The ancient town here will break the previous perception of tourist ancient towns. Although it is a scenic spot, the prices here are very, very cheap. There is a snack street with stalls and small shops, and even accommodation starts at NT$400. Here you can spend the most luxurious vacation with the least money. Breakfast is 4 RMB, including a huge fried dough stick with soy milk, 10 RMB for a baked cake, and 10 RMB for a huge strawberry candied haws. This shop is full of sincerity and there are no tricks. Even the Panda souvenirs, I saw on a platform that said where to buy them at wholesale prices, but when I got there, they said the 10 yuan bags were sold out and the rest were a rip-off. Here, near Nanqiao, I can compare prices from three different stores. There are a lot of 10 yuan bags with a lot of choices and varieties. I don't have to bargain, the boss will post the price himself. For those who like ancient towns and shopping, this place is highly recommended! There will be some changes in the vendors in the morning and evening, so it’s fun both in the morning and at night! 🕰️Business hours: 24 hours 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: Old town street 💰Average consumption: 30 RMB per meal, you can eat until you are full #2月好去地方2025

The ultimate guide to a one-day trip from Chengdu 🚄 to Dujiangyan is here! Visit Mount Qingcheng and pay homage to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. When you come to Chengdu, always save a day for Dujiangyan. Empty your mind amidst the mountains and rivers. Follow this itinerary and you won't regret it! Feel free to copy it. 🐼Overall Route Panda Valley → Yangtianwo Square → Guanxian Ancient City → Dujiangyan Irrigation System → Wenmiao Street → Mount Fuji 🗻 → South Bridge . 🚈Transportation Chengdu City → 🚇 Metro Line 2 to Xipu Station (Exit A1) → Intercity Train to Lidui Park Station (🎫 ¥10, 30 mins) . 1️⃣ Panda Valley—💰¥55 for adults, ¥27 for students Take a 10-minute taxi ride to Panda Valley. Panda Valley has a pleasant environment, and it's recommended to visit in the morning. The pandas are super cute! Plan for about 2 hours. Remember to book tickets in advance, especially during holidays!!! 2️⃣ Yangtianwo Square—💰Free Get off at Lidui Park Station, and you'll see the giant panda selfie statue, the same one Dilraba Dilmurat took a photo with! There's a market nearby, but the central area is kept clear for taking photos 📷. 3️⃣ Guanxian Ancient City—💰Free Enter through Xuanhua Gate, and you'll be in Guanxian Ancient City. There are many shops and restaurants along the way. You'll pass by Baifu Gate and the ruins of the Water Conservancy Office. 4️⃣ Dujiangyan Irrigation System—💰¥80 Take a taxi to Gate 6 of Qin Yan Tower! Starting from a higher point saves effort. Qin Yan Tower → Erwang Temple → Anlan Suspension Bridge → Yuzui → Feishayan → Baopingkou → Fulong Temple → Lidui Park Plan for about 3–4 hours. You'll marvel at the wisdom of the ancients!! 5️⃣ Wenmiao Street—💰Free Walk 1 km from the Dujiangyan Irrigation System to Wenmiao Street! The whole street has a vintage feel, but the most Instagrammable earthen walls and gray tiles have been demolished❗️❗️❗️ 6️⃣ Panda Train at the foot of Mount Fuji 🗻 Navigate to Dujiangyan Liyutuo Bridge to see the panda train coming from the snowy mountains. You don't need to take this train; it's very close by taxi or bike. 7️⃣ Covered Bridge (Blue Bridge)—💰Free The South Bridge is connected to Guanxian Ancient City. Visit the Covered Bridge in the evening to see the "blue tears"💧. The lights are on from 7pm to 11pm. It's even more stunning when it's completely dark!! What you see with your naked eye is green, but it appears blue in photos! Amazing!!! .

Dujiangyan will make anyone who doesn't do their research think twice! After a long day of walking, I stayed up late to put together this guide to save you some legwork. I highly recommend saving it! ⭐ ❶ Dujiangyan is a long, narrow scenic area. If you want to see the whole of Dujiangyan, you have to climb the mountain and then go back down! If you don't want to be crying with sore legs on the way down, make sure you do your research before you go! ❷ You can think of it like this: the area surrounding it is called Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The river that flows through it is Dujiangyan (the city), and next to it is the ancient city of Guanxian, which was built to complement the scenery. The attractions are all in one place, but they are quite spread out and far apart. Dujiangyan day trip itinerary: 👇 Panda Valley + Yingtianwo Selfie Spot 🐼 + Dujiangyan Scenic Area + Guanxian Ancient City + Blue Tears at Night 💧 1️⃣st stop: Panda Valley This is a base with 🐼, where you can see pandas eating and more. You can choose whether or not to go based on your own situation. 2️⃣nd stop: Yingtianwo Selfie Spot at Panda Square 🤳🏻 Check in at the same spot as Dilraba Dilmurat 3️⃣rd stop: Dujiangyan Scenic Area Tour route: [Highly recommend going backwards!] Enter the scenic area through Gate 4 and buy a one-way elevator ticket ➡️ Yulei Pavilion ➡️ Go down the mountain to Xiguan ➡️ Songmao Ancient Road ➡️ Erwang Temple ➡️ Anlan Suspension Bridge ➡️ Yuzui ➡️ Feisha Weir ➡️ Anpingkou ➡️ Nan Bridge (Trust me, this is the most leg-saving and direct route!) 4️⃣th stop: Guanxian Ancient City + Blue Tears Go down from Dujiangyan Scenic Area to Guanxian Ancient City. The ancient city is quite commercialized, but the food is pretty good. We had rabbit head recommended by a local friend. After dinner, walk 5 minutes to Tianfuyuan to see the Blue Tears! ✅ Dujiangyan Travel Tips: ❶ Gate 4 is the only gate with an elevator to the top of the mountain. It is recommended to enter through Gate 4. If you enter through other gates, you have to climb the mountain the whole way! Climb! Climb up the mountain! ❷ Don't go down from Qin Yan Tower! During the Spring Festival, the queue is so long you'll question your life choices. ❸ If you just want to see the Blue Tears, you don't need a ticket 🎫. Tianfuyuan is the best place to see the Blue Tears, and it's outside the scenic area.

💕 As the backyard and summer resort of Chengdu people, it is strongly recommended that those who travel to Chengdu should definitely reserve a day for Dujiangyan. Compared to Chengdu, this place is more fun and the scenery is more beautiful. Here, you can not only see cute giant and red pandas, but also retro and artistic streets, as well as the cool and pleasant evening breeze at Nanqiao. 💕 🚏 Route: Chengdu - Panda Valley - Yingtianwo Square - Guanxian Ancient City - Wenmiao Street/Wenmiao Mountain Street - West Street/Ming City Wall - Nanqiao - Chengdu 🚄 Chengdu - Dujiangyan: You can take a 30-minute bullet train from Xipu to Lidui Park Station, or take a tourist bus from Chunxi Road. 📍 Panda Valley: Compared to the Panda Base in Chengdu, the environment here is more natural and primitive. There are more than 10 giant pandas and more than 20 red pandas in the park. You can see all the pandas by following the scenic route, but the red pandas are at the innermost part, so whether you can see them depends on your luck. Remember to book tickets in advance, 55r/person. 📍 Yingtianwo Square: There is a huge selfie panda here, which is a must-visit spot in Dujiangyan. You can take photos like Dilraba Dilmurat. Moreover, it is very close to Lidui Park Station, and only 200 meters away from Xuanhua Gate of Guanxian Ancient City. 📍 Guanxian Ancient City: This ancient city of Guanxian was built during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and is an ancient city that has accompanied the thousand-year-old Dujiangyan. It retains many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, the ancient city serves as a supporting facility for the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, with many delicious foods and interesting shops inside. 📍 Wenmiao Street/Wenmiao Mountain Street: Wenmiao Street is lined with antique ornaments, and there are three big characters "Dujiangyan" which are great for photos. At the end of the street, there is a cultural and creative shop, which is also great for photos. Wenmiao Mountain Street has many unique coffee shops, and Li Coffee at the corner is very popular. 📍 West Street/Ming City Wall: West Street, built along the mountain, is the starting point of the Guansong Tea Horse Road. It still retains the old Chengdu style, with various foods and many artistic shops, making it very suitable for leisurely strolling and experiencing its unique charm. 📍 Nanqiao: Nanqiao is an important passage connecting the ancient city and the Dujiangyan Scenic Area. The bridge corridor is designed in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At night, the breeze with water vapor gently blows, which is very cool. Under the lights, the water appears light blue, which is what people call "blue tears". It's really beautiful. 🏕 Surrounding attractions: Dujiangyan Scenic Area, Qingcheng Mountain, Zhongshu Pavilion, these attractions are also worth visiting.

