User Reviews

By China-TravelNote users |

I thought there were few tourists, but I didn't expect that the passenger flow today was still very substantial. Many of them drove private cars from Chengdu and surrounding counties. There is a Christian church at the entrance of the ancient town. There are three forks at the entrance. I chose the difficult road and entered the core area of ​​the ancient town from the mountain. The peach blossoms along the way complement each other. There is a pavilion for tourists to rest at the highest point of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire Wufengxi Ancient Town and both sides of the Tuojiang River. I personally think this is a good place for young people to talk about love. The entire ancient town is divided into commercial areas and residential areas. The scenery is charming all the way down from the mountain, with birds singing and flowers blooming. On the road, I also encountered a brick wall that I personally think is at least more than a hundred years old. All the way downhill, along the bluestone road, I soon walked to the commercial area of ​​the ancient town, which is also the prosperous area of ​​the ancient town. There are many stores, all selling local specialties, and there are several hotels, which are called inns in the ancient town.

🖼Wufengxi Ancient Town, with its gardens, landscapes, ancient streets and streams, is all built now. It is called an ancient town, but it is more like a park, suitable for walking and leisure.

[Wufeng Creek] I kind of like this not-so-famous ancient town. There are not many tourists, but it has some small characteristics. There are many unique inns hidden in the winding paths, which should be more comfortable in summer.

By Nothing is ordinary |

Wufeng Ancient Town is similar to Lijiang in Yunnan. It is built on the mountain, with green mountains and clear water. You can spend half a day there. Then go to Shiban River and the farmyard to pick some oranges, buy some local eggs, and choose some fresh vegetarian dishes from the mountains. It is a relaxing weekend trip with leisure and nature.

By Silu Travel |

This modern ancient town built on the mountain is a rare sight in Chengdu, the land of abundance. It is a great place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a new highlight for Chengdu people's weekend leisure tours and is very suitable for those who want to travel slowly. There are also Western-style churches in European and American styles in the ancient town, which are very suitable for taking photos.

Wufeng Creek is built on the mountain, with mountains and waters interdependent. It gives people a kind of elegance that is different from the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes people feel surprised. The words of the wandering singer "We are not wandering but flying bravely" made me fully feel the freedom that everyone yearns for in their hearts. In such a leisurely and slow-paced life, each of us pursues the life we ​​want to live and like, and has the courage to go out. This may be the real life.

By My name is Xiao Miao |

Longquan Mountain Town feels relatively new. Because it is located in Longquan Mountain, the air is very good. The ancient town is lined up one after another, with a strong sense of hierarchy. The tributary of Tuojiang River passes through the town. It is a mountain and water ancient town. It is indeed a good choice to take your family here for a rest on weekends.

It is a good place for traveling in the suburbs of Chengdu and sunbathing. It is not suitable for outsiders to visit because its characteristics are not obvious enough and it is only suitable for a leisurely vacation.

By My name is Xiao Miao |

Now, I always feel that this place is too new and too clean. It should be rebuilt, but it has lost some of its historical flavor and has a hint of park atmosphere. With mountains and water, the ancient town is indeed very spiritual. Overlooking the entire ancient town from the top of the mountain, this should belong to the Longquan Mountain hilly area.

Some of the small shops in the ancient town are also decorated in a very artistic way, but they make me feel that the world is united. Some of the small shops in the ancient town are also decorated in a very artistic way, but they make me feel that the world is united.

However, what surprised me was the autumn colors here, which are really beautiful.

As a local, this is still my favorite spot. The second picture gives me the feeling of seeing a scene from Spirited Away. The scenery is OK, suitable for weekend trips. The snacks are generally not special. I used to go back every spring, but now I have no time to go there because I am working. I always miss it. It's a different feeling.

By Lonely Traveler in Gray |

It is no longer the Wufeng Creek of the past, but some of its past appearance remains.

By Buying dreams for a living |

Compared with Huanglongxi near Chengdu, Luodai Ancient Town is not as large-scale as Huanglongxi, but it is not overdeveloped. It takes less than 20 minutes to get there from Luodai, so the transportation is very convenient.

By Shepherdess |

Due to various reasons, this is my second time here. Not only is it purely handmade, but it is also very crudely made...

Food is generally expensive. The fried potatoes are 1/3 of those sold at Chengdu stalls, but they cost 6 yuan a portion.

How come Sichuan is located in Fuzhou?

It's a good place for a weekend break. It's not very big, but it has just been developed. It's a good choice for a group of friends or a family outing. I personally think it's more suitable for summer because you can play in the water.

By Strong Grass in the Wind |

Small, the scenery is OK, the town is well-proportioned, with mountains and water, it is more suitable for friends who like quiet. There are many vegetations, make a cup of tea, and listen to cicada music.

By Tiny |

The transportation is very convenient. I went there from Luodai. I think I can go there on weekends, stay for a night, eat some barbecue, drink some beer, and mainly buy Wufeng fruit, which is delicious.

A small station on the old Chengdu-Chongqing railway line, it is close to the river and the mountains. The railway line passes through the town. The town is surrounded by mountains named after Phoenix. In early spring, the five hills where the legendary "Five Phoenixes descended" are all dotted with pink peach blossoms. Looking around, it looks like red clouds floating among the mountains, which is very spectacular.

