Lizhuang, the "First Ancient Town on the Yangtze River," hides the true Jiangnan charm and resilient spirit Among the white walls and black tiles on the south bank of the Yangtze River lies a treasured ancient town privately cherished by the people of Yibin—Lizhuang. Here, you can find the graceful elegance of "Three Rivers Jiangnan" and the cultural backbone that endured through the War of Resistance. Visiting during National Day is the only way to truly understand the essence of southern Sichuan. 🚗 Transportation and Tour Routes - Transportation: About a 30-minute drive from downtown Yibin; you can also take bus routes 39 or 45 to the Lizhuang Ancient Town Tourist Center stop, which is right at the entrance to the scenic area. - Tour Routes: 1. Morning: Enter the park from the Tourist Center → visit Zhang Family Ancestral Hall (former site of the China Society of Construction, birthplace of Liang Sicheng’s "A History of Chinese Architecture") → visit Dongyue Temple (former site of Tongji Engineering College), to touch the memories of cultural resistance during the war. 2. Afternoon: Stroll along Xizi Alley (bluestone pavement with wooden arcades, full of ancient charm) → walk along Yang Street to the Yangtze River to enjoy the river view → check in at Huiguang Temple to see the "Nine-Dragon Stone Stele." 3. Evening: Take a sampan boat ride on the river to enjoy the night view, or quietly wait for the sunset glow by the riverbank. 🎭 Holiday Exclusive Performance Guide During holidays, the ancient town hosts immersive performances daily. Thousands of drones light up the night sky with stunning patterns, peace doves are released, and the grass dragon dance ceremony conveys patriotic feelings. There are also scattered performances throughout the streets, including ancient street sword dances, folk music concerts, and cormorant fisherman interactions. To get the schedule: Follow the official "Lizhuang Ancient Town" mini-program and check the "Performance Program" section to see the daily lineup, so you don’t miss highlights like the "Great River Flows East" light and shadow show at Jiajing Tower. 🍽️ The Flavors of Lizhuang - Lizhuang White Pork: This ancient town’s signature dish is found in two must-visit restaurants. ① He San White Pork First Cut: A master with over 10 years of experience slices the pork thinly, served with a unique dipping sauce that is savory, fragrant, and leaves a sweet aftertaste that hits the taste buds; ② Qilai Liyan (Lizhuang Ancient Town Scenic Area Branch): Window seats face the small river, allowing diners to enjoy Jiangnan water views and in-house performances, with excellent environment, taste, and service. - Lizhuang White Cake: Look for Dan’s White Cake, located right next to He San White Pork. The soft rice cake carries a sweet rice fragrance and makes an excellent souvenir while exploring the ancient town. 📜 The Cultural Backbone Hidden in the Ancient Town Over 80 years ago, this "town you can’t find on the map" opened its arms due to a 16-character telegram, welcoming more than a dozen cultural and educational institutions including National Tongji University and the China Society of Construction. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin wrote "A History of Chinese Architecture" here by oil lamp light; masters like Fu Sinian and Li Ji persevered in scholarship in ancient residences. More than 12,000 scholars spent six years ensuring the continuation of Chinese cultural heritage amid the flames of war. Walking on the bluestone streets of the ancient town today, you can still feel the sincere spirit of "serving the country through knowledge." This National Day, come to Lizhuang for a date with Jiangnan scenery and cultural soul, and make the most of your holiday time~

This is my second time visiting Yibin Lizhuang Ancient Town this year. This time I spent a whole day exploring here. I didn’t expect it to have such a rich history and cultural heritage. What’s even more amazing is how it looks after the lights come on at night. For a reverse trip around Chengdu during the National Day holiday, this is a great destination. - 📍 Location: Yibin Lizhuang Ancient Town 🚄 High-speed rail: Chengdu — Yibin East 🎫 Ticket: Free After getting off, take a taxi for about ten kilometers to reach here. - ✔️ Scenic Spot Highlights 🍁 Deep historical and cultural heritage: You can visit the old site of Tongji University, the former residence of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, the China Lizhuang Cultural War of Resistance Exhibition Hall, and the Spiral Hall. After touring, you’ll find this ancient town truly has its own unique character, not just a typical commercialized ancient town. 🍁 The night view here is really stunning. After the lights come on, it feels completely different from the daytime. There are gondola boat night tours and various immersive and exciting nighttime performances. I heard there will be special programs during the National Day holiday. 🍁 Authentic local life vibe, with even a middle school inside. Cobblestone streets, old teahouses, traditional distilleries… The blend of local life and the scenic area makes you want to come back next time. - ✔️ Photo Spots ❶ Main photo spots are located at the South Plaza of Moon Field. ❷ The red wall with the large characters “Lizhuang” and the bookshelf are at Zhilan Book House. ❸ The infinity pool overlooking the ancient town’s night view is at Guilunfang. Using Zhuangmen as the central axis, on the left is the Moon Field scenic area, where the night view is beautiful and photogenic, especially during the blue hour at sunset. - ✔️ Notes 👉 It gets cooler in autumn, so check the weather and bring a jacket and umbrella. 👉 Don’t miss the night view and performances at Lizhuang Ancient Town. 👉 Of course, you have to try the local specialties: white cake, ranmian noodles, and boiled pork. The flavors at Pangliyuan and Laijinyuxuan are very nice. 👉 After finishing all the sightseeing, it will be past 9 PM, so it’s recommended to stay overnight inside. I stayed at Guilunfang and had a great experience. Their infinity pool offers a wonderful atmosphere and happiness, overlooking the ancient town at sunset. 👉 The scenic spots inside are great for photo shoots; Linglongyue Hanfu Museum is also nice. 👉 Lizhuang Ancient Town is quite large, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes.

