Xingfu Temple, Qionglai.

Xingfu Temple, Qionglai Xingfu Temple is located in Ginkgo Ping, Lianhua Mountain, Xingfu Village, Huojing Town, Qionglai City, Sichuan Province, less than 10 km and a half-hour drive from Huojing Ancient Town. The temple was first built in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties (618) and was rebuilt in the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty (1515). It was historically known as "Penglai Bieyuan" and "Shimiaozi" before being renamed Xingfu Temple. Xingfu Temple has a unique layout and courtyard, retaining the style of the Ming dynasty. The temple is divided into A and B axes. The A axis consists of the mountain gate, Sansheng Hall, and Guanyin Hall, while the B axis consists of the mountain gate, Dizang Hall, Mahavira Hall, and Qifo Hall. The temple's architecture is diverse, including stone-imitating wood structures, single-eave hanging mountain-style buildings, and double-eave Xieshan-style buildings. The total building area of Xingfu Temple is 2,655 square meters, with a land area of 15,280 square meters. Among the existing buildings, the Mahavira Hall and Dizang Hall retain some Ming dynasty styles, while the rest are Qing dynasty buildings. (Excerpt from the temple introduction) The temple is located deep in the nanmu forest, with winding and muddy mountain roads that are difficult to pass, making it particularly quiet on Saturdays without pilgrims! Special reminder🔔: The mountain roads from Huojing to the temple are very narrow and rugged, with poor road conditions, making it difficult to pass and a section under construction. Cars need to be driven carefully!

Guiyuan Tianju | Qionglai A-level Homestay - Shouzhuo.

| Qionglai A-level Homestay - Shouzhuo. I had been planning to get married for a long time and finally found this homestay on the bamboo mountain in Qionglai, which is said to be one of the few national A-level homestays in Sichuan. The daily price for a double room is close to 1,000, almost two to three times the price of the surrounding homestays. Surprisingly, there are almost no negative reviews, which made me curious to try it. Staying here did not disappoint. The entire homestay area is in the style of a Japanese courtyard, and the staff is very warm and friendly, simple and thoughtful. The theme of the homestay is ancient natural, and the rooms are also antique, without a TV, forcing you to return to rural life. To pass the time, the homestay will arrange interesting activities. In the afternoon, after we checked in and rested, they took us to catch fish and shrimp, experiencing the fun of childhood. In the evening, they also led everyone to see fireflies. The mountain has a high negative oxygen ion content, and the air is fresh and a bit humid, which is very suitable for fireflies to grow. At night, you can see a whole mountain of fireflies, which is very shocking! Because it is on the mountain, friends who are too lazy to go down the mountain to eat (15 minutes down the mountain is not far) can also try their private dishes, with options of 150/200/300 per person. We tried the 150, and the taste was good and worth the price. The ingredients were fresh, and many were even their own vegetables. The breakfast the next day was included in the room rate, and it was the most abundant breakfast I have ever had in all the hotels I have stayed in. It was served until after 10 o'clock, and I was not hungry until noon. Before leaving, they also gave us their own eggs and tea leaves to make tea eggs at home. It was a very happy trip, and I deeply experienced the pure rural life and felt the concept of the homestay "Shouzhuo." I recommended it to my family and friends when I got home! I want to go again and recommend it to friends traveling with couples and family.

Its the weir in pingLe thats outstanding.

Pingle ancient town is reputed to be 2000 years old. Some of the Ming & Qing era houses still stand .Old cobble roads are so nice to tread on . In 1860, Emperor Tongshi gifted a Leshan bridge, the decorative art fast eroding with time while the bridge still stands . But ... the weir is the most intriguing . How many centuries has it serve the town to control flood & divert water to livable areas.There used to have a signboard saying water was diverted to agricultural areas .Would be fantastic to have local tourguides enlighten all tourists on the purpose & manner of engineering by this weir .

There is a Nanmu Tree Ecological Park in the town, which has more than a dozen Nanmu trees over 500 years old, which can barely be embraced by two adults. In addition to playing in Datong Ancient Town, the nearby caves, Shisun Mountain cliff carvings can not be missed. According to the "Lingshan Buddha Stele", there were temples in Shisun Mountain in the second year of Yonglong of Tang Gaozong (682 AD). The grottoes were excavated earlier, and the time of excavation of the cliff statues of Shisun Mountain in Datong should be around the time of Tang Gaozong. On the way to Shisun Mountain, I came across the sign of "Imperial Cypress" and "Imperial Tomb". You may not be able to imagine that this hidden rice field is closely related to Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ancient cypress tree of 1000 years, after years of baptism, silently guards the bamboo forest, which is said to be the imperial tomb of Li Yu. There is also a huge basalt stone, named "Liangong Stone", on which Li Yu left the "Yu Meiren" that has been sung for thousands of years - "Ask the gentleman how much sorrow he can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." Datong is worth immersing in, slowly feeling its historical charm.

Qionglai Stone Village.

The Stone Village is located next to the Hejiang River in Shuguang Village, Shuikou Town, with a total of 25 households, 2 kilometers away from Shuikou Town. This place used to be a main road for the ancient tea-horse road to enter Kangba. The two households with the highest stone walls used to be the accommodation for the porters. The old society was plagued by bandits. Compared with earth walls and wooden fences, stone walls have stronger defensive capabilities. Moreover, it is easy to obtain stones from the river here, so every household has built stone walls. The Stone Village is also called Caiheba, because there were more people with the surname Cai in the past. In 2016, the Stone Village was listed as the first batch of traditional villages in Chengdu. There are still many villagers living in the Stone Village now. The old houses have been maintained to a certain extent. The road is clean and tidy, and it is a characteristic western Sichuan village.

You can visit the entire town in about 1 hour. 🌈 Pingluo Ancient Town Navigation [Hanyi Road] There are free parking spaces on both sides of the road, including the free parking spaces on both sides of the street ahead. 👉🤩 About Food: When you visit Pingluo Ancient Town, you must have a bowl of milk soup noodles in the morning! Last time I went to Baihe Temple, I also had milk soup noodles for lunch. After all, milk soup noodles are a specialty of Qionglai. I also had a basket of soup dumplings, with pickles and pickled radishes. This breakfast is really YYDS. 👉🌈 Recommended: Milk soup noodles, cold chicken, steamed dumplings, soup dumplings, pickles 🌈🤩 Tips 1️⃣. There is strong ultraviolet radiation in places without shade. Be sure to do sun protection in advance to avoid sunburn. 2️⃣. There are inevitably stones at the bottom of the flowing river water. It is best to wear sandals to avoid scratches. 3️⃣. There are tea shops by the river where you can shower your children, but it seems that you need to spend money.
