I accidentally got to know this treasure town - 📍Deyang, which is an hour away from Chengdu. 📌Deyang Stone Carving Park Deyang Stone Carving Park is located in the city of Deyang, named for the stone carving art wall in the park. The art wall is 1080 meters long and 7 meters high, composed of large-scale relief group images, arches, stone pillars, etc., said to be the largest modern art stone carving sculpture group in our country. A city park that looks ordinary without any highlights, but walking into it really shocks the artist's imagination and superb skills. Large continuous ancient Roman-style stone pillars and Baroque-style buildings, carved with countless well-known ancient Chinese mythological stories and stories of national unity, as if you have come to a mythological world that combines Chinese and Western cultures. Choose to arrive in the evening, without the internet celebrities who come to check in, only some local residents strolling after dinner and some martial arts school students practicing. 📌Confucius Temple Square I have been to the Confucius Temple in many cities, and the overall architectural style is not much different. The Confucius Temple Square during the day does not seem to have any special attraction. However, after nightfall, the Confucius Temple Square seems to have a different vitality, and it has become the most joyful nightlife square in the entire city. Small vendors selling all kinds of cheap small commodities, parents catching fish in front of the pond with their children, a food stall where you can eat all kinds of authentic local food, and even groups of square dance aunts are a beautiful landscape. Perhaps this is the magic of travel. Seeing familiar things in unfamiliar places can also arouse your deep curiosity.
