These days, Rongchang "Lu'e Ge" (Braised Goose Guy) is all the rage on the Internet.
He was also hired by the Rongchang County Government as a Rongchang cultural tourism ambassador.
Rongchang braised goose has also become famous at home and abroad for the first time because of him.
However, there are very few articles about tourism in Rongchang on the Internet.

The Cultural Tourism Officer had the honor of visiting Rongchang once 🏯.
I have a good impression of this city.
Today, I will introduce you to this small city that has gone from obscurity to being popular all over the Internet.

Rongchang is located at the junction of Sichuan and Chongqing and has a long history.
There are many historical sites here, including magnificent churches, original ancient towns, exquisite ancient temples, and vicissitudes of ancient pagodas, as well as various delicacies.
It is especially suitable for holiday trips to avoid traffic jams ‼️.

🚌 How to get there
