The stone-ground bean curd in the ancient town is very famous, and almost every family makes it, but each has its own characteristics.

The most distinctive feature of the ancient town is its teahouse. On both sides of the road, on the river embankment, and under the bamboo forest, the bamboo platforms, bamboo chairs, bamboo benches, and colorful sun umbrellas with the word "一" spread out have become a landmark in the ancient town.

The most beautiful time of Huanglong River is when it rains and fogs sometimes. The weather is misty and misty, which is very poetic.

Yuelai is a typical ancient town in western Sichuan. In Yuelai town, everything is quiet and peaceful. People play long Sichuan cards under the lazy afternoon sun, sit in the small tea shop at the bridgehead, and drink.

With a bowl of scented tea for three cents, time seems to have stopped, and the bustle and bustle that catches the eye are just like the wind, but the heart stops.