There are many options for taking photos in ethnic costumes. My personal suggestion is that the best time to take photos is in the afternoon and evening, but there will also be more people. You can choose to sit on the city wall or take photos facing the tower. . ✔️Fourth stop: Confucian Temple/Confucian Temple Back Street After leaving Guanxian Ancient City, you can go to the old street Confucian Temple Street for a stroll~ There are many retro old objects here, you can take photos and check in.

This time we came to the back mountain, we stayed at the Yun End Hot Spring Hotel in Qingcheng Mountain It's in the scenic area, the main purpose is to come for the hot spring♨️, not only there are outdoor soup pools here, but also indoor ones~ It's very suitable for climbing the mountain and returning to the hotel for dinner and rest and then soaking in the hot spring♨️ with the little sisters, looking at the misty mountains, while soaking in the hot spring while enjoying nature! Soaking in the hot spring can not only relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, but also relax after soaking, and sleep until the next day naturally wake up! .

If you only explore downtown Chengdu, you'll miss the breathtaking scenery of the "Source of Tianfu." As a local guide who frequently takes visitors around, I'm sharing this one-day itinerary that combines cultural depth with leisure experiences, plus a bonus multi-day travel guide at the end! ——Dujiangyan One-Day Tour—— 🐼 Panda Valley Depart from Chengdu at 7:30 AM and head straight to Panda Valley. Compared to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, this spot has fewer crowds and even offers chances to see free-roaming red pandas peeking from the boardwalks. The drive takes about 50 minutes—ask your driver to park at the innermost lot to avoid an 800-meter uphill walk. 🌉 Dujiangyan Irrigation System Arrive at Qinyan Tower by 10:30 AM (entry with ID card, ticket ¥80). I highly recommend hiring a professional guide for ¥98—without expert commentary, the Fish Mouth Levee, Flying Sand Weir, and Bottle-Neck Channel are just piles of rocks. From the vantage point, marvel at the 2,000-year-old hydraulic wisdom of Li Bing and his son. 🍜 Guanxian Ancient Town Noon is perfect for strolling through Guanxian Ancient Town. Enter through Xuanhua Gate and snack on local delights like Zhong Duck and Cultural Revolution Spring Rolls along Xingfu Road. Wear anti-slip shoes for the Ming-Qing era cobblestone streets. Elderly companions can rest at West Street teahouses—¥5 jasmine tea comes with unlimited refills all afternoon. 💎 Blue Tears at Langqiao Bridge By 6 PM, grab a bite at "Grandma Ye's Soybean Cakes" near Nanqiao. At 7:30 PM sharp, the bridge lights up—stand upstream for the best "Blue Tears" photos and use slow shutter speeds. Pre-arrange for your driver to wait in the parking lot to avoid post-show taxi shortages. 🚘 Travel Tips Opt for a chartered car—it's hassle-free! Knowledgeable drivers double as guides while covering Dujiangyan, Panda Valley, Yangtianwo, Guanxian Ancient Town, and Blue Tears seamlessly. Perfect for families with door-to-door service, saving time and energy without backtracking.

