The water town of western Sichuan at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain

Around Chengdu, there are many leisurely and cozy ancient towns, which are a paradise for Chengdu people to spend their leisure time. Behind the mountain of Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu, there is an ancient town famous for its "Western Sichuan Water Town". It used to be crowded with people, but now it seems to have been forgotten by the world and has gradually become a "degenerate street" for college students.

This ancient town is Jiezi Ancient Town, 25 kilometers away from Chongzhou City. Jiezi Ancient Town is located at the foot of Fengqi Mountain, connected to the back mountain of Qingcheng and adjacent to Jiulong Mountain. The northeast of Jiezi Town is bordered by Dujiangyan and is close to Chengdu's two 5A-level scenic spots. The ancient town that should be crowded is often deserted.

For thousands of years, the Weijiang River, the direct flow of the Minjiang River, has flowed through the smooth terrain of Jiezi Town, forming a Bitan, which is regarded as the "Dragon Pool" by local people. The ancient town has a developed water system and rich groundwater. There is constant clean water on both sides of the stone road and behind the front yard of the house all year round, hence the name of the "Western Sichuan Water Town".

Jiezi Ancient Town has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost. At its worst, only Hejiezi Street was left in the entire ancient town, hence the name "Jiezichang". Later, during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were many ups and downs, and there were many unfortunate fates. During the Wenchuan earthquake, it suffered heavy losses. After more than two years of post-disaster reconstruction, it achieved its current style and created a national-level 5A scenic spot.

In the prosperous era, he used to manage the water and soil of the county, but in the declining era, only one small street remained. The ancient town of Jiezi, which has come hard from the stormy storms, reveals a strong and unyielding charm among the mottled bluestone slabs. Later, it was also famous for its ancient houses and long-lived indigenous people.

When talking about the ancient towns of Chengdu, people often talk about the four ancient towns of Huanglongxi, Luodai, Anren and Pingle. This ancient water town known as the "Back Garden of Qingcheng" is often forgotten. Until a person appeared, the ancient town came back to life in a few short years. She is Gu Shaoqiang who said,"The world is so big, I want to go and see it." One of the most emotional resignation letters in history awakened people across the country to see the world.

After resigning, Gu Shaoqiang came to Jiezi Ancient Town and opened a small inn here with his wife, living a comfortable and leisurely life in Chengdu. Tourists came everywhere after hearing the news, and Jiezi Ancient Town became very popular because of this. As time went by, it gradually faded out of the eyes of the travelers.

Locals often joke that Jiezi Ancient Town is only one street. What's so funny about it? In fact, today's Jiezi Ancient Town has two main streets crisscrossing. One leads from the archway path to the covered bridge, and the other leads from Ginkgo Square to Guangyan Zen Temple. It gathers delicious food such as cold rice noodles, roasted gluten, tofu bubbles, old bacon, shortbread, and fried chicken.

The thousand-year-old ginkgo group protects the quiet small ancient town at the foot of Xianshan Mountain in Sichuan. The "towering into the clouds" persimmon trees hover on the top of the ancient courtyard with green tiles and red jade. Among the scaly streams, boats and rafts are light and quiet, the clear streams are pale, and the mountains are colorful... Fortunately, angry students from nearby colleges and universities often wander in the streets, and this has unknowingly become their "fallen street". Otherwise, this place will really become a place of "alleys and grass".

Over the past thousands of years, eminent monks and celebrities from various dynasties have stopped again, leaving behind the ancient temple "Guangyan Temple" of the Jin Dynasty, as well as more than 20 cultural relics and historic sites such as Master Yipao and others in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Guangyan Zen Temple, covered by towering ancient trees, is also a scenic spot for enjoying plum blossoms, so there is an endless stream of people coming to visit and worship.

Strolling through the ancient town of Jiezi, it is ancient and ancient, with high walls and low courtyards, which brings down the simple rural life of the people of Sichuan. At the end of the streets and alleys of the ancient town, every market day, it is still very lively, just like the countryside of a small city. On the outermost circle of the ancient town, there is a river called the Weijiang River. In summer, cruise ships here are densely distributed throughout the river, which is particularly spectacular.

On the bank of the Weijiang River, there is an ancient covered bridge called Ruilong Bridge, also known as the Wind and Rain Covered Bridge. It is one of the most worth seeing scenery in the ancient town. In the past, there was a steel chain bridge here, but then it was damaged and became what it is today. The embossed on the bridge is exquisitely crafted, and the murals are lifelike and beautiful. The ancient town of Jiezi along the green mountains and clear waters is very suitable for meditation in a daze, tasting tea and painting, and wasting time.

