Cooling Off and Kid-Friendly｜Quiet and Leisurely - Shangli Ancient Town.

🌺【Introduction】: Shangli Ancient Town is about 150 kilometers from Chengdu. The scenery is of the natural waterside type, with ancient streets, ancient stone bridges, and ancient trees, reminiscent of the old hometown in memory. It is relatively cool here in summer, and you can wade in the water. It is recommended to spend one day here. The ancient town still retains the stilted building style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Among all the ancient towns I have visited, this one is the most like an ancient town. It is not large but very quiet, still retaining the ancient stone bridges, quaint farmland, and cottages, making it the most authentic ancient town with the most ancient charm, preserving the most original living state of the residents. · 🕘【Opening Hours】: Open all year round; many people visit; · 💴【Ticket Price】: No entrance fee, but there is a parking fee, which is not expensive; · ⛺【Activities】: 🔸The entire ancient town has almost no commercial atmosphere. The town is built along the mountains and rivers, with small hills and wooden houses. It still retains many stilted buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The streets are mainly laid out in a "well" pattern. The stone bridges in Shangli Ancient Town are particularly beautiful, with more than ten bridges of various styles, the most beautiful of which was built in the 41st year of the Qianlong reign. 🔸Shangli Ancient Town - Erxian Bridge This is a stone arch bridge with the characteristics of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The clear water reflects the arched bridge, giving it a unique charm. Similarly, the Red Army left many "anti-Chiang Kai-shek" stone tablets here during the Long March, making it a highlight of the red route. Additionally, it is often visited by students for sketching, which is also a beautiful scenery line of the ancient town! · 🍛【Food Recommendations】: Xianmou's Big Meat Tatta Noodles, Corner Tower Master Han's Tatta Noodles are both good. The braised tofu and potato intestines at the Red Army Restaurant, the fish and twice-cooked pork at Chao Ge Restaurant are all delicious. The skewers and spicy hot pot by the river near Erxian Bridge, and the spicy potatoes at the corner of the Wetland Park entrance are also recommended; · 🏩【Accommodation】: The accommodations in Shangli Ancient Town are generally family inns with average conditions. There are a few newly opened homestays and hotels that are quite good and recommended to everyone.
