I'm shocked!! The first large immersive performance in the southwest
-
No need to go to Xi'an
No need to go to Guanghan
You can switch freely here
Not only can you witness the prosperity of ancient times
But also see the magical Sanxingdui culture
Dream back to 1958 to feel the fireworks
The Deyang Huayi Brothers Star Theater, which covers an area of 71 acres
Finally, I've been waiting for it‼️
A magical journey has begun
Tour tips are as follows⬇️
Three major performances in nine parks⛲️
-
Three performances
1⃣️ 'Reunion Sanxingdui'
Ancient and mysterious
Created the precedent of China's metaverse theater
With a history of 3000 years
It consists of 18 types of performances such as drama, martial arts, Weiya, and intangible cultural heritage
2⃣️ 'Reunion Shangyuan Fantasy Night'
Immersive historical song and dance performance
Introducing the eye-catching Bashu fun city
It's very lively

It's like being in a fantasy world
3⃣ 'Reunion Street 1958'
Travel from 2023 to 1988
It tells the story of the eve of the relocation of Reunion Street in the family courtyard of Dongfanghong Factory No. 3 in 1988, where 46 protagonists have their joys and sorrows
The vivid performance is touching the audience's emotions every moment
-
Each park has different theme cultures and scenes (fun to visit and fun😄
It's also very suitable for family outings
And the photos are also very good📸️
Every scene design is very meaningful👍
The heavenly and earthly realm of the treasure town Deyang
I accidentally got to know this treasure town - 📍Deyang, which is an hour away from Chengdu.
📌Deyang Stone Carving Park
Deyang Stone Carving Park is located in the city of Deyang, named for the stone carving art wall in the park. The art wall is 1080 meters long and 7 meters high, composed of large-scale relief group images, arches, stone pillars, etc., said to be the largest modern art stone carving sculpture group in our country.
A city park that looks ordinary without any highlights, but walking into it really shocks the artist's imagination and superb skills. Large continuous ancient Roman-style stone pillars and Baroque-style buildings, carved with countless well-known ancient Chinese mythological stories and stories of national unity, as if you have come to a mythological world that combines Chinese and Western cultures.
Choose to arrive in the evening, without the internet celebrities who come to check in, only some local residents strolling after dinner and some martial arts school students practicing.
📌Confucius Temple Square
I have been to the Confucius Temple in many cities, and the overall architectural style is not much different. The Confucius Temple Square during the day does not seem to have any special attraction. However, after nightfall, the Confucius Temple Square seems to have a different vitality, and it has become the most joyful nightlife square in the entire city. Small vendors selling all kinds of cheap small commodities, parents catching fish in front of the pond with their children, a food stall where you can eat all kinds of authentic local food, and even groups of square dance aunts are a beautiful landscape. Perhaps this is the magic of travel. Seeing familiar things in unfamiliar places can also arouse your deep curiosity.

Today, let's go on a city walk in Deyang!
🚶🏻♀️Route: Deyang Stone Carving Park → Deyang Confucian Temple → Jiuyan Bridge in Chengdu for the night view
⭐Stone Carving Park Free 🆓
1. This is a great place for photos! Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day of my visit, so the photos didn't turn out well. There is also a free calligraphy and painting exhibition nearby, which is worth a visit.
2. The ginkgo trees will probably turn yellow next week, which will be a beautiful sight!

⭐Deyang Confucian Temple
This is a foodie's paradise! It's a great place to eat and shop!
Take a tricycle from Stone Carving Park for CNY 5.
Local food recommendations:
1. Zhenji Steamed Vermicelli Rolls
The owner is from Guangdong, and the shop has been open for many years. It's a friend's favorite, but I don't like it much.
2. Tiaowa Cold Noodles with Pancake, CNY 8 each, which was enough to fill me up 😂. I like the taste!
3. Xiaoyueji Fried Food, nothing special.
4. Dry Pot: Yongji Dry Pot is the most recommended, but Liuyuexue Dry Pot at the Confucian Temple is also good, so you don't have to go to Yongji.
⭐Jiuyan Bridge Night View
Take a high-speed train back to Chengdu, then take the subway to Dongmen Bridge, and walk (about 20 minutes) or take a taxi to Funan River Music Square to enjoy the night view of Jiuyan Bridge (I originally wanted to listen to the music by the river, but there was no street performance that day. I guess it's not every day, so it depends on your luck). It's also a bar street, a popular place for young people.

