Luocheng Ancient Town is located in the northeast of Qianwei County, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, about 60 kilometers away from Leshan City. The traffic is very convenient. Built in the late Ming dynasty, the name is also very interesting. There is a relic of Luocheng Temple in Qixing Village, southeast of luocheng town.

It is said that it was built in memory of Luo Cheng, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty. There is a local saying that "Luocheng Temple comes first, then Luocheng Pu". Luo people near Luocheng Temple also claimed to be descendants of Luocheng and fled here to settle down. However, after expert research, it is found that there is no direct evidence to prove it, and there is no genealogy record in the local area.

Since the establishment of the town, the business of Luocheng ancient town has been very prosperous. From a bull market, it has gradually developed into a goods trading center, involving all aspects of salt and iron, and is an important transit point in the surrounding areas. In ancient Guizhou, horses were often used for transportation.

Luocheng ancient town is one of the important passages. Dry dock and water dock were built, which promoted the development of land and water transportation here. It is worth mentioning that this place is not only prosperous in business, but also an important garrison place, so it is safe and secure, and businessmen are more willing to trade here.

Luocheng Ancient Town is also called "Noah's Ark of China". This is because the ancient town of Luocheng is built on an oval hill, and there is an old street called Chuanjie in the ancient town. It is the only place in China that is famous for its "boat shape" at home and abroad. There are a large number of ancient houses on both sides of the old street.

The eaves covered by these houses are very wide, and the gap left in the middle is the shape of the ship. Therefore, people also call houses the ship's side. The Lingguan Hall and sky lamp posts on the east and west sides are like poles for punting. The theater in the middle is a hut, and crossing the street is a rudder, which is very vivid.

The houses in the ancient town are also very distinctive. They don't need a nail, they are all supported by hexagonal logs, and with the development of ship eaves, the outer eaves are narrower and narrower, and the widest eaves are called "gazebo".

It can not only block the hot sun, but also block the wind and rain. Very practical. This is a very rare eaves gallery in China. It has a primitive taste. It is also a market. For many years, people mostly traded here, which truly preserved the daily life of ancient Sichuan.

There has always been a culture belonging to Leshan in the ancient town, that is, "Erqi Stone", which is a kind of playing card. In ancient times, coal, iron and other minerals were abundant here, and these miners used this way to relieve their work pressure. Although this kind of playing cards is only 1 to 10, it has a bad face, but there are many ways to play.

Full of local characteristics, it has also been included in the heritage culture of China, and it has been widely welcomed by people so far. Drinking herbal tea and playing cards under this 200-meter-long pavilion is also a pleasure in life.

Although the ancient town of Luocheng is very distinctive, few people in China know it, but it is very popular with foreigners. Many foreigners come here to travel, and some foreign TV dramas and movies often come here to take pictures. Australia once built a similar ancient town out of rocks.

It's a pity that the flowers in the wall are fragrant outside the wall. Besides cultural characteristics, there are some local snacks here, such as wine, rice and beef in the shadow of the lamp, which are all delicious. If you come here to play, you can try.