The "Puzhao Temple" where check-in stars compete to visit

There are countless mountains and scenery in Shu. When talking about Chengdu, there is a world-famous Qingcheng Mountain. Although Qingcheng Mountain is famous, the ancient temples and ancient towns at the foot of the mountain are only known to Sichuan people. An ancient temple that cannot be traced back to the time when the temple was built has become a popular place for tourists to check in. The most amazing thing about it is that this temple actually raises peacocks!

The mountains and forests on the outskirts of Chengdu are intertwined with green and yellow. Fanyinliao is an ancient temple that is peaceful and distant. There are no crowds, only monks paying homage to Buddha. There is no splendid appearance, but it has attracted several well-known domestic stars and celebrities to visit and explore the scenery. This is Puzhao Temple at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

Puzhao Temple at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain is located in Daguan Town, Dujiangyan, adjacent to Jiezi Ancient Town. It is hidden in the mountains and will be missed if you are not careful. Although it is impossible to know the year when the temple was built, there are documents that record that this ancient temple was destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong in the Ming Dynasty and did not escape the fire.

In the early years, Puzhao Temple was called "Jinhua Temple". Worship the founder of Yinghua. In the past, this small temple was a poor temple rebuilt from an ancestral temple abandoned by the local family. It can be said that "there is no food to support a monk, and there is no room to protect the spirit." Later, this small poor temple was built and cultivated extensively during the Qing Dynasty. After more than a hundred years of continuous expansion, it became one of the four major jungles in western Sichuan.

Coming down from the asphalt road, the first thing you see is a small stone tower burning incense. Opposite it is a small stall where small vendors sell incense, blessings and other goods. Follow the winding fir forest path, step on the moss covered stone road, and slowly walk up. In about ten minutes, you will reach the mountain gate of Puzhao Temple. Under the green stone platform steps approaching the gate, there is a big golden dragon lying in the mountains like a spiritual guard guarding this land.

Walking into the gate, what you can see is several towering Nannan trees. The entire temple runs north-south, with three deep courtyards, three large rooms at the mountain gate, and two sides are the "Water and Land Temple". The first courtyard to enter the gate is the main hall, with green bricks and composite tiles and a large bed that is very imposing. On the east side is the proud Puzhao Bell in the temple, and on the west side is the passage inside the Progressive Temple. The second courtyard is the Buddhist Sutra Pavilion of Puzhao Temple; the third courtyard is for the accommodation of monks.

This temple is not as resplendent as other temples, nor does it have a huge area, but a majestic Golden Buddha attracts many tourists to pay homage. This is probably the "Big Buddha Temple in Shan County" mentioned in historical documents. There is a saying in the book that it is famous because of its large temple and tall Buddha, and its long history. To this day, this Buddha remains unchanged and stands tall in the center of Puzhao Temple. It is no exaggeration to say that this Buddha is the tallest and largest outdoor Buddha statue in Chengdu, and it can be said to be one of the wonders of Puzhao Temple.

The second wonder of Puzhao Temple is that it is also a treasure hiding place in the "Daxi Kingdom". The saying that "stone ox versus stone drum costs tens of thousands of dollars in silver" was once widely circulated among Chengdu people. The folk song of "," points out the geographical location characteristics of Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom treasures, which is undoubtedly consistent with the characteristics of Puzhao Temple. Is this inconspicuous ancient temple actually a treasure trove of wealth? True and false, false and real, the theory of treasure eventually disappeared in the long river of vicissitudes.

The third wonder of Puzhao Temple is that this ancient temple also has a temple for social Buddhas to live in. Jingshe is located at the end of the right side of the mountain gate. From a distance, it looks like a Zen hotel. When you look closer, you find that it is an elegant Jingshe. No wonder stars and celebrities come here to worship and stay.

Puzhao Temple in the deep mountains is particularly quiet, with the mountains shaded and few Sanskrit sounds. The most amazing thing about this temple is that there are four peacocks, two males and two females. If it weren't for the incense spreading in this temple and the singing of Sanskrit, I might have thought that I had come to the zoo in a trance. Perhaps they are envoys of the gods, leading the world to adhere to its nature and follow good advice.

The sea is changing rapidly. The poor temple in the past has gone through vicissitudes. After expansion, destruction, and restoration, it has returned to the eyes of the world. There is no pompous Jinluan Palace, but a far-reaching Zen meaning floating around. This ancient temple at the foot of the Sichuan Immortal Mountain is worth a visit.