Zhongjiang Confucian Temple (Ancient Confucian Temple from the Ming and Qing Dynasties)
Introduction to the Confucian Temple📚: Zhongjiang Confucian Temple is located in the Xia Nan Street Community, Kaijiang Town, Zhongjiang County, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. According to the Zhongjiang County Gazetteer of the Kangxi period, the ancient Confucian Temple had long been abandoned. In the 13th year of the Jiading period of the Song Dynasty (1220), the county magistrate of Zhongjiang, Yuwen Tong, presided over the reconstruction of the Confucian Temple. Since then, it has been repaired and expanded many times throughout the dynasties, becoming one of the more complete Confucian Temples in Sichuan. The existing buildings are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and are now a protected cultural relic unit in Sichuan Province.
Little tips✨: The Confucian Temple has no entrance fee and is located within Zhongjiang City, making it easily accessible. It is said that the clay used to sculpt the statue of Confucius was transported from Qufu, Shandong, the hometown of Confucius. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the court ordered the cessation of sculpting Confucius statues nationwide, replacing them with wooden plaques for worship. Existing clay statues were not to be destroyed, and no new ones were to be made. Therefore, it is said that there are only seven clay statues of Confucius in the entire country, including the one in Zhongjiang Confucian Temple.

Lesser-Known Ancient Towns Around Chengdu | See Yuan Dynasty National Treasures, Eat Until You're Stuffed!
This place is the birthplace of the ancient 'Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars' story of 'Jiang Shi's Filial Piety, the Leaping Carp in the Gushing Spring,' with a history of over 2000 years. The ancient town has a strong market atmosphere, and there are plenty of delicious foods. It's a day trip from Chengdu, where you can eat and drink, see ancient buildings, and experience the culture of virtue and filial piety.
🚶One-Day Tour Route: Yanzuo Zen Temple → Wusheng Palace → Banbian Street → Mosque → Linggu Spring → Jiang Xiao Shrine
❶ Yanzuo Zen Temple: Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of nearly two thousand years. May to June is the most beautiful time of the year for the temple (visit in the morning to see flowers, they wilt by afternoon), as the Endless Summer blooms in succession. Inside the temple is the Dragon Protection Relic Pagoda, the only existing Yuan Dynasty brick pagoda in Sichuan Province, and a national key cultural relic protection unit.
❷ Jiang Xiao Shrine: The Jiang Xiao Shrine was originally built during the Han Dynasty, later destroyed in wars, rebuilt during the Song Dynasty's Zhiping years, and expanded again in the Qing Dynasty. To the left of the shrine is Jiang Gong's tomb, in front of which is the Lianxin Pool built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, containing a few fish and turtles. Here you can also drink tea; having tea next to the tomb is the relaxed Sichuanese way.
❸ Linggu Spring: This is Deyang's 'Baotu Spring.' According to the story of 'The Leaping Carp in the Gushing Spring,' Jiang Shi's neighbor aunt helped Jiang Shi's family through tough times. In her honor, the spring near her home was named Linggu Spring. The highest point of Linggu Spring has a wind and rain corridor where many locals sing and dance, creating a lively atmosphere.
❹ Wusheng Palace: This was a guild hall built by Hunan merchants during the 'Huguang Fill Sichuan' period. Its ancient stage was even used as a recording venue for this year's CCTV Opera Spring Festival Gala. Currently, there is a Cockscomb Coral Tree in bloom in the temple (see picture 4), which is very beautiful.
❺ Mosque: Built during the Qing Dynasty's Daoguang era, the Hui Muslims purchased a Han Chinese shrine on Banbian Street through fundraising. Therefore, the mosque has the typical architectural style of Western Sichuan residences.
❻ Banbian Street: Half of the street has the style of Western Sichuan Han ethnicity, and the other half has the Hui ethnicity's Islamic style. This street is particularly known for its snacks and Halal meals, making it a foodie's paradise.
😋Food Recommendations:
🥯 Snacks: You must try the juice beef. Yang San's mixed sugar Guokui is baked on charcoal fire, and there's always a queue. Red's Spicy Hot Pot, an old-style spicy hot pot that has been open for over 30 years, has a traditional taste, mainly vegetarian, and is inexpensive.
