Langzhong Ancient Town

⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: The ancient city of Langzhong is really nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, surrounded by the Jialing River on three sides. Inside the ancient city, there are attractions such as Zhang Fei's Tomb and the Gongyuan. 🚗Transportation strategy: Take the high-speed train to Langzhong, and it's a half-hour taxi ride to the ancient city. During holidays, the traffic is very congested, buses are inconvenient, taxis are not very convenient, and most taxis you try to hail won't stop, and it's hard to get a ride on ride-hailing apps. 🕙Opening hours: Open all day 💰Ticket price: Not detailed, I have a concession certificate, so I don't have to pay for tickets. 🌟Highlights: Zhang Fei beef and white sugar steamed buns are delicious, but I wouldn't recommend the mushy beef noodles. 📌Small Tips: It's very suitable for a vacation, there are many tourists. If you can avoid the holidays, a five-star hotel only costs three to four hundred yuan, which is a great deal.

Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people, and the origin of Spring Festival can be traced back to the Spring Festival elder· astronomer Luo Xiahong. More than two thousand years ago, Luo Xiahong created the 'Taichu Calendar' in Langzhong, which marked the beginning of the Spring Festival. At that time, Langzhong was one of the most developed regions in ancient astronomy. ⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed Address: Langzhong, Sichuan 🕙Opening Hours: All day 💰Ticket Price: Free 🌟Highlights: The birthplace of Spring Festival

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.

It is recommended to buy a package ticket for about 100 yuan. It is recommended to travel by high-speed rail, and the high-speed rail station is only a ten-minute drive from the ancient city.

Exclusive reveal! The most popular travel destination this Spring Festival is surprisingly...Travel Guide Festival Travel Recommendation Officer

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,

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!
