Today, the editor will recommend you a three-day tour guide to Shangli Ancient Town and Liujiang Ancient Town!

The first day

Chengdu-Chengya Expressway-Chengle Expressway-Hongya

Starting from the first day, you can pass the Chengya Expressway here, Then come to Aveo Expressway. On the way, you will pass through Hongya County, Ya'an City, and then arrive at Liujiang Ancient Town!

This trip will take more than three hours if you drive by yourself. Everyone plans their own trip!

1. Liujiang Ancient Town

It takes more than three hours to drive to Liujiang Ancient Town. You can rest here. After all, you can have a meal here and start traveling later!

After resting, we walked into the Liujiang Ancient Town here. This ancient town has a long history and beautiful scenery. Its history can be counted from the Southern Song Dynasty! There are Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings everywhere, which are antique and beautiful. You can enjoy some quiet time here!

2. Barrage

The winding and endless barrage is a building that divides Liujiang Ancient Town into two, but it is also a very popular tourist attraction. It is often crowded with tourists and very lively. Generally, people come here just to take pictures.

In addition, the air in the barrage is cooler. In summer, many tourists like this place because it is cool and comfortable, so everyone should get a good seat here!

3. The ancient town in twilight

As night falls, the ancient town has a different scenery. Every house is quiet and reserved, and dim lights begin to illuminate the town. The distant mountains are looming, and the occasional misty rain makes this place a little more sentimental!

After dinner, I walked on the bluestone here, looking at the ancient buildings, the clear river, the dim lights of the streets, the quiet time, the worry-free years!

4. An ancient town where barbecue people gather.

How can you not eat the delicious food here when you come here? The BBQ here is very popular. At night, everyone must try it. There are many barbecue restaurants on the roadside here, and they are also very lively!

Come to Liujiang Ancient Town and enjoy the nightlife!

The next day

Liujiang Ancient Town – Zengjiayuan – Shangli Ancient Town

The next day, let’s take a good tour of this Liujiang Ancient Town! There are many attractions here! The editor mainly recommends a few places to everyone!

Zeng Family Courtyard

If we want to talk about the famous buildings here in Liujiang Ancient Town, then we must talk about the Zeng Family Courtyard here, which retains the style of traditional courtyard architecture. Viewed from above, it means that a traditional long-lived figure appears in front of everyone. The architecture is unique!

When you walk into the Zeng family courtyard, the entire courtyard is in the style of the Republic of China. Walking in is like traveling through time and space! The yard is not very big, but it is not small either, enough for everyone to stroll around for a while! If you like this architectural style, you can come and enjoy it slowly!

Tips

Here in Liugu Town, the Zeng Family Courtyard is the only paid attraction. The admission fee is 10 yuan per person, which is still very cheap!

The Reclining Buddha

The Reclining Buddha is a few hundred meters away from Liujiang Ancient Town. It is located in Guanyin Temple in Liujiang River. You can take a walk here after eating. Here you need to climb mountains so that you can digest food and exercise.

This temple is built on a mountain. After climbing up the mountain, you can see the entire magnificent temple building, and then you can visit the Thousand Sleeping Buddha here. The incense is very strong!
