Nowadays, with the increasing pressure of life, many people are eager to be able to escape from the city of steel and concrete in their spare time, to experience the return to the real life. In this case, the ancient city and town tours have been sought after by many tourists.

And to say that the most famous in Sichuan, the best experience of the ancient city, may be many people's hearts will have different answers. In my opinion, Sichuan's most ancient, most conscientious, best-preserved ancient city, is not Langzhong Ancient City.

The ancient city of Langzhong is located in northeastern Sichuan, the upper reaches of the Jialing River, as a cultural city with a history of more than 2,300 years, the size of the ancient city of Langzhong in the whole of Sichuan and even the southwest are second to none, is the earliest group of Sichuan 5A level of the ancient city and town. It has preserved the northern Sichuan residential houses and ancient architectural complexes in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and boasts such famous monuments as Zhangfei Temple, Gongyuan, and Huaguang Building. It attracts millions of tourists every year.

When it comes to Langzhong Ancient City, many people will compare it with Lijiang Ancient City. Perhaps in terms of natural beauty and visual impact, Langzhong really can not catch up with Lijiang. But the biggest highlight of the ancient city of Langzhong lies in its original flavor. Throughout China's many ancient cities, once the large-scale commercial development, many aboriginal people will withdraw from the ancient city, so that it has become the world of foreign businessmen.

While Langzhong Ancient City is inevitably commercialized, there are still tens of thousands of original inhabitants inside the ancient city. In the eyes of others, they are the scenery, in their own eyes, this is their ancestral home. In recent years, many residents have also transformed their courtyards into inns, becoming a new choice for many tourists to experience life.

Walking the streets of Langzhong and talking to the locals, you will feel the pride in their bones. This is because Langzhong has always been a major town in the north of the Sichuan River, and has had a rather prominent position. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Langzhong was the capital of Sichuan Province for more than ten years, and was the only capital of Sichuan other than Chengdu.

In addition, Langzhong is a livable city, which is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on the four sides, and from the high altitude, the whole city is just like the Taiji Bagua diagram. It is a feng shui treasure in traditional Chinese culture.

Langzhong, as a small city in northeast Sichuan, prices are relatively moderate, as long as it is not a holiday. Come to Langzhong can easily find more than 100 yuan a night accommodation. In addition, Langzhong's food and drink snacks are also very cheap. Take the local people's favorite beef noodles for example. 6 yuan for a big bowl of noodles, which is very rare in today's soaring prices.
