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.

On December 7th, the dawn redwood forest at Donghu Mountain in Deyang City, Sichuan Province reached a new level of beauty!

Just after the Winter Solstice, the bluestone slabs of Xiaoquan Ancient Town feel a bit chilly, but once you step through the gate of Yuhu Garden, even the wind softens— Red lanterns under the eaves soak in the winter sun, beams of Tyndall light pass through sparse branches, scattering delicate warmth onto the porcelain cups on the tea table. The freshly brewed jasmine tea exhales warm mist into the cool air, and looking up, the flowing water gently rocks the "suspended water ball." The stone stools are warmed by the sun, and even the small lanterns on the dry branches in the courtyard corners seem to secretly hold the warmth of the ancient town. Staying here, time moves slowly: In the afternoon, move a bamboo chair to the waterside pavilion, where tea smoke wraps around the winter sun, watching fallen leaves drift into tiny fragments of gold on the water’s surface; At dusk, wander into the alleys of the ancient town, a hundred meters away is the red wall of Jiangxiao Ancestral Hall, stepping on bluestone slabs to visit Wusheng Temple, the wind by the old wall carries the aroma of "Xiaoquan Juice Beef"; At night, return to the courtyard, where lanterns glow a warm red, the tea kettle gently whistles on the charcoal stove, and even the barking dogs outside in the ancient town become a soft background sound. When you come to Xiaoquan, don’t just be a passerby: 📍 Yuhu Garden is right in the heart of the ancient town, a three-minute walk to the carved gate of Xiaoquan Mosque, turn a corner to buy freshly baked "ma bing" (sesame cakes), the fragrance wrapped in oil paper warms you all the way; 🛏️ The guest rooms overlook the courtyard, bedding bathed in winter sunlight, even the porcelain bowls at the washstand are printed with the ancient town’s cloud patterns; 🍵 The courtyard always has tea ready, and if you want it hot, the owner can bring a pot of freshly brewed old white tea from the charcoal stove. “The ancient town is too cold in winter, but the tea at Yuhu Garden can warm you through the whole season.”

People from Guangyuan passing through Deyang came across this Stone Carving Park and saw many ginkgo trees. It was a warm winter afternoon. Entering through the main gate and strolling freely in the park, they encountered many golden ginkgo trees, fallen leaves covering the ground, and people everywhere sunbathing, drinking tea, playing cards, and taking photos. The sense of happiness was full to the brim—just looking at it was already very joyful. There were also some beautiful young ladies, truly full of energy. This place is worth a visit. Please recommend other fun places to me for my next trip.

With the sun appearing these days, the dawn redwoods at Donghu Mountain in Deyang have finally donned their red attire! Sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled shadows, as if stepping into an autumn fairy tale world🍂 📍 Check-in guide: 🗺️ Navigation: Redwood forest by the lake inside Donghu Mountain Park ⏰ Time: Perfect lighting on sunny days ✅ Fewer people on weekdays

🕒 Time: November 22, 2025 ⛰️ Location: Group 6, Shimen Village, Yinghua Town, Shifang City, Deyang, Sichuan Province 🚗 Travel: 1.5 hours by car from Luoxiao District, Deyang City 🧥 Clothing: Outdoor jacket + fleece lining 🎫 Hiking medal route: 39.9 yuan Tips: To get the medal, you must arrive at the back mountain ticket office before 17:30 1️⃣ Departed at 8:50, arrived around 10:20. There were plenty of parking spots. The three of us girls, worried about parking inside the scenic area, parked on the road before the front gate, paying 10 yuan for parking. I felt a bit cold wearing two layers, so we first went to the restroom, ate, and bought hiking poles and other supplies. The hiking poles at the entrance were 30 yuan each, bamboo sticks 3 yuan each. My friends bought hiking poles without bargaining; I bought a bamboo stick because I forgot my branded hiking poles and didn’t want to buy another. 2️⃣ First, we checked in at the front mountain gate and started hiking after ticket inspection. The first half of the trail was easy to walk, and after a while, I got warm and took off one layer. If you expect heavy exertion, make sure to replenish energy early because after the second checkpoint, you won’t find supplies until the fifth checkpoint. The distance in between is really exhausting and long, definitely more than nine kilometers, all mountainous ⛰️, climbing one peak after another. There are no restrooms along the way except for a few very dirty, rudimentary latrines. 3️⃣ Nine kilometers doesn’t sound long, but the first half is all uphill and the second half all downhill, with the path covered in stones that make it easy to twist an ankle. We delayed by taking photos and eating, which made us rush to get the medal later. I only checked in at the last point at 17:16. If I had taken my time in the second half, I definitely wouldn’t have gotten the medal. So, friends who want to take photos, don’t waste too much time.

