Neijiang | Two Days and One Night in the City of Sweetness
To be honest, choosing Neijiang was indeed a counter-tourism strategy for the May Day holiday, to avoid the crowds and traffic . Here, I'll briefly talk about my personal insights and feelings over these two days. I hope it helps friends who choose to visit Neijiang .
🧳Mode of travel: Self-driving
✅Day1 (Overcast and rainy weather):
🌟Arrived at Dongxing Old Street at noon, randomly picked a noodle shop for lunch, finished strolling in over ten minutes, parking was inconvenient.
🌟Drove for seven or eight minutes to reach Daqian Garden (one of the reasons for visiting Neijiang), the previous article was specifically about this place, parking is free.
🌟Arrived at a hotel near Wanda Plaza in the evening (the hotel was not well chosen, no need to recommend), surrounded by delicious food, just pick at will.
✅Day2 (Clear after the rain):
🌟Slept until naturally waking up, drove about an hour from the hotel to Longchang Shihpai Archway, arrived at noon, a small attraction, toured for over ten minutes. Lunch: Weidaojia Chinese Restaurant (recommended, located within the scenic area), about 30 yuan per person, generous portions.
🌟After lunch, drove for over ten minutes to reach Guyu Lake (cover photo taken near Guyu Temple), as it was a family trip, went to a rural fun children's park (if time is limited, you can skip this, about 38 yuan per person)
🌟Then visited Wawa Mountain Wetland Park and Confucius Culture Park, since a lot of time was spent in the park earlier, the last two attractions were just a quick visit, strolled around casually, and then drove home.
📍Wawa Mountain: Didn't explore deeply, just checked in and took photos, the weather was good, the environment was nice, the roads were quite narrow, but the road surface was good.
📍Confucius Culture Park: A must-visit spot in the Guyu Lake scenic area, the Confucius statue is spectacular .
✅PS: Since it was also my first time in Neijiang, there were definitely many shortcomings in preparation, just sharing personal travel experiences, for reference only.

Sichuan Longchang | Memories of the ancient city under the stone archway
| Memories of the ancient city under the stone archway. 📝 Each city carries its unique cultural heritage, but how can people feel this heritage? One way is through local customs, and another is through the eternity preserved on objects. This is perfectly evidenced on the stone archway in Longchang.
🔸 Here is the largest group of stone archways in the country, with a total of 17, of which there are 7 in Nanguan and 6 in Beiguan, all built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, neatly arranged on the ancient Bashu road at the south and north gates of the county.
🔸 The stone archway has weathered the storms and still stands tall. Each carved name, each piece of bluestone slab carrying the ancient stories, makes people feel the changes of time, as if traveling through time, these are living history stories.
🔸 There are various types of archways, including 5 virtue archways, 4 filial piety archways, 2 merit archways, chastity archways, filial son archways, hundred longevity archways, mountain gate archways, town mountain archways, viewing archways, etc...
🔸 In 2013, it was rated as a 4A-level tourist attraction by the state and is also a national key cultural relics protection unit.
📍 Location: Nanguan Stone Archway Scenic Area and Beiguan Stone Archway Scenic Area in Longchang County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, both have parking lots.
⌛️ It is recommended for tourists to go to Nanguan first, then to Beiguan. Nanguan was built earlier, and Beiguan is the most recently developed. You can enjoy the night view lights around 8 pm.
💰 Free admission
🍜 After visiting, you can try a bowl of delicious bowl lamb in Longchang County. The price is affordable and the portion is enough! 🍲💫
