Langzhong Fairyland | The Origin of Chinese New Year is Actually in Sichuan

| The origin of Chinese New Year is actually in Sichuan. 🎈Langzhong Ancient Town, one of China's four great ancient towns with over 2,300 years of history, features not only quaint architecture but also tons of delicious food and fun activities. Come check it out with me! 🚗Transportation Guide Plane✈️: Fly to Nanchong Gaoping Airport first, then take an airport shuttle or taxi to Langzhong Ancient Town (about 1.5-2 hours). High-speed rail/train🚄: Arrive at Langzhong Station, then take a taxi or bus directly to the ancient town—super convenient! Self-drive🚗: Follow navigation; there are multiple parking lots around the ancient town. Park and start your joyful journey! 🏨Accommodation Recommendations Ancient town homestays🏡: Recommend Langzhong Huifeng Bieyuan, a garden-style design offering elegance and tranquility—staying here feels like traveling back in time. Open your window in the morning to see the town's streets and feel its vibrant atmosphere. Riverside hotels🌉: Langzhong Jinyuan Zhangfei International Hotel, located by the river and right next to the ancient town, offers stunning night views of the Jialing River from your room—lights glittering, absolutely beautiful. 🌟Must-Visit Attractions Zhuangyuan Archway🥇: The iconic landmark of the town, built to commemorate four imperial examination top scorers from ancient Langzhou. Taking photos here📸 is super meaningful—instant social media fame! Zhongtian Tower🏯: Known as "Langzhong's #1 Feng Shui Tower." Climb up to see the town's streets laid out in a grid pattern, with blue-tiled roofs and white walls forming a picturesque scroll🖼️. Han Marquis Temple🗿: A must for Three Kingdoms fans! This temple commemorates Zhang Fei, with 1,800 years of history. The grand architecture lets you learn about Zhang Fei's defense of Langzhong and experience Three Kingdoms culture. Imperial Examination Hall📜: An ancient exam site where you can experience imperial examination culture, dress in traditional attire, and "take the exam" like a scholar👨‍🎓. Langzhong Tengwang Pavilion🏰: Shares its name with Nanchang's Tengwang Pavilion but features unique Tang-style architecture. From here, you can overlook Langzhong's stunning scenery and take artistic photos! 🍜Food Recommendations Zhangfei Beef🐂: A Langzhong specialty—firm, moist, savory, and delicious. The packaging features Zhang Fei's portrait, making it a distinctive souvenir to bring home. Baoning Vinegar🍶: One of China's four famous vinegars! In the town, try dishes made with Baoning vinegar, like vinegar fish or vinegar-fried cabbage—sweet, sour, and super appetizing😋. White Sugar Steamed Buns🥯: Sweet, soft, and lightly scented with osmanthus—a traditional Langzhong pastry. Perfect for breakfast to start your day energized! Hot & Cold Noodles🍜: Sounds intriguing, right? Chewy noodles with unique seasoning—spicy, savory, and aromatic. 📸Photo Tips Wear traditional outfits👘: Many shops in town rent Hanfu or qipaos. Stroll the cobblestone streets for instant ancient-style photos! Play with light☀️: Capture the town's buildings bathed in morning or evening light—shadows and highlights create a perfect atmosphere. Night shots🌃: When lanterns🏮 light up the town, photograph the glittering nightscape by the Jialing River—romantic and breathtaking!