It lies about 19 km from downtown Yibin, on the southern bank of the Yangtze River. It has a long history (over 1,400‑1,500 years). Lizhuang is famous for several cultural roles: 1. Preserved Ming & Qing dynasty architecture — ancient temples, ancestral halls, old streets, well‑preserved layout. 2.

#chinatravel Took a chill walk through Lizhuang in Sichuan Province and it was like stepping into a peaceful little time machine. The streets are lined with old wooden buildings, stone pathways, and red lanterns swaying in the breeze. Everything feels super laid back and honestly just nice to look at. There weren’t huge crowds which made it even better. I wandered past tea houses, small museums, and locals just playing cards or sipping tea like they had all the time in the world. Tried some local snacks from a street vendor, not totally sure what it was but it tasted awesome. Also stumbled into this temple area with cool carvings and incense smoke curling through the air. Felt super peaceful. The riverside view was a nice bonus too, great for a slow stroll. If you’re into old towns with calm vibes and photo worthy streets, Lizhuang is a perfect half day escape. No rush, no noise, just walk, snack, and chill.

[Yibin Travel Guide] The spiciness and tenderness of the First City of the Yangtze River, even your wallet can smile and go home! 🔥 Must-see attractions – Yibin's "three-piece set" 1. Shunan Bamboo Sea – "Natural oxygen bar, negative ions guaranteed" - Tickets: CNY 100 (discounts available for online booking) - How to play: Stroll through the bamboo forest as a swordsman, take the cable car and pretend you know Kung Fu, and remember to shout to the mountain, "My country is so green!" - Money-saving tip: Bring your own food, the bamboo in the scenic area cannot be cut and eaten on the spot (don't ask me how I know). 2. Lizhuang Ancient Town – "War of Resistance Culture + Sliced Pork Cutting Show" - Free to visit the ancient town, but it is recommended to spend CNY 10 to watch the master slice the pork – so thin that it can be used as a mobile phone screen protector! - Must do: Salute in front of the War of Resistance Museum, go to the old teahouse to eat melon seeds and listen to Sichuan opera, "face changing is faster than the boss turning his face." 3. Wuliangye Scenic Area – "You can get drunk just by smelling the air" - Free visit to the winery, the whole process is an attack of the aroma of wine, it is recommended to take a taxi (don't challenge your drunk driving willpower). - Easter egg: "Wuliangye Ice Cream" is sold at the entrance, don't grin at the traffic police after eating it. 🍜 Foodie Radar – The taste in Yibin people's DNA 1. Yibin Burning Noodles – "It's not the noodles that are burning, it's your mouth!" - Recommended: "Lu Erqian Burning Noodles" in the alley, CNY 8 a bowl, chili peppers can be selected as "slightly spicy", "Sichuan slightly spicy", "foreigners don't touch". 2. Lizhuang Sliced Pork – "So thin that you can see the boss's conscience" - Just find a shop in the ancient town and shout when ordering: "Master, give me a knife skill performance!" (with applause from the surrounding tourists) 3. Nanxi Dried Tofu – "Chewy and suitable as a hangover snack" - CNY 5 a pack in the supermarket, it is recommended to buy spicy flavor, when you are crying from the spiciness, you can say "the river wind is too dazzling". 💰 Accommodation Guide for Broke Travelers - Backpackers' first choice: Youth hostel near Yibin Railway Station, CNY 50/night, you can also listen to backpackers from all over the world bragging. - Literary youth Lizhuang Ancient Town Inn, around CNY 100, opening the window in the morning is "small bridge and flowing water, no people" (because the tourists have not yet gotten up). 🚗 Free fun around - Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station: Free to see the "Yangtze River Transformers", remember to bring sunglasses and reflectors to pretend to be the protagonist of a science fiction movie. - Bo People Hanging Coffins: Tickets are CNY 30, studying "how the ancients hung the coffins" is more brain-burning than escape rooms. 📌 Tips to avoid pitfalls 1. Yibin dialect "Bash"= delicious/comfortable, but the driver saying "arriving soon" may mean "half an hour more". 2. Prepare tissues before eating burning noodles, for wiping your mouth or tears. 3. The mosquitoes in the bamboo sea are all "cultivated", it is recommended to apply mosquito repellent by the pound. Finally, in Yibin, you can eat with the confidence of CNY 500 and play with the arrogance of CNY 1,000 for CNY 100 – after all, the most expensive thing here may be the old wine you want to pack when you leave! (But don't really pack it, the excess baggage fee is more expensive than the wine 😉) Let's go, the First City of the Yangtze River is waiting for you to get "drunk"!
