"In Yibin, I fulfilled my dream of being a swordsman in the bamboo forest and drinking like Li Bai!"

[Yibin Travel Guide] The spiciness and tenderness of the First City of the Yangtze River, even your wallet can smile and go home! 🔥 Must-see attractions – Yibin's "three-piece set" 1. Shunan Bamboo Sea – "Natural oxygen bar, negative ions guaranteed" - Tickets: CNY 100 (discounts available for online booking) - How to play: Stroll through the bamboo forest as a swordsman, take the cable car and pretend you know Kung Fu, and remember to shout to the mountain, "My country is so green!" - Money-saving tip: Bring your own food, the bamboo in the scenic area cannot be cut and eaten on the spot (don't ask me how I know). 2. Lizhuang Ancient Town – "War of Resistance Culture + Sliced Pork Cutting Show" - Free to visit the ancient town, but it is recommended to spend CNY 10 to watch the master slice the pork – so thin that it can be used as a mobile phone screen protector! - Must do: Salute in front of the War of Resistance Museum, go to the old teahouse to eat melon seeds and listen to Sichuan opera, "face changing is faster than the boss turning his face." 3. Wuliangye Scenic Area – "You can get drunk just by smelling the air" - Free visit to the winery, the whole process is an attack of the aroma of wine, it is recommended to take a taxi (don't challenge your drunk driving willpower). - Easter egg: "Wuliangye Ice Cream" is sold at the entrance, don't grin at the traffic police after eating it. 🍜 Foodie Radar – The taste in Yibin people's DNA 1. Yibin Burning Noodles – "It's not the noodles that are burning, it's your mouth!" - Recommended: "Lu Erqian Burning Noodles" in the alley, CNY 8 a bowl, chili peppers can be selected as "slightly spicy", "Sichuan slightly spicy", "foreigners don't touch". 2. Lizhuang Sliced Pork – "So thin that you can see the boss's conscience" - Just find a shop in the ancient town and shout when ordering: "Master, give me a knife skill performance!" (with applause from the surrounding tourists) 3. Nanxi Dried Tofu – "Chewy and suitable as a hangover snack" - CNY 5 a pack in the supermarket, it is recommended to buy spicy flavor, when you are crying from the spiciness, you can say "the river wind is too dazzling". 💰 Accommodation Guide for Broke Travelers - Backpackers' first choice: Youth hostel near Yibin Railway Station, CNY 50/night, you can also listen to backpackers from all over the world bragging. - Literary youth Lizhuang Ancient Town Inn, around CNY 100, opening the window in the morning is "small bridge and flowing water, no people" (because the tourists have not yet gotten up). 🚗 Free fun around - Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station: Free to see the "Yangtze River Transformers", remember to bring sunglasses and reflectors to pretend to be the protagonist of a science fiction movie. - Bo People Hanging Coffins: Tickets are CNY 30, studying "how the ancients hung the coffins" is more brain-burning than escape rooms. 📌 Tips to avoid pitfalls 1. Yibin dialect "Bash"= delicious/comfortable, but the driver saying "arriving soon" may mean "half an hour more". 2. Prepare tissues before eating burning noodles, for wiping your mouth or tears. 3. The mosquitoes in the bamboo sea are all "cultivated", it is recommended to apply mosquito repellent by the pound. Finally, in Yibin, you can eat with the confidence of CNY 500 and play with the arrogance of CNY 1,000 for CNY 100 – after all, the most expensive thing here may be the old wine you want to pack when you leave! (But don't really pack it, the excess baggage fee is more expensive than the wine 😉) Let's go, the First City of the Yangtze River is waiting for you to get "drunk"!
