Two-Day Trip to Langzhong

Two-Day Trip to Langzhong
🚄Transportation:
1. From Xi'an North Station to Langzhong Station, high-speed train takes about 3 hours, ¥191.5 per person.
2. Take a taxi to the city center, 🌃¥11.

🏨Accommodation:
【Langzhong Jinyuan Zhangfei International Hotel】
The best local hotel with stunning garden landscapes and oversized koi fish you can feed. Each building features unique scenery, making every step a visual delight!

🚶Itinerary:
**DAY 1: 【Langzhong Ancient Town】**
Stroll through the ancient town: Zhongtian Tower – Zhangfei Temple – Confucian Temple – Huaguang Tower. Bought a 🎫¥15 ticket to climb Huaguang Tower for a panoramic view of the ancient town and Jialing River.

**DAY 2**
【Baita Mountain Park】
Take a taxi directly to the mountaintop for a bird's-eye view of Langzhong. The White Pagoda, Zhuangyuan Cave, and Dafo Temple are all along the same route.

【Nanjiang Pass Ancient Town】
A ferry port from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Personally, it’s not worth a visit—just a super condensed street that takes 10 minutes to explore, though the entrance is photogenic 📸.

【Baoning Vinegar Museum】
China’s first museum dedicated to vinegar culture. It showcases millennia of vinegar history, including ancient brewing tools, literature, and traditional techniques, with a focus on the national intangible cultural heritage "Yaoqu Bran Vinegar" brewing method, highlighting its medicinal fermentation. Visitors can also observe modern production lines up close, experiencing the Sichuan vinegar culture rooted in "medicine and vinegar sharing the same origin."

【Jinping Mountain Park】
A free spot for panoramic views of Langzhong. The scenery here is breathtaking—had I known, I wouldn’t have paid to climb Huaguang Tower!

**Food 🥘**
【Chen Tihua】
A famous local restaurant, always packed. The braised pork trotters are tender and fall off the bone. Other dishes are also excellent—highly recommended!!!

【Huaguang Inn Private Kitchen】
Great location right below Huaguang Tower. The food is delicious—kids loved the chive-flower fish (unique flavor, super tender), while my favorite was the tofu with beef, where the tofu absorbed the beef’s aroma rather than just seasoning. *Langyuan Three Delicacies* was an acquired taste. Overall rating: 4.8.

【Others】
Lovesick Tofu Pudding 5.0
Zhangfei Beef Noodles 🍜 4.0 (random shop, possibly inauthentic—not my preference)
Crab Roe Buns (rich crab flavor) 5.0
Dessert Shop (huge portions, average taste) 4.5
Jingzhou Crispy Pancake (fragrant and crispy) 5.0

Langzhong, a cozy little city along the Jialing River—I’ll definitely visit again!
