Free check-in at the old street town in Chengdu

Chengdu Surroundings - Small and less crowded ancient town: 'Xilai Ancient Town' Address: Pujiang County, Chengdu City About an hour and a half away from the city, this place is not like those famous ancient towns, which are overly commercialized. The 200-meter-long old street, with Wenfeng Street, Boji Street, and Longyan Street, the ancient town is relatively small, and it won't take long to stroll around. There are quite a few stalls, and you can buy anything you like. Don't expect too much, there is a river, you can walk along the river. Recommended reasons: More than 1700 years of history, a national key cultural relic. Less crowded, not heavy commercial atmosphere. Thousand-year-old banyan tree, small bridges and flowing water. Travel guide: 1⃣️Old Street Wenfeng Street, Boji Street, Longyan Street... The streets and alleys crisscross. Walking in the streets, on both sides are the ancient wooden buildings, as if you are in a painting. Under the eaves of the lanterns, there are always residents of Xilai. Why not go into a teahouse and listen to the stories of a hundred-year-old shop, let your thoughts fly with the faint tea fragrance. 2⃣️Wenfeng Tower Don't underestimate this 13-meter ancient tower, it is a key protected cultural relic. To show respect for words, the ancients would burn paper in the Wenfeng Tower, so it is also called 'Cherish Word Palace'. 3⃣️Linxi Tower Xilai Ancient Town has both the classical charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the youth and vitality of modern times. The design-filled Linxi Tower is the best proof. The bottom of the tower is the Xilai Culture Theme Museum. The Tang Dynasty Buddha statue tells the thousand-year history of Xilai. Go up the steps and you can overlook the old street and take in the beautiful scenery of the ancient town. 4⃣️Ancient Banyan Tree The most amazing thing is the 12 ancient banyans by the river. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the banyan trees are still lush and full of life. On the branches, there are red ribbons filled with blessings. Recommended food: Tofu Chicken, Guandu Baba
