For a person who loves to travel, Jiuzhaigou must be a must-visit place on the list of life. I had also been to Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan with a group before, but I didn't have a deeper understanding, and I just punched some cards. This time, it was his own free travel back to Jiuzhai. Instead of revisiting the old place, I chose a new journey.

Changhai, Wucai Pond, Wuhua Sea, Rhino Sea, Nuorilang Waterfall and other scenic spots are all places worth visiting in Jiuzhaigou. However, I arranged the highlight of this trip in the Songcheng tourist area on the edge of Jiuzhaigou.

Jiuzhai Songcheng Tibetan and Qiang Ancient City is adjacent to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, the geographical location and environment are quite superior, it is a large theme park in Jiuzhai created by the first branch of Chinese performing arts - "Songcheng Performing Arts", and there is also a large-scale 5D real-life song and dance performance "Jiuzhai Eternal Love" at night, which can be regarded as a well-known brand effect, so it still has a certain attraction for me.

After checking the ticket and entering the ancient city, we walked around the guide map casually.

To sum up, the scenic spots in the park are: the statue of the goddess of the color, the prayer wheel, the thangka valley, the tea horse station, the Ma Bang Square, the bar street, the holy water street, the Thousand Buddha Cave, the Tibetan market and the Tibetan watchtower, etc., there is an original Tibetan and Qiang style everywhere, so the Song City here is more exotic than the Song City in Hangzhou.

There

are also various actors dressed in special costumes performing and interacting on the antique streets, which gives people a real sense of travel.

When the park opens in the afternoon, there are also snowy Tibetan song singing, panda pop-up show performances, Sichuan opera face changes, and you can see the "Tumbler" lady series that exploded a while ago, etc. The activities can be described as diverse and colorful.

The "giant pandas" spun and jumped hard, their clumsy and clumsy appearance looked very naïve, and they turned everyone upside down, and everyone rushed to take a group photo. But the weather is quite hot, and I feel a little sorry for these staff in panda suits, everyone is very dedicated and cute.

There are two Tibetan watchtowers in the scenic area, between which there is a "concentric bridge" connected, and the colorful prayer flags on the bridge fly in the wind, and because it connects the two watchtowers, So some people laughed and called it "Magpie Bridge". We can climb the "Magpie Bridge" to overlook the panoramic view and have a panoramic view of the scenery of Jiuzhaigou.

However, it is a bit swaying, and people who are afraid of heights are still a little afraid.

After coming down, we saw a martial arts marriage competition. The scene is particularly exquisite and realistic, this is a sitcom of the chieftain recruiting son-in-law, in fact, in Song City, there are many programs performed every day.

These girls and guys from Songcheng performing arts wore old Chinese costumes and showed the wonderful process of marrying daughters and sons-in-law of ethnic minority aristocrats in the feudal period through professional performances! This kind of performance allows tourists to learn about the history and culture of the Tibetan and Qiang people while having fun and relaxing.

The

characteristic prayer flags, white pagodas and prayer wheels in the scenic area.

This noble goddess of lust is also very eye-catching, and there is also such a beautiful legend

circulating on her

Legend has it that the goddess Sema turned out to be a fairy in the sky, because she envied the beauty and love of the world, she and her sisters secretly came to the world and met the brave and tough and other Tibetan youths. Young men and women are attracted to each other, causing the fairies to refuse to return to heaven. The heavenly court was furious, and the lightning and thunder roared loudly, turning Mama Se and into two snow-capped mountains, the fairies into Haizi, and the Tibetan guys into nine Tibetan villages.Later, local Tibetan compatriots worshipped Se Ma as the goddess of the snow-capped mountains and as the male god of the snow-capped mountains.......



continued to shop, and encountered flash mobs of ancient and modern characters, Tibetan and Qiang songs and dances, Tibetan operas, folk stunts and other performances in Mabang Square, which emerged one after another and were overwhelmed.

The

eternal love performance is at night, usually about 3 times a day, 18:30, 19:50, 21:10, the performance time lasts about an hour, If it is Golden Week, there may be more than 3 games.

The whole eternal love performance is divided into five acts - "The Legend of Jiuzhai", "Ancient Qiang War Song", "Han-Tibet Peace", "Great Love Without Bounds", and "Heaven and Earth Auspicious". 300 actors, 360-degree panoramic performance, beautiful Tibetan and Qiang dance and high-tech 5D real scene are perfectly integrated, and the strength stages a vast visual feast!

The first scene of Jiuzhai Legend, through the performance, tells the audience the popular legends of Jiuzhaigou, including the origin and cultural inheritance of Jiuzhaigou.

The second ancient Qiang battle song tells the story of an ancient and brave people, the Qiang people, who finally formed their own unique national spirit in long-term migration and conquest. Those who vow to defend the nation to the death, the national spirit dissolved in the blood, is particularly moving under their interpretation.

The third scene of the Sino-Tibetan marriage, the estranged story of the marriage of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo was once again put on the stage. In 641 AD, Princess Wencheng was ordered by her father, Emperor Tang Taizong, to go to Tibet to make peace.The team that accompanied Princess Wencheng into Tibet was as many as hundreds of people, including experts and scholars in architecture, medicine, farming, and textiles of the Tang Dynasty. Princess Wencheng spread the culture of the Han people to Tibet, promoted the local economic and social development, created peace and prosperity in the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and wrote a far-reaching page in the history of Tang Tibet. This should be said to be the most influential peace in Chinese history, because of its great significance, this ancient story is still widely praised today.

The fourth scene, Love Without Borders, is the play closest to us and the most resonant, which reproduces the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. At 14 o'clock on May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake occurred in Wenchuan. In times of crisis, Fang Xian's great love is boundless, and all parties are united, united, fearless of hardships and dangers, indomitable, and the amazing mobilization ability of the magnificent mountains and rivers shocked the world.

Although we have not experienced it personally, through the performance, it seems that all this is vividly remembered. When I looked at it, my heart was tangled, and my eyes were moist several times. I feel distressed and grateful for everyone's efforts.

Scene 5 Heaven and Earth are auspicious, in the final epilogue, under the fluttering prayer flags, everyone stood up and joined hands, and in their hearts they reverently prayed for their families, themselves, relatives and friends, Strangers from afar made their most sincere blessings, and the scene was magnificent and solemn.



This attraction is one of the key gains of this trip to Jiuzhai. Because the big signboard of Songcheng Performing Arts has been heard of as early as Hangzhou, and now there are four major theme parks in Hangzhou, Lijiang, Sanya and Jiuzhai, and the eternal love as its golden signboard is even more popular and well-deserved!

By the time I came out, it was already dark, and the square was still full of singing and laughter.

Everyone gathered around the bonfire, dancing and swaying together under the guidance of the on-site atmosphere scheduling staff.

This warm and passionate ancient city builds and guards a Tibetan and Qiang dream for us.
