PAXTON MURPHY

Guangyuan | Night Tour of Zhaohua Ancient City | Full of festive atmosphere

Six out of Qishan, nine cuts in the Central Plains, these Three Kingdoms stories all happened in the northern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi region, such as Zhaohua Ancient City in Guangyuan. This is a genuine ancient city, with city towers, city walls, county yamen, tribute institute, city temple, celebrity relics, everything other ancient cities in China have. During the Spring Festival this year, there were performances and night markets, and the atmosphere was particularly good. ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Zhaohua Ancient City, Baolun Town, Lizhou District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. It takes about forty minutes to drive from Guangyuan. You can navigate, it's very easy to find. There is a parking lot outside the ancient city. During the Spring Festival, there are many cars, you can park at nearby farmhouses, 10 yuan for any parking. 🕙Opening hours: 24 hours, you can stay inside, but most of the paid attractions close at six o'clock, restaurants and homestays, no time limit. 💰Ticket price: Just stroll around the commercial street in the ancient city, no money. 45 yuan per person is a package ticket, including county yamen, tribute institute, city tower and other historical attractions. There are performances at fixed times inside, which is quite cheap, cheaper than the nearby Langzhong Ancient City. 🌟Highlights: 👉Here during the Three Kingdoms period was the Jiameng Pass where Ma Chao and Zhang Fei fought. It gradually developed into an ancient city and is also part of the Jianmen Shudao Scenic Area. After parking the car and looking at the guide map, mainly visit the three streets running east-west and the vicinity of the two city gates to the east and west. The main street running horizontally is the most important Jinniu Road in the ancient Shu Road, now called Taishou Street. The west end of the street is mostly restaurants and homestays, with clouds and green mountains in the distance connected into a piece. Going south according to the sign, you can go to the East City Tower to have a look. There is a pass here called Jiameng Pass, where you can climb the city wall. There are also historical relics such as Fei Yi's tomb nearby. 👉Back to the main street and walk towards the city center, where there are many people. The free City God Temple here is quite lively. The ancient theater building is opposite, and to the north are the county yamen, Confucius Temple, etc. The main street continues to the east, where you can see another city gate called Zhanfeng Gate, which looks quite ancient. Tourists can also climb up to overlook the panorama of the ancient city. 👉The buildings in the ancient city are all Ming and Qing style buildings in northern Sichuan. They sell all kinds of local ingredients along the street. There are also coffee shops, milk tea shops, and some alleys on the side that you can walk into. You will find some local residences and some good homestays hidden here. 👉The southernmost part of the ancient city has a section of Han Dynasty city wall, which looks relatively low, probably because it is too old and precarious. It has been preserved for two thousand years, which is really not easy. Further out from here are farmland and the Jialing River, and further away are continuous mountains. 📌Small Tips: During the Spring Festival, the lights are very beautiful at night. After various red lanterns and colored lanterns are hung up, there is a feeling of visiting a temple fair. The lanterns sold on the street, and the immersive night performance (Jiameng Spring and Autumn) at the far west end, can all be experienced.
