Discover The 2nd Largest City in Sichuan! 🇨🇳

#cityplaybook

Mainyang City is located north east of Chengdu City which is only 2 hours away from the capital. It has approximately just under 6 million residents. It is the city that was heavily affected by the Sichuan earthquake in 2008.

These are the list of places where you can visit and make your stay worthwhile in the city. In no particular order.

FIRST DAY:
1. Beichuan Earthquake Relic Site- this is a must see while in Mianyang. It is outside the city and it takes around 2 hours to get there by car. If my knowledge serves me right there are busses available to this relic site.
The Beichuan earthquake site is quite big so you may need to spend 1-2 hrs walking around the site.

2. Mianyang’s People Park- after getting back into the city head to the people’s park to just enjoy the local life of the people and so you can relax at the same time. There are some amusement rides as well inside so if you’re coming with your family, your kids will surely enjoy this place.

SECOND DAY:
1. Luohan temple and Shengshui Temple- these two temples are just next to each other so you may find yourself spending a fee hours here just appreciating the buddhist atmosphere here. This is not only a tourist area but an actual place of worship.

All Day 1 and Day 2 Places offer free entrance. All you have to spend on is parking fee.

At 5 pm , start heading back to Chengdu or wherever you’re going next.

Enjoy!
