Nowadays, as the pressure of life continues to increase, many people are eager to escape from the reinforced concrete city in their spare time and experience a return to nature.

Among them, tours of ancient cities and towns are sought after by many tourists.

When it comes to the most famous and most experienced ancient city in Sichuan, many people may have different answers in their minds.

In my opinion, the most quaint, conscientious, and best-preserved ancient city in Sichuan is the ancient city of Langzhong.

Langzhong Ancient City is located in the northeast of Sichuan, on the upper reaches of the Jialing River. As a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,300 years, Langzhong Ancient City is second to none in the entire Sichuan and even the southwest. It is one of the first batch of 5A-level ancient cities and towns in Sichuan.

The Ming and Qing styles of northern Sichuan folk houses and ancient buildings have been preserved here, and there are places of interest such as Zhangfei Temple, Gongyuan, and Huaguang Tower.

It attracts millions of tourists every year.

Speaking of Langzhong Ancient City, many people will compare it with Lijiang Ancient City.

Perhaps in terms of natural scenery and visual impact, Langzhong really cannot keep up with Lijiang.

But the biggest highlight of Langzhong Ancient City is its authenticity.

Looking at many ancient cities in my country, once large-scale commercial development occurs, many aborigines will withdraw from the ancient cities, leaving them to be dominated by foreign merchants.

Although Langzhong Ancient City is inevitably commercialized, there are still tens of thousands of original residents in the ancient city.

In the eyes of others, they are scenery, but in their own eyes, this is their ancestral home.

In recent years, many residents have transformed their courtyard houses into inns, which have become a new choice for many tourists to experience life.

Walking in the streets of Langzhong and chatting with the locals, you will feel the pride in their bones.

Because Langzhong has always been an important town in northern Sichuan in history and has a very prominent status.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Langzhong became the capital of Sichuan Province for more than ten years, and was the only provincial capital in Sichuan besides Chengdu.

In addition, Langzhong is a livable city. It is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on four sides. Viewed from a high altitude, the entire city looks like a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

It is a geomantic treasure land in traditional Chinese culture.

As a small town in northeastern Sichuan, prices in Langzhong are relatively moderate, as long as it is not a holiday.

When you come to Langzhong, you can easily find accommodation for more than 100 yuan a night.

In addition, food and snacks in Langzhong are also very cheap.

Take the local favorite beef noodles as an example.

You can get a big bowl of noodles for only 6 yuan, which is very rare and valuable today when prices are soaring.