Five-star hotels and villas in Dujiangyan are the ideal elegant residences pursued by the ancients

In Dujiangyan, which is known as the "Back Garden of Chengdu", there is a secret place to retreat into mountains and rivers and enjoy the dual experience of urban prosperity. This place is not only adjacent to the world-famous Dujiangyan Scenic Area, but also has an excellent 180-degree view of the pilgrimage to the highest peak of Qingcheng Mountain, the "God of Wealth". Therefore, merchants and travelers gather here.

This mysterious place full of aura and gathering blessings is the five-star hotel in Chengdu Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City: Chengdu Rongchuang Wanda Mandarin Hotel. With the arrival of Chengdu Rongchuang Paradise in Chengdu, Chengdu people who love to play have another place to spend their weekends.

As we all know, there are three things that can be hot searched in Chengdu: earthquake, snow, and sun! Chengdu, located at the southwestern tip of the motherland, is cold and humid in autumn and winter, with hazy rain and fog. It is a rare thing to bask in the sun. Dujiangyan, which has the "Three Heritage" resort, is not only popular among outsiders, but also popular among locals. Nowadays, the opening of Chengdu Rongchuang Park in Dujiangyan has made up for the "empty window" of Dujiangyan tourism and has a treasure travel destination where you can play snow all year round. The establishment of high-end hotels in Chengdu Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City just meets the needs of travelers for comfortable accommodation.

?? Chengdu's most elegant vacation secret

Among the luxury resort hotels in Chengdu Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City, the most popular is Chengdu Rongchuang Wanda Mandarin Hotel, which has unique characteristics of western Sichuan water. It embeds the "water charm" of Dujiangyan and the "tranquility" of Qingcheng Mountain in the hotel environment in an artistic form. It is both ancient and modern, taking into account the unique Western Sichuan folk houses, panda culture, and Han and Tang culture in Sichuan.

It only takes 12 minutes to drive from Dujiangyan High-speed Railway Station to Chengdu Sunac Wanda Mandarin Hotel. Before entering the hotel, you will first see a magnificent archway gate, which is the main gate of the hotel. Looking across the street is Chengdu Rongchuang Shopping Center, which is only one step away from the Internet celebrity bookstore "Zhong Shuge".

A short walk along the winding bamboo forest path will lead you to the hotel lobby. Looking back along the building where the lobby is located, you can see rows of single-family villas dotted around this blessed land among red flowers and green leaves. The style of the entire Wanda Mandarin Hotel is based on the Han and Tang styles, and combines the local characteristics of Sichuan folk houses in Sichuan to create a luxury resort hotel and villa that is appreciated by both refined and popular customs, creating an elegant, leisurely, elegant and noble living life for people.

Walking into the lobby, an elegant and noble atmosphere came over. There are no magnificent and vulgar decorations, only lacquer craftsmanship containing a scholarly flavor. Artworks such as seals, guqin, stone lions, and carved screens are incorporated into the lobby, vividly displaying the essence of Han and Tang culture. This is exactly the elegance pursued by ancient literati. If the ancient literati and literati were still alive, I am afraid that even writing thousands of poems would not show their love for this place.

The most exquisite thing about this hotel is that there are two exquisite murals on the left and right sides of the lobby. The exquisite lacquer craftsmanship is used to draw two lifelike scrolls of "Praying Water Dujiangyan" and "Asking on Qingcheng Mountain". The pictures are 12 meters long and 3 meters wide, making them particularly shocking.

There are 86 village-style courtyard rooms in the entire hotel, from ordinary one-bedroom flat-floor soup pool villa rooms to high-class one-bedroom duplex soup pool villa rooms, to top three-bedroom swimming pool private soup villas, with mountain views, street views, garden views, river views, and lake views to meet the needs of different travelers. Each room is an independent small courtyard with its own private soup and garden. Some rooms also have a separate swimming pool, which has good soundproofing and high privacy.

Five-star "Wangfu Courtyard"

This time, I stayed in a single-bedroom flat-floor Tangchi Villa with a garden view with my best friend. I took the hotel shuttle bus from the lobby and arrived at the guest room in a short while. The guest rooms here are all independent houses with their own courtyard. Through the antique guest room door, there is a wooden carved screen with bluestone steps on one side. Flowers and trees are intertwined, green tiles and thin eaves, and a faint garden style fills the entire yard.

After opening the door, there is a sofa area with a seating area and a machine for leisure and entertainment in the spacious one bedroom and two living halls. Behind the TV wall is the wide bedroom, and behind a 2-meter-long bed is an elegant picture of plum blossoms. The top of the entire guest room is a bucket type wooden structure, which is a characteristic of house architecture in the Han Dynasty.