🐂 Halal Restaurant: For Chinese meals, you can go to La Yangzi (only available at noon), and there is also Yu's Halal. Beef Steak Hot Pot: The yellow beef is quite famous; I tried Qingfangyuan, the steak was chunky and the texture was great, and the taro served with it was delicious.
☕️ Coffee & Tea House: There's a coffee shop called Banran Coffee on Banbian Street, and I visited the one under the old house tree, which has a nice environment transformed from an old house. You can drink tea inside Wusheng Palace, Jiang Xiao Shrine, and Yanzuo Zen Temple.
📍Xiaoquan Town, Deyang City, navigate to 'Yanzuo Zen Temple,' you can park on the roadside at the mountain gate, 1.5h drive from Chengdu city center
The ancient temple, filled with endless summer blooms, dominates the summer of Sichuan!
Yanzuo Zen Temple, formerly known as 'Xiaogan Temple', was founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a history of nearly two thousand years.
The most beautiful time of the temple is from May to June every year, as the garden's endless summer flowers bloom in succession. The clusters of hydrangea flowers complement the ancient temple that has stood for a millennium, creating an incomparably beautiful scene.
The temple's current ancient architecture mainly consists of two parts: one is the Longhu Relic Pagoda, the only Yuan Dynasty brick pagoda existing in Sichuan Province, and a national key cultural relic protection unit. The other is the Sutra Tower built during the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua period, with a dougong-style structure, a single-eave hipped-gable roof, and a dry-tile roof surface.
📷 Flower Viewing Trips:
❶ It is recommended to visit in the morning on sunny days, as the hydrangea flowers may wilt in the strong afternoon sun;
❷ Visiting early in the morning means fewer people, and there are also fewer visitors around lunchtime and before closing, around 1 PM and 5 PM respectively;
❸ Currently, about 80% of the flowers have bloomed, and they are not yet in full bloom. The best viewing period is expected to be in the next 20 days, and the blooming period will generally last until early June.
🚗 Self-drive navigation: Navigate to 'Yanzuo Zen Temple', where you can park on the roadside at the mountain gate, about a 1.5h drive from downtown Chengdu
🚞 Public transportation: 1. Take a high-speed train to 'Deyang Station', turn right out of the station and walk to 'Qingyijiang Interchange Bus Station', take bus 109 to Dexiao City Road Junction (about 50 minutes), then walk to the temple. 2. Take a high-speed train to 'Mianzhu South Station', then take a taxi to the temple. 3. Book a rideshare, which is the most convenient option.
🎫 Temple admission: Free! But be sure to book in advance. If the reservation is full on the day of your visit, you can enter through the pilgrim channel.
🕐 Opening hours: 08:00-17:30
The Sanxingdui-themed amusement park in Deyang opens on June 1st!
"The park is located on the southwest slope of Xuanzhu Lake Park, and it is the first in our city to be themed around Sanxingdui, integrating archaeological excavation, aerial expansion, jungle exploration, and trendy music movements into a cultural amusement exploration park without powered rides. From an aerial view, the bronze and orange facilities are arranged in layers, as if traveling back to the ancient Shu kingdom." When I saw Deyang news introducing it like this, my hands were already clapping!
It's really suitable for children and the design is also very cute. It's one of the few cute versions of the Sanxingdui park areas. It's worth a visit when you come to Deyang.
An ancient temple that blooms with endless summer flowers for a thousand years
An ancient temple that blooms with endless summer flowers for a thousand years, dominating the summer of Sichuan!
Yanzuo Zen Temple, formerly known as 'Xiaogan Temple', was founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a history of nearly two thousand years.
Every year from May to June is the most beautiful season for the temple, as the endless summer flowers bloom in succession, and the clusters of hydrangeas complement the ancient temple that has stood for a thousand years, presenting an overwhelmingly beautiful sight.
The temple currently has two main ancient structures. One is the Dragon-protected Sarira Pagoda, the only existing Yuan Dynasty brick pagoda in Sichuan Province, and a national key cultural relic protection unit. The other is the Sutra-keeping Tower built during the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua period, which features a mortise and tenon structure, a single-eave hipped-gable roof, and a roof covered with semi-cylindrical tiles.

