Guanxian Ancient City, an ancient city accompanied by the thousand-year-old ancient weir, a city that integrates scenery and city, a city that tastes life, and a city accessible by high-speed rail. Here, I felt the weight of history, the essence of culture, the uniqueness of local customs, and the charm of life. 📍Address: No. 32, West Street, Guanxian Ancient City, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province 🚘Self-driving: Navigate to "Dujiangyan Scenic Area - Ancient Ginkgo" parking lot (vehicles cannot enter Guanxian Ancient City through Xuanhua Gate) 🚇Public transportation: Take the Chengdu Metro Line 2/6 to Xipu Station, then take the train to Dujiangyan Station.

It is an important passage connecting the ancient city and the Dujiangyan Scenic Area. Standing on the bridge, you can see magnificent scenery such as Xiling Snow Mountain, Lidui Gorge, and Baoping Flying Waves. The water under the bridge is clear to the bottom, and various colors of lotus flowers float on the water surface. 2️⃣Xuanhua Gate Xuanhua Gate is the main gate of the ancient city and one of the most representative buildings. A huge plaque hangs above the gate tower, inscribed with the four characters "Guanxian Ancient City." There are also two couplets on both sides of the gate tower: "The thousand-year-old Dujiangyan water conservancy project is a world wonder, and the ancient city of Guanxian is a cultural and tourist destination for generations." Walking into the gate tower, I felt as if I had traveled through time and entered a world full of historical atmosphere and cultural charm. 3️⃣West Street Built along the mountain, it retains the style of old Chengdu, with a bit of a small Lijiang feeling... A charming ancient street with many creative shops that you can slowly browse. 4️⃣Wenmiao Street The most photogenic scene is composed of antiques and old ornaments.
