Off-the-beaten-path Ancient Towns near Chengdu | Xieyuan Ancient Town

Holle～Hello everyone! This is Xiaxia, taking you to explore the hidden gems around Dujiangyan and its vicinity Located at the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, known as the 'first town to enter the mountains', Xieyuan Town in Dayi County, Chengdu, boasts gray bricks and black tiles, ancient trees reaching the sky, exuding a simple and serene charm. We went to Daping Village to see the plum blossoms, and on the way back, we took a stroll through the town. Although it is an ancient town, the buildings are newly constructed, but there are still many photogenic spots in the town. However, now is the off-season, and many shops in the town are closed. Summer is the peak season here, with a lot of people coming to play in the water. 🌈Highlight Features: The villages around Xieyuan Town were once dominated by coal mining. From a residential resettlement site to becoming a popular check-in spot on the internet, from 'living off industry' to 'living off tourism', it is neither a traditional scenic spot nor has it undergone large-scale commercial development. Xieyuan Town has introduced a visionary and promising social investment management team, setting up 22 boutique projects along the main tourist route, such as Shadow Water Bar, Heizi Perspective, Artistic Homestays, and 720° Cloud Photography, making the slow life of the countryside a fashion, where you can enter, sit down, and stay. ✅Address: Xieyuan Ancient Town, Dayi County ✅Transportation: It is recommended to drive there, just navigate to 【Xieyuan Ancient Town】 ✅Admission: Free ✨Tips: 1️⃣It is not recommended to go there especially for a visit now, but you can stop by if you are going to Xiling Snow Mountain or other scenic areas around Dayi County. 2️⃣️There are many homestays in the town, all of which seem quite distinctive.
