Things to do in Zigong

It's very suitable for younger children; it's quite large, and we didn't get to see all the attractions because our kids were too young. The only downside was the food – it was terrible. A simple cone ice cream cost 16 yuan (and was extremely sweet). Personally, I didn't think it was a good place to eat; the other attractions were fine.

This is a very unique museum that showcases the history and culture of salt production in Sichuan during ancient times, allowing visitors to understand the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancient working people. It is a highly worthwhile attraction to visit.

A very worthwhile attraction to visit, and we even hired a guide; unfortunately, we couldn't see the brine extraction process, and seeing it separately would cost an extra 200 yuan, so we could only watch it via video; the current policies for seniors and children at tourist attractions are really thoughtful, as they are all free of charge.

I heard that the Zigong lanterns are different every year, attracting tourists from all over the country and the world. This year was my first time to visit Zigong in Sichuan. It was really unique. The bundled lights, colored lights, and a series of lights were really first-class, better than any other light show I have been to.

The environment is very tranquil, and besides the Buddha itself, there are many other scenic spots to see. It's a quaint and peaceful place. The Buddha itself is also very beautiful, but it lacks detailed explanations.

1. Xianshi Ancient Town was built in the Sui Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,400 years. It is located on the banks of the Fuxi River in the northern part of Yantan District, Zigong City, Sichuan Province. It was once an important salt transport port in ancient times. Many Qing Dynasty buildings are preserved here. The ancient buildings and bells of ancient temples lined up on the streets make the whole ancient town full of historical weight. 2. There are four streets, five stacks, five temples, one ancestral hall, three docks, one carp and three archways, nine monuments and ten lands in the ancient town. These buildings not only reflect the perfect combination of architectural design and style of ancient towns in my country, but also are specimens of the customs and customs of the town in southern Sichuan. 3. Xianshi Ancient Town has not had too much commercial development, retaining its original living conditions, and residents still maintain their traditional lifestyles. The food here is also very distinctive, and tofu rice is a local delicacy. 4. Visitors can feel a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere here. There is no need to rush to visit, and they can slowly savor the charm of the ancient town. Due to the low degree of commercialization, tourists can enjoy a more peaceful experience here. 5. Although it is about 10 kilometers from downtown Zigong, the road conditions may be poor and it takes about 40 minutes to drive there [^2^]. However, once you arrive, you will find that this ancient town is unique and worth a visit.

Parking is convenient at the Maojiaba boarding point for the night cruise on the Fuxi River, with ample underground parking spaces, and it's a short walk to the pier. The night view is atmospheric and the river scenery is delightful, making for a very pleasant experience overall.

It's definitely worth a visit; the scattered gates and the bridge are both excellent. The yellow glazed tiles exude grandeur. Next to it is the reconstructed county government office, which can be visited together. There's a door at the back that leads out...

The central horizontal plaque reads "Huanhou Palace," and it is the only butcher guild hall in Zigong City. The mountain gate is adorned with stucco, stone carvings, and layered polychrome decorations. The most distinctive features are the "Immortals Offering Longevity" stone carving, the wood carvings on the inner walls of the courtyard, the lattice windows of the west wing, and the camel-hump-shaped roof of the main hall's front corridor. The palace itself is a courtyard house, originally built during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. Located at the intersection of Zhonghua Road, the architecture is exquisite and ingenious. Utilizing the terrain's elevation difference, with a 14.16-meter height difference between the front and back, it creates a visually inverted sense of height.

A small town with unique characteristics, worth visiting again. There are many things to eat.
