Girls! Don’t be fooled by the "Little Chiang Mai" filter on social media! Just last week, I drove 3 hours with my bestie to Yibin. This real on-site report + pitfall avoidance guide will help you avoid 90% of the internet-famous photo traps and snap Thai-style masterpieces that will blow up your social feed in no time 📸 🚗 [Transportation Pitfall Avoidance Guide] ✅ Navigate to "Sanyu Project," 30 minutes direct from downtown (don’t trust some German maps! The last 2 km mountain road is winding and takes 40 minutes, motion sickness sufferers remember to bring motion sickness medicine 💊) ✅ Parking is free but super hard to get on weekends! It’s recommended to go on weekdays, or arrive before 7 am on weekends to have the place all to yourself for photos~ ✅ There’s a carpool group at the scenic spot entrance! Group tickets for 10 people get 10 yuan off per ticket, just the price of a milk tea to get the same Chiang Mai experience! 🎫 [Ticket Insider Tips] 78 yuan per person includes one drink (choose from Americano, lemon tea, or iced coconut), cave exploration costs an additional 30 yuan. Students remember to bring your student ID! There are vending machines at the entrance selling mineral water and instant noodles at city prices, good for emergencies~ 📸 [Top 3 Iconic Photo Spots + Hidden Activities] 🌿 First stop: Waterfall Viewing Platform (10:00-11:30) Avoid pitfalls! Don’t crowd right in front of the waterfall! The correct way: ✅ Walk 50 meters left to the bamboo boat dock, sit in a woven bamboo boat, and use a wide-angle lens to create the illusion of "floating on an emerald lake" (remember to ask the boatman to help pose while rowing!) ✅ Climb to the Echo Stone at the top of the waterfall, squat sideways for a side profile shot with water pouring over your head, hair flying for a lively effect (bring a small fan for better shots!) ✅ At the cave entrance on the right side of the waterfall, use a flashlight to illuminate the stalactites and shoot a "Jurassic secret realm" dark-themed masterpiece (wear dark clothes for a more mysterious vibe!) 💡 Hidden activity: From 3-5 pm, slanting sunlight creates rainbows! Use your phone’s slow-motion to shoot the "milk waterfall," and go viral on TikTok~ ☕️ Second stop: Thai-style Wooden House (11:30-13:00) Avoid pitfalls! Overpriced, low-quality internet-famous coffee! The right way: ✅ The iced coconut included with the ticket is a must! Hold the coconut on the wooden house terrace and shoot the blue pool below, pretending you’re on vacation in Chiang Mai (remember to hide the straw for a cleaner shot!) ✅ The glass plank road on the cliffside wooden house, lie on the railing to shoot the lake reflection, use a wide-angle lens to create a "floating" effect (not recommended for those afraid of heights!) ✅ The vine wall on the wooden house stairs, lean sideways on the railing for a backlit silhouette, sunlight filtering through leaves on your face, instantly becoming a movie heroine! 🍱 Lunch Tips: Bring your own rice balls + braised snacks! Picnic mats are available for rent in the hammock area (10 yuan/hour), enjoy eating while watching the lake view for ultimate relaxation~ The scenic spot sells cold jelly and iced powder for 8 yuan/bowl with plenty of brown sugar! Pair it with a freshly opened coconut (15 yuan), sweet and refreshing, also great as a photo prop! 🕳️ Third stop: Cave Exploration (14:00-16:00) Avoid pitfalls! Don’t miss the hidden Jurassic rock layers! The right way: ✅ At the cave entrance, dinosaur footprint fossils—use your phone’s flashlight from the side to create an "archaeological site" vibe ✅ The stalactite tunnel’s starry ceiling—turn off your flashlight and wait 30 seconds for your eyes to adjust to the dark, then the fluorescent stones above will glow (remember to bring a fill light for portraits!) ✅ The underground river deep inside the cave—rent a kayak (50 yuan/hour) and paddle to the center, use a wide-angle lens to shoot a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" style photo ⚠️ Gear recommendations: Wear non-slip shoes! The stone paths inside the cave are slippery, bring a power bank (no signal inside, phone battery drains fast) 🌃 Fourth stop: Bonfire Party (19:00-20:30) Avoid pitfalls! Don’t miss the exclusive performances! The right way: ✅ Dai ethnic dance show every Friday and Saturday at 7 pm! Girls in Dai costumes dance by firelight, use a telephoto lens to capture dynamic shots full of story ✅ Thai massage by the bonfire (80 yuan/hour), watch the stars while getting a massage, and enjoy a free hair braiding experience afterward (remember to book in advance!) ✅ Firefly release in the children’s area (starts at 8 pm), parents remember to bring flashlights to capture warm scenes of "chasing fireflies with lanterns" 💡 Suggest leaving before 6:30 pm to avoid evening rush hour (the road back to the city is narrow and prone to traffic jams) 🎒 [Essential Survival Gear List] 1. Mosquito protection trio: mosquito repellent spray + lithospermum ointment + long pants (mosquitoes by the cave and lake can carry you away...) 2. Sun protection essentials: fisherman's hat + sunglasses + high SPF sunscreen (water mist from the waterfall + lake reflection make UV rays very strong!) 3. Photography gear: turn on HDR mode on your phone to avoid overexposure at the waterfall, use a wide-angle lens for panoramas, remember to squat to make your legs look longer! 🍜 [Local Hidden Food Gems] ✅ Lizhuang White Meat: meat slices as thin as paper, dipped in sour and spicy sauce! Recommended "Liufen Restaurant," 30 yuan per person to eat until full ✅ Yibin Baba Shao: fermented tofu + small sausages, perfect with ice beer! Recommended "Jiuchi Goose Intestines" ✅ Putaojing Cold Jelly: brown sugar water + crushed peanuts, a spicy relief must-have! Street stall sells it for 5 yuan a bowl 💡 Final reminder: The scenic spot is only 30 minutes from downtown Yibin, it’s recommended to stay in the city (recommended "Luneng Hilton," where you can also take a walk by the Yangtze River at night). The next day, you can take the cliff cable car at Cuiping Mountain to overlook the three rivers, or check out the riverside rocks and lighthouse at Xuetan Park, pretending you’re in Kenting! This summer, escape the city noise and come to Sanyu Waterfall Coffee to get your Thai-style masterpiece! Remember to save this guide and follow my route to avoid any pitfalls~ ❤️

