Things to do in Huaying

The scenery is beautiful, with uniquely shaped peaks and rocks arranged in a charming, orderly fashion. It's cool in the summer, has campsites, and is associated with the legendary story of the Twin Bridges Old Woman. It's a great place for guerrilla warfare and definitely worth a visit. I would definitely go again if I had the chance. The cave in particular is truly amazing. Baoding Mountain is highly recommended.

There are 60 caves of various sizes in the scenic area, and 120 waterfalls of different shapes, such as the majestic Whisk Waterfall, the spectacular Welcoming Waterfall, the beautiful Moon-Watching Waterfall, etc. Every step brings a new scene, which will keep tourists dazzled.

Deng Xiaoping's hometown is worth a visit. It's a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national patriotic education base. Here, you can gain a deeper understanding of Deng Xiaoping's life and deeds, experience the great man's charisma, and be enlightened by his thoughts. Highlights include: - Deng Xiaoping's Former Residence: Also known as the "Deng Family Old Courtyard," this traditional three-sided courtyard house embodies the rich charm of eastern Sichuan.

My visit to Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu was a wonderful experience. Located beside the Huanhua Stream, the cottage is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a tranquil and serene environment far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thatched cottages, covered walkways, and ancient steles are scattered throughout, creating an elegant scene perfect for a leisurely stroll. Walking and reading the poems and prose in the exhibition halls, I felt as if I could see Du Fu's life here. What moved me most was that even in poverty, the poet still had the world in his heart. Here, you can not only see the scenery but also experience a rich poetic culture. The signage within the garden is clear, and there are abundant resources for explanation. The only drawback is the large number of tourists during holidays. Overall, this is a scenic spot that combines beautiful scenery with cultural heritage; visitors who love classical poetry should definitely come and experience the spirit of the poet saint.

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

Overall, the explanation was good and very detailed, covering many historical anecdotes. Without the explanation, it would have been a rushed experience, and my impression of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was far from reality 😅 I've really forgotten all my history. How can you come to Chengdu without visiting the Wuhou Shrine? And you definitely need to listen to a guided tour when you visit Wuhou Shrine. Because I was traveling with elderly people, I chose a private guided tour. What I didn't understand was that they never charged extra for the headsets, which was awkward and uncomfortable.

Was very busy but totally worthwhile. The view was impressive but the day was not clear.
