Live Your Best Lives
Look at the mountains and rivers and see Sichuan, Sichuan is full of "peach blossom springs". A 2.5-hour drive from Sichuan, there is a low-key treasure town with picturesque landscapes, breathtaking "industrial pearls", and evocative food. It is Leshan Qianwei County, an unknown small city at the southwestern end of the Chengdu Plain. Qianwei is a city of mountains and rivers, and it is also a city full of fireworks.
Great beauty Qianwei, the gateway to western Shu. Since ancient times, Qianwei has been known as "Jin Qianwei". Throughout the whole region, Qianwei is extremely rich in tourism resources, with many ancient towns and natural and cultural landscapes all over the territory. There is the ancient town of Luocheng, which is full of fireworks, the Jiayang train, which is famous all over Sichuan, and the beautiful mountains and rivers of Lulu Lake, which is also the "hometown of jasmine in China" and "the hometown of oak in China". Although the beautiful county seat of Qianwei is not as famous as Leshan City, the unique natural scenery and cultural beauty in the territory are fascinating.
Jiayang Train: The world's out-of-print steam train 
When it comes to Qianwei County in Leshan, we have to mention the steam train in Jiayang. In the spring season, the rapeseed flowers in the countryside of Qianwei bloom gorgeously, and on the verdant hilltops, golden rapeseed flower fields compose the poetic spring of Qianwei. This narrow-gauge steam train is the only one in the world that is still in normal operation, and you can feel the simple folk customs and traditional farming culture along the way.
The Jiayang steam train is a product of the first industrial revolution and the only passenger narrow-gauge steam train in the world that is still in operation, which can be called a living fossil of the industrial revolution. Because its gauge is only 76 cm, it is called "inch gauge". When the retro steam train shuttles through the golden sea of rapeseed flowers, it perfectly interprets the scene of "train to spring". In the countryside, a poetic spring is staged.
Get on the train and go to see the splendid spring light in the mountains. Nowadays, with the fame of Jiayang trains, there are countless tourists who come for sightseeing. Therefore, Jiayang Train has also opened the "pet fan" mode. Every small train will be performed in Duanjiawan and Liangshuituo. Each small train, when it travels to Duanjiawan Station, will stay for about 5-8 minutes, and after waiting for all the people on the train to get off, the train will return to the track it has traveled and start performing. With the whistle, the train started, moving slowly along the tracks, the steam on the train was like a cloud floating in the blue sky, when the train crossed the sea of rapeseed flowers, leaving a graceful shadow, like a natural spring scene, beautiful.The second performance venue of the train is in Liangshuituo, the same as the previous one, after waiting for the passengers to get off, the train began to spray steam while walking, when the moist steam met the air of nature, cold and hot, wet and dry, in the blink of an eye, forming a beautiful rainbow, and dissipating with the disappearance of steam, like a dream.
When the industrial fossils of the steam age, passing through the blooming rape fields, the historical wheels of the industrial revolution turn again, blending with thousands of years of farming culture, which is not only a spring scenery , but also a mark of the rebirth of the "modern national industry".
Luocheng Ancient Town: A rare "ship-shaped" ancient town in China
When I first saw the ancient town of Luocheng in Qianwei County, Leshan, there were no exquisite carvings or trendy markets. Stroll through the ancient city of Luocheng, everywhere is full of fireworks in the world, drinking gaiwan tea, shaving, old pipes, selling vegetables...... Perhaps it has been decades since the time outside, but the ancient town of Luocheng has not changed at all.
It is an ancient town in the Ming Dynasty, because the ancient town is overlooked from a high altitude and is like a bow, known as "China's Noah's Ark". Whether it is sunny or rainy, the tea houses on both sides of the ancient town are full of friends, some drinking tea and chatting, some drinking tea and playing cards, these people are all morning, or even a day. The whole ancient town is like staying in the last century. Looking at the scenery in other places, I don't like to see a lot of people, but the scenery of Luocheng Ancient Town is precisely "looking at a lot of people". The famous delicacies in the ancient city are mutton soup, meat glutinous rice balls, and oil dumplings.
If you are tired of those cookie-cutter ancient towns and water towns, and want to stay away from the secular world of rivers and lakes, in the winding paths and alleys, look for a pure place, come to Qianwei Luocheng Ancient Town! The fireworks in the world are the most soothing.

It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, while the existing Confucian Temple building was built by the Qing Dynasty. With a long history and exquisite architecture, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit.
A spring rain shrouded the Qianwei Confucian Temple in a mist, and the washing of the rain made the Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple look particularly clear. Turquoise glazed tiles and wooden dragon-shaped bucket arches are all over the Confucian Temple. Simple and solemn, exquisite stone and wood carvings, breathtaking. The triple eaves archway building of the Dacheng Gate of the Confucian Temple is a unique treasure in the history of ancient architecture in our country, so Chinese and foreign architectural experts are amazed.
Inside the hall of the Confucian Temple, there are also huge and famous trees as pillars to support the Confucian Temple, and there are also some cultural relics and monuments collected locally, such as cash cows, which are of great significance for the study of the local history of Qianwei. Facing the spring rain, wander in the hall of the Qianwei Confucian Temple, watch the spring flowers, listen to the melodious sound of the bells, search for the aesthetics in ancient architectural craftsmanship, and listen to the ancient and modern history of the Confucian Temple. Say goodbye to the noisy bustling city and pursue a moment of tranquility in this remote corner.

With the sound of "woo-woo......, the Jiayang train passed through the forest all the way, taking you back to the last century in a trance. Deep in the mountains of Qianwei, there is a little-known ancient town, that is, Bagou Town.

Under the quiet green mountains, the factories of green bricks and tiles are lined up in an orderly manner around the square. The green doors and windows, the red factory slogans, tell the past of an era.

Continuing along the road in the mine, there will be a particularly interesting experience, that is, taking the "monkey car" that the mine workers once rode on, which can go directly to another exit of the mine. The "monkey car" is a means of transportation for miners to go deep into the mine, because when people sit on it, it is like a monkey hanging on a tree, so it is jokingly called a monkey car by mine workers.
Jiayang Xiaolu Lake Tourist Attraction: Finding the Mystery of the Jurassic World 
It is reported that the lake was not originally a lake, because the Tancan kiln hydropower station crossed the Mabian River, and the water level rose, forming a longitudinal basin. Therefore, today's Qiaolu Lake was formed.
Watching the stream twist and turn, withered vines, ancient trees climbing, the breeze blowing the bamboo waves, and tens of thousands of contiguous oak trees swaying in the wind, as if welcoming guests from afar. Surrounded by mountains, green bamboo, lakes and mountains, and pastoral farmhouses, it is like a charming landscape painting.
