🔸It takes 1.5-2h to drive from Chengdu to Hanyang Ancient Town in Meishan City 🔸Qingshen County is named for its worship of the ancient Shu King Cancong, who 'taught the people about farming and sericulture in blue clothes, and all the people revered him as a deity.' The county has a history of over 1400 years. 🔸Hanyang Ancient Town has been named since the Han Dynasty and has a long history. Nowadays, the town is mostly inhabited by elderly people, and its former prosperity has faded away. 🔸The town has a low level of commercialization, with few remaining courtyards and stilted buildings, and many old houses have become dilapidated and dangerous within the courtyards. It has the style of a Sichuan county town from the early days of the reform and opening up in the last century. 🔸The ancient town is small and can be toured in half an hour. 🔸Recommended dish: 'Hanyang Bangbang Chicken'. 🔸Prepare to get up early the next day for a hike in the Zhongyan Temple scenic area. The chosen accommodation is 'Hanyun Xingye Homestay,' located on the road between the ancient town and Zhongyan Temple, with a fresh and tidy environment, and breakfast is provided.

There is a place called Qingshen! Qingshen was an unexpected surprise of this trip. Because of the altitude sickness in western Sichuan, the trip to western Sichuan was abruptly ended and we turned to Meishan. During the trip to Meishan, we unexpectedly walked into Qingshen County. The "wild" Zhongyan Temple, the ancient town of Hanyang which has the "best chicken in the world", and the boss in the ancient town who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, all made the trip a highlight. 📍Detailed address: Hanyang Ancient Town, Qingshen County, Meishan, Sichuan 🚉Transportation strategy: self-driving🚗 ⏳Visiting time: one day 🗓Itinerary: Meishan - Zhongyan Temple in Qingshen County - Hanyang Ancient Town - Qingshen County ❤Recommendation reason: Few people and beautiful scenery, Zhongyan Temple is full of spiritual beauty, suitable for mountain climbing, eat the best chicken in the world in Hanyang Ancient Town, and drink a cup of covered bowl tea. Walking around the county town is much more interesting than walking around 🍑! When I first arrived in Qingshen, I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers. This is the place of Su Dongpo's "first love". Zhongyan Temple is not like other temples. The back mountain is huge and you can see thousands of Buddha caves here, which is really shocking. The mountain is neither too high nor too low, suitable for everyone to climb slowly. The vegetation here is lush and there are many lovely ferns. After saying goodbye to Zhongyan Temple, the next stop, Hanyang Ancient Town, really gave me a huge surprise. Because here I met an interesting teahouse owner who taught me many musical instruments, from how to hold them to how to pronounce them. He said that this is the inheritance of culture, and in this small place, he is using his own power to pass on the culture. Qingshen is a great place, it deserves to be discovered by more people! language:
