📍Zigong Colored Lantern Park. 1 hour and 30 minutes bullet train away from Chengdu City the capital city of Sichuan Province. We took the train from the East Railway Station in Chengdu and arrive at the Zigong Railway Station. The Lantern Park's entrance fee is 118 rmb per person. There are also food stalls outside and inside the park so there's easy access for food if you get hungry. Zigong City is one of China's historical and cultural cities. It is called the Lantern Town of the South Kingdom. All of these lanterns are made of bamboo, silk, paper, glass bottles, and porcelain. We stayed at Yingxiang International Hotel which is a little bit over 400 rmb a night but there are so many cheaper options to choose from. This is a MUST Visit during the long CNY and Spring Festival holiday. #valentinescape #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Yesterday, I embarked on an adventure with friends, traversing the captivating Danxia landforms of Zigong along Wufu Road. Our journey began at Jianshan, where we explored the Chuanshandong cave near Qiaotou. We then proceeded to Guanyinge Old Street (formerly the Nongtuan Township), concluding our exploration at Chang'en Temple in Feilongxia. While previous visits to Jianshan and Nongtuan primarily focused on sightseeing, this trip emphasized the unique distribution of Danxia landforms in the area. Venturing from Maoxiang Villa, we entered Gongjing Qiaotou Town, where we encountered our first natural bridge formed by the Danxia landscape in Zigong. Conversations with local villagers revealed the existence of another natural bridge hidden within the nearby mountains. Wufu Road winds through the Guanyinge community, where a short stretch of old street retains a nostalgic charm. Amidst the vibrant spring scenery, we arrived at Feilongxia, immersing ourselves in the natural "oxygen bar" of the canyon. Our journey culminated at Chang'en Temple, adorned with blossoming magnolia flowers. The entire route lies primarily within the Feilongxia Provincial Forest Park, where towering cliffs and steep mountains showcase the stunning Danxia landforms. This adventure proved to be a refreshing escape, offering a chance to rejuvenate both body and mind.

In the beautiful spring, "Walking in the Countryside and Discovering Zigong" traces the banks of Tieqian Creek. From Banqiao Middle School, we go downstream along Tieqian Creek, passing Baifang Village and Zhangba Village in Banqiao Town, Fushun County, Sanhe Village in Jiuhong Township, Yantan District, and finally end at Xima Village in Yongnian Town, Fushun County. Along the way, we checked in at the Zhuertang Reservoir Dam, (old and new) Zhangba Bridge, Heidanzi Tiaodun Weir Bridge, Qilonzui Tankou Weir, Tiaodun Bridge, and Sanhechang Bridge. We also visited several ancient houses such as the Lei Family Courtyard and the Dai Family Courtyard, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the rapeseed fields along the Tieqian Creek.
