I got a change to view huangjiguang’s tomb down in zhongjiang deyang sichuan province, it was pretty an amazing trip for person who’s so interested in military science like me, during the early days of China, huang sacrificed his fresh for the rescue of other colleague members in the battalion during the fight against the Americans and the British, hence became a remarkable martyr not in the history of zhongjiang but the whole China.i couldn’t be anywhere else other this memorial hall, thanks for Ctrip’s affordable and mobile services that made it happen #wintergetaway

💥 This is not clickbait! A real-life version of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" has been discovered near Chengdu! Travel back to the Paleozoic Era without diving, and take photos that look like stills from "Candle in the Tomb"! ✨ Why is this a paradise for geology enthusiasts? ▫️Relics of the ancient Tethys Sea from 230 million years ago! Trilobite fossils are hidden in the rock layers. ▫️3 km underground river rafting! Cross 12 connected karst caves with a flashlight. ▫️A rare combination of sea caves and karst caves! The stalactites look like coral reefs. ▫️1.5 hours' drive from Chengdu! A free wild scenic area (please take your trash with you!) 🚗 Cave Exploration Guide 📍Exact location: Longtai Town, Zhongjiang County, Deyang City (navigating to "Ancient Seabed Cave Gorge" will lead you astray! Search for "Longjing Waterfall" instead) ✅Driving: Chengdu → Chengba Expressway → Zhongjiang Exit → Longtai Town (the village roads are narrow, so we recommend driving an SUV) ✅High-speed rail: Chengdu East → Zhongjiang Station → 40-minute taxi ride (approx. CNY 60) ✅Hiking: 3 km hike from Longtai Town (there are signs along the way, but no street lights) ⚠️Pro tip: Don't wear white shoes! The muddy roads and streams in the cave will ruin them. 📸 Best Photo Spots 1️⃣ "Longjing Waterfall" The Milky Way falls from the sky at the cave entrance. Stand under the waterfall and take a wide-angle silhouette photo. 2️⃣ "Deep Sea Passage" Take a backlit photo with a red flashlight. The ripples on the rock walls look like waves. 3️⃣ "Fossil Layer" Touch trilobite fossils! The details are as clear as a microscope. 4️⃣ "Stalactite Forest" Use your phone's ultra-wide-angle lens to take photos that look like scenes from "Dune." 5️⃣ "Underground River Ferry" Take photos on a rubber boat. The headlamp will create a starry river on the water. 🧗 Explorer's Equipment 🔦 Must-have: Waterproof headlamp (the cave is pitch black! Your phone's flashlight won't be enough) 👖 Clothing: Cargo pants + non-slip wading shoes + windbreaker (the cave is 18°C all year round) 🎒 Essentials: Waterproof phone bag, folding trekking pole, quick-dry towel ⏰ Timing: The underground river has the most water during the rainy season (June–August), but be careful! 🍜 Local Food 🔥 [Hidden Gem] Longtai Town Fried Eel: A rustic flavor cooked on a wood stove 🔥 [Must-try] Zhongjiang Noodle Banquet: Intangible cultural heritage handmade noodles with ten toppings 🔥 [Bonus] "Fossil Cake" sold by an old lady outside the cave: CNY 3 each, mochi shaped like dinosaur eggs 🚫 99% of People Don't Know These Taboos ❌ Don't enter the cave alone! Some paths lead to undeveloped areas. ❌ Don't enter when the water level rises during the rainy season (check the warning signs at the cave entrance). ❌ You can touch the fossils, but don't damage them! You will be held legally responsible for damaging relics. ❌ There is no signal in the cave! Download offline maps in advance.

The rain on the green tiles is like ink that hasn't dried, and the moss-covered archway stretches in the morning mist. When I stepped on the first bluestone slab in Cangshan, it was like I had activated a secret time switch. The aroma of tea and old wood wafted from behind the creaking wooden door, and the wind chimes on the eaves shattered 600 years of time. 🚶♂ The alleys tell stories Hey, look at the cracks in the bricks! Each brick from the Ming and Qing dynasties has the fingerprints of the craftsmen, and the hitching post at the corner still has the bite marks of warhorses. Be sure to touch the "breathing wall" on South Street. The green bricks are mixed with rammed earth, making it warm in winter and cool in summer like a natural air conditioner (even the cats in town love to nap here 🐈). 🛕 Dance on the temple roof The flying eaves of Chaolong Temple are a hidden gem! Climb to the viewing platform on the back mountain to see the "ballet on the roof ridge" - the nine-story Xieshan roof looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, and on sunny days, the reflection of the glazed tiles can turn the whole street golden 🌇. Remember to bring some sunflower seeds and sit on the stone steps of the mountain gate to listen to the old abbot strike the morning bell, which can wake up the wild pigeons three kilometers away 🕊. 🎭 Survival guide for the ancient theater The Sichuan opera that starts on time every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon is not just a performance! The white-bearded troupe leader will randomly pick someone from the audience to go on stage and paint a mask (don't ask me how I know this 😭). The most amazing thing is that they use bamboo baskets as gongs and tiles as clappers, and a performance of "The Legend of the White Snake" can make you laugh until you cry. It's best to get a seat early, as the tobacco smoke from the uncle in the back row can create a three-meter barrier 🌫. 🍜 Spicy food that will make the kids next door cry Look for the third yellow banyan tree on North Street! Under the tree is the unmarked "Wang's Spicy Hot Pot," where three generations have used the same iron pot to make the broth. Be sure to try the hidden menu item - "Ghost Food" (actually just pig brain and fish mint), which is so spicy that you'll be jumping up and down but can't stop eating 🥢. By the way, if you buy a bowl of ice jelly and sit on the stone pier at the door, the passing auntie will give you some homemade dried sweet potatoes 🍠. 🛏 Sleep in the folds of history Highly recommend the East Wing Room on the second floor of "Qingyun Inn"! The carved canopy bed comes with its own BGM - the night wind hums "Jasmine Flower" as it passes through the window lattice, and when you open the wooden window, you can see the entire Milky Way falling into the courtyard 🪔. If you think the old house is too noisy, go to the "Time Capsule" B&B on New Street, where the smart toilet is paired with Sichuan embroidery bed curtains. This magical mix is something only Sichuanese people could come up with 🤣. While other ancient towns are busy replacing their lanterns with electronic ones, the people of Cangshan are still using tung oil to maintain their wooden doors and well water to chill their watermelons. Time here is not a specimen, but a still-beating ancient heart - if you don't believe me, go sit in the tea shop at the South Gate, where the boiling water in the copper pot is clearly the sound of rain from the Zhengde period of the Ming dynasty.

