Enyang Ancient Town | A Hidden Thousand-Year-Old Gem on Sichuan’s Micang Ancient Road

#chinatravel Nestled in Bazhong, Sichuan, Enyang Ancient Town dates back over 1,490 years to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Once a crucial stop on the historic Micang Road, its famous saying “early or late, all rest by the Enyang River” reflects its importance to ancient travelers. The town features one of Sichuan’s largest and best-preserved clusters of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture—589 historic buildings across 17 old alleys within a 0.5 km² core zone. Expect traditional courtyard homes, wooden storefronts, and intricate window carvings, all echoing the cultural legacy of the northern Sichuan Ba people. Rich in history and culture, it blends Ba heritage, ancient trade route charm, and Red Army influences—you’ll even spot original revolutionary slogans carved in stone. Catch a local Sichuan opera or shadow puppet show if you’re lucky, then wind down at a riverside teahouse with a hot drink, soaking in the peaceful views and glowing night lights. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
