Langzhong Ancient Town

The temple is located in the heart of the Langzhong Ancient city. This temple was dedicated to worship Confucious. To get to the city gate you can take a taxi, but to enter the city and reach to the temple you’ll need about 7 minutes to walk. 🚶🏼‍♂️ The temple was built in Tang dynasty, and after the reconstruction, was open for visitors. Tickets’ cost is about 40 yuan each 🎟 It would be better if you buy the package of tickets for the Ancient city, can visit several sightseeings only for 110 yuan!!! The entrance of the is very beautiful! The area of the temple usually isn’t crowded so we took some nice pictures here 📸 Worth to visit once! #langzhongancienttown #confucious # Temple #scenicspotphotoguide#historicculture#culturalattractions

Aoshan Holly Mountain is located in the ancient part of Langzhong, a historical and traditional city of Sichuan province. ⛰The place is quite beautiful and mystique, full of Chinese traditional temples and statues. 🎟 The tickets cost 50 yaun each but we had a guide who showed us around and told the story of this place. This scenic are isn’t usually crowded, what gives you opportunity to take good pictures of the place, even though you are not allowed to take pictures at the areas of temples and inside of those. 📸 From the top of a tower is opening a marvelous panoramic view of Jialing river and the whole ancient city 🏙 The guide adviced us to pray in the temple and then we were fooled by listening to the fortune teller and paid additional 100 yuan (we chose the lowest price) to the temple. 🔮 Excluding this experience, I liked the whole area! Will recommend! 👍 #scenicspotphotoguide#culturalattractions#themepark#nationalpark

They are: 'vinegar sold as a beverage', 'beef smoked until black', 'white sugar steamed buns stamped for sale', and 'hot served cold noodles'. I won't go into the specifics of their oddities here; you should try them yourself.

As one of the four great ancient cities, Langzhong Ancient City naturally has its city walls, but most of them have been submerged in the long river of history. Near the Langzhong Ancient City Nationality Primary School, there is a section of the ancient city wall, which has been built upon the original foundation and has become a popular spot in the new era. Underneath the city wall, there is a large area of tables and chairs, where the locals' favorite pastime is to sit and drink tea, play cards, and enjoy various authentic and affordable snacks. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed Address: No. 77, South Street, Langzhong City, Nanchong, Sichuan Province 🚗Transportation Strategy: Self-driving 🕙Opening Hours: All day 💰Ticket Price: Free 🌟Highlights: Ancient city wall, leisurely tea-drinking lifestyle

Langzhong Ancient City, an ancient military stronghold of the Ba and Shu states, is known as the hometown of Chinese Spring Festival culture and one of the four great ancient cities of China. The architectural style of the ancient city reflects the ancient Chinese concept of residential Feng Shui. With a chessboard-like layout, it integrates styles from both the north and south, forming a distinctive architectural group with 'half-pearl', '品' (pin)-shaped, and '多' (duo)-shaped patterns. Inside the ancient city, there are attractions such as the Han Huanhou Temple, the Northern Sichuan Road Office, and the Gongyuan (Imperial Examination Hall). Travel: 🚄Chengdu East to Langzhong takes about 3 hours. After exiting the station, take a taxi to the ancient city for about 10 yuan. Due to traffic control during the National Day period, there are detours, and the taxi fare is about 15 yuan. Stay: Homestays within the ancient city. 1. On October 3rd, we stayed at 'Our Home (Langzhong Ancient City Branch)', which cost over 400 yuan per night. The environment was very good: clean, with comfortable beds, and the room was simply and elegantly furnished, with a touch of Japanese style. It is recommended for families with children. The owner is very enthusiastic and a psychotherapist. Room cards are drawn by guests, and each card has a text that you can read to see if it matches your current mood (children also get room cards), which adds a sense of ceremony. The only downside is that the rooms are not soundproof, but this is also a characteristic of wooden ancient city buildings. 2. On October 4th, we stayed at the Langzhong Hou Family Courtyard Inn. The entire courtyard has a very grand style, reminiscent of a wealthy family from ancient times. We stayed in the central courtyard, which was quaint and serene, with a swing downstairs that the children liked, although the bed boards were very hard. Tour: It is recommended to buy a through ticket, 110 yuan for adults, half-price for children over 6 years old. Tickets can also be purchased online; I bought mine at the ticket office below Huaguang Tower. Day1: We arrived at the ancient city in the afternoon and strolled around to get a rough idea of the location and routes of each attraction. In the evening, we climbed Huaguang Tower. The stairs to the tower are narrow and almost vertical, so we had to climb up using both hands and feet. Children must be careful. From the top of the tower, you can overlook the scenery of the ancient city, which is very beautiful. Day2: Zhongtian Tower - Gongyuan - Langzhong Confucian Temple (under renovation during National Day) - Langzhong Tengwang Pavilion (outside the ancient city) - Nanjin Pass Ancient Town Zhongtian Tower is similar to Huaguang Tower, but it is the center of the entire ancient city. Tengwang Pavilion is not far from the ancient city, and it costs about 10 yuan by taxi. This is the Tengwang Pavilion written about by Du Fu, not the one by Wang Bo, but both were built by Li Yuanying. I must complain that the stairs were so tiring to climb that I strongly recommend visiting it last in your itinerary. Nanjin Pass Ancient Town is not worth visiting unless you go at night for a performance or to the viewing platform. It's a small ancient town that you can see in one glance, but it feels very nice. Day3: Han Huanhou Temple - Northern Sichuan Road Office - Langzhong Ancient City Geological Mineral Museum - Feng Shui Museum. Each museum is quite nice and worth experiencing. Overall, the ancient city is well worth visiting and revisiting. If you have time, staying for a while would be a great experience. For those who like to take photos, you can bring your own Hanfu; there are also many Hanfu rental shops in the ancient city. For food, you can eat as you walk, trying Fangsuo Guokui with cold noodles, Zhang Fei beef cold noodles, Langyuan Sanjue soup, as well as flower buns (you can learn about the history of flower buns, which is interesting) and rose vinegar.