#summervacay Core Identity: Living Water Archive "A time-capsule town engineered by the same genius that tamed the Min River – where cobbled streets follow irrigation veins, and teahouse elders still debate Li Bing’s blueprints over mahjong clicks." Mission: Navigate the labyrinth where Qing Dynasty guildhalls, Taoist water temples, and steamed bun fog collide – without drowning in tourist kitsch. ⬇️ Descent: Infiltrating the Hydraulic Maze Location: Downtown Dujiangyan (wrapping around the UNESCO water system; entry gates 500m from Nanqiao Bridge). Entry: Free, 24/7 (alleys always open; temples/museums ¥10-30). Weak Points: 5:30–7:30AM: Misty alleyways belong to tofu grinders & bird-cage elders. 8–10PM: Lanterns ignite – crowds thin, street food sizzles. Extract Route: From Dujiangyan Scenic Area, cross Nanqiao Bridge – enter via West Gate (least guarded). 🛠️ Tactics: Street-Level Engagement Combat Zone Targets Rules of Engagement Ming-Qing Street Black-timbered shops + stone canals Follow water gutters – they lead to secret courtyards City God Temple 400-year-old Taoist water deities Offer incense clockwise – staff punish counterflow Duck Neck Alley Là wèi (spicy brine) immersion Join queues – no menu = legitimacy (¥15/duck) Teahouse Trenches Mahjong wars & keeper intel Order "Gāshān Yúnwù" tea (¥20) – unlocks river gossip ☢️ Siege: Surviving the Old Town Gauntlet Enemy 1: Crowd Tides → **Cut through Qinglong Alley – parallel route, 90% fewer humans. Enemy 2: Slippery Dynasty Stones → Footwear: Rubber soles (canals mist + grease = lethal). Enemy 3: "Antique" Scams → Code red: Real Qing porcelain never sold on streets. Extract Point: Wenchang Palace (hidden hilltop temple) – stairs behind roasted chestnut cart. 🕵️ Hidden Truths: Water Keeper Secrets Ghost Canals: Touch the 3rd stone left of West Gate – original Qin Dynasty channel (still flowing). Dawn Ritual: At 5:45AM, Tofu Granny Zhou pours fresh soy milk into canal – tribute to water gods. Rebel Tunnels: Beneath Yǎnyù Lóu restaurant, Song-era escape routes flood at high water (ask keeper). 🎯 Pro Tips: Black Ops Protocol Stealth Fuel: Guōkuī (锅盔) – peppery beef-stuffed pancakes (¥8) at Uncle Deng’s Cart (South Gate). Night Recon: Lanterns dim at 11PM – alley cats reclaim streets; perfect for moody photos. Water Wisdom: Fill bottle at public fountains – same mineral source as ancient canals. Ethical Line: Don’t step on canal edges – mossy stones crack under weight. 🏮 Why Guanxian > Other "Ancient Towns" "While Lijiang and Fenghuang sell postcard charm, Guanxian bleeds authenticity. This is no museum – it’s a working-class oracle where hydraulic engineers, mahjong hustlers, and duck-brine alchemists keep Li Bing’s legacy wet with life." Final Briefing: Wear: Dark layers (hides duck grease stains), hip pack (thwart alley pickpockets). Avoid: Holidays – human tsunamis overflow canals. Mission Success: Eat duck neck on a Qing Dynasty doorstep as temple bells duel with M

It is also the oldest, only remaining, and grand water conservancy project in the world today, characterized by dam-free diversion.