In addition, the room also has an office area with the "Four Treasures of Literature" and a bathing area that integrates modern aesthetics. Behind the guest room is the bathing area, which is particularly convenient in the design of dry and wet zones. The dressing table in the middle has two sinks, so you won't feel crowded when you are dressing here with your best friends. It also provides a beauty mirror for you to sit and lie down and make up. The most surprising thing is that there is also an oversized single bathtub, which can not only soak in a bath to relieve fatigue, but also have a concave shape.

The large reception and lounge in the room is like moving the living room of home into a hotel. The large area and soft fabric sofa meet basic visitor needs. People in Chengdu like to play mahjong, and the machine hemp design on the side is really considerate. And next to the entrance hall, there is also a bathroom, which is also a dry and wet section. There are children's toiletries in the bathroom, and the bathroom can also be used by friends, satisfying the private lifestyle advocated by modern people. With one bedroom, two halls, two bathrooms and two courtyards, this private villa is very poetic."There is a courtyard in the forest, and the courtyard is in the forest". This is not so much a hotel as a private courtyard for princes and nobles.

At night, the hotel also arranged turndown service, adjusted the lights, and lit incense for sleeping. Disposable slippers are ready. He also sent a super cute little panda to accompany him to sleep. I have long heard of panda-themed hotels here, but I never thought that I could experience the surprise of cute pets 'companionship here.

Internet celebrity private soup, floating afternoon tea

Chengdu people like to watch the snow and also love to soak it up. The former requires opportunity, and the latter requires wealth. There is private soup in the hotel room, so you can enjoy the pleasure of making private soup without paying extra money. The hot spring water here is drained from the hot spring eyes at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, which is different from some cheap "boiled water fake hot springs". If you are a couple, the hotel will also provide rose petals to decorate the soup pool, which is extremely romantic. In wet and cold Sichuan, soak in a bath to eliminate the moisture and sleep soundly with the soft bed on your head.

In the oversized backyard, there are many flowers and trees, and every flower and tree are made by the ingenuity of the garden designer. In addition to the private soup pool, there are also lounge chairs for rest. Make soup on the lounge chairs and look at the stars, or sit back in the tea art resting area to enjoy tea. Next to the carved courtyard wall, there is also an open-air tea break area where friends can gather for afternoon tea. This design is really heart-warming.

People in inland areas have a deep obsession with the sea and want to go to the seaside for holidays in winter. Therefore, Sanya's "Internet celebrity floating afternoon tea" is very popular because of its unique and rare nature. Nowadays, you can also enjoy the same floating afternoon tea at Sunac Wanda Mandarin Hotel in Chengdu. In the private soup pool, soaking in the warm hot springs and eating delicious desserts, this kind of holiday life is particularly comfortable and beautiful, making people feel comfortable and not wanting to go home.

A feast in landscape painting

This hotel is a rare luxury resort hotel around the lake among Chengdu Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City and even the entire Dujiangyan hotel group. It sits on mountains and rivers and is very poetic. You can enjoy delicious food without leaving the hotel door. There are Chinese restaurants and Western restaurants in the hotel, which satisfy the pursuit of delicious food by different groups of people.

The Western restaurant is fashionable and elegant, with beautiful garden views. The meals here are not self-service, they are all served one by one, and the food selection is also more precise, so the quality of Western food is extremely high. If you are a couple traveling and have a sumptuous candlelight dinner in the hazy night sky, it will be romantic and warm.

When you come to a Western restaurant, you must not miss three delicious dishes: rosemary French lamb chops with black garlic and vanilla juice, nut pumpkin soup, and Hokkaido double orange-flavored cheese dessert. The French lamb chops are extremely tender and tender, and the sauce with it just neutralizes the mutton flavor and tastes very good. Nut pumpkin soup has both the sweetness of pumpkin and the crispy aroma of nuts. Every bite is extremely delicious, and I can't help but continue to drink it. Hokkaido's double-layered orange-flavored cheese desserts adopt the creativity of Princess Aisha in "Frozen". The whole dessert is light blue, from the outer skin to the inner filling, the sweetness ranges from polysaccharide, half sugar, and less sugar, and the sweetness decreases, giving the taste buds a different level experience.

However, older people prefer traditional Chinese food. The hotel's Chinese restaurant is on the second floor. It is antique and elegant, with excellent views. There are both large private rooms that can accommodate 20 people at the same time, and small private rooms suitable for the family. On one side of the Chinese restaurant, you can enjoy the western Sichuan-style courtyard view, and on the other side is a platform with an excellent 180-degree view of the "God of Wealth Zhao Gong Mountain". As long as the weather is clear, the beautiful figure of Zhaogong Mountain, the highest peak of Qingcheng Mountain, will appear. You don't have to travel far, you can make a pilgrimage to Zhaogong Mountain with a meal and pray for blessings and wealth.

