Jiangnan Water Town just one hour by high-speed train from Chongqing

Only 1 hour from Chongqing! There's a "Little Jiangnan" hidden in southern Sichuan, and weekends are going crazy here🚄

Who understands, family! After the high-speed rail from Chongqing to Yibin opened, I just flash over for the weekend! The fastest trip takes only 49 minutes, faster than my commute, lying down playing on my phone and I'm already at the destination~😆

Just search for Lizhuang Ancient Town on navigation! It's right in Cuiping District, Yibin, and free admission—who doesn't love that!💰 Zero ticket price to get Jiangnan-style beautiful scenery, my friends on social media kept asking if I went to Suzhou or Hangzhou, hilarious, this is actually the "First Ancient Town on the Yangtze River" in southern Sichuan, even featured in the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!📸

As soon as you enter the ancient town, you're amazed! The bluestone roads creak underfoot, Ming and Qing dynasty buildings line the Yangtze River, streets and bridges connect the river, green water surrounds the blue bricks, and the breeze carries the scent of everyday life mixed with water vapor~🌊 During the day, walk to Dongyue Temple → Zhang Family Ancestral Hall → Yang Street → Huiguang Temple → Kuixing Pavilion, every step tastes like old times, every photo looks like an ancient painting!

Be sure to wait for the sunset in the evening! That day I caught the sunset shining on the river, sparkling waves, and I felt so warm inside~🌇 When night falls, don’t rush to leave, the Moon Field Scenic Area lights up promptly at 8:30!

Moon Field is the hidden gem! Two crescent-shaped islands connected by a corridor bridge, after the ancient-style buildings light up, it’s like a real-life "Spirited Away"!✨ Walk through the 2020 Theater → Shiqiao Ferry → Yingyue Alley → Cultural Society, passing by Lianglin’s old residence, you can feel the cultural atmosphere, and finally sit for a while at Yanyu Bookstore, half poetic, half everyday life, so healing~

Parking is super convenient, just park at the Moon Field parking lot right at the scenic area entrance, self-driving travelers can come with peace of mind!🚗

Don’t miss Yibin city either! The whole street smells of spicy noodles that make you stomp your feet, noodles coated in red oil, one bite and your soul is gone~🍜 Then drink a bowl of fresh mushroom soup that will blow your mind, totally showing off!

"Once you enter Lizhuang, your eyes are full of Jiangnan" is no exaggeration! Quiet and rustic by day, ethereal and magical by night, two days and one night is simply not enough to play~ For those in Chongqing wanting to escape the city on the weekend, trust me, just rush to Yibin! Absolutely no regrets!💨