🚗 Driving from Chongqing to Jiuzhaigou, we planned to rest for a night in Dujiangyan along the way. Before departure, I was attracted by the highly-rated Yiju Holiday Hotel while researching online, and this "blind choice" turned out to be absolutely brilliant! After driving most of the day to reach Dujiangyan, the navigation led us precisely to the hotel. What thrilled us self-drivers most 👉 it has an underground parking lot! We parked our car securely right away, eliminating the anxiety of finding parking in an unfamiliar city. Luggage could be easily carried upstairs – total peace of mind! During check-in, the receptionist greeted us with the sweetest smile and thoughtfully recommended local food and attractions. The room was another pleasant surprise – minimalist yet elegant decor, soft and clean bedding, and a separate wet/dry bathroom that instantly soothed our fatigue. Lying on the comfortable bed while browsing the Dujiangyan food guide recommended by the front desk, we were filled with exploration spirit! After a short rest, we visited the popular Guanxian Ancient Town. The night view of the ancient town was dazzling with colorful lights, and the aroma from street food stalls filled the air as we strolled and snacked, soaking in the lively atmosphere of the city – simply wonderful! We even discovered a hidden teahouse in the alley, sipping tea from lidded bowls while listening to Sichuan opera tunes, so cozy we didn't want to leave~ Waking up to birdsong the next morning, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the hotel before setting off energetically to Jiuzhaigou! This brief stop in Dujiangyan became exceptionally warm and comfortable thanks to Yiju Holiday Hotel~ If you're also planning a self-drive trip to Jiuzhaigou, I highly recommend making Dujiangyan your midway stop and staying at Yiju Holiday Hotel for a relaxing and thoughtful accommodation experience! Trust me, this will be an amazing surprise on your journey!

When visiting Chengdu in summer, a trip to Dujiangyan is a must. Gaze at the misty green mountains, listen to the roaring river, silence your phone, and spend a day as a carefree wanderer in the hills. For a day trip, it's recommended to choose either the Dujiangyan Scenic Area or Mount Qingcheng. "Special forces" travelers won't find much relaxation here though 😂 【Transportation】 Take the high-speed train from Xipu Station. For Dujiangyan Scenic Area, get off at **Lidui Park Station** (about 20 minutes). For Mount Qingcheng, alight at **Qingchengshan Station**. Driving takes about 1 hour. 【Itinerary Suggestions】 **First Stop: Yangtianwo Square** Right across the station is the giant selfie panda at Yangtianwo. It's fun to look at, but getting a photo like Dilraba's requires a telephoto lens or a drone—otherwise, it's tough to capture well~ **Second Stop: Guanxian Ancient Town** This place has strong commercial vibes, but it's worth a stroll. The old architecture still carries a lot of charm~ **Third Stop: Dujiangyan Scenic Area** The millennia-old irrigation project is truly awe-inspiring, and the rain adds an extra layer of tranquility and poetry 💦 The route we took: Qinyan Tower → Erwang Temple → Anlan Bridge → Yuzui Levee → Songmao Ancient Road → Yulei Pavilion. It's touted as the "energy-saving" route online, but personally, it didn't feel any easier 😂😂—just a mix of uphill and downhill the whole way 🤦🏻‍♀️ **Fourth Stop: Blue Bridge** The "Blue Tears" effect is purely a tourist trap—just blue lights. No idea who turned it into a photo spot, but the bridge was packed shoulder-to-shoulder. 【Food】 Dujiangyan has a rich variety of snacks 🍜. Grandma Ye’s soybean steamed buns, leaf-wrapped rice cakes (Ye’erba), and Taiping Zhang’s fermented glutinous rice are all excellent 😋. The Open-Mouth Dumplings were just okay, in my opinion~ 【Accommodation】 This time, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Tianhe, near **Tianhe Station** on Line 2, just one stop from Xipu Station. The service was surprisingly good—better than some Indigo hotels. The only odd rule was having to use scissors under staff supervision (??), but overall, the hotel staff were great~

