Chongzhou is a place that makes you want to come back again and again! If I were to recommend a fun, delicious, and great city to visit around Chengdu, it would definitely be Chongzhou. Not only does it have ancient towns that haven't been commercialized, the filming location of 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' a summer camping lake, but also a 'Little Xizhou' style check-in spot... 📍Chongzhou Special Forces One-Day Tour Route: Depart from Chengdu at 8 AM ➡️ Yuantong Ancient Town at 10:30 AM ➡️ Jiezi Ancient Town at 12 PM (lunch) ➡️ Yanhuachi at 1 PM ➡️ Baita Lake at 3 PM ➡️ Fantaxi at 5 PM ➡️ Return to Chengdu 🚗Transportation Suggestions: 🚗; About 2.5 hours to Yuantong Ancient Town (search directly on navigation) depart around 8 AM 【Yuantong Ancient Town】: (Pic 4-Pic 6-Pic 9-Pic 13) Known as the 'Flowing Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival,' it has ancestral halls, churches, courtyards, tea houses, and is the Chengdu version of 'A Place with a Breeze.' It is quaint and has a strong historical atmosphere. 【Jiezi Ancient Town】: (Pic 2-Pic 3-Pic 6-Pic 14) 'The world of fireworks under Mount Qingcheng' refers to Jiezi Ancient Town. It has Ziku Tower, an ancient stage, Ruilong Bridge, and no commercial atmosphere. The prices of things are also very affordable. Cooling off, watching Sichuan opera, playing cards, it's very leisurely～ 【Yanhuachi】: (Pic 5) Closes at 5 PM Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was a filming location for the 1987 version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' The scenery is pleasant and not inferior to the gardens of Jiangnan. Each season has its unique beauty～ 【Baita Lake】: (Pic 7-Pic 8) Barbecue, boating, fishing, paddleboarding, not only is the scenery beautiful, but it's also a great place for camping. The emerald green lake water can only be described as peaceful and beautiful～ 【Fantaxi】: (Pic 10-Pic 15) The café closes at 5:30 PM You can always trust the countryside of Chongzhou. The beautiful scenery is endless along the way. It's a popular check-in spot for taking photos, with vast fields of rice giving a 'Little Xizhou' vibe. 👗Outfit Suggestions: You can bring two sets: morning in the ancient town, new Chinese style; afternoon: you can wear white or bright colors for photos at Fantaxi. Food Recommendations: You can casually eat something in the ancient town at noon: Xiaodong Street (food street) Fat Intestine Blood Wang, Zhazha Noodles, Brain Flower Baked Tofu, Crispy Tofu Evening: Big Sister's Barbecue (expect to queue) ⚠️Little Tips: Recently, it has been raining frequently around Chengdu, remember to bring an umbrella and mosquito repellent spray. It's recommended to carry a backpack. This trip is quite tiring but also very enjoyable, haha (take a hot shower and have a good sleep when you get home)

The wind already carries the scent of summer, and taking advantage of the weather not yet being fully hot, I've come to the long-coveted Baita Lake. The mountains, wild lake, daisies, and swings here form a huge island. I really regret not coming here sooner. A gentle breeze passes, the shadows of the trees sway, and the ripples on the water make the lake appear blue-green. It's truly beautiful.