Deyang Stone Carving Park
Deyang city may not have a tourist spot as popular as Sanxingdui, but there are still a few lesser-known yet very distinctive attractions. One is the largest Confucian temple in the southwest region, and another is the Deyang Stone Carving Park, known as the 'Angkor Wat of China'.
The park was established in 1986, originally known as Shiniu Park, and is a key park in Sichuan Province. In the center of the park is a sculpture shaped like a stone ox.
The park covers an area of 112,000 square meters, with a green space of about 65,000 square meters, making it a large-scale art complex. In fact, this is a typical park in the Chengdu area, where many uncles and aunties exercise, relax, and stroll with children. Of course, there are tea gardens, and there are really a lot of people drinking tea. Drinking tea and playing cards under the big trees has become an essential part of life for the people of Sichuan.
The park is planted with nearly ten thousand trees such as banyan, ginkgo, camphor, osmanthus, and peach trees.
It contains a stone carving art wall, divided into two groups of large sculptures, 'Eastern Soul' and 'Chinese Soul'.
The 'Eastern Soul' stone carving group consists of 35 round arches, 32 coiled dragon stone columns, 12 granite zodiac columns at the Ox Head Gate, and two groups of large bas-reliefs 'Song of Life' and 'Light of Wisdom'.
The 'Chinese Soul' stone carving group starts with 'Pangu Creating the World' and 'Nuwa Mending the Sky', successively displaying fifty-six Chinese ethnic groups, over a thousand typical figures, and touching stories passed down from these ethnic groups.
The stone carvings inside are indeed very distinctive, with rich and varied shapes. When the weather is good, there are too many people taking photos, all 'dressed to the nines', and you basically have to queue for a good spot.
The stone carving art wall in the park is over 1080 meters long and 7 meters high, consisting of the Ox Gate, Song of Life, Art Corridor, Light of Wisdom, Chinese Soul, and the Twelve Zodiac Columns, hailed as 'a treasure of Eastern art and a crystallization of human wisdom'.
The opening hours of Deyang Stone Carving Park are 9:00-17:00, and admission is free. There are parking spaces nearby, but not many, and it is very difficult to find parking on holidays. The park is not very large, and if you don't take photos, a walk around might only take 30 minutes.
There are not many attractions in Deyang city, so it is recommended to focus on Sanxingdui for tourism. If you are from Chengdu, it is suggested to just do a suburban tour.
Deyang Mianzhu One-Day Tour
Visited four places and still had time to stroll around leisurely, feeling that my planning was just perfect.
Chengdu to Yanzuo Zen Temple 1.5 hours, playtime 1 hour. The flowers should bloom perfectly in another half a month. It was already crowded when I arrived at ten today, so I suggest getting there by nine. Everyone needs to make a reservation to enter the park. The ice cream is very pretty.
Nianhua Village takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 1-2 hours. Since there are not many people, it's just a quiet village. Festive New Year paintings can be seen everywhere on the walls. It probably feels even more seasonal in winter. Last year I tried woodblock printing at the experience hall; white paper for five yuan, red paper for eight, and gold characters for ten. There are a few firewood chicken restaurants at the entrance that seem to be doing good business and smell quite fragrant.
Taiping Reservoir takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 1 hour. Park the car below the dam and walk up the stairs to see the open water surface. You can walk around the reservoir in about an hour. The last part features a small waterfall. There's a place selling cold noodles and jelly noodles in the parking area, surprisingly tasty for six yuan a serving.
Mianzhu National Rose Park takes 0.5 hours by car, playtime 3-4 hours. Bought tickets online the day before, 20 yuan per person. Upon entering the park, you first see the green landscape and lawns, which are very comfortable to walk around. Over the hill is a castle 🏰, followed by a large rose garden. Although the roses are a bit past their peak, the park is very large, so remember to wear sunscreen.

🔥Wenmiao (Confucian Temple)
It was built during the Southern Song Dynasty and is one of the three major Confucian temples in the country, known as 'the best Confucian temple in Western Sichuan'. There are several streets full of food at the entrance, and it's beautiful when the lights are on at night.
The more famous snack shops are all nearby.

🌙 Old Brand Xiaoji Pianfen
A landmark delicacy on Qingyun Street in Deyang, the Pianfen made from sweet potato starch mixed with vegetable juice has a jade-like color, is delicate to the touch, and smooth to eat, yet chewy and elastic. The overall taste is slightly spicy, with a sweet aftertaste and the crisp fragrance of peanuts and sesame filling the mouth!
💧 Zhang Haochi Dumb Rabbit
Dumb rabbit is a signature dish of Deyang, and Zhang Haochi's rabbit is highly praised. Their rabbit meat is freshly scraped every day, tender in texture, and under the immersion of a large bowl of green and red peppers, a small piece of rabbit meat can make you feel the full spiciness. Although the throat is already smoked, it's still irresistible!
🔥 Wang Liangfen
An old snack shop in Deyang, they have both smooth white Liangfen and soft and glutinous rice Liangfen. No matter which kind of Liangfen, it becomes very spicy and tasty under the harmony of special chili oil and compound soy sauce. Besides Liangfen, their lotus soup and tofu pudding are also unique!