Who says Chengdu's surroundings are only about hotpot and pandas? Dujiangyan, this ancient city with millennia of history, is the hidden gem! Water conservancy project + Taoist culture + Sichuan cuisine—this cultural deep-dive tour is a sure win✨ 🏯 Top 5 Must-Visit Attractions: 1️⃣ Dujiangyan Scenic Area (Ticket: ¥80) Stand on the Fish Mouth Levee and watch the rushing river—the engineering wisdom of Li Bing and his son from the Qin Dynasty is truly remarkable! Arrive before 8 AM to avoid tour groups and catch the misty, ethereal morning scene~ 2️⃣ Qingcheng Front Mountain (Ticket: ¥80) "Qingcheng's serenity is unmatched under heaven"—the Taoist temples here are bustling with worshippers! Wear anti-slip shoes for the hike, and don’t miss the reflection of Laojun Pavilion in Yuecheng Lake halfway up—a photographer’s dream spot📸 3️⃣ Guanxian Ancient Town (Free) A charming cluster of Ming and Qing architecture! Try the freshly made brown sugar pancakes on Wenmiao Street—¥5 each, sweet but not cloying, way more authentic than Kuanzhai Alley! 4️⃣ Panda Park (Ticket: ¥58) Tired of crowds at Chengdu’s Panda Base? Here, you can get up close to see pandas bathing and eating! Baby pandas climbing trees will melt your heart🐼 (Best time: 2–4 PM when they’re most active). 5️⃣ Nanqiao Bridge Night View (Free) After 8 PM, the lights turn on, and the Min River glows emerald green! The grandma selling spicy skewers on the bridge is a legend—her mouth-numbing, savory flavors are addictive🌶️ 💡 Pro Tips: 🔸 Taxis between attractions cost under ¥25; stay near Guanxian Ancient Town for convenience. 🔸 Qingcheng Mountain has a Front Mountain (Taoist temples) and Back Mountain (hiking)—don’t mix them up! 🔸 Skip the ¥30 electronic guide at Dujiangyan and eavesdrop on tour guides instead. 🔸 Pack a raincoat during monsoon season—mountain rain comes without warning. 🍜 Foodie Heaven: ▪️ Zhao Mainoodles (Yangliuhe Street): Must-try open-mouth dumplings + sweetwater noodles. ▪️ Lao Hao Luo Ji Snacks (Tianyi Street): Silky tofu pudding even smoother than Chengdu’s. ▪️ Zhong Duck (Jianshe Road): Smoked duck legs with plum sauce—divine! ▪️ Taiping Zhang Laozao (Old Street): Hand-pounded glutinous rice cakes with soybean flour—unbeatable! 🚌 Getting There: Take Chengdu Metro Line 2 to Xipu Station → Transfer to the intercity train (30 mins, ¥10) straight to Dujiangyan Station. Way better than getting stuck on the ring road!

Only the artifacts remain! If you walk down this street, there is another “Dujiangyan” character wall, but the wall is still there while the characters are gone. Everyone can Photoshop the characters back on after taking photos… 🔸 Wenmiao Mountain Street Lots of interesting shops with beautiful decorations, perfect for check-in photos at the entrance. ✔️ Zhongshu Pavilion It looks a bit like the magical world; I call it the Hogwarts branch of Dujiangyan!

Full of authentic Sichuan dishes, very appetizing! You can also play mahjong here for free. In summer, it gets dark late, so you can go to see the Blue Tears later. ✔️ Nanqiao Blue Tears In summer, the lights turn on from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM. You can come later to enjoy the blue mood.

The ancient city surrounding the Dujiangyan Scenic Area has a quaint streetscape. There are many restaurants and cheap clothing stores, so it's fun to stroll around. The South Bridge is particularly beautiful. If you visit the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, why not stop by? It is lit up at night, so it's also a good idea to stay overnight in Dujiangyan. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
