📍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

📍Attraction Address: Located beside Da'an Street in Da'an District, Zigong City, Sichuan Province. It's easy to find, but the entrance is a bit small. It was under renovation when we visited, so it might be expanded in the future. 🚗Transportation: Navigate directly there—there's a parking lot nearby, making it very convenient. You can also take a taxi. 👍Must-See Spots: This ancient salt well was drilled in the third year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty and took over a decade to complete. It's the world's first manually drilled well over 1,000 meters deep and is still in use today. Inside the attraction, you can see this high-yield well that extracts both natural gas and brine, composed of structures like the pounding room, cart room, brine extraction tube, and kitchen. You can also witness the entire salt-making process by locals, offering an immersive experience that feels like traveling back a thousand years. 💗Other Tips: Open Monday to Sunday, 8:30 AM–5:30 PM.
