Deyang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Sanxingdui Archaeological Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Sanxingdui Museum is really worth a visit!
After thousands of years of slumber, it has awakened to astonish the world! The Sanxingdui Museum is definitely worth the trip!
🎫 Make sure to book in advance through the mini-program, as tickets are generally not available on-site. The full ticket is 72 yuan, and you can enter directly with your ID card without needing to exchange for a ticket. On-site reservations are not available for the guided tours; the official ones can only be booked on-site. There are quite a lot of people, and the queue is quite long. In the end, I had to give up and rent an electronic guide. There are also online comments that you can find external guides, but the quality varies, so be careful to discern.
🚗 Departing from Mianyang, it takes about 30 minutes to reach Guanghan North by high-speed rail, and then about 20 minutes by taxi🚕. There are many taxis at the high-speed rail station, so it's quite convenient to take one. After arriving, you need to walk across to enter the museum.
🍲 We went in the morning and simply bought some food inside the park, including burgers, fried chicken, convenience meals, and the coffee shop had sandwiches. The roads around are under construction, and there really isn't much to eat, so you can bring your own.
🤓 The crowd was okay in the morning, but there were indeed many students there for study tours, which was a bit noisy. The museum is most crowded around 2-3 pm, and the area around the museum's treasures is completely filled with people.
📸 The first and second floors are very crowded. If you lower the exposure when taking photos, you can get a picture of the artifacts without people in it, and have a moment alone with the artifacts, which is quite shocking. To think that such a level of craftsmanship was achieved thousands of years ago is truly remarkable! I've been catching up on documentaries about Sanxingdui recently, and I suggest everyone watch them before going, as it makes the visit more meaningful. The temporary exhibition hall on the -1 floor is very well set up and is a must-see, refer to P15.
🏠 The architecture of the new museum is very photogenic, looking down from above, I personally think it resembles the universe (Sanxingdui always brings to mind aliens), with its spiral patterns, it's stunning! There is also a small grove of trees in the plaza outside the museum, which is also great for taking photos!
In summary, Sanxingdui is definitely worth a visit, but it's best to avoid the crowds, otherwise, it can be really tiring and rushed, and you won't be able to hear many of the explanations.

Explore the origins of the ancient Shu civilization, providing solid evidence of the diversity within the unified Chinese civilization!
The Sanxingdui site, representing the ancient Shu civilization, is part of the cradle of Chinese civilization and is hailed as the 'source of the Yangtze River civilization'.
The Sanxingdui site is located on the southern bank of the Yazi River in Guanghan, Sichuan, and its cultural aspects range from the Baodun culture, the Fish and Bird Phase III culture, the Sanxingdui culture, to the Shierqiao culture.
There is not only the Cancong culture represented by the bronze figure with protruding eyes, characteristic of the gathering and hunting era, but also the Fish and Bird culture represented by the image of an osprey, typical of the fishing and hunting era, as well as the Du Yu culture of the agricultural era, represented by the image of a hawk-headed cuckoo.
The gold artifacts of Sanxingdui, represented by gold staffs, gold masks, and gold face covers, display a gold craftsmanship that is astonishing. The phenomenon of a large number of ivory and seashells being buried together is very rare in the history of world bronze civilizations.
The bronze human figures express different statuses and hierarchical power structures through their crowns, hairstyles, and clothing. Eventually, the secular royal power, represented by braided hair, replaced the divine authority represented by hairpins.
The ancient Shu people worshipped the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and believed in dragons, tigers, snakes, and birds, and revered their ancestral deities. Sun worship and sacred tree worship were at the core of the ancient Shu civilization's belief system.
In mythology, the sacred trees were 'Fusang' in the east, 'Jianmu' in the center, and 'Ruomu' in the west. The sacred tree was a material carrier that embodied the ancient Shu's cosmological views, reflecting their concept of communicating between heaven and earth.
The titles of the successive Shu kings throughout the ancient Shu kingdom were Cancong, Baiguan, Fish and Bird, Du Yu (the Watchful Emperor), and Bie Ling (the Enlightened King). After the Enlightened King succeeded Du Yu, the throne was passed down for 12 generations until 316 BC, when Qin conquered the Shu kingdom.

