[2025 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Luodai Ancient Town (Updated Apr)

After a full year in Chengdu, I finally visited the Hakka Tulou in Luodai Ancient Town, the same one featured in *Big Fish & Begonia*. I didn't realize this was a thousand-year-old town! 🧐 Strolling along the quaint streets, I saw many young ladies adorned with beautiful hairpins. I sampled local snacks and enjoyed a cup of covered bowl tea by the lake. It was a truly delightful experience. - 📍Location: Luodai Ancient Town (Longquanyi, Chengdu) 🎫Tickets: Free🆓 🚇Transportation: Subway Line 4️⃣ - West River Station, Exit B, then a 15min taxi ride - 🗺️Tour Route: Luodai Ancient Town ➠ Five Phoenix Tower ➠ Hakka Tulou - 📸Travel Guide: ✔️Luodai Ancient Town: Sample local snacks, try the traditional hairpin styling, and experience the local customs. - ✔️Hakka Tulou: Here you can take photos of the Hakka earthen building, just like the one in *Big Fish & Begonia*. It has four floors.

The ancient town is very large and divided into several areas where you can stroll around slowly. It feels like a completely different world in the morning and at night! In the morning, the ancient town has a very peaceful feeling, as if time has stood still. At night, the lights are brightly lit, the crowds are packed, and it is lively and joyful! The customer service center is still under renovation, so I can only take a photo of the reflection in the water as a souvenir. You must also visit the nearby Hakka earth buildings! No tickets required 🎫 There are many kinds of special snacks. I tried the sad jelly here and it tasted pretty good. There are also many small shops inside where you can buy many cheap things or souvenirs, but it is a bit far from the city. Places worth visiting #Chengdutourism

Take a day trip around Chengdu to visit the Luodai Ancient Town and the Guangdong Guildhall (Nanhua Palace). The Guangdong Guildhall was built in 1746 (the eleventh year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty) and was funded by immigrants from Guangdong province. Dedicated to Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch and founder of the Southern Chan Buddhism, it is also known as "Nanhua Palace." In 2006, it was listed as a sixth batch of national key cultural relic protection units. The guildhall faces south and its main structure consists of a stage, a music hall, side halls, and front, middle, and rear halls. It features a symmetrical layout along the central axis, a complex courtyard structure, and covers an area of 2,510 square meters. The Guangdong Guildhall is one of the best-preserved and largest guildhalls in China. Its unique wind and fire walls incorporate both Lingnan and Bashu architectural styles. Due to its magnificent presence, it has become a landmark of ancient architecture in Luodai Ancient Town.

The district integrates the unique Hakka culture with the thousand-year-old ancient post road culture, making it a typical representative of Chengdu's diverse cultural displays. The district is rich in historical and cultural elements, including the nationally protected Luodai Guildhall Complex. Based on the "One Street, Seven Alleys" transportation system, it extends outwards, connecting cultural relics, historical buildings, and other historical elements. Combined with the terrain, it forms winding and flexible street and alley spaces. The buildings in the district are mainly in the style of traditional Ming and Qing Dynasty residences, laid out along both sides of the streets and alleys, forming a unique texture of shops in the front and courtyards in the back.

If anyone has a chance to go to 📍Luotai Ancient City, I recommend you to go to Douyin makeup. But I recommend you to have the whole day because we went with a tour. 🥹 There was only 1.30, which was not enough time to put on makeup and take pictures. It was good that we put on a lot of makeup, so they did a little touch up and took us to take pictures at various spots. But we could choose 20 pictures. The pictures were very beautiful. They gave us all of them because we did not have time to edit the pictures. Or choose the makeup price, which was about 700 baht. The guide extended it for us. There were many outfits to choose from. 😍❤️ #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel China #Chengdu

#VisitChengdu #100TravelTips 🧩 I don't see many Thais visiting this old town street because this old town is located about 40 minutes from downtown Chengdu, so it's not close at all. But don't say that there are a lot of Chinese tourists, especially family gatherings on weekends... Especially when we come during the Chinese National Day, October 1-7, it's like a Thai festival. 🌳 "Luodai Ancient Town" In addition to checking in, walking around, shopping in the old town, you can also visit the ancient architecture of this old town in the houses of the Hakka people who have lived since ancient times. And this street is beautiful because it has a mountain background and a lake to visit while walking around the old town that has been preserved to be complete. 🚇 Location/Travel: Subway Line 4, get off at the end of Xihe Station, Exit A, then take a taxi (15 minutes)

The Hakka people, who live far away in Fujian, have their own place in the Land of Abundance. Doesn't that sound amazing? The history of the Hakka people is an epic written with blood, tears, and taxes. The Hakka people in Sichuan mainly came from the Huguang Filling Sichuan Movement in the early Qing Dynasty. After the war, the population of Sichuan and Chongqing decreased sharply. In order to restore the reputation of the Land of Abundance, the Qing government took a series of measures to attract immigrants from other places. Among them, the population of Huguang Province was the largest, and the Hakka immigrants were the second largest immigrant group after the Huguang people. The Hakka people have multiplied and thrived here, and have also deeply engraved their cultural footprints on the land of Bashu. Luodai Ancient Town under your feet is the place where the Hakka people live. The town has a layout of one street and seven alleys, and the thousand-year-old street and Hakka dwellings are well preserved. The four guild halls of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Northern Sichuan and the Hakka Museum have preserved the past atmosphere and history of the Hakka people. Therefore, it is not surprising to see the Tulou, which is usually only found in Fujian, here. ℹ️Luodai Ancient Town: Luodai Town, Longquanyi District, Chengdu 💰Cost: Free ⏳Tour time: 2 hours
