Jiezi Ancient Town - the authentic essence of life in Sichuan

Setting foot on the land of Jiezi Ancient Town is like stepping through an open, ticketless time tunnel. Here, commercialization is no longer the mainstream; instead, a sense of freedom to do as one pleases prevails. Wandering on the ancient, mirror-smooth stone paths, every corner may bring a different surprise, allowing the soul to relax in this tranquility and comfort. Hidden deep within the alleys of the ancient town, the local delicacies such as crispy radish dry, golden and crunchy corn cakes, and soft and sticky rice cakes, each bite is a tribute to the traditional Sichuan flavor. Sitting in front of the bustling snack stalls, watching the skilled preparation of delicious food by the owners, the fragrant aroma and rising steam create a vivid and lively street scene. And when the afternoon sun slants into the teahouses of the ancient town, you'll find that this place is not just a paradise for tourists, but also a microcosm of the leisurely life of the locals. In the old teahouses, people sip their covered-bowl tea while playing chess, unfolding scenes of peace and ease, making one long for such a slow-paced life. Jiezi Ancient Town awaits every traveler's arrival, to find that simplicity and purity lost in the urban hustle and bustle, to experience the real Sichuan.
