✨Babes, this trip to Pengzhou really made me fall deeply in love with this hidden gem of a town! Whether it’s the natural scenery or the local culture and food, everything left a super deep impression on me! Without further ado, please check out this guide👇 📍About Pengzhou: Pengzhou is located in the northwest of the Chengdu Plain, very close to downtown Chengdu, with super convenient transportation. It’s an excellent choice for a weekend short trip. This place has a rich historical and cultural heritage and charming natural scenery, featuring magnificent mountains, clear streams, as well as towns full of French-style charm and ancient towns with a classical atmosphere. 🗺️My itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Chengdu → Longxing Temple → Bailu Music Town (photo check-in, visit specialty shops) Day 2: Haiwozi Ancient Town (enjoy local food, experience intangible cultural heritage) → Tongji Flower Sea (stroll through the flower sea and take photos) → Return 🌟Super detailed attraction introduction: 1. Longxing Temple: This ancient temple has a history of over 1,600 years. The Longxing Pagoda inside is the stupa housing the true relics of Shakyamuni Buddha and is the tallest relic pagoda in China. Surrounded by red walls, the temple buildings are majestic. Stepping inside, the strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere hits you, instantly calming your mind to listen to the Sanskrit chants. It’s truly healing for the soul~ 2. Bailu Music Town: It feels like you’ve instantly traveled to a romantic French town! The town is filled with French-style architecture, with various specialty shops and cafes along the streets. Strolling here while listening to melodious music is so pleasant! Every photo you take is super photogenic. Wearing a pretty dress for photos will definitely blow up your social media📸 3. Haiwozi Ancient Town: One of the important birthplaces of the ancient Shu civilization, with a strong local life vibe. The East Gate Ancient Street preserves many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, full of ancient charm. You can also visit Yongning Temple to experience Buddhist culture, enjoy beautiful scenery at Qingquan Scenic Area, and overlook the whole town from the viewing platform at Qushang Square. There are many intangible cultural heritage projects here, such as pottery making at the Osmanthus Dragon Kiln. I strongly recommend everyone to try it! 4. Tongji Flower Sea: It’s simply a flower paradise! There are over three million flowers of various kinds, blooming in different seasons. No matter when you come, you can see a colorful sea of flowers, as if you’re in a fairy tale world. The photo opportunities are stunning, so photography lovers must not miss it~ 🍱Food recommendations: 1. Fan Duck Meat (Haiwozi Main Store): 38 RMB per jin, braised and fried on site. The duck skin is crispy, and the meat is not dry at all. It tastes best right out of the pot, perfect as a snack or with rice. I devoured half a duck myself! 2. Juntun Guokui: The outer crust is crispy, and the filling is rich, with options like meat or brown sugar. One bite is super satisfying, a carb lover’s dream! 3. Zhang Ji Yange Bingfen: Small glutinous rice ball ice jelly only costs 9 RMB, with very authentic flavors. The potato slices are mixed with hotpot seasoning, surprisingly delicious. Definitely give it a try! 4. Ni Ji Xie Xiaojiao Hotpot: A long-established local favorite in Pengzhou! Goose intestines are thick and crispy, the secret hotpot base is spicy, numbing, and fragrant, perfect when dipped for 10 seconds; freshly sliced hanging dragon meat is tender and tastes amazing; braised pig trotters are soft and fall-off-the-bone, perfect for hotpot! 🏠Accommodation recommendations: 1. Chanyi·Longxing Courtyard Hotel (Longxing Temple Branch): Located near Longxing Temple, enjoy a private courtyard view and soak in your own private hot spring pool. Taking a bath in the pool at night will wash away all your fatigue~ 2. Pengzhou Eryin Wild Luxury Private Hot Spring Homestay: Enjoy tea by the stove and a private hot spring courtyard under the snow-capped mountains, with a super atmospheric vibe. The rooms are warmly decorated, and the service is very thoughtful. 3. Fangtang·Linsu: A hot spring courtyard nestled in bamboo forests and mountains, with a super quiet environment. Waking up to birdsong in the morning feels amazing! 📌Tips: 1. It’s recommended to book accommodations in advance on major travel platforms, especially during holidays and weekends when availability is tight. 2. Avoid visiting popular attractions during weekend peak hours, such as Bailu Music Town and Danjingshan, as they get very crowded and may affect your experience. Try to visit on weekdays or plan your trip to avoid peak times. 3. Many attractions in Pengzhou require walking, so don’t wear high heels. Wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes to avoid fatigue and potential danger. 4. Check the weather forecast before traveling. Pengzhou’s weather is changeable, so remember to bring rain gear and appropriate clothing, and take sun and rain protection measures. 5. Souvenir prices inside scenic spots tend to be high and quality varies. If you want to buy souvenirs, go to specialty stores in the city for better prices and more choices.
