Dreamy Link of the Twin Cities in Southern Sichuan

From the liquor city Luzhou to Yibin, the first city on the Yangtze River, I’ve traveled this route three times and still can’t get enough! Just a 1-hour drive, here’s a foolproof essential guide for the whole trip～ 🚗 Essential One-Day Tour Route: 📍First Stop: Hejiangmen Square The same filming location as the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala! The magnificent view of the confluence of three rivers combined with a modern fountain square is stunning for panoramic shots during the day, and the light show at night is absolutely beautiful～ It’s recommended to arrive around 5 PM to catch both the daytime and nighttime scenes in one go. 📍Second Stop: Jiajing Tower (5-minute walk from Hejiangmen) Climb this reconstructed Ming Dynasty city tower for a 360° unobstructed view of the spectacular confluence of the Yangtze River and Jinsha River. The night view is a must-see! The LED lights reflecting on the river create a "Twin Rivers Reflecting the Moon" effect, perfect for wallpaper-worthy photos with any phone. 📍Third Stop: Pearl of the Yangtze (10-minute walk along Binjiang Road) A giant 11-meter diameter LED sphere! The dynamic images change with the river’s waves, especially during the "Moon Rising Over the Sea" mode, where technology and poetry blend perfectly～ Lights turn on after 7 PM every night. 📍Fourth Stop: Eye of the Three Rivers (10-minute taxi ride) A newly popular scenic platform! The naked-eye 3D screen and water curtain movie here are super cool. The riverside boardwalk in Yangtze Park is also great for a stroll—remember to wear non-slip shoes. 🍜 Taste Explosion: Must-try "Yibin Ran Mian" (hot dry noodles)! Pickled mustard greens + crushed peanuts + secret spicy oil, only about 15 RMB per person to eat until full～ Perfect paired with a bowl of hot and sour soup. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Dilunting Hotel Shuijinggou Pedestrian Street Branch! After a full day of sightseeing, return to your room where the hotel provides a foot soaking tub and herbal bags. Soak your feet in hot water to relieve fatigue, then watch a movie—this feeling is so cozy and comfortable! Great value at just over 100 RMB per person! ⚠️ Practical Tips: 1. Wear comfortable flat shoes throughout; the Binjiang Road section has stone pavements. 2. Bring a down jacket from December to February; the riverside wind is very strong. 3. For self-driving, it’s recommended to park at the Hejiangmen underground parking lot, 5 RMB/hour. 4. The 5th-floor viewing platform at Jiajing Tower charges a 10 RMB tea fee but it’s totally worth it.
