Lesser-known travel routes in Ya'an

I went to Ya'an during the Lunar New Year and took a lesser-known route. It wasn't crowded at all and the experience was great. I arrived on the first day in the evening and stayed at the YJUC Hotel in the new district by the Qingyi River. The family room had panda dolls and a small tent, which my child loved. In the morning, I took a walk along the river from the hotel. On the other side of the river is the landmark building, the Yayu Tower. In winter, Ya'an welcomes seagulls and mergansers. There were many tourists feeding the seagulls and buying food for them. Walking upstream, I saw the statue of Nuwa Patching the Sky and the 30th Parallel Park, which has many panda statues that my child loved. There are many restaurants near the statue of Nuwa Patching the Sky. You must try the Yayu in a clay pot. The soup is especially delicious. There is a sword in the skull of the Yayu, and the owner will give you a delicate box to put it in. In the afternoon, I went to Jiaguan Ancient Town, which is more than half an hour away by car. "A small bridge and flowing water, an ancient road, a thin horse, the setting sun, and a heartbroken man at the end of the world" are all embodied in Jiaguan Ancient Town. In the evening, I went to see the night view of the Daxiaolang Bridge. Then I went to Qijiao Yufu near the bridge. The fish was delicious, and it was worth waiting in line for more than an hour. I stayed at the Xingyue Hotel, a four-star hotel located halfway up Zhangjia Mountain. During the Lunar New Year, when other hotels doubled their prices, this hotel didn't raise its prices, which was really touching. The hotel breakfast was rich, and they thoughtfully prepared panda plates, panda spoons, panda bowls, and panda cups for the children. It was so cute, and my child loved it. In the morning, I climbed the Xishu Ladder, which has about 1,000 steps. At the top is the Jinfeng Temple, where you can overlook the city of Ya'an. At noon, I had Yinjiang Chicken, which was okay, and bought a jar of meat when I left. In the afternoon, I visited Tianxian Pass, which is narrow, with high mountains and fast-flowing water, and is quite spectacular. In Tianxian Pass Ancient Town, there is a suspension bridge and the ruins of the ancient Tea Horse Road. Next to the ancient town is National Highway 318, which you can visit. The Lion Mountain Observation Deck overlooks the entire scenic area, and you can also see the Sichuan-Tibet Railway under construction. Lesser-known travel routes in Ya'an
