Today I will share my one-day tour guide
Take you to experience Zigong's Xianshi Ancient Town, Shenhai Well, and Zigong Dinosaur Museum
In the evening, go to Zigong China Lantern World to watch the Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival!
The whole trip was chartered by car. The local driver not only had great driving skills, but also loved his hometown very much. He introduced us to delicious food and fun places along the way. It was really easy to go out and have a great time!

🏞️ First stop: Xianshi Ancient Town
As soon as you step into Xianshi Ancient Town, it feels like you have traveled through time and space. The bluestone roads, quaint shops and houses tell the story of the prosperity and vicissitudes of the ancient town. As you stroll through the temples, you can see ancient temples such as Nanhua Palace and Tianshang Palace standing majestically. They have different architectural styles and carry rich religious culture and historical stories. Don’t forget to try the roasted pork elbow, fish-flavored shredded pork and wind-dried bacon here. Every bite is the old taste in memory.

🛢️ Second stop: Shenhai Well
Leaving the ancient town, we headed to Shenhai Well. This place is not only a microcosm of Zigong's salt industry, but also a good place to understand Zigong's salt culture. Shenhai Well is still producing well salt. You can see the traditional salt-making process and feel the craftsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years.

🦕 Third stop: Zigong Dinosaur Museum
In the afternoon, we came to the Zigong Dinosaur Museum. This place is known as the "Eastern Dragon Palace" and is one of the three largest dinosaur site museums in the world. The museum houses a large number of dinosaur fossils, making you feel as if you are in a prehistoric world. The Zigong Dinosaur Museum has a score of 4.5 points and is definitely worth a visit

🌃 Fourth stop: Zigong China Lantern World
In the evening, we came to Zigong China Lantern World. The Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival is being held here, with bright lights and magnificent scenery. The various dinosaur-themed lanterns have unique shapes and are a feast for the eyes. Walking in the world of colorful lights, it feels like being in a fairytale fantasy kingdom~

💡 Ctrip chartered car tour experience
For this trip to Zigong, I chose 🐬 chartered car tour, which is really convenient! From itinerary planning to attraction explanations to pick-up and drop-off services, the entire process is worry-free. The driver was very professional and knew Zigong's history and culture like the back of his hand. I learned a lot from listening to him talk along the way. Moreover, chartered tours are highly flexible, you can go wherever you want, without having to worry about not having enough time~