The ancient street is also named after Phoenix, and the ancient stage and the Qing Dynasty Guild Hall still remain in the town. The rape flowers and free-range ducks by the Tuojiang River form a landscape painting.

There are two ways to reach Wufeng Town from Chengdu. One is to take the Chengnan Expressway and exit at Baiguo to the ancient town. The other is to go from Luodai via Longquan Wanxing.

The delicacies of Wufeng Town are also not to be missed. The local specialty "Tuojiang silver carp" is spicy and tender, with dried radish, broad beans... We went to the restaurant in the town for dinner, and swallows were flying overhead. There were many bird's nests on the eaves. The children were very excited. It was a very rare scene. We had twice-cooked pork and bean curd rice. The cost for three people was less than 40 yuan. The food was delicious, fresh and delicious. We found a room by the Wufeng River for 60 yuan a night. The price is quite cheap. Isn't it? Before leaving, I also rushed to the market and bought a large bag of vegetables to take home. It's really good. I hope I can go there often if I have the opportunity.

The first time I went there, I felt it was pretty good, the scenery was pretty good, but the public security there was disappointing. The security guards there directed parking but didn't come to collect parking fees. In the end, they scratched a circle of marks on other people's cars with stones. The most hateful thing was that they deliberately scratched the paint on the corners of the cars. Are they crazy about money? Is it so far away that there is no one to manage it? With such quality, why are they still engaged in the tourism industry? They also said that the people in the ancient town are simple and honest. It really makes Chengdu people lose face.

A small ancient town near Chengdu. It takes less than 2 hours to get there from Chengdu. The scenery is nice. It is different from other ancient towns. When you go there in summer, there is not much water and it is still quite hot. I finished visiting this town in half a day. After lunch, my friends immediately started playing mahjong. However, the air conditioning in the rented place was not good. I felt heat stroke after sitting there for half a day. The scenery of this trip is still good, but it is too hot!

By Sanbay |

I have been to Wufengxi before and after the renovation. Comparing the two, it is more convenient for sightseeing after the renovation, but the original ancient flavor is basically gone. I only feel the new ancient town flavor like Luodai and Huanglongxi, which is a pity.

By A_Nemo_KM |

It is just an ordinary leisure and entertainment town. It is OK to sit and play mahjong, chat and drink tea. There is nothing special about it. However, it is quite amazing that there are churches, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in this place. He Lin's former residence is just across the street, you can also go and have a look.

Wufengxi Ancient Town,

It is very old and was once a busy water and land terminal;

Very young too.

Now we are striving to build it into a tourist attraction comparable to Huanglongxi and other ancient towns;



The design of the ancient town is quite unique.

I personally feel that there is a sense of "tranquility leads to far-reaching results";

Antique-style teahouse and red lanterns,

A church with Western characteristics.

A combination of Chinese and Western styles;

The winding stone path,

Hidden among the flowers,

It makes people want to explore the secluded place;

Guan Sheng Temple, Nan Hua Temple,

There is a certain history;

Fresh river food, Teng pepper duck,

It is also a famous dish of Wufeng Creek;

Half of the ancient street of Wufeng Creek has taken shape.

It has begun to take shape and have characteristics.



Wufeng Creek,

It is 60 kilometers away from Chengdu city.

Suitable for weekend trips.

But to become a truly unique ancient town,

Attract more tourists,

The supporting services must keep up.

It has convenient transportation, rich specialties, and complete hardware facilities. It is the hometown of Mr. He Lin, the famous Chinese philosopher known as the "Eastern Hegel".

A newly built "ancient town", called Wufeng because of the five streets named after Feng. Located on the bank of Tuojiang River in the middle section of Longquan Mountain Range. Chengdu-Chongqing Railway passes through the town, with the roar of trains and the sound of mahjong. Temples and halls with various religions coexisting harmoniously. A remodeled and gradually renovated town in central Sichuan. A brand new leisure place, like a large park integrated with residents, with slightly inconvenient transportation.

By Sweet words and honey |

There are not many people on weekdays, not during major holidays. No entrance fee. Convenient transportation, you can get there by car, bus, or tour group. There are restaurants and accommodations in the ancient town, the conditions are right, the price is not cheap, but not outrageous.

By Female Zhaolan |

It seems that we have been to every place in Chengdu, such as Kuanzhai, Jinli, and Luodai, many times. Sometimes, we will feel a little aesthetic fatigue. Wufengxi is a newly developed ancient town. I think it is the right time to go there, especially in the drizzle, which will make you linger.

By Walking among the mountains and rivers |

The most attractive thing about ancient towns in Sichuan is the leisurely and comfortable atmosphere. Eat some snacks, take a few steps, make a cup of scented tea, find a place with or without water, play cards or mahjong, and chat...

By Le Tong |

The so-called 5 Fengxi Ancient Town is mainly composed of 5 roads, some of which still retain some of the original features of the ancient town.

By YZLJ |

On the bank of Tuojiang River. Most of the ancient towns in China are built by water. Today, it is finally built. It feels good. It is not so commercial now. But it lacks the historical atmosphere.
