Qinglinkou Ancient Town Travel Guide, Sichuan: The No. 1 Town in Northern Sichuan

There are thousands of ancient towns in Sichuan, but Qinglinkou Ancient Town is one of a kind. Qinglinkou Ancient Town was built in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. It is a secluded ancient town that even Sichuan locals may not know about. There are no tour groups or commercialization here, just a pure, original ancient town. The town has courtyards, pavilions, and stilted buildings, and retains the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China. The most special thing is that when the Red Army passed through here during the Long March, they left many slogans with a strong sense of the times. It really made me feel like I had suddenly traveled back to Sichuan in the 1930s. 🍲 Three Delicacies of Qinglinkou: Preserved eggs, bean paste, and tofu feast 📸 Must-see attractions: 📍 Red Army Bridge: A stone arch bridge from the Qing dynasty with various red slogans on it 📍 Fire God Temple: A building from the Guangxu period 📍 Various guild halls: Jiangxi, Huguang, Minyue, and Shaanxi guild halls 👣 Walking route: Changkou Archway ➡️ Fu Family Courtyard ➡️ Wanshou Palace ➡️ Minyue Guild Hall ➡️ Turn left at the Red Army Corridor Bridge ➡️ Old Street ➡️ Shiliangzi Plank Road ➡️ Half Street ➡️ Turn right at the Red Army Bridge ➡️ Wenchang Palace ➡️ Fire God Temple 🚗 Transportation: Driving is the most convenient.
