Pianyan Ancient Town, a city of stunning rocks and long-lasting ancient charm!

🌟Stepping into this ancient town named after a sloping rock wall, it feels like traveling through a time tunnel. Walking on the bluestone path, every step echoes the history👣. The tranquility and beauty of the ancient town is like an elegant ink painting, slowly unfolding before your eyes🖼️. 🏛️First stop: Yuwang Temple, a witness to the passing of time👑 In the 12th year of Daoguang's reign, the legend of Dayu entering Sichuan to control floods was engraved here. Walking into the temple, every brick and tile tells an ancient story, making people indulge in the profound historical and cultural heritage📜. 🗡️Second stop: Wu Temple, the temple of the loyal soul💪 Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and "Prince Zhengjiang" are enshrined in the same hall. The statues are lifelike and the knifework is delicate, as if you can hear their heroic oaths that travel through time and space🗡️. 🎭The third stop: the ancient stage, a stage for singing for thousands of years🎭 On the "Wanniantai", auspicious clouds, characters and flowers complement each other 🌈, while the lower level is the secret backstage base, hiding the actors' sweat and dreams 🎭. 🌉The fourth stop: Ancient Stone Bridge, where the flowing water talks about the past and present🌊 The stream gurgles, the ancient bridge is silent, and standing on the bridge, you can seem to hear the whispers of history🗣️. It is a great place to take photos and check in📸. 🌳Fifth stop: Jielong Square, a mark of time under the century-old banyan tree🌳 The two ancient trees have witnessed the passage of time. Taking a nap under the trees 🛋️ or freezing the beautiful moments 📷 are both good choices. 🏠Sixth stop: Stilt houses, unique silhouettes of mountain city style🏠 Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, the stilt houses are not only a living space, but also a microcosm of Chongqing's mountain city culture🏞️. 🏘️Seventh stop: Old town street, blue bricks and black tiles tell the past🏮 Strolling along the old street, with blue bricks, black tiles and wooden structures, every stone slab and every door lintel hides a story📖, waiting for those who are interested to explore🔍. 📚The eighth stop: Yuping Academy, a sacred place for cultural heritage📚 The academy is filled with the fragrance of books📖, and it is a good place to feel the cultural atmosphere of the ancient town. It makes people involuntarily slow down their pace and immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge📚. 👣Ninth stop: Qingshui Trail, fun of strolling and playing💦 Along the trail, you can enjoy the stream 💧 while shopping and playing in the water 🌊, which is a cool touch in the summer 🍃. 🌳Stop 10: Couple Tree, the romantic legend beside the Mandarin Duck Bridge💑 The two yellow locust trees lean against each other🌳, having witnessed countless storms and the steadfastness of love, and have become a unique landscape of the ancient town🌄. 🍽️Food recommendation: The memory of Pianyan on the tip of your tongue🤤 The freshness of the ancient town morning tea🍵, the mellowness of tofu rice🥣, the crispness of handmade dried tofu🥢, the softness of the old street glutinous rice cake🍡, the mellowness of Longding wine🍷, the smoothness of mung bean powder🥣, the wildness of bamboo tube rice🍚... every bite is the ultimate temptation to the taste buds👅. 🚌Transportation Guide: Convenient journey with easy arrival🚗 Take bus No. 962 or 9001 and get off at the "Pianyan Ancient Town" stop.
