Beautiful Ancient City, lot's to see and do, a small taste of old Chinese tradition & culture.

This is one of the 10 popular old towns in Cheng Du. It is about 2hrs from the CBD by car which is just perfect for a day trip. It was built more than one thousand years ago along a river, but suffered a sever damage in the Wen Chuan earthquake in 2008. Now most the town was either rebuilt or refurbished. It was done in a way to imitate the traditional design. However, it isn’t well managed to maintain its appearance & unique character, and has become like any other commercialised old town. Leave your stomach empty when you go visit. There are various local snacks to fill you up. Some tea houses are located on the river and near the bridge. The antique store near the bridge has some very cool pieces. The town is crowded over the weekend. Althought it seem to be quite commercialised .Nonetheless, it is still a nice place to spend a day & walk around the laneways & buy some local souvenirs & eat some local snacks #sichuanattractions