📢 Announcement❗ The dawn redwoods at Donghu Mountain are about to turn fully red! The best viewing (and photo📸) period is coming soon. A must-visit every winter~ Fewer people in the morning and soft light. The wooden boardwalk + wooden benches are perfect photo spots.

Light-colored clothes make photos stand out greatly~ Besides the dawn redwood forest, the West Gate hiking trail leads straight to the ancient theater stage. Surrounded by greenery all the way, a natural oxygen bar that's super comfortable for breathing! On the way, you can also visit Zhonggulou Square to admire the ginkgo trees. Perfectly planned✌️ 📣 Please recommend! Everyone, come share the photo spots you think are stunning, let me copy your homework~ 📍 Navigation: Deyang Donghu Mountain Park 🎫 Tickets: Free👉 Nearby check-ins: Xuanzhu Lake Park, Zhonggulou

🍁 Autumn in Deyang is here again, the perfect season to photograph ginkgo trees! 📍 Navigation: Yongdinghe Road, you can park on the roadside. This is a lesser-known ginkgo spot, so you won’t have trouble finding parking even on weekends. 🍁 As soon as you enter Yongdinghe Road, both sides of the street are filled with golden ginkgo trees. There are plenty of great photo spots, and every shot looks amazing. We went on a somewhat cloudy weekend, which didn’t affect the ginkgo photography at all. It would be perfect if it were sunny. ⛺ You can bring your own chairs and stools, sit under the ginkgo trees, and enjoy a roadside picnic or tea brewing around a small stove—great ways to relax in autumn. ⚠️ Tips: 1️⃣ There are stalls for tea brewing by the roadside for afternoon tea 2️⃣ Be careful not to block the road when parking or picnicking 3️⃣ Remember to take your trash with you

Early winter at Donghu Mountain Park is such a master of color blending! Taking 14-month-old Cancan into this dawn redwood forest, the yellow-green gradient leaves look like a spilled paint palette, so beautiful you want to settle down right there～ As soon as we entered the park, we were wrapped in the lively atmosphere at the entrance! Grandpa selling candied hawthorns had his sugar coating shining bright, Auntie’s spring roll stall was steaming hot, Cancan’s big round eyes crisply called out “Grandpa” and “Grandma,” his little short legs chasing after older kids, and his giggles could be heard clearly in the crowd～ Climbing up to the lake, we rested on the steps and watched the small boats. Walking around the lake for a short while, we reached the dawn redwood forest. The dawn redwood leaves were half tender yellow and half light green, sunlight filtering through the branches creating dappled light. Cancan tugged his dad, picking up twigs and digging in the soil looking for “treasures,” then squatted down to play with fallen leaves with unfamiliar kids. His little basket quickly filled with leaves of all colors🍂 He could hold the railing to climb the steps without being held, and grandpas and grandmas passing by all praised, “Such a good kid.” Hearing this, the little guy got even more excited, running around with his hat tilted～ Watching him frolic in the forest, I suddenly felt that nature is the best early education class! It’s ten thousand times more vivid than picture books and also unlocks social skills. On the way home, he fell asleep immediately, and this tired mom finally got a break～ 📍Address: Donghu Mountain Park, Deyang City 👶Age Friendly: 14 months (strollers can enter but there are steps in the dawn redwood forest, so not very stroller-friendly) 💡Tips: The dawn redwood forest is deep inside the park. Wearing light-colored clothes matches perfectly with the yellow-green background!

🌟Stepping into the world of oil paintings with the redwood forest, so beautiful it leaves you speechless!🍂 📍Location: North Shore Wetland of Dong'an Lake Park, Deyang 📸Best time to shoot: Late November to mid-December (3-4 PM offers perfect lighting) Finally caught the last wave of this year's redwood feast! Strolling along the wooden boardwalk, it feels like walking into a fairy tale realm dyed by autumn colors. The layers of dawn redwoods by the water’s edge are using up a year’s worth of romance to paint the lake surface like Monet’s palette 🎨 ✨Must-visit photo spots: 1️⃣ The curved waterside boardwalk corner (redwoods and reflections form a symmetrical composition) 2️⃣ The stone pier walkway among the reeds (captures the feeling of walking inside a painting) 3️⃣ The bench deep in the redwood forest (fallen leaves form a natural velvet carpet) 📌Tips: • Recommend wearing off-white/oat-colored coats • Bring some bread crumbs to attract egrets into the frame • Drone shots can unlock a god’s-eye view The brilliance before fading is always especially moving. Seize every sunny day to capture this limited-time beauty～