While ticking off the sights on a commando-style tour, don't forget to take your time and enjoy the views. It's just that Chongqing is a bit tough on the legs. The mild spiciness of Sichuan and Chongqing is something to savor🤏

PLOG | What we played in Chengdu for an extreme two days and one night
1️⃣ As soon as we arrived in Chengdu, we rushed to the Sanxingdui site because we were very interested in Sanxingdui, but it's a bit far from the center of Chengdu. You can take a bus that goes directly to Sanxingdui, with a student ticket 🎫💰36. Once inside, you can take photos with your ticket and pick up a photo pendant at the exit. The exhibition hall only has two floors and is not particularly large, but the artifacts inside are very shocking. There are many explanations at the entrance, and you can also pay 💰10 to listen to explanations through a mini-program; the souvenirs inside are also a must-buy.
2️⃣ We went to eat at the Daiqian Jin Chuan Chuan recommended by Mi Zijun near Taikoo Li. The decoration style is quite trendy, but unexpectedly delicious. ⁉️ If you can't eat spicy food, definitely don't put pea pods in the spicy pot, a painful lesson from a Fujianese who can't handle much spice.
3️⃣ On the third day, we went to see the giant pandas 🐼, also taking the Panda Base bus. The pandas are really too cute, but we didn't see Hua Hua. When we went to see Hua Hua, he was sleeping, and we would have had to wait a long time. We were in a hurry, so we didn't go, but we saw many other little pandas, which were also very cute, including the red panda, which is a bit different from the traditional panda, but also very cute 😍.
4️⃣ After seeing the pandas, we took a bus to Taikoo Li and ate at Tao De Clay Pot. The service was very good, and the staff was very enthusiastic. We ordered a lot of dishes, but they were just average. Only the wild mushroom buns and garlic shrimp are recommended; the sour horn juice was too sweet.
5️⃣ Then we went to the Wide and Narrow Alleys, where the commercial atmosphere felt very strong. We bought a lot of souvenirs at the trendy Grandpa Panda's place, the green panda bags are just too cute, but there are many fakes there, so remember to look carefully.
6️⃣ We went to BM, where the staff were really good-looking. The lighting in the BM fitting room is great, making people look incredibly beautiful, but many clothes were out of stock, and overall there weren't as many as on the APP.
8️⃣ In the end, not knowing what to eat, we went to Wanda Plaza and had some Dian Dou De. Let me tell you, Dian Dou De really should be eaten in Guangdong; it felt too greasy, and we were drinking tea the whole time.
We also drank Grandma's Handmade, which was very substantial. We ordered the classic style, rice sesame and longan gardenia coconut, none of which were disappointing, very delicious.
P10 is just some takeout we had, you can try Chengdu's Milk Tea Tree Xia, we ordered two cups and neither were disappointing; we had Domino's, flattened hawthorn, yam beans; and takeout roasted duck, all very delicious.
I still want to revisit the city of Chengdu.

Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The heavenly and earthly realm of the treasure town Deyang
I accidentally got to know this treasure town - 📍Deyang, which is an hour away from Chengdu.
📌Deyang Stone Carving Park
Deyang Stone Carving Park is located in the city of Deyang, named for the stone carving art wall in the park. The art wall is 1080 meters long and 7 meters high, composed of large-scale relief group images, arches, stone pillars, etc., said to be the largest modern art stone carving sculpture group in our country.
A city park that looks ordinary without any highlights, but walking into it really shocks the artist's imagination and superb skills. Large continuous ancient Roman-style stone pillars and Baroque-style buildings, carved with countless well-known ancient Chinese mythological stories and stories of national unity, as if you have come to a mythological world that combines Chinese and Western cultures.
Choose to arrive in the evening, without the internet celebrities who come to check in, only some local residents strolling after dinner and some martial arts school students practicing.
📌Confucius Temple Square
I have been to the Confucius Temple in many cities, and the overall architectural style is not much different. The Confucius Temple Square during the day does not seem to have any special attraction. However, after nightfall, the Confucius Temple Square seems to have a different vitality, and it has become the most joyful nightlife square in the entire city. Small vendors selling all kinds of cheap small commodities, parents catching fish in front of the pond with their children, a food stall where you can eat all kinds of authentic local food, and even groups of square dance aunts are a beautiful landscape. Perhaps this is the magic of travel. Seeing familiar things in unfamiliar places can also arouse your deep curiosity.
DOMINIC NUNEZ
The Moments are flooded with inquiries about the 'Mini Angkor Wat' that is just an hour away from Chengdu
DeYang Stone Carving Park is scattered with stone carving works,
these stone carvings are all very exquisite and unique,
really giving off a bit of an 'Angkor Wat' vibe, very impressive,
because of these stone carvings,
there are many children who come here to sketch.
The Stone Carving Park itself is a city park,
besides viewing the stone carvings, you can also rest in the park,
spending an afternoon sitting and experiencing the locals' leisure time,
is also very pleasant and comfortable.

Deyang Stone Carving Park, a journey through a thousand years of mythology
🔵 The most famous feature of the park is the giant stone sculpture. It consists of five groups of large bas-reliefs, thirty-five wooden arches, and thirty-two coiled dragon stone columns, making it the largest group of modern urban art stone carvings in China.
🌟 The park's landscapes include the Ox Gate, Song of Life, Art Corridor, Light of Wisdom, Chinese Soul, and the Twelve Zodiac Pillars, among others. Find your zodiac sign and go check in! If you look closely, you'll discover that each group of stone carvings has a story. There are ancient Chinese mythological stories, historical figures; see how many you can identify!
🟢 The park is located on the west side of Jing Lake, and a visit to the park can be combined with enjoying the scenery of Jing Lake. The park is very quiet, without noise or bustle, with dense banyan trees and yellow podocarpus trees, their branches intertwined like umbrellas, covering the walkways, and large grassy areas that are green and fresh. The air is moist, and it seems you can smell the fragrance of grass and trees. Sitting on a bench to rest, or sipping tea next to a table under the shade of trees.
📸 This place is suitable for taking photos and checking in, super photogenic, and also great for family outings. If you bring children, they can feed pigeons in the park, play with the free-roaming white pigeons, really freeing up parents' hands for a leisurely and enjoyable visit.
🌟 The park is very close to the Deyang Confucian Temple, just a 7-minute ride on a shared bike. The Confucian Temple has a snack street, so after visiting the park, you can stroll and eat there, just perfect!

About 1h drive from Chengdu, 15 minutes drive from Sanxingdui
🏡 About the room
The pure white and simple design is very cozy, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the view of the rice fields right from the room! The best part is that each room has its own hot spring, a private hot spring courtyard, which I really like.

Flavorful Forays
The parent-child themed B&B is truly unrivaled!
B&B is my number one choice, just a snap and it's a painting.
Another delightful weekend of 2 days and 1 night
This weekend was full of surprises and beauty
Every weekend, I take the kids to different B&Bs, hotels, or campsites to experience various lifestyles
We've practiced different ways of living and visited countless places
This weekend, we stayed in the countryside
I absolutely adore this place
With the stunning blue sky and white clouds
A casual snap is like an oil painting
❤️❤️❤️ Currently, in my heart, it's a perfect B&B.
It's less than 1h by car from Chengdu 🚗, just off Xindu towards Guanghan direction
Less than 5 kilometers from the B&B is the famous "Sanxingdui Museum". I wanted to take the kids there the next day, but we didn't book the tickets for Sanxingdui in advance
The village is famous for its shrimp ponds
The crayfish 🦞 we eat in summer are all from here
The B&B has no obstructions
You can see wheat fields 🌾 as far as the eye can see
Especially in the month of April
Spring here is truly enjoyable and beautiful.
🏡 We stayed in the largest suite
3 toilets, 2 showers, 2 hot tubs
2 king-size beds of 1.8m
Fully met the needs of our two families to stroll with the kids
Children here can also feed little 🐑 lambs, little white rabbits 🐰, catch crayfish 🦞
Make fans, make glutinous rice cakes, so many parent-child activities
The B&B has a lot of activity space
Honestly, one day is simply not enough
I plan to come back for at least 3 days and 2 nights next time
Otherwise, it's not satisfying at all, the kids are happy and so are we
A parent-child hotel with few people and beautiful scenery, in the rice fields listening to the summer evening breeze and the chirping of insects, watching tired birds return to their nests, fishing for crayfish 🦞, feeding lambs 🐑, rabbits 🐰, and ducklings 🦆. I really love nature. Oh, except for the various flying insects 🦟 that come at you. Bai Manchuan is really bright white. I wonder if someone with OCD can tolerate the fossilized fly kisses on the walls

