Pingle Ancient Town

A typical ancient town in western Sichuan, with simple architectural style. Most locals drive to play. It is very lively on holidays and weekends. This kind of liveliness is not the liveliness of overdevelopment to fool tourists, but a rare atmosphere of fireworks. Snacks and refreshments are very affordable. Fried potatoes, fried bugs, stinky tofu, milk soup noodles, stone pot fish, and stone-ground tofu can be seen everywhere. I don’t eat much, but fortunately the ingredients are good. For example, the fish are slaughtered on the spot and the taste is authentic. It is suitable for the whole family to travel together, walk around, eat and have fun in the sun~

Escape from the unfamiliar Chengdu with no New Year atmosphere, and head straight to the Pingle Ancient Town with its rich rural flavor and ancient style. The stone-paved old street with gurgling streams, the festive and dense wonderful couple trees, and the ancient stone bridge as a landmark building! Of course, there is also the "Square Spring Festival Gala" which is also very popular with the audience, a wide variety of snacks (milk soup noodles are authentic), and the air around feels moist and fresh! The colorful night view of the ancient town is also very different from the dazzling large-scale lantern festival, which looks pure and clear! At the end of the picture, I present my first river lantern show, and pray sincerely for my relatives!

I walked slowly along Leshan Street in the town, observing the style of this ancient town full of a strong modern commercial atmosphere. There were dense crowds of people around me, and the shouts of merchants soliciting customers came to my ears from time to time. The products or food being promoted would suddenly be delivered to you inadvertently. The smiling faces of diners feasting on their food carried the satisfaction and joy. I wondered what kind of historical changes the vicissitudes of more than 2,000 years had brought to this ancient town? Did the simple and kind folk customs and populism continue to be passed down from the past? But the times are always moving forward. No matter what, the survival mode of Pingle Ancient Town is ultimately a product of the development of the times.

Not good, it feels like everything is undeveloped, shabby, and there's people playing mahjong downstairs of the hotel where I live, speechless

Pingle Ancient Town is located 93 kilometers southwest of Chengdu and 18 kilometers southwest of Qionglai City. It is a famous historical and cultural town in China. It is known as "one flat, two solid, and three closed". It has a long history, a flourishing humanities, overlapping green mountains, and lush bamboo trees. The old banyan trees, Baimo River, stilt houses built along the river, bluestone-paved streets, and endless bamboo sea in Pingle Ancient Town have jointly cultivated the idyllic landscape feelings of the ancient town residents for thousands of years, and nurtured the natural and fresh local culture of Pingle Ancient Town.

The world-renowned "Nine Ancients" carry Pingle's endless cultural charm - ancient streets, ancient temples, ancient bridges, ancient trees, ancient weirs, ancient workshops, ancient roads, ancient customs, ancient songs, etc. The "scenery outside the town" of Pingle Ancient Town is even more breathtaking. The Lugou Natural Scenic Area, Jinhua Mountain Scenic Area, Jinjigou Scenic Area, Hualien Mountain Scenic Area and Qin and Han Ancient Post Road Scenic Area are all classics of human civilization.

Not bad, at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, usually Tiantai Mountain and Pingle Ancient Town are played together. You can go up the mountain directly the day before, play Tiantai Mountain, stay for one night, go out of the mountain the next day, and then spend an afternoon or one night in the ancient town. However, I personally recommend going to Pingle Ancient Town the day before, staying in the ancient town after visiting the night, and then going to Tiantai Mountain early the next morning and going down the mountain in the evening, because the accommodation in Tiantai Mountain is too pitfall. During the peak season in summer, the very poor wooden bed room, with nothing, costs more than 500 yuan. It is not recommended to stay overnight. Besides, the ancient town is very literary, and many places look very good, and it is good to take pictures. Friends who need more Chengdu guides can follow me China-TravelNote private chat haha, there are also pictures of Tiantai Mountain in it. As a backpacking enthusiast who works and runs a homestay, I can also give you some local travel suggestions.

There are bamboo rafts cruising by the river in Pingle Ancient Town, and you can enjoy the scenery and water play, which will make you linger. At night, you can enjoy the night view by the river, taste the barbecue in the ancient town, and release river lanterns and Kongming lanterns. If you have enough time, you can visit all the major attractions. Picnic is a good choice for the hiking trip to Jinjigou. Look at the mossy ancient papermaking stone cylinders and wooden mills everywhere, and there are people living in the deep bamboo forest in front. It is indeed a good choice for natural ecological tours to explore the ancient and secluded; climb Jinhua Mountain, worship the Buddha, and look for the gods of the three religions in the Nanzhu Sea; drive to the Lugou Bamboo Sea, there is a magical nature and an ancient papermaking workshop. It is perfect to stay in the mountains and recuperate in the natural oxygen bar; drive to the vast bamboo sea to the Li Family Courtyard, and look for traces of history in the ancient house.

