Its the weir in pingLe thats outstanding.

Pingle ancient town is reputed to be 2000 years old. Some of the Ming & Qing era houses still stand .Old cobble roads are so nice to tread on . In 1860, Emperor Tongshi gifted a Leshan bridge, the decorative art fast eroding with time while the bridge still stands . But ... the weir is the most intriguing . How many centuries has it serve the town to control flood & divert water to livable areas.There used to have a signboard saying water was diverted to agricultural areas .Would be fantastic to have local tourguides enlighten all tourists on the purpose & manner of engineering by this weir .

"Charming Qionglai, Enjoy a Trip of Nature and Culture"

Qionglai, a charming ancient city, is like a bright pearl inlaid in Sichuan. Here, you can start an unforgettable journey. Walking into Pingle Ancient Town, the antique streets come into view. The bluestone road is winding and twisting, and the traditional western Sichuan houses on both sides, the wooden doors and windows, and the carved beams and columns all exude a simple atmosphere. The Baimo River runs through the town, and the river is clear and flowing. You can sit in the teahouse by the river, taste a cup of tea, watch the bamboo rafts and waterwheels on the river, and feel the tranquility and leisure. Or stroll in the alleys of the ancient town, explore the ancient temples and stages, and appreciate the long history and culture. Tiantai Mountain is also a highlight of Qionglai.

Hidden from the world, Datong Town, Qionglai.

On my second visit to Datong Ancient Town, apart from the colorful buildings of "Colorful Datong", the streets of the ancient town itself also retain the original wooden buildings of western Sichuan residences, with a touch of commercial atmosphere, and the ancient town was originally designed as a two-horse road, which should have been quite prosperous in the past. There is a Taoji Restaurant in the town, which is said to be the 80th generation descendant of Tao Yuanming. Whether it is true or not, the restaurant can still fill your stomach. There is a Nanmu Tree Ecological Park in the town, which has more than a dozen Nanmu trees over 500 years old, which can barely be embraced by two adults. In addition to playing in Datong Ancient Town, the nearby caves, Shisun Mountain cliff carvings can not be missed. According to the "Lingshan Buddha Stele", there were temples in Shisun Mountain in the second year of Yonglong of Tang Gaozong (682 AD). The grottoes were excavated earlier, and the time of excavation of the cliff statues of Shisun Mountain in Datong should be around the time of Tang Gaozong. On the way to Shisun Mountain, I came across the sign of "Imperial Cypress" and "Imperial Tomb". You may not be able to imagine that this hidden rice field is closely related to Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ancient cypress tree of 1000 years, after years of baptism, silently guards the bamboo forest, which is said to be the imperial tomb of Li Yu. There is also a huge basalt stone, named "Liangong Stone", on which Li Yu left the "Yu Meiren" that has been sung for thousands of years - "Ask the gentleman how much sorrow he can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." Datong is worth immersing in, slowly feeling its historical charm.

Qionglai Stone Village.

The Stone Village is located next to the Hejiang River in Shuguang Village, Shuikou Town, with a total of 25 households, 2 kilometers away from Shuikou Town. This place used to be a main road for the ancient tea-horse road to enter Kangba. The two households with the highest stone walls used to be the accommodation for the porters. The old society was plagued by bandits. Compared with earth walls and wooden fences, stone walls have stronger defensive capabilities. Moreover, it is easy to obtain stones from the river here, so every household has built stone walls. The Stone Village is also called Caiheba, because there were more people with the surname Cai in the past. In 2016, the Stone Village was listed as the first batch of traditional villages in Chengdu. There are still many villagers living in the Stone Village now. The old houses have been maintained to a certain extent. The road is clean and tidy, and it is a characteristic western Sichuan village.