After two visits to Langzhong, I have stayed in old houses within the ancient city. This time, I checked into the Kong Family Mansion, which is also an ancient house with a history of more than four hundred years. According to records, it was initially built by the descendants of Confucius during the Ming Dynasty, and it has been continuously expanded and repaired over the years. The area has been enlarged, and at one point, it served as the residence for officials in Northern Sichuan. The B&B has maintained the original architectural style of the ancient building, and the elements related to Confucius inside are also well represented. The overall experience of staying here was quite good. The housekeeper service was meticulous, and the room environment was also quite nice. The facilities were quite convenient, and the cats and dogs were so adorable. However, the downside is the lack of a playback device; it would have been better if there was a projector. That's it,

🚄Arrive at Langzhong Station by high-speed train The first thing to do after getting off is, as always, to have a meal💪🏻 The first meal is at Li's Kitchen, where the portions are generous, the taste is good, and two people can order special dishes for only about 100 yuan, which is quite a bargain! Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Then we went to a store near Zhongtian Tower to have a glass ring💍 custom-made. There are many styles of rings, and you can also bring a picture for customization. Just tell the owner the style you like and arrange a time to pick it up. Next, we started the little train journey of walking, eating, and drinking, and went to many shops recommended by everyone. Here are some shares below👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 1️⃣Ice Snow Angel They give a lot of ingredients for the burnt grass jelly, but there is less coconut milk, and it's a bit dry to eat, with an average taste Recommended rating⭐️⭐️ 2️⃣Chuan Mei Fancy Ice Jelly A chain store from Leshan, the taste is similar, if you want to try it, you can go Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3️⃣Fang Guokui I ate at the one next to the Han Huanhou Temple, and the taste was amazing! The Guokui is especially crispy, and the cold noodles with beef Guokui I bought for 20💰 were pretty good👍🏻 Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4️⃣Sad Cold Noodles Also ate at the one next to the Han Huanhou Temple, the taste is good, friends who can't eat spicy can ask for less chili Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5️⃣You Xiang It's the same store as Fang Guokui, the taste is average, maybe because I'm not used to it as a foreigner Recommended rating⭐️⭐️ 6️⃣Zheng He's White Sugar Steamed Bun It's a bit like the old-fashioned steamed buns from childhood, quite chewy, we ate the osmanthus flavor, 2 yuan each, you can buy one to try first, and if you like it, buy more Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7️⃣Jiang Fried Sauce The mixed sauce noodles taste very good, but the garlic flavor is too strong, friends who don't like garlic remember to tell the boss specifically (there are many Langzhong store doors, recommend the one at Zhuangyuan Fang because it's close) Qi Xing pig's trotters must be ordered, a whole pig's trotter is only 25, especially soft and glutinous. Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8️⃣Delicious Jia Langzhong Beef Noodles It's the unique kind of mushy beef noodles here, the taste is super good, and the cost performance is very high, located opposite the Shadow Puppetry Museum. Recommended rating⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Other musings: ❤️The second day was mainly spent wandering around the attractions in the ancient city. The recommended route is to start from where you eat beef noodles, Guanghua Tower→Shadow Puppetry Museum→Gongyuan→Chuanbei Dao Office→Wenmiao (Confucian Temple)→Zhongtian Tower→Han Huanhou Temple→Geological Museum. Basically, there's no need to backtrack. ❤️If you want to visit the attractions of Langzhong Ancient City, it is recommended to buy a combo ticket, which can be purchased on the day you go to the ancient city, as it can be used within three days. By buying in advance, you can go directly to any attractions you happen to like while touring the ancient city! ❤️You must try Langzhong's special drink, mulberry juice vinegar beverage, the taste is super good. At the same time, you can try Langzhong's vinegar foot bath, which is not expensive at 10 yuan per person.

