can relax right after gaming without needing to travel elsewhere. The whole trip feels so much more seamless and enjoyable. No need to rush around—this itinerary packs parks, iconic architecture, city nightscapes, authentic cuisine, and e-sports fun all into one trip. Spend your day immersed in city walks and photography, then game with friends at night. With food, accommodation, and entertainment all in one, I highly recommend this route for anyone visiting Chengdu's South Gate! 📍Pro Tips: Visit the Twin Towers at dusk for the best light show. Go for skewers during off-peak hours. Book your hotel room in advance, and don't forget to request high-spec gaming setups if you want the best experience!

You guys, I’ve found such a "split personality" yet addictive way to experience Chengdu. I stayed at the Heguang ALIENSPACE E-sports Hotel on Tianfu 1st Street, and the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a space-themed corridor and alien-inspired design—the futuristic vibes are off the charts. The room is equipped with an RTX 5060 + 240Hz high-refresh-rate screen, the mechanical keyboard feels solid, gaming is buttery smooth, the Xiaodu smart home system responds to every command, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a high-altitude view of the south side of the city. I originally just wanted to "chill and game," but I discovered that the walkable area downstairs hides a super relaxing route through the south side. 🚶♀️ A 5-minute walk to dive into the local Chengdu vibe The hotel is right next to Shihao Plaza—no need for a taxi or navigation, just walk downstairs and turn the corner. The 1,500 sqm giant crosswalk in the North Plaza is a hidden spot for street photography; just walking across it gives you that cool, trendy vibe. The snack street on the basement level is the kind of delicious spot locals keep to themselves: Ye Popo’s Bobo Chicken with its fragrant chili oil, and Ju Popo’s ice jelly with brown sugar and chewy glutinous rice cakes are perfect for cleansing the palate. After you’ve had your fill, grab some snacks on the way back to the hotel—you’ll have everything you need for a late-night gaming session. 🌿 A 10-minute walk to stumble into a "Little Jiangnan" in Chengdu Walk a bit further from Shihao Plaza, and the vibe suddenly shifts from a commercial district to Tiexiang Temple Water Street. With its black-tiled roofs, white walls, and small bridges over flowing water, all set against the backdrop of the south side’s office buildings, there’s a wonderful contrast. Be sure to time your visit for 6:00 PM when the lights come on; the lanterns and the reflections on the water create an incredible atmosphere. Spend 15 yuan at Chenjin Tea House for a bowl of covered-bowl tea, watch a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance, or just sit by the water and zone out—the tension from your gaming session will instantly melt away. The second phase is less crowded, and the red walls and dark tiles are perfect for traditional or "New Chinese" style photos. I recommend going between 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM when the light is softest. ✨ Back to the hotel to continue the cyber vibe After strolling back from the water street, the hotel’s space-themed corridor takes on a whole new look under the evening lights—another great photo opportunity. With a 24-hour front desk and robot delivery service, you don’t have to worry about gaming until the early hours. The best part is the next morning: pull back the curtains to see the skyline of the south side. It feels like last night’s tea and keyboard clicks happened in two parallel worlds—but here on Tianfu 1st Street, they’re just a cup of tea apart. 💡 Honest thoughts If you’re looking for a way to experience Chengdu without rushing around, this hotel’s location basically fuses the e-sports hotel experience with the south side’s shopping and dining scene. The Zen-like atmosphere during the day, the lakeside sunset in the evening, and the cyber-gaming sessions late at night are all within walking distance or a one-stop subway ride. It’s perfect for lazy travelers who don’t want to plan an itinerary but still want to get great photos and just chill.
Huge complex with lots of pandas and other animals. Worth every second of visit!
_TI***akDujiangyan is truly the greatest water conservancy project. Li Bing deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. The wisdom of the ancients is truly admirable! The only thing I'm not entirely satisfied with is that the shuttle bus from the exit to the entrance of the scenic area costs 10 yuan, which is a bit expensive. I hope this can be improved.
Ian～SisiÇin'in Sichuan eyaletinde yer alan Qingcheng Shan (Qingcheng Dağı), Taoizmin doğduğu kutsal merkezlerden biri olarak sarp tepeleri, yoğun yeşil ormanları ve antik tapınaklarıyla büyüleyici bir dağ cennetidir. Sisler altındaki yürüyüş parkurlarında doğayla baş başa kalmak ve Daoist felsefesinin huzurlu atmosferini solumak için keşfedilmesi gereken eşsiz bir kültürel ve doğal mirastır!
Atilla57Check out Du Fu Thatched Cottage! ✅ A large garden in the heart of the city, with amazing greenery, perfect for a leisurely stroll 😌 The thatched cottages, red walls, and bamboo groves are all photogenic. I used to find Du Fu's poems difficult to understand when I studied them, but after visiting in person, I'm deeply moved. If you enjoy tranquility and appreciate classical poetry, this is a great place to unwind; those just looking for a lively atmosphere might find it a bit too quiet.
Anonymous userOutstanding. Safe,clean,welcoming staff,definitely recommend it.
_TI***zhThe scenery is beautiful, with the forests ablaze with autumn colors and the sky a clear blue. However, once you arrive at Shanghaizi, you should be allowed to choose between walking or taking a 30-yuan electric cart, as the distance isn't far.

M88***09Wenshufang — a colorful historic quarter right next to Wenshu Monastery. Narrow traditional-style lanes, souvenir shops, teahouses, and plenty of street food. Noisy, crowded, and full of atmosphere — a striking contrast to the silence behind the monastery walls. A great spot to stroll, grab a bite, and pick up souvenirs.
jelly_fishjÇin'in Dujiangyan kentinde yer alan Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding Dujiangyan Breeding Yefang Research Center (halk arasında bilinen adıyla Panda Vadisi), dev pandaların doğal ortama yeniden kazandırılması ve vahşi yaşam araştırmaları için kurulmuş harika bir koruma ve gözlem merkezidir. Ormanlık dağ yamacına kurulu bu huzurlu vadi, ziyaretçilere pandaları daha doğal ve sakin bir yaşam alanında gözlemleme fırsatı sunar.
