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 .

"Charming Qionglai, Enjoy a Trip of Nature and Culture"

Qionglai, a charming ancient city, is like a bright pearl inlaid in Sichuan. Here, you can start an unforgettable journey. Walking into Pingle Ancient Town, the antique streets come into view. The bluestone road is winding and twisting, and the traditional western Sichuan houses on both sides, the wooden doors and windows, and the carved beams and columns all exude a simple atmosphere. The Baimo River runs through the town, and the river is clear and flowing. You can sit in the teahouse by the river, taste a cup of tea, watch the bamboo rafts and waterwheels on the river, and feel the tranquility and leisure. Or stroll in the alleys of the ancient town, explore the ancient temples and stages, and appreciate the long history and culture. Tiantai Mountain is also a highlight of Qionglai. The mountains here are green and the waterfalls are flying, and the scenery is beautiful. Walking along the path in the mountains, breathing fresh air, listening to the singing of birds, it seems to be in a fairyland. In Tiantai Mountain, you can watch the spectacular Changhong Waterfall, the beautiful Eighteen Mile Herb Ditch and other natural landscapes.

Hidden from the world, Datong Town, Qionglai.

On my second visit to Datong Ancient Town, apart from the colorful buildings of "Colorful Datong", the streets of the ancient town itself also retain the original wooden buildings of western Sichuan residences, with a touch of commercial atmosphere, and the ancient town was originally designed as a two-horse road, which should have been quite prosperous in the past. There is a Taoji Restaurant in the town, which is said to be the 80th generation descendant of Tao Yuanming. Whether it is true or not, the restaurant can still fill your stomach. 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.

[Jiaguan Ancient Town Travel Notes] In the hinterland of the Sichuan Basin, there is a place with a long history and full of poetry-Jiaguan Ancient Town. This small town located in the southwest of Qionglai City, Sichuan Province, with its unique geographical location and rich historical and cultural heritage, has become a rare tourist attraction. Jiaguan Ancient Town is located on the beautiful western Sichuan plain, surrounded by mountains, and the clear river passes through the town, adding a bit of tranquility and beauty to this ancient town. ### Scenic spot introduction Walking in Jiaguan Ancient Town, you will be attracted by the well-preserved Ming and Qing buildings. The small alleys paved with bluestone slabs, the antique shops, and the old houses that seem to tell old stories all reveal the traces of the years. What is worth mentioning is the ancient tea-horse road site here, which witnessed the bustling scene of business travelers in history, and people can't help but imagine the lively scene of the year. In addition, Jiaguan has many temples and ancestral halls, such as Guanyin Temple, which are good places to experience local culture and beliefs. ### Traffic strategy It is very convenient to reach Jiaguan Ancient Town. From Chengdu, you can take a high-speed train or long-distance bus to Qionglai City, and then transfer to a local bus or taxi to Jiaguan Ancient Town, which takes about an hour. If you are driving by yourself, you can choose to go directly through the Chengdu-Wenjiang-Qionglai Expressway. The scenery along the way is beautiful and enjoyable. ### Accommodation recommendation For tourists who want to experience the life of the ancient town in depth, it is a good choice to choose to live in the ancient town. There are many inns with local characteristics, such as "Jiaguan Renjia" and "Old Street Inn". These inns not only retain the traditional architectural style, but also provide comfortable services, allowing you to enjoy convenience and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Of course, if you prefer modern accommodation conditions, you can also choose to stay in a hotel in Qionglai City, which is also very convenient. ### Nearby attractions recommended In addition to the charm of Jiaguan Ancient Town itself, there are some places worth visiting nearby. For example, you can visit Tiantai Mountain nearby to enjoy the natural scenery; or visit Wenjun Well to learn about the story of the talented woman Zhuo Wenjun in the Tang Dynasty; and Pingle Ancient Town, which is also a place full of stories. These places are not far from Jiaguan, and can be arranged for a tour together. Jiaguan Ancient Town attracts tourists from all directions with its unique historical and cultural charm.
