Qionglai | A small town that cannot be named but influences the world.

When I first saw the name of the city "Qionglai", I looked it up in the dictionary to figure out its pronunciation. Following its pronunciation, I slowly walked into its story. It turned out that this is the place where the love between Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru began. On the banks of the Baimo River a thousand years ago, the woman who dared to break free from the feudal shackles resolutely pursued her love along the rippling river. Upon deeper understanding, it turns out that this city has a history of 2,300 years, and it has left a strong mark at many important moments in history! Qionglai is the first place in the world to discover and use natural gas, which is more than 600 years earlier than European countries. In ancient times, Qionglai was called "Linqiong". The use of natural gas opened up an important era of salt and iron smelting in history. Today, Qionglai still occupies an unshakable position in China and even in the world! Qionglai is known as the hometown of raw liquor. 70%-80% of the raw liquor for my country's liquor brands comes from here, and it even affects the liquor industry in other countries in the world. This is also the largest firefly base in Asia. From April to October every year, the Qionglai Tiantai Mountain Firefly Base attracts countless domestic and foreign tourists. There is also the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea, Pingle Ancient Town, and Jiaguan Ancient Town, which is known as the Little Jiangnan of Sichuan... Qionglai milk soup noodles, Bobo chicken and various other delicacies are also mouth-watering. Qionglai is about 70 kilometers away from Chengdu. It takes half an hour to get there by high-speed rail, or about an hour by car. The transportation is very convenient. As the best destination for short-distance travel, Qionglai provides another leisure lifestyle for tourists from Chengdu and all over the country! Enjoy your trip to Qionglai. If you want to deeply experience the charm of this city, you can eat and stay at the first bridgehead in southern Sichuan, on the banks of the Nanhe River. This is the only way for the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318. It was once a fortress on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and it still maintains its prosperity and diversity today. If you stay here when visiting Qionglai, you can appreciate the charm of water and the beauty of Nanhe River. When the weather is clear in spring, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance; in summer, you can watch the sunset and meteors... The breakfast at Xirida Lakeside Hotel is very warm and exquisite. The healthy and green breakfast concept integrates the Qionglai food culture. There are milk soup noodles, Bobo chicken, black pork wonton, handmade pancakes... The black pork wonton has a unique taste. Once upon a time, tourists from Mingshan, Chengdu, and Meishan drove here specifically for breakfast. If you also like Qionglai's landscape, Qionglai's humanities, wine culture, tea culture... then you must take some time to bring your family and friends to Qionglai for a visit and give yourself a good vacation!
