Shuimo ancient town starts from Chengdu, about 100 kilometers, and it can be reached in less than two hours by car. There are many traditional cultural buildings in this ancient town, and at the same time, they also contain the unique scenic spots of the Qiang nationality, which are very distinctive. For example, the old stage with a history of more than 100 years, Qiangzhai folk houses and so on. There are also many special foods in the town, such as skewered bacon, roasted Tibetan pigs, pickled bean curd, spicy and spicy local chicken, etc., which are absolutely mouth-watering.
I have traveled a lot about the ancient towns in Sichuan, and there are really too many places I like. I want to recommend them to everyone. Due to the limitation of words, I would rather introduce only one place at a time. Perhaps, you will be more impressed. Here I will introduce an ancient town that can be visited in one day: Anren Ancient Town.
People who know the ancient town of Anren, it is estimated that there are far fewer people who have heard of the big landlord Liu Wencai. This is due to the text "Rent Collection House" in the second grade of primary school 38 years ago. In the text, Liu Wencai was a bully landlord who ate people and didn't spit bones in the evil old society. Those who were born after 6070 remembered the bad guys read in this textbook. Liu Wencai is located in Anren Ancient Town, Dayi County, Sichuan Province. In fact, he died before the liberation of New China. In fact, in Anren, it was not Liu Wencai who was bloodier than him and his hands were stained with more blood, but two great men of the same Liu family: Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui. A Liu's top three has different fates and different endings.
We listened to the advice of the staff at the ticket window. Liu's Manor, Liu Wenhui Mansion and Shuren Street, the old street of the Republic of China, should be viewed from Liu Wenhui Mansion first. Today's Liu Wenhui Mansion is one of the open visiting projects in Anren Ancient Town. Even on a hot day, it is full of tourists. Liu Wenhui Mansion, located in Anren Min 'an Village, has two gates. The carved design of the gate combining Chinese and Western styles is tall and imposing. In the middle of the lintel, four characters are written, namely, "Walking in harmony" and "entering Germany to study", which is the traditional literati style of the master. Today's mansion is used as the exhibition hall of Liu Wenhui's former residence. Therefore, from the long tunnel, the mansion with an area of more than 8,000 square meters is divided into two separate courtyards in the north and south, which is a traditional residential building in western Sichuan. Some of the 160 rooms in it are used as exhibition rooms, with themes such as "Xikang customs", "Sichuan warlord melee" and "active support for the war of resistance", showing relevant historical pictures and articles.
Liu's Manor is now known as the "Western Sichuan Architectural Culture Boutique", covering an area of more than 70,000 square meters, with a building area of more than 20,000 square meters and more than 350 rooms. 1932, relying on the influence of his younger brother Liu Wenhui, Liu Wencai collected and scraped the property, and built this grand manor for himself, becoming one of the few big landlords' manors in Sichuan and even in China. Garden courtyards overlap, with complex layout and clear zoning. There are three gardens in the manor, which are divided into hall, living room, reception room, accounting room, embroidered building, employees' house, rent collection house, granary, secret vault, water dungeon and Buddhist temple, moon-gazing platform, Xiaoyao Palace, garden and orchard. It is said that the dungeon was actually a tobacco warehouse where opium was placed.
The old streets in Anren Ancient Town are Shuren Street, Hongxing Street and Yumin Street. Anhuili, located between Liu Manor and Liu Wenhui Mansion, is also worth seeing. This pedestrian street is quite interesting in Chengdu's Jinli Old Street. In the middle of the two footpath shops, there are small bridges and flowing water, tree-lined birds and flowers, which are obvious in the ancient town of western Sichuan, but the commercial taste also overshadows the charm of humanity. I ordered a bowl of cold cakes here, made of rice cakes and brown sugar water. After being chilled, it tastes cool, smooth and sweet. This is our favorite snack in western Sichuan. At night, in Daxin Street, brightly lit shops, Youxuewang, yellow chicken, stone mill bean curd, Wencai spareribs and manor fish shreds, probably all the snacks in Qigu Town are gathered in this street, right?
Shuren Street and Yumin Street, where the husband's pavilion gathers, are dry streets. Around this street, there are more than a dozen mansions in the period of the Republic of China. Houses, commercial streets, schools and tea houses built around the Liu family are all along the street. The street stones and buildings people walk by are everywhere carved with beams and painted buildings in the 1930s and 1940s, with blue bricks and heavy tiles. Behind those mansion buildings, there are wonderful stories and mysterious truths that cannot be said in history.
Such an ancient town with history, humanity, architecture and stories is worth a visit to live and experience slowly.

There are too many ancient towns in Sichuan, too numerous to mention, and it's a long story ... Just around Chengdu, there are so many ancient towns, such as Huanglongxi, Jiezi, Pingle, Xilai, Wufengxi, Yuantong, Luodai and Anren ... For example, Chongzhou is next to each other, so you can choose according to your location.
Other places in Sichuan include Luocheng ancient town in Leshan, Xianshi ancient town in Zigong, Fobao ancient town in Luzhou, Yaoba ancient town and Lizhuang ancient town in Yibin. It's not too big. A day trip is enough. Relatively speaking, Li Zhuang is more meaningful. After all, there are still relics of the Anti-Japanese War along the Yangtze River. It is also delightful to stay for a day, eat white meat from Li Zhuang and drink local liquor. Of course, there are many ancient towns in Mianyang and Deyang, but their fame is a little inferior. As for Langzhong, it should be regarded as an ancient city. A day trip is ok, but it is a little tiring. In fact, there are more ancient towns to visit now, but they are a little different from others. They like bigger and more lively ancient towns, such as Jiezi Ancient Town and Huanglongxi. Maybe I am impetuous inside, haha.
Personally, I prefer Longhua ancient town in Yibin. Although the town is small, there are not many tourists and beautiful scenery. A covered bridge crosses the stream, and there is a standing Buddha on the opposite hill. You can climb the mountain to pay homage, overlook the scenery of the town, and try the local green tea. It tastes so good that even I, who never drinks green tea, regret buying less.
I have been to all the above ancient towns, and I can't remember many of them for a while. To sum up, the ancient towns around Chengdu are more interesting, and Jiezi ancient town feels ok. Other places will be more deserted, but relatively primitive. The ancient town of Luzhou charges, but it is easy to evade tickets. There is also the ancient town of Xilai, which is actually good. The rice candy is delicious and the price is cheap. There are strawberries and fruits around it. It's just a little small, suitable for many people to go together.
Huanglongxi, Langzhong, Zhaohua, etc., there are about 40 ancient cities, which can be visited in one day. Eat and have fun, sing and enjoy it.