Pingle Ancient Town has many unique local snacks, such as bowls of mutton, yam steamed buns, river water tofu pudding, etc., which are unforgettable.

It's more beautiful at night. I'll come and show it off next time I have a chance. It's very big and worth a visit.

Legu Town gives me the feeling of Huanglongxi, with a small ditch in the middle of the street

Pingle Ancient Town is located on the bank of Baimo River. The river is calm and wide, and you can take a bamboo raft cruise. The banks are lined with towering ancient trees and the streets are lined with green tiles. Pingle's ancient bridge is also very distinctive. Standing on the vermilion ancient bridge, you can see the street scenes on both sides of the Baimo River. Pingle's porcelain-based bamboo weaving is very good. The bamboo is split into hair-thin pieces, and porcelain is used as the base to weave works of art with simple patterns. The milk soup noodles here are also a must-try.

Some people say: If you want to play with water in the summer, go to Pingle! Indeed, Pingle Ancient Town is a good place to play with water. Compared with other ancient towns in the Chengdu area, the water source is the advantage here and also a major feature here!

It's very lively, with many local gadgets. It's very comfortable to sit by the river, drink tea, and play in the water at the ferry. The Sichuan people's comfort is truly experienced here, and the things are very cheap. Half a day is enough for playing. If you want to experience it well, you can drink tea by the river and watch the night view at night.

A small ancient town in Qionglai. Although it is not as popular as Fenghuang, Pingyao and Lijiang, it is less crowded.

It is also an ancient town that is undergoing renovation and expansion, but part of it is still original. You can play in the water, and the one that impressed me most was the "tea boat", which is a bamboo raft with a small bamboo house on it. You can row it to the middle of the river to play mahjong - yes, Sichuan people come out to play just to change the place to play mahjong, well, they are also very persistent.

I went to Pingle Ancient Town when I went to Tiantai Mountain. It was OK! I ate a lot of special snacks

The scenery is just average, with a strong modern commercial atmosphere

Ancient towns all look the same wherever they are. The "Leshan Bridge" looks okay from a distance, but the streets of the town are full of "milk soup noodles + Bobo chicken". The milk soup noodles are not as delicious as they look.

Pingle Ancient Town is famous for its quaint streets and the original and simple folk customs of western Sichuan. In the ancient town, you can enjoy the long-lost ancient charm and tranquility outside the city. Eliminating the impetuousness of modern civilization, you can see the mountains, rivers, flowers and plants full of spirituality. What you have is to open your mind, forget your worries, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and let time go back...

We arrived at five in the afternoon that day and saw such a quiet place that we didn't want to ride anymore.

There are bamboo rafts cruising on the riverside of Pingle Ancient Town, and the activities such as sightseeing and water play will make you linger. At night, you can enjoy the night view by the river, taste the ancient town barbecue, and release river lanterns and Kongming lanterns.

Located in the southwest of Qionglai City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, by the Baimo River, it is 18 kilometers away from Qionglai City, 93 kilometers away from Chengdu City, and 7 kilometers away from the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. The town covers an area of ​​38.6 square kilometers and is the largest town under the jurisdiction of Qionglai City. It is known as "one flat, two solid, three sandwiched" and is worth a visit.

It's so cool to play in the water in the summer. We went there in early spring, so we couldn't play in the water, but the scenery was nice and there were few people. It was great for taking pictures.

Pingle Ancient Town is located about 90 kilometers southwest of Chengdu and more than 10 kilometers southwest of Qionglai City. It is also an ancient town with a long history. The ancient town is crossed by the Baimo River. Both sides of the river are full of green trees, small bridges and flowing water, and leisure tea chairs. Coming here is more of an enjoyment. Sitting by the river, bathing in the sun, enjoying the breeze, and watching the river boating, isn't it comfortable and comfortable? The scale of the ancient town is also constantly expanding. The neighboring villages still retain the simple folk customs. Surrounded by hills, it is really like a fairyland!

It is suitable for people who can live a slow life to daydream, and it is best to bring your partner with you.

