Trip to Jianyang, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Jianyang, China 🇨🇳 It is located in Sichuan Province, is a hidden gem 💎 filled with breathtaking natural scenery, rich culture, and mouthwatering local food. We started our day at Sancha Lake, a stunning reservoir surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests 🌳 Taking a boat ride on the lake was an incredible experience, the calm waters reflecting the blue sky ⛅️ and green mountains ⛰️ made for the perfect peaceful escape. One of the best spots for photos is the lakeside boardwalk, where you can capture the beautiful contrast between nature and water 💦 We recommend coming early in the morning to enjoy the fresh air and quiet surroundings ✨ 📍Santa Lake, Jianyang, Sichuan, China We also explored the Jianyang Confucian Temple, a historical site dating back over 700 years. The traditional architecture, elegant courtyards, and intricate carvings make it a great place to learn about the city’s cultural heritage ✨ For the best photos, we recommend taking pictures under the red lanterns or near the stone architecture, they create a beautiful contrast with the temple’s wooden structures 🪵 📍Jianyang Confucian Temple, Wenmiao Street, Jianyang, Sichuan, China A trip to Jianyang wouldn’t be complete without tasting its famous Jianyang Mutton Soup 🍲 We visited a local restaurant where the broth was rich and flavorful, with tender mutton and fresh herbs 🌿 The best way to enjoy it is with a side of crispy flatbread. We highly recommend trying this local specialty, it’s one of the best meals we had on our trip 💯 📍Laozihao Jianyang Mutton Soup We then hiked up Longquan Mountains ⛰️ a scenic area with panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside. The fresh mountain air and lush greenery made the climb completely worth it. The best photo spot is at the peak, where you can capture the rolling hills stretching into the distance. If you love nature, this is a must-visit 🙌 📍Longquan Mountains, Jianyang, Sichuan, China We then explored Jianyang Night Market, where the streets are lined with food stalls selling grilled skewers, spicy snacks, and sweet treats 🛍️ We tried some grilled rabbit skewers, a local favorite, and they were absolutely delicious! One of the best things to do here is just walk around and take in the lively atmosphere 🥰 For those who love food and street photography, this is the perfect place to capture the vibrant nightlife 📸 📍Jianyang Night Market, Jianyang, Sichuan, China #discoverchina #vacation #travel
