Accordion melodies flow on the cobblestone roads, street performers improvise around every corner, harps are played at forest campsites, and riverside bookstores are filled with musical scores. The romance here is too much to capture in nine photos! [Town Introduction] Bailu Music Town, also known as Bailu China-France Style Town, is modeled after the small towns of Provence, France. The architecture is in the macaron color scheme of the French style, with arched flower windows, white columns, and colorful roof tiles, revealing a gentle and delicate atmosphere everywhere. Every corner is full of romantic colors. The town has a long history, dating back to 316 BC, witnessing the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom. During the Qing Dynasty, descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang came here, making Bailu a missionary base. The Catholic Church, built in 1865, was later relocated due to an earthquake. Across the Bailu River under Ginkgo Square, there used to be the "Wudian Academy", also known as the Lower Academy. After the 2008 earthquake, the surrounding buildings collapsed, but two teaching buildings stood firm, known as the "most awesome teaching buildings". Now, only a row of old walls remains of the Lower Academy, and there is also half of the China-France Friendship Bridge on the Bailu River, which is full of historical significance. Going forward from Ginkgo Square is Bailu Old Street, which was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was once one of the top ten ancient towns in Chengdu. After the 2008 earthquake, it was rebuilt into a western Sichuan residential area. The couplet on the arch of the old street, "Shops in the street sell three thousand kinds of goods, and millions of families read along the river," still allows people to imagine the former prosperity.

Over a hundred years ago, French missionaries came here, built a church, and founded a school. They also constructed a stone arch bridge. Later, the Wenchuan earthquake caused significant damage to the area. During the post-disaster reconstruction, to honor Sino-French friendship, this scenic street was created. There are many hotels, inns, and various restaurants on the street. There is also a square where music performances are sometimes held. Now, beyond the town, there are still earthquake relics. There is also the Sino-French Friendship Bridge, which has been half-destroyed. Located in the mountains, the area has fresh air and a stream, making it an ideal vacation spot with no admission fee.