Langzhong Ancient City, a historic and cultural city with a long history, carries a thousand years of stories. Here, ancient buildings are scattered in an orderly fashion, stone-paved roads wind and twist, and the Jialing River flows gently. Stepping into this ancient city is like traveling through an ancient scroll. In the early morning, the sunlight sprinkles on the ancient streets, awakening the sleeping city. I stroll along the stone-paved road, with quaint shops on both sides, red lanterns hanging at the doors, and signs with words like 'Vinegar' and 'Zhang Fei Beef'. Langzhong vinegar, with its rich and sour taste, is one of the city's specialties. I enter a vinegar workshop, and the aroma of vinegar intoxicates me. The owner enthusiastically introduces the characteristics and brewing techniques of various vinegars, and I can't help but admire the exquisite traditional craftsmanship. Continuing forward, I arrive at the Han Huanhou Temple, built to commemorate Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. The architecture inside the temple is solemn and dignified, with a heavy atmosphere. Gazing at the statue of Zhang Fei, it's as if I can see his valiant and heroic demeanor from the past. In the adjacent exhibition hall, Zhang Fei's life and historical contributions are displayed, giving me a deeper understanding of this legendary figure. After leaving the Han Huanhou Temple, I come to the banks of the Jialing River. The river flows leisurely, with boats shuttling on the water. The distant mountains undulate, and the green trees provide shade, forming a beautiful landscape painting. I board a pleasure boat, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river and the pleasant feeling of the breeze on my face. The clear water of the Jialing River allows me to see the bottom, and the fish play in the water, which is refreshing. As night falls, the ancient city is brilliantly lit. Lanterns on both sides of the ancient street light up, illuminating the entire street. I visit an inn to taste the local specialties, and the deliciousness of Zhang Fei beef is memorable. After dinner, I sit on the balcony of the inn, watching the night view of the ancient city, immersed in the tranquil atmosphere. Langzhong Ancient City, like a dazzling pearl, is nestled on the banks of the Jialing River. It has both a long history and culture, as well as beautiful natural scenery. It made me feel the blend of ancient and modern, and it left a deep impression on me. When bidding farewell to Langzhong Ancient City, I carry with me full memories, looking forward to the next encounter.

Langzhong Ancient City is one of the four great ancient cities of China, a small town with a thousand years of history. It has a long history and cultural heritage, making it a charming ancient city. Departing from Chengdu on Saturday and staying for one night is just perfect to fully appreciate its charm. . Attraction Recommendations: Zhang Fei Temple, Chuannan Confucian Academy, Huaguang Tower/Zhongtian Tower (choose one, the latter offers a view of the Jialing River), Baita Mountain (for a panoramic view of the old city area) ps: The ancient city is free to enter, but tickets are required for attractions, with a combined ticket costing 110. It is recommended not to buy it; just purchase individual tickets for the attractions you are interested in. . Food Recommendations: 1 White Sugar Steamed Bun Said to be one of the three specialties of the ancient city, it can be found everywhere in the city. In fact, it's just a stamped bun, quite fluffy and soft, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. 2 Fangsuo Guokui This Guokui is really crispy! It crumbles with a bite! You can try it with Zhang Fei beef and couple's lung slices, the meat paired with the cold dish is very refreshing. It's a bit spicy, so if you can't handle spice, let the owner know in advance~ The shop also sells cold noodles and such, making for an easy lunch with braised beef. 3 Yinxian Beef Noodle Soup Located just outside the ancient city, walk straight from Zhongtian Tower and turn right after exiting the ancient city. It's a soup noodle, but the soup base is different from what I've had before, very thick similar to the texture of spicy soup. The noodles are prepared in advance, and when you go to get them, the lady pours the soup base and sprinkles green onions on top. The taste is a bit unique, you can add a spoonful of garlic sauce + chili powder to mix, which makes it taste even better. And they only sell this one type of noodle, a small bowl costs 6 yuan with 2 pieces of beef~ Note: They only operate until 1:30 pm~ . Accommodation Recommendations: There are many homestays and hotels within the ancient city. It is recommended to choose a larger hotel for a much better environment and plenty of photo opportunities. The common issue is poor soundproofing, but after a tiring day of exploring, it doesn't really affect a good night's sleep. . Transportation There are 3 high-speed train services from Chengdu to Langzhong every day, departing at 10:33/11:53/18:05; there are 4 return services, departing at: 7:28/11:49/14:55/15:33, with the journey taking about 2.5 hours.
