It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and a famous historical and cultural town in China. Here is a detailed introduction: History and Culture - Origin of the name: One theory suggests that it is named after the jade belt of Liu Shan, the last emperor of the Shu Han Kingdom, which fell into the Bajiao Well near the town. Another theory posits that the town is surrounded by the "Luoshui" River, shaped like a jade belt, hence the name "Luodai." A third theory proposes that the old street of the town, winding for one kilometer, resembles a jade belt floating down from the sky, hence the name "Luodai," later changed to "Luodai." - Cultural heritage: Built during the Three Kingdoms period (Shu Han), the ancient town has a rich history. It is one of the most well-preserved Hakka ancient towns in the suburbs of Chengdu. Over 90% of the town's residents are Hakka people, who still speak the Hakka dialect and follow Hakka customs. It is known as the "No. 1 Hakka Town in Western China." Architectural Style - Overall layout: The ancient town mainly features Ming and Qing Dynasty architectural styles, with well-preserved ancient streets and Hakka dwellings.

The ancient town is very large and divided into several areas where you can stroll around slowly. It feels like a completely different world in the morning and at night! In the morning, the ancient town has a very peaceful feeling, as if time has stood still. At night, the lights are brightly lit, the crowds are packed, and it is lively and joyful! The customer service center is still under renovation, so I can only take a photo of the reflection in the water as a souvenir. You must also visit the nearby Hakka earth buildings! No tickets required 🎫 There are many kinds of special snacks. I tried the sad jelly here and it tasted pretty good. There are also many small shops inside where you can buy many cheap things or souvenirs, but it is a bit far from the city. Places worth visiting #Chengdutourism

#MayTravelSupport Luode Ancient Town Luode Ancient Town in Chengdu is one of the popular ancient towns that is crowded with people on weekends. There are shops and street stalls lined up, so it is fun to look around for food, souvenirs, and traditional crafts. As you walk along the alleys, you will see not only well-maintained traditional buildings (such as Guangdong Hall and Huguang Hall), but also Tulou (traditional circular buildings made of mud walls) that are rare in this area, which catches your eye. This architecture is a point that differentiates it from other ancient towns. Although it is not large in size, the photo zones, small ponds, and antique bridges decorated here and there are in harmony, making it a good place to take a walk. However, the alleys are narrow and there are many people, so it is difficult to expect a quiet atmosphere. It is a good location for a day trip from downtown Chengdu, and it is a good place for those who want to feel the local atmosphere and vitality at the same time.

Take a day trip around Chengdu to visit the Luodai Ancient Town and the Guangdong Guildhall (Nanhua Palace). The Guangdong Guildhall was built in 1746 (the eleventh year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty) and was funded by immigrants from Guangdong province. Dedicated to Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch and founder of the Southern Chan Buddhism, it is also known as "Nanhua Palace." In 2006, it was listed as a sixth batch of national key cultural relic protection units. The guildhall faces south and its main structure consists of a stage, a music hall, side halls, and front, middle, and rear halls. It features a symmetrical layout along the central axis, a complex courtyard structure, and covers an area of 2,510 square meters. The Guangdong Guildhall is one of the best-preserved and largest guildhalls in China. Its unique wind and fire walls incorporate both Lingnan and Bashu architectural styles. Due to its magnificent presence, it has become a landmark of ancient architecture in Luodai Ancient Town. The Hakka Historical and Cultural District in Longquanyi District, Chengdu, is centered around the "One Street, Seven Alleys" area, which serves as a venue for the inheritance and concentrated display of Hakka culture. The district integrates the unique Hakka culture with the thousand-year-old ancient post road culture, making it a typical representative of Chengdu's diverse cultural displays. The district is rich in historical and cultural elements, including the nationally protected Luodai Guildhall Complex. Based on the "One Street, Seven Alleys" transportation system, it extends outwards, connecting cultural relics, historical buildings, and other historical elements. Combined with the terrain, it forms winding and flexible street and alley spaces. The buildings in the district are mainly in the style of traditional Ming and Qing Dynasty residences, laid out along both sides of the streets and alleys, forming a unique texture of shops in the front and courtyards in the back.

If anyone has a chance to go to 📍Luotai Ancient City, I recommend you to go to Douyin makeup. But I recommend you to have the whole day because we went with a tour. 🥹 There was only 1.30, which was not enough time to put on makeup and take pictures. It was good that we put on a lot of makeup, so they did a little touch up and took us to take pictures at various spots. But we could choose 20 pictures. The pictures were very beautiful. They gave us all of them because we did not have time to edit the pictures. Or choose the makeup price, which was about 700 baht. The guide extended it for us. There were many outfits to choose from. 😍❤️ #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel China #Chengdu

#VisitChengdu #100TravelTips 🧩 I don't see many Thais visiting this old town street because this old town is located about 40 minutes from downtown Chengdu, so it's not close at all. But don't say that there are a lot of Chinese tourists, especially family gatherings on weekends... Especially when we come during the Chinese National Day, October 1-7, it's like a Thai festival. 🌳 "Luodai Ancient Town" In addition to checking in, walking around, shopping in the old town, you can also visit the ancient architecture of this old town in the houses of the Hakka people who have lived since ancient times. And this street is beautiful because it has a mountain background and a lake to visit while walking around the old town that has been preserved to be complete. 🚇 Location/Travel: Subway Line 4, get off at the end of Xihe Station, Exit A, then take a taxi (15 minutes)