During the Anti-Japanese War, the town welcomed over a dozen universities and research institutions, including Tongji University and the Academia Sinica, with the sixteen-character telegram: "Tongji University and Datong relocate to Sichuan. Lizhuang welcomes you. All needs will be provided by the local government." It became one of the "Four Great Cultural Centers of the Anti-Japanese War," alongside Chongqing, Chengdu, and Kunming.

The Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area's autumn-themed chrysanthemum exhibition in 2025 will grandly open on October 27th and last for about a month. This autumn event, continuing for over sixty years, carries the theme "Fragrance Meets the Three Rivers, Chrysanthemums Gather at Cuiping Mountain," perfectly blending natural wild charm, cultural heritage, and artistic creativity, inviting you to embark on a dreamlike journey where mountains, waters, and seas of flowers intertwine. Since the first chrysanthemum exhibition in the early 1960s, the elegant scent of chrysanthemums has been deeply rooted in the memories of Yibin residents. After twenty-seven editions of refinement, the 2025 exhibition adopts a "natural planting" design concept, using chrysanthemums as brush and ink to sketch an artistic conception of "though man-made, it seems naturally formed" on the natural canvas of Cuiping Mountain. Here, you can not only admire the flourishing and brilliant chrysanthemums but also feel their character of blooming despite frost, elegant and noble, and appreciate the vitality and resilience of life blossoming in autumn. This exhibition carefully plans a "Two Hearts, Two Lines" touring layout: Lingzhu Square transforms into a stage blending chrysanthemum art and community activities, while the Light Sports Center offers a space for both active and relaxed flower viewing; the Yanshui Creek route and West Gate route provide varied scenic experiences, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the chrysanthemum feast. Come to Cuiping Mountain and join this autumn appointment!

Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin wrote "A History of Chinese Architecture" here by oil lamp light; masters like Fu Sinian and Li Ji persevered in scholarship in ancient residences. More than 12,000 scholars spent six years ensuring the continuation of Chinese cultural heritage amid the flames of war. Walking on the bluestone streets of the ancient town today, you can still feel the sincere spirit of "serving the country through knowledge." This National Day, come to Lizhuang for a date with Jiangnan scenery and cultural soul, and make the most of your holiday time~

The aroma of liquor wafts across the city, and the confluence of three rivers captivates the heart. Yibin is often described as a city steeped in Wuliangye liquor. However, few know that half an hour from the city center, nestled on the riverbank, lies a 1,460-year-old ancient town: Lizhuang. This thousand-year-old town, known as the "First Town on the Yangtze River," was a cultural hub during the Anti-Japanese War. Winding bluestone paths meander along the riverside, ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties quietly tell a story of history. You must try Lizhuang white meat. The master chef slices the meat fresh, thin as a cicada's wing, and the sauce melts in your mouth with a rich, yet not greasy, flavor. Just thinking about it makes me salivate. The Moon Field Scenic Area is particularly captivating at night. As a rowboat glides past its reflections, you'll understand what it means to "dream back to the Jiangnan region overnight."

This is my second time visiting Yibin Lizhuang Ancient Town this year. This time I spent a whole day exploring here. I didn’t expect it to have such a rich history and cultural heritage. What’s even more amazing is how it looks after the lights come on at night. For a reverse trip around Chengdu during the National Day holiday, this is a great destination. - 📍 Location: Yibin Lizhuang Ancient Town 🚄 High-speed rail: Chengdu — Yibin East 🎫 Ticket: Free After getting off, take a taxi for about ten kilometers to reach here. - ✔️ Scenic Spot Highlights 🍁 Deep historical and cultural heritage: You can visit the old site of Tongji University, the former residence of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, the China Lizhuang Cultural War of Resistance Exhibition Hall, and the Spiral Hall. After touring, you’ll find this ancient town truly has its own unique character, not just a typical commercialized ancient town. 🍁 The night view here is really stunning. After the lights come on, it feels completely different from the daytime. There are gondola boat night tours and various immersive and exciting nighttime performances. I heard there will be special programs during the National Day holiday. 🍁 Authentic local life vibe, with even a middle school inside. Cobblestone streets, old teahouses, traditional distilleries… The blend of local life and the scenic area makes you want to come back next time. - ✔️ Photo Spots ❶ Main photo spots are located at the South Plaza of Moon Field. ❷ The red wall with the large characters “Lizhuang” and the bookshelf are at Zhilan Book House. ❸ The infinity pool overlooking the ancient town’s night view is at Guilunfang. Using Zhuangmen as the central axis, on the left is the Moon Field scenic area, where the night view is beautiful and photogenic, especially during the blue hour at sunset. - ✔️ Notes 👉 It gets cooler in autumn, so check the weather and bring a jacket and umbrella. 👉 Don’t miss the night view and performances at Lizhuang Ancient Town. 👉 Of course, you have to try the local specialties: white cake, ranmian noodles, and boiled pork. The flavors at Pangliyuan and Laijinyuxuan are very nice. 👉 After finishing all the sightseeing, it will be past 9 PM, so it’s recommended to stay overnight inside. I stayed at Guilunfang and had a great experience. Their infinity pool offers a wonderful atmosphere and happiness, overlooking the ancient town at sunset. 👉 The scenic spots inside are great for photo shoots; Linglongyue Hanfu Museum is also nice. 👉 Lizhuang Ancient Town is quite large, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes.