The hotel's Chinese restaurant serves authentic Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine. You can not only experience the spicy and delicious flavor of Sichuan cuisine, but also aftertaste the delicacy and sweetness of Cantonese cuisine. We didn't like to make choices and left the problem of ordering food to the chef. Based on seasonality, hotel characteristics, etc., the chef paired it with exquisite Chinese food for two. From serving to tasting, every dish has an experience of opening a blind box, which is full of fun.

From the perspective of food health, the selection of Chinese restaurants not only focuses on freshness but also pays attention to safety. If the ingredients selected are not guaranteed with safety and quality, chefs would rather spend the time making them by themselves. For example, the Laotan kimchi used to make live water and soil fish is made by the chefs themselves.

My best friend and I "unpacked the blind box" in the Chinese restaurant and tasted four delicious dishes that made us most unforgettable: sesame seed peach kernels, pumpkin mousse with soy sauce duck, small flavor cloth clothes, and live water and soil fish. Sesame seeds and peach kernels are crisp, fragrant and sweet, very refreshing. Pumpkin mousse with soy sauce duck has distinct colors, which not only looks good and tastes sweeter. Pumpkin mousse is nutritious and healthy, avoiding girls from worrying about getting fat after eating sweets. The pickled duck is a famous sweet duck in Leshan and has an excellent taste. Xiaoweibu Yi is the red-skinned radish from Sichuan, using only the outermost layer of skin. Usually, a plate of small-flavored divination clothes requires ten kilograms of radishes to make, and the materials are extremely precise. The method of using kimchi for bathing is clear, sweet and refreshing. The most unforgettable thing for us is the living water and soil wind fish, which uses small fish unique to Dujiangyan. It is shaped like a triangular peak and has extremely tender meat. It is paired with Laotan sauerkraut, as well as soup made with ham, black chicken and other ingredients. The hot and sour flavor of the cooked local fish is not only delicious, but also sweet in the soup. While appreciating the beauty of mountains and rivers, while tasting the beauty of dishes, the double feast of vision and taste is wonderful.

"Amusement Park" in the Mountains and Waters

After tasting the delicious food, you might as well go to the hotel's lakeside to take a walk to relieve digestion. Look at the black swans rushing over the water and listen to the gurgling ditches. On the autumn day when yellow leaves are full of sky, encounter the Fandai grass on the lake, take photos and check in, and weave a romantic pink fairy tale. If you have enough time, you may wish to go to the paradise of Chengrong Cultural Tourism City to experience childhood fun and play in the Snow Country World; go to Zhongshu Pavilion to traverse the Book Sea World, or you can get drunk on the Bar Street... Full of fun.

Internet celebrity bookstore Zhong Shuge, the real-life version of "Inception of the Dream"

It is said that "there is a beauty in a book, and there is a golden house in a book." Young people nowadays especially like to visit bookstores. They may enter the store to read books, but more to take photos and check in. With the rise of urban tourism, Internet celebrity parks and Internet celebrity bookstores have become popular one after another, and even an appointment is required at the peak. Hidden on the second floor of Chengdu Rongchuang Mao Shopping Mall is an Internet celebrity bookstore that netizens call: the real-life version of "Inception".

This bookstore is Zhongshuge. Inspired by the ingenious design of the world-famous water conservancy Dujiangyan, the designer created this 8D magic world Zhongshuge Bookstore. The entire bookstore is divided into two floors, using the clever idea of science fiction TV, where you can read waves of books with a leap. Every bookshelf is neatly filled with books. The bookshelves of the entire bookstore are cylindrical, arched, curved, and boat shaped... Spread it out. Using mirror images to highlight the bookstore's wide sense of space, coupled with the most popular choices at the moment, stairs, window book bars and other Internet celebrities, has become a benchmark for bookstore fashion.

Such a palace-style bookstore with unique artistic charm is popular among travelers because of its uniqueness. Because I am immersed in the scene, there is a sense of ingenuity of 8D magic, and some people say that this is a "Hogwarts" magic castle. On the upper and lower floors, there are many resting areas for tourists to read. There are free areas and paid areas. If you want to check in to the Internet celebrity Zhong Shuge, you must miss the holidays and choose a working day to slowly appreciate the wonder here and feel the fun of being in the sea of books.