You can bring a picnic mat to sit on the ground and hold a tea party.

The "Fairy Waterfall" Treasure - Shenpu Gorge
A forgotten hiking secret! Hidden is the "Fairy Waterfall", which has been recommended by the hiking secret spot around Chengdu.
It's truly a treasure, not inferior to Qingcheng Mountain!
Very niche, if it weren't for a local friend telling me, I would have no idea at all.
The cascading waterfall is really spectacular.
Throughout the hiking journey, you can feel the cool breeze generated by the falling waterfall, so comfortable! I can't imagine how joyful it would be to hike here in the summer!!!
🚗How to get there
Navigation: Shenpu Gorge
Self-driving: It only takes about 2 hours to reach from downtown Chengdu
Parking: There are parking lots at both the front and back mountain gates
🔴Travel tips:
1️⃣Navigate to the front mountain gate of Shenpu Gorge by car, park, and then hike upwards for 1-2 hours. Along the way, you are surrounded by waterfalls and green trees, with fresh and pleasant air. You can stop to take photos and rest while hiking.
2️⃣After reaching Jiangjunping, there is a free azalea flower exhibition where you can take photos. From the top of the mountain, it looks like a heart shape, which is very artistic.
3️⃣At Jiangjunping, you can also check in at attractions like the glass bridge, glass slide, and jungle crossing. These activities require a fee to experience, and you can choose to play according to personal preference.
4️⃣Hiking upwards from Jiangjunping, you will pass through a wooden plank path and a small pine forest. A ten-minute hike will take you to a red maple forest, which is very photogenic. Continue upwards for about 5.6km to reach the peak of Tianyu, where you can admire the high mountain azaleas and view the sea of clouds. Along the way, you can pick wild bamboo shoots. The hike takes about 5-6 hours. It is worth noting that the hike to the top to see the high mountain azaleas is quite long and tiring. Those who are physically fit and enjoy climbing can hike up to see it, but those who are not physically able should choose a leisurely route to return down the mountain.
5️⃣There are some moss and slippery roads during the hike, so it is recommended to wear comfortable anti-slip shoes and bring a walking stick.
6️⃣The path is not exposed to the sun, surrounded by green trees, and there is a cool breeze blowing from time to time, which is very refreshing.
7️⃣There is food available at the entrance of the scenic area, which is not expensive. You can also bring your own meals. Hot water is provided for free. It is recommended to carry some water and snacks during the hike to alleviate fatigue and maintain enough energy to continue.
‼️Protecting the ecological environment is everyone's responsibility. Please pack and take your trash down the mountain and dispose of it in the designated trash bins.

Red maple forest: Looking up at General's Terrace, you can see the mountains full of red, a half-hour hike up from the forest wooden walkway will get you there~ The red maples all over the mountains are too photogenic, the wooden house in the middle and the atmosphere of the red maple forest are perfect for ancient style enthusiasts to check in and take photos~
🌟6. Jungle crossing experience, bring your kids for a different immersive experience, thrilling and fun~
🌟7. A trip down is still very relaxing, like me with not so good knees, I chose the easy route, gave up the hiking route of high mountain azaleas, but the easy route can also get the same outdoor fun, all kinds of projects can be experienced, especially suitable for family trips and bringing parents to experience~