Pingle Ancient Town is built along the river. The town retains the ancient dwellings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the houses on both sides of the ancient street are wooden structures with one floor and one basement. Generally, the lower floor is used as a shop and the upper floor is used as a living room, reflecting the rich western Sichuan style. Walking in the ancient town, I found that this is a place where urban people seek comfort. The teahouses along the river are scattered by the river with tables, chairs and coffee tables for tourists to rest and drink tea. What's more, you can drink tea while soaking your feet in the river to experience the coolness of the water. It was the weekend when we arrived, and there were many people at dusk. Everyone was drinking tea, playing mahjong, chatting, and the children were playing in the water. From time to time, we could hear the children's happy laughter in the distance. Such a relaxed atmosphere immediately eliminated our fatigue during the journey and once inspired our interest in photography.

Suggestion: When you come here during the summer vacation, stay here for a while, drink some tea and chat. The quiet environment will make you like this place.

Pingle Ancient Town, 110 kilometers away from Chengdu, has a river running through it for water play, just like most ancient towns.

It only takes more than two hours to take a direct bus from Chengdu Xinnanmen Station to Pingle. Pingle is very large and can be visited for two hours. Various ancient streets and old houses have different flavors. Pingle has a large flow of people. The most famous is milk soup noodles. There are also many snacks such as peach slices and fried dough twists. Pingle is an ancient town suitable for cooling off by the river. The entire river is lined with tea stalls. You can play mahjong and drink tea to enjoy the authentic Chengdu weekend time. The accommodation price ranges from 80 to 300. There are all kinds of environments, and they are generally good. Restaurants are also everywhere.

Leaving the noisy city and coming to this small town, I feel even more relaxed. Walking on the paths on both sides, there are streams with small bridges and flowing water in the middle. In the distance, a ray of sunlight refracts from the trees onto the stream, shining silver, so beautiful!

Actually, I am also a fan of ancient towns. Although I think they are all the same, I just want to see them! Pingle gives me a very different feeling, a sense of tranquility and simplicity, and the key is that the cost is not high!

Before the car arrived at the ancient town, the road passed through a bamboo forest that blocked out the sun, which shocked me. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures while driving. According to the locals, the water of Baimo River became turbid and yellow due to the construction of some mud in the upper reaches. The water of the river used to be very clear.

Most of the ancient towns in China, whether it is Lijiang, Zhouzhuang or Fenghuang, always have a small river or stream surrounding the life of the town, and Pingle is no exception.

It is actually similar to Lijiang Ancient Town, Shangri-La Ancient Town, Dali Ancient Town, etc., except that there are more tourists than locals, and Yiwu small commodities can be seen everywhere. Of course, the local snacks are still good. You must try the sweet-skin duck, it tastes good.

The scale is quite large, but nowadays the ancient towns in China are heavily commercialized - you can find some ancient relics among the many shops, inns and restaurants.

There are not many people there on weekdays, and it is a bit deserted. Not only is there a small bridge and flowing water, but there is also a literary and fresh style.

I recommend you to listen to the African hand drums in the ancient town. If you go, you can go to the Suiyuan Inn at the bridge head and sit with the passerby. There are footprints of travelers everywhere! It's a very good place, with many people's travel photos and items. The boss is also very nice. There is also a braised potato shop in the alley next to the passerby, which tastes very good!

I visited the ancient town before when I went to Tiantai Mountain, but I just walked around it briefly. I really wanted to send a postcard to my friend far away, because on my first day at work, I received a postcard from Ye in Macau, with an ugly almond cookie drawn on it. At first, I thought it was a mistake or alteration. Unfortunately, Pingle didn't have my postcard, and the post office staff I finally found looked apologetic. So I gave up.

When I came here, the weather was not very good and there were not many people. When the weather is fine during holidays, there will be many people playing in the water. They use water guns to have water fights.

A newly built modern ancient street. The reason why it is called modern is that there are bars and various entertainment places on this street. It feels a bit like the charm of Lijiang. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's an illusion.

The night view of the ancient town is quite good. Some people say that the illumination project is huge. I don’t think so. It can at least give people a kind of spiritual peace. It is a warm beacon. It is a spiritual habitat.

After dinner, it started to drizzle. The ancient town in the rain had a unique flavor... The rain couldn't stop us...

The night view of Pingle Ancient Town... I feel that the lights at night are like a paradise and a bit like a Chinese Ghost Story.

The ancient town is still beautiful at night

Go to a very famous ancient town, Pingle Ancient Town. This ancient town is a fusion of the local people's living market and the ancient town.

Pingle is mainly for playing in the water. It is very relaxing to go there in summer. It feels good to make a cup of tea and eat some snacks by the river.

This is my favorite ancient town in Chengdu or its surrounding areas. See the scenery, play in the water, and stay in a wooden house by the water at night. It's comfortable! It's definitely worth a visit

What can I say about Pingle~~~ It's a very small and exquisite town with some cool shops and scenery of small bridges and flowing water~~~ It's just not majestic enough. If you have the chance to pass by, you can go and have a look. It's nice to visit it together with other big attractions, but I personally don't think it's worth a special trip.

