It's recommended to have several drivers take turns, but once you arrive in Guangyuan, you can enjoy the freedom 2️⃣ There are many homestays in Zhaohua Ancient City, take a good look at pictures and reviews when choosing. We picked Jiameng Post, which was quite good and convenient; the food in Zhaohua seems similar from place to place, go with what looks good to you, the intestines are a tasty specialty😋 3️⃣ Accommodation in Guangyuan really offers better value for money, it's up to you; we randomly chose a hotpot place and it was great, also had Dong's Stewed Pig's Trotters, delicious👍right at Nanhe Square, all kinds of food, dazzling 4️⃣ Sichuan's rapeseed flowers are blooming, all along the river by Zhaohua Ancient City, so beautiful‼️ 5️⃣ For the high-speed train version, please check the return trip times from Zhaohua Ancient City to Guangyuan in advance, currently, only morning trips from Nanhe Bus Station to the ancient city are visible, can't see the return trips; 6️⃣ Movie ticket prices in Guangyuan might be a bit cheaper, consider watching a couple of movies😏
