#chengdutrip You have to visit Dujiangyan at least once in your life~ Wander through the ancient town of Guanxian, feel the evening breeze on Nanqiao Bridge, and witness the legendary “Blue Tears”✨ After going three times, I’ve finally figured out a chill and efficient route — sharing it with you all! 🚉 How to Get There: Dujiangyan has 3 high-speed rail stations: Dujiangyan Station Lidui Park Station ✅ (Recommended! Closest to the scenic area) Yingbin Road Station Tip: Choose Lidui Park Station, it's just a few minutes' walk to the main attractions — super convenient! 📅 Day 1 Itinerary: Yangtianwo Plaza → Guanxian Ancient Town → Wenmiao Street → Ming City Wall → Nanqiao Bridge → Tianfu Source ("Blue Tears") 📍About the Attractions: ① Yangtianwo Plaza (Free Entry, ~20 mins) Just a short 3–4 minute walk from Lidui Park Station. Don’t miss the giant panda statue — a popular photo spot (even Dilraba shot there!). ② Guanxian Ancient Town + Ming City Wall (Free Entry, ~1–2 hours) Charming old streets filled with snacks, shops, and beautiful scenery. The Ming City Wall is especially great for photos — perfect for your travel album. ③ Wenmiao Street (Free Entry, ~20 mins) A short, photogenic street featuring vintage buildings, retro props, and phoenix trees. You'll see the bold characters “Dujiangyan” here too — a great IG spot. ④ Nanqiao Bridge + Tianfu Source (Free Entry, ~1 hour) The night view here is a must-see — with glowing turquoise waters and a cool breeze. Come around 7 PM when the lights turn on and enjoy tea by the river. ✨Don’t confuse the two: Nanqiao and Tianfu Source are not in the exact same spot, but they’re only a few minutes apart on foot. #travel

Following the exit of the Dujiangyan scenic area, walk to the corner near the South Bridge, and you will discover this unassuming yet charming Ming Dynasty City Wall. Although it might not be very eye-catching and is easily missed by tourists, it is definitely worth stopping by for a closer look. Dujiangyan, formerly known as Guan County, saw the construction of its city wall for the first time during the Ming Dynasty under the call of Zhu Yuanzhang. However, the wall was damaged during the Qing Dynasty. What we see today is the Ming Dynasty City Wall that has been carefully reconstructed later on. Although the journey to the city wall is short, along the way, you can't miss the young ladies dressed in various ancient costumes, busy taking beautiful photos. On the wall, the scenery is enchanting, and the small buildings on both sides are also unique, filled with the breath of history. Even just a short distance, it is enough to leave you with memorable check-in photos, recording the wonderful moments of your trip to Dujiangyan.