The scenery along the way is beautiful and enjoyable. ### Accommodation recommendation For tourists who want to experience the life of the ancient town in depth, it is a good choice to choose to live in the ancient town. There are many inns with local characteristics, such as "Jiaguan Renjia" and "Old Street Inn". These inns not only retain the traditional architectural style, but also provide comfortable services, allowing you to enjoy convenience and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Of course, if you prefer modern accommodation conditions, you can also choose to stay in a hotel in Qionglai City, which is also very convenient. ### Nearby attractions recommended In addition to the charm of Jiaguan Ancient Town itself, there are some places worth visiting nearby. For example, you can visit Tiantai Mountain nearby to enjoy the natural scenery; or visit Wenjun Well to learn about the story of the talented woman Zhuo Wenjun in the Tang Dynasty; and Pingle Ancient Town, which is also a place full of stories. These places are not far from Jiaguan, and can be arranged for a tour together. Jiaguan Ancient Town attracts tourists from all directions with its unique historical and cultural charm. There are not only beautiful scenery to enjoy, but also stories to listen to. I believe that every visiting friend will find their own touch and memories here. If you are planning an unforgettable cultural journey, consider Jiaguan Ancient Town, I believe it will not disappoint you.

It's so beautiful! Tiantai Mountain is so much fun.

What? Are all my friends in Chengdu having so much fun? Why did I only just discover Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area in Chengdu? 😫 I took a quick look at the online guide and was so surprised! 😍 Every attraction is so beautiful and fun. My favorite is the fir forest, which is super romantic! 💕 The photos are amazing! 📷 I also think that making a wish and praying at Leiyin Temple is a very ceremonial thing. There are so many people on the scene, and everyone feels so devout! 🙏 After these check-ins, there are waterfalls and firefly museums to experience. They are gifts from nature and carefully crafted by the scenic area. We can enjoy such beautiful attractions in our leisure time. Tiantai Mountain is a must-visit for travel!

My friends are going crazy asking me, thinking I went to the city that never sleeps

Every time the weekend comes, my heart, longing to escape the city's hustle and bustle, starts to stir. I always think about taking a walk around the nearby areas, away from the busyness and pressure of work, to feel that desirable atmosphere. This time, I planned a trip with friends and we went to the charming Qionglai. We stayed at the beautiful and serene Sheraton Lakeside Hotel, which added a touch of comfort to our journey. Our first stop was the famous Pingle Ancient Town. Unlike other commercialized ancient towns, Pingle Ancient Town has a rare and precious atmosphere , exuding a unique sense of life everywhere. In the ancient town, many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, the smooth bluestone roads bear the traces of time, and the mottled stone bridges seem to tell ancient stories. Walking through it, a feeling of tranquility quietly rises in the heart. This time in Pingle Ancient Town, we were very fortunate to encounter a lively dragon dance event. Many Hanfu performers paraded on the bridge, their clothes fluttering as if they had traveled from ancient times. There was also a passionate electronic music festival, where dynamic music collided with the ancient town's simplicity, creating a unique spark. The ancient town at night has a different charm, with soft lights casting on the old buildings, making it beautifully intoxicating. At this moment, the ancient town seems to transport people back in time, immersing them in a dreamlike atmosphere. 🍜 The food in Pingle Ancient Town is also not to be missed. The rich broth noodles, the fragrant Bobo chicken, and the tender river water tofu, every bite is unforgettable. In the streets and alleys of the ancient town, you can also taste various local snacks and specialties, satisfying your taste buds while feeling the unique charm of this ancient town. After leaving Pingle Ancient Town, we went to Qionglai City. This city seems like a paradise for food lovers. The aroma of various foods fills the streets and alleys, making one's mouth water. We wandered through the city's streets and alleys, searching for those hidden delicacies. From traditional Sichuan restaurants to street food stalls, surprises awaited us at every corner. This journey in Qionglai allowed us to experience different styles and charms. Here, there is both the simplicity and tranquility of Pingle Ancient Town and the hustle and bustle of the city. The food, scenery, and rich atmosphere here are deeply imprinted in our hearts. If you also long to escape the city's hustle and bustle and seek a moment of peace and beauty, then Qionglai is definitely a place not to be missed.
