Escape the hustle and bustle of the city

📍Address: Departure: Chengdu Destination: Navigate to Jiaguan Ancient Town 🗓Itinerary: Chengdu - Jiaguan Ancient Town (stroll through the ancient town - enjoy local cuisine - experience tea picking - learn tea making) - return to Chengdu Stroll through the ancient town: The ancient town is not very big, and it can be explored in less than an hour. The main features of Jiaguan Ancient Town are: a river running through the middle, houses on both sides, three bridges standing side by side, and the Bai Mo River flowing through the town. There are three ancient bridges, Wanfu Bridge, Yongsou Bridge, and Qingyuan Bridge, connecting the two sides, which really gives a feeling of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the rainy season might be approaching, so the water is very muddy and smells a bit. 🍲Enjoy local cuisine: The recommended restaurants in Jiaguan Ancient Town are Zouji Restaurant, Linjiang Restaurant, and Jiaguan Restaurant. All three are quite famous locally and may have queues on weekends. The taste is quite good, with recommended dishes including 'Crossing the River Chicken', 'Pickled Pepper Eel', and 'Blood Curd'. 👍Most recommended: Tea picking and making: Jiaguan Ancient Town has tens of thousands of acres of tea gardens, and the town is most famous for its dark tea. You can experience tea picking and making here. For 40 yuan, you can get local bamboo baskets, conical hats, and tea-picking aprons and sleeve covers, etc. Dressed up for tea picking, you'll take great photos (see the last picture). After picking tea, you can experience making tea and then take the finished product home. 4. Enjoy afternoon tea: This is a must-mention. Having afternoon tea by the river in Jiaguan Ancient Town is incredibly cheap, 10 yuan per tea, and you can play mahjong for free!! Amazing!! In the summer, it's so pleasant to sit in the breeze, drink tea, and cool off in the ancient town.
