Yibin Two-Day Tour | Lizhuang Ancient Town + Cuiping Mountain, stay at Kaifeng Hotel, healing riverside king bed room🌿
✨A must-visit in southern Sichuan! The white walls and black tiles of Lizhuang Ancient Town combined with the green river view of Cuiping Mountain are simply a match made in heaven~
📍Lizhuang Tourism Resort Area
Address: Lizhuang Town, Cuiping District, Yibin City
Admission: Free
📍Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area
Address: Tiedao Lane, Cuiping District
Opening Hours: 8:00-17:30
🚶♀️Recommended itinerary:
1️⃣ Leisurely walk in Lizhuang Ancient Town
Ming and Qing dynasty old buildings are arranged along the stone slab road in an orderly manner, especially the night view of the Moon Field area, with twinkling lights creating a full atmosphere
📸 Photo tip: Early morning has fewer people and soft light; wearing Hanfu or plain long dresses is very photogenic
2️⃣ Don’t miss the “Three Whites of Lizhuang”
White pork, white liquor, white cake — the authentic three specialties. The chef slices the white pork on site, with knife strokes as thin as paper, a visual feast
3️⃣ Aerial sightseeing of Cuiping Mountain
Take the fully transparent cable car slowly up, capturing the magnificent view of the confluence of three rivers. The mountaintop viewing platform is an excellent spot for panoramic shots of Yibin city
4️⃣ Explore the ancient buildings of Zhenwu Mountain
Hidden among Cuiping Mountain, the Ming dynasty Taoist temple with red walls and green tiles and towering ancient trees makes every shot a tranquil ancient-style masterpiece
🍽 Food highlights:
• Lizhuang white pork: crystal-clear meat, dipped in special sauce, fragrant but not greasy
• Yibin Ranmian (hot spicy noodles): spicy and flavorful, recommended to find old local favorite shops
• Bamboo Sea full bamboo feast: available near Cuiping Mountain, fresh and elegant
🏡 Accommodation experience:
The Kaifeng Hotel by the river where we stayed this time was a pleasant surprise! You can see the Yangtze River and sunset glow right from the room. The front desk staff was warm and attentive, even kindly upgraded our room type~
⚠️ Practical tips:
• The boat tour in Lizhuang offers average views; walking along the riverside trail is more recommended
• Cuiping Mountain cable car closes early, so plan your ascent in advance
• Some restaurants in the ancient town are not authentic old shops; check reviews carefully when choosing

📅 Easy weekend trip, perfect for those who love cultural strolls and natural scenery!
