Things to do in Hejiang

It's very beautiful and relatively uncommercialized. It's where local residents live. The mutton in red soup is so delicious. There is a shuttle bus from Luzhou City, which costs 16 yuan per person, which is not bad. It's not very convenient to call a taxi locally.

Fubao Ancient Town is located in Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province. It is the gateway to the national Fubao Forest Park. The ancient town was built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty and has a long history. The ancient buildings in the ancient town are built against the mountain and are basically well preserved. There are many things to see!

It is said that the Shuitianyi Pavilion on Bijia Mountain is very beautiful. Is it true?

Visiting the Luzhou Laojiao 1573 Old Distillery and tasting the original 68-degree liquor, it was very sweet and fragrant. The entire scenic area was filled with the aroma of liquor. Since we were already there, we bought some liquor coffee and even had it refilled on the spot – a truly memorable experience.

This place is primarily for those seeking a refined, scholarly atmosphere. It's similar to a park; if you enjoy Du Fu's poetry, you can take your time to read and appreciate it, then stroll around. The snack stall near the north entrance is quite good, but unfortunately, time was too tight, so I didn't have time to go there for lunch.

The highlights are the three-hour round trip by scenic shuttle bus, and the 40-minute queue for the cable car up and 50-minute queue for the cable car down during the off-season. The Golden Summit is indeed very beautiful, but the total time spent visiting is only one hour, while the transportation takes five hours.

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

Overall, the explanation was good and very detailed, covering many historical anecdotes. Without the explanation, it would have been a rushed experience, and my impression of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was far from reality 😅 I've really forgotten all my history. How can you come to Chengdu without visiting the Wuhou Shrine? And you definitely need to listen to a guided tour when you visit Wuhou Shrine. Because I was traveling with elderly people, I chose a private guided tour. What I didn't understand was that they never charged extra for the headsets, which was awkward and uncomfortable.

Amazing Experience at Leshan Giant Buddha – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience! The entire attraction is very well organized, with active, helpful, and professional staff. The tourist facilities and guidance are excellent, and the ticket prices are very reasonable.The Leshan Giant Buddha itself is absolutely breathtaking! I also visited the Oriental Buddha Capital, which was incredibly magnificent and impressive. The boat cruise to admire the Giant Buddha from the river was another highlight — convenient, comfortable, safe, and definitely worth experiencing.I highly recommend spending a full day here to fully enjoy both the Leshan Giant Buddha and the Oriental Buddha Capital, including the scenic boat cruise.Overall, an incredible experience, excellent value for money, and definitely a must-visit destination in Sichuan, China!

The scenery is nice, but it gets monotonous after a while. Be prepared for a long walk, at least three hours. Halfway through the journey, everyone is basically just waiting to reach the exit; it's really tiring, with all the ups and downs. There's a small shop right outside the entrance, but the items aren't cheap. I suggest walking a little further out; there are plenty of food stalls there.