As people speed along the Chengdu-Chongqing expressway, Deyang often appears as a quiet footnote on road signs. It is not as bustling as Chengdu, nor as technologically cutting-edge as Mianyang. It quietly rests at the northern edge of the western Sichuan Plain, like a reserved craftsman, hiding its stories within hard metal and gentle time. Your journey in Deyang might begin with a silent "conversation." Step into the Deyang Stone Carving Art Wall, and you will feel a striking contrast. On that thousand-meter-long red sandstone wall, life, wisdom, history, and legend are carved with overwhelming power. Strong oxen, galloping horses, thoughtful sages... they are not delicate decorations but carry a raw, rugged vitality, as if breaking free from the stone to rush toward you. You quietly walk beneath the wall, touching the deep carvings with your hand. At that moment, you will feel that this is not just a wall but the beating, art-filled soul of this industrial city. It tells you that Deyang’s essence is not only the precision of workshops but also a flowing stream of art. If the stone carvings feel too grand, then take a stroll by Jinghu Lake. The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the city’s calmness. Egrets gracefully pace along the water’s edge, citizens jog and fish along the greenway, and time seems to slow down here. It’s hard to imagine that this city, famous for heavy machinery, harbors such a soft wetland at its heart. The industrial framework and the tenderness of life achieve a wonderful harmony here. And the flavor of Deyang is hidden in its streets and alleys. When night falls, you must lose yourself in the lively eateries. Amid the noisy chatter, the owner will bring you a plate of Luojiang Bean Chicken. It’s not actually chicken but a brilliant creation of tofu skin wrapped around a secret filling. The first bite is the chewy tofu skin, followed by layers of numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors unfolding in your mouth. This complex taste, like Deyang itself, hides a fascinating depth beneath its simple exterior. Of course, there is also a bowl of clear Jiannanchun liquor. Produced in Mianzhu under Deyang’s jurisdiction, the wine carries the millennia-old terroir of Shu. A small sip warms your throat and heart with its mellow aroma, and you will understand the boldness and elegance of “Li Bai loosening his fur coat to continue drinking.” Finally, you can travel a bit farther to the Guanghan Sanxingdui. Although it has become an independent city, the cultural ties remain close. Standing before those mysterious bronze divine trees and large masks, the shock of crossing thousands of years will make you reconsider the land beneath your feet. It turns out that this land in the Land of Abundance where Deyang lies once blossomed with such brilliant and extraordinary civilization in ancient times. So, don’t just think of Deyang as an industrial city. It is a storyteller craftsman, holding cold steel in one hand and warm wine and stone carvings in the other. It is not in a hurry to speak but waits for you to slowly feel its gentle pulse of strength and softness—in the shimmering waves of Jinghu Lake, in the aroma of bean chicken, in the silence of stone carvings. Here, you will discover how industry and life, history and the present, can coexist in such harmonious unity.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the people of Luojiang call the ancient county town "Boat City," and the Kuixing Pavilion is the mast of this boat. 🪭Luojiang Kuixing Pavilion This is an all-wooden structure, independent on all four sides, arranged in a square formation. It has five floors including the base, with each side of the base measuring 15 meters. From the second floor upward, the floors are in the style of a paifang (archway), with each side gradually shrinking by 50 centimeters per floor in an orderly staggered manner, making it both compact and elegant. "Kuixing" is one of the twenty-eight lunar mansions in ancient Chinese astronomy and was later revered by scholars as the deity governing the rise and fall of literature. "Kuixing governs literature," so people built "Kuixing Pavilions" to worship it, hoping for literary success and top honors in imperial examinations. Therefore, ancient counties all built Kuixing Pavilions or Wenchang Palaces for scholars to admire and worship. 🪭Jingle Palace Built in the second year of the Shenlong era of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang (706 AD), it was also one of the lodging places for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, during his flight to Chengdu. The Jingle Palace on Yujing Mountain has now been converted into the Li Diaoyuan Memorial Hall and a cultural museum. On the terrace halfway up the southwestern hillside, there is a forest of stone steles inscribed with over 90 calligraphic works by famous provincial and non-provincial calligraphers from the 1990s.
