Highlights: AAA-level attractions, free admission, good quality and low price, you can spend with confidence!

The river is wide, and it is very comfortable to sit in the boat to drink tea, chat, enjoy the scenery and take pictures. The average price per person is 60 yuan if you don’t share the boat, and 10 yuan if you share the boat, but the waiting time is very long. ❤️The artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water, whether you are drinking tea under the quaint buildings or walking in the quaint town, has a unique charm [Chukle] The streets are lined with traditional western Sichuan houses, with wooden doors and windows, and carved beams and columns, all of which show the quaint beauty of the ancient town. 🧡The delicious food in the ancient town is also a highlight.

The high-speed rail from Chengdu to Qionglai is almost always available, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to book a high-speed rail ticket. After getting off the high-speed rail, you can choose to stay at the Xiruida Lakeside Hotel, which offers free pick-up and drop-off at the high-speed rail station. The service and environment are both good. We went there mainly for their breakfast. 💙Other tips: There are many teahouses and chess and card rooms in the ancient town, but you can go back to the Xiruida Lakeside Hotel for entertainment. They have a complete sky garden on the 4th floor. If you don’t spend money in the ancient town, you can take photos and check in. The ancient town is very large, especially suitable for taking photos in cheongsam and Hanfu! !

Guyi old teahouse actually has tea that costs only 2 yuan. I have been hearing from friends that there is an old teahouse in Qionglai Guyi. A paradise for photography lovers If you want to exclude old photos that are full of stories You can’t go wrong choosing here! I drove there with my friends in April this year. I remember it was very cool that afternoon. The big tree in the courtyard has just sprouted new buds and is so cute! The old teahouse is located in Hebin Community, Guyi Town. You can get there directly by navigating to "Guyi Old Teahouse" This place is next to a residential area and belongs to Qionglai Township. I was stunned as soon as I entered the door! The seats were packed, and they were all middle-aged and elderly people from the surrounding area. There were only a few young people, mainly here to take pictures and check in. Looking at the price list, the price is really good. You can bring your own tea for only 2 yuan, and other scented teas at Maofeng are also very cost-effective. Maybe it’s because most of the customers are the elderly, so the boss pattern is evident. There is a big river in front of the teahouse. If you like fishing, you can bring a fishing rod and enjoy yourself while drinking tea. Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather during the National Day, this is a good time to drink tea. Bring your family and friends to check in together.

Every time the weekend comes, my heart, longing to escape the city's hustle and bustle, starts to stir.

In the ancient town, many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, the smooth bluestone roads bear the traces of time, and the mottled stone bridges seem to tell ancient stories. Walking through it, a feeling of tranquility quietly rises in the heart. This time in Pingle Ancient Town, we were very fortunate to encounter a lively dragon dance event. Many Hanfu performers paraded on the bridge, their clothes fluttering as if they had traveled from ancient times. There was also a passionate electronic music festival, where dynamic music collided with the ancient town's simplicity, creating a unique spark. The ancient town at night has a different charm, with soft lights casting on the old buildings, making it beautifully intoxicating. At this moment, the ancient town seems to transport people back in time, immersing them in a dreamlike atmosphere. 🍜 The food in Pingle Ancient Town is also not to be missed. The rich broth noodles, the fragrant Bobo chicken, and the tender river water tofu, every bite is unforgettable. In the streets and alleys of the ancient town, you can also taste various local snacks and specialties, satisfying your taste buds while feeling the unique charm of this ancient town. After leaving Pingle Ancient Town, we went to Qionglai City. This city seems like a paradise for food lovers. The aroma of various foods fills the streets and alleys, making one's mouth water. We wandered through the city's streets and alleys, searching for those hidden delicacies. From traditional Sichuan restaurants to street food stalls, surprises awaited us at every corner. This journey in Qionglai allowed us to experience different styles and charms. Here, there is both the simplicity and tranquility of Pingle Ancient Town and the hustle and bustle of the city. The food, scenery, and rich atmosphere here are deeply imprinted in our hearts. If you also long to escape the city's hustle and bustle and seek a moment of peace and beauty, then Qionglai is definitely a place not to be missed.