After strolling around the night market, you can come to Pingsha Luoyan Music Square and listen to the "Bring Your Guitar to Pingle" fan club. It is so leisurely.

Wandering slowly along the ancient street, you will see many vendors selling corn buns, which are much more delicious than those in big cities that are made with pigments and flavors. The sweet taste of corn is unforgettable. The milk soup noodles and Bobo chicken in the town are must-try.

In Pingle Ancient Town, there are too many streets and alleys related to "Pingsha Luoyan", and the deep meaning of them is not well understood. Each street is relatively short, but the narrow space gives people a sense of compactness and refinement.

The ancient streets and the original and simple folk customs of western Sichuan. In the ancient town area, you can enjoy the long-lost ancient charm and tranquility of Jiupingle Ancient Town outside the city. Eliminating the impetuousness of modern civilization, you can see the mountains, rivers, flowers and plants full of spirituality. What you have is to open your mind, forget your worries, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and let time go back...

Actually, I am not very interested in the ancient buildings in the ancient town. The newly built part is like an expanded and idle version of the Koi Kuanzhai Alley. It is not worth taking a two-hour drive to go there during your vacation. The old part is like most ancient towns, where you can buy some ethnic products, clothes and cakes.

The town is quite big, and basically maintains a quaint style. Several streets have been specially developed for tourism, but the commercial atmosphere is quite strong. Perhaps without the crowds and noise of half the tourist areas, this initially developed town feels quite good.

Compared with other ancient towns, Pingle still retains a sense of simplicity and countryside, perhaps because of its popularity, or perhaps because its commercial value has not yet reached the level of external capital intervention. Fortunately, the ancient town still has some of the flavor of an ancient town!

A one-day tour of the ancient town is a little regrettable. Take a good walk, taste the food, and elope. In short, you must visit Pingle when you come to Chengdu!

The scenery of Pingle, green grass, cool water, blue sky. In the afternoon, a cup of tea, a rocking chair, this is life, leisurely and peaceful.

Nowadays, the ancient town has been packaged with too many modern elements. Some of them are obviously imitations of antiques rather than real antiques, which is a small regret of this journey.

I walked around in Pingle, but there wasn't really much to see. I went to eat some milk soup noodles, but I have a poor sense of taste and didn't taste anything special.

There is really nothing to do in Pingle. There are no special shops, but there are a lot of inns, too many. I think the main good thing is the river. If you haven't been there, you can go and see it if you have time, but if you want to say it's good, this ancient town is really not good. Just make do with it, it's also good to see things you haven't seen before.

There were no people going there before, but now it has been renovated and is the 100th most beautiful ancient town in China. There are many people! It is OK to take photos.

Pingle Ancient Town has no special features. Walking around, I feel that ancient towns all over the country have been assimilated. It is very commercialized.

People from Chengdu should all come here to spend the weekend. There are people playing mahjong everywhere, haha!

Pingle Ancient Town has a long history, fresh and elegant, and its buildings have ancient charm and are very beautiful. It has the flavor of a Jiangnan water town.

Pingle Ancient Town is a bit like the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The rape flowers are in bloom, and the ground is golden, which is also a surprise.

Pingle Ancient Town is not big, but it has the atmosphere of a small water town. It is especially exciting to see many people going to the river to play in the water.

When I went there, the ancient town was just being built and there were not many tourists. It was a modern ancient town with good air, but it lacked some of its ancient charm.

I've been there many times. It's very relaxing. I drink tea during the day and eat grilled fish at night. It's very comfortable.

Convenient transportation, complete service facilities, beautiful scenery and unique features.

In the ancient town, playing in the water like a child is very refreshing in the hot summer. There are many bars in the ancient town, which are all small places for romance and art. Buy a hairpin and pretend to be a lady, which is a unique flavor. There is also a fish foot massage, you can try it, it is very comfortable.

Find yourself in a quiet place. You can sit on the balcony to bask in the sun and drink coffee during the day, and drink and chat in the pub at night. If you want me to be a god, I will ask you, what am I now... Sunshine, coffee, alcohol, night breeze, music... You will find that everything is right...

A typical Sichuan ancient town. On the way back from Tiantai Mountain, you can have a meal, drink tea, and play mahjong. Haha, I have learned the life of Chengdu people.

It was the end of the year when I went there. There was drizzling rain in the sky, and it was very cold and quiet. There were not many residents in the ancient town, and it basically retained its original ecology. It is a good place for quiet contemplation.