The Year of the Snake has begun, and the Spring Festival holiday is almost over. With two days left, where should you go? I thought of the "China Ancient Seabed Cave Scenic Area" in Zhongjiang County, Deyang, known as "China's Antelope Canyon". Departing from Chengdu, you will pass Guanghan and Lianshan (famous for its twice-cooked pork). Most of the journey is on the highway, with a short section of mountain road at the end. The journey takes about an hour. The scenic area is worth visiting. Tips: Make sure to visit on a sunny day! Today is the first day of spring, and the weather in Chengdu is great! The light can shine into the cave. With a little photo editing, you can get that red color. The best time to visit is between 12:00 and 16:00, when the sun is shining! Here you can see three of the world's great geological wonders! Tickets: The original price is CNY 55, but you can get a discount on some platforms, around CNY 48. There's also a big surprise here! Countless ancient houses have been moved here from all over the country! There is Wei Zheng's house, and the house of Yang Shiqi, a minister of the Ming Dynasty (moved from Jiangxi, with each brick and piece of wood numbered, left, right, and then restored)! The scenic area is still under construction, but it will be a major highlight when completed! It is said to be a scenic spot created by Chengdu Cultural Investment. In short, come here to see "China's Antelope Canyon", experience traditional Chinese architecture, and enjoy Lianshan twice-cooked pork or visit Sanxingdui on the way. One day is enough.

A 2-day, 1-night art therapy vacation! Deyang has more to offer than Sanxingdui, such as the Stone Carving Park, Confucian Temple, and Suxinji. 💙We stayed overnight at Suxinji. 🏠: Yinlu Suxinji 🕹: Zhongjiang County, Deyang 🚘: 1 hour from Chengdu (Parking available at the hotel) 👀Visual The professional work of designer Qi Shanshan is everywhere.

It's a great place to take photos in a dress. There are many delicious foods in the Confucian Temple, but they are a bit homogeneous. It's nice to take a walk after a meal. A 2-day, 1-night trip around Chengdu. Deyang is highly recommended for a relaxing and peaceful journey.

Just an hour's drive from Chengdu, Deyang is home to this beautiful homestay. It opened this year, and the facilities are great. It's also pet-friendly! I love the room design. We stayed in a spacious suite with large floor-to-ceiling windows that let us enjoy the view outside. The door opened onto a large lawn, and my dog had a great time playing there. I was lucky enough to try their yoga class. The teacher was very responsible, and the movements were very standard. I felt so relaxed after the class. They also have Lunar New Year activities, such as word puzzles, writing the character "fu" (福), and smelling ink. They even have a photographer to take family photos and print them on the spot. It's so ceremonial. Oh, and they have both Chinese and Western breakfast options, and the combinations are rich and nutritious. This homestay is perfect for a romantic getaway or a vacation.

Zhongjiang Noodle Village is about 4 km from Zhongjiang County. The rainbow road in front of the village is built on sunflower fields, offering a panoramic view of the noodle village. It's a leisurely and comfortable place. Here, you can go to the village to see how Zhongjiang noodles are made. The noodle village is a "Hui"-shaped courtyard dwelling with white walls and black tiles. When the sun is shining, the roofs of every household will be covered with noodles like curtains and gauze. Villagers shuttle between them to dry the noodles. The scene is beautiful and spectacular. The biggest feature of Zhongjiang noodles is its hollow shape, which is "straight and hollow". There are 16 rivers in Zhongjiang, and the main stream, Kaijiang River, is 52 km long in the territory, with a drainage area of 237 square kilometers, which surrounds Zhongjiang County. The production area of Zhongjiang noodles is concentrated in 11 towns and more than 300 families in the upper reaches of Kaijiang River. The noodles are made with underground water below 30 meters. This kind of water source is strictly protected, and the water quality is clean with low impurity content. It plays a fundamental role in the production process of Zhongjiang noodles. This is also the main reason why Zhongjiang noodle restaurants lose the flavor of Zhongjiang noodles when they open in other places. Nowadays, Zhongjiang noodles are not only a provincial intangible cultural heritage protection project, but also a national geographical indication protection product, with an annual output of 8 million jin and an annual output value of more than 200 million yuan. They are exported to the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and other places.

The Southwest Jiedong Gorge Scenic Area is located in Zhongjiang County, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. It was originally named Zhongjiang Shilin Valley Scenic Area, but was renamed because the original name did not highlight the most prominent scenery in the scenic area. Many scenic spots are either called gorges or caves, and this is the first time we have seen a cave gorge. Looking far away in the scenic area, you can see hills, grasslands, lakes, rivers and ancient buildings. When you go deep into the place where the rocks and lake water meet, the layered joints of Danxia rocks are also caves and gorges, which are strange and difficult to describe. You can see the photos at a glance.
