Escaping the delicious food of Jinli Ancient Street A street that has escaped the grandeur and openness of Luodai Ancient Town, but has not escaped the misty and ancient flavor of Liujiang Ancient Town Wawu Mountain Wawu Mountain is a famous historical and cultural mountain in China, with a highest altitude of 2830 meters. It was formerly known as Jushan, Shushan, and Laojun Mountain. As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, it was known as one of the "Two Wonders of Sichuan" along with Emei Mountain. It is the place where Taishang Laojun ascended to heaven and the birthplace of Taoism; Su Dongpo once wrote a poem that goes, "In the cold of a tiled house, snow falls after spring; in the lush green of Emei, the rain lingers. For many years, it has been praised by Chinese and foreign tourists as a "world of water, a world of caves, a kingdom of flowers, a cradle of snow, a hometown of clouds, and a museum of flora and fauna" Self driving route Day 1: Day 1: Chengdu Emei Mountain (play time: one and a half days) Day 2: Emei Mountain Leshan Grand Tour (play time: 3 hours) - Chengdu Emei Mountain The highest point of Emei Mountain is Wanding, with an altitude of 3099 meters and a large vertical drop in vegetation. It is known as "one mountain has four seasons, ten miles different days". Meanwhile, Mount Emei is one of the four famous mountains in China and the temple of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. The other three famous mountains are Mount Wutai, Jiuhua Mountain and Putuo Mountain Events on Mount Emei are very frequent and have a profound cultural heritage. Mount Emei Leshan is the only cultural and natural dual heritage site in China, and is a truly cultural and famous mountain worth studying. Mount Emei has four wonders: sunrise, sea of clouds, * light, and holy lamp. When the weather is clear, walking into the mountains will bring you a very suitable Mount Emei Leshan Grand * Leshan Grand *, also known as Lingyun Grand *, is 71 meters high and was excavated during the Tang Dynasty. After three generations of craftsmen and 90 years of construction, it is the largest cliff stone sculpture in China. Like Mount Emei, Mount Leshan has always been a holy land. As you climb up to Lingyun, you can clearly see the top of Mount Leshan's head and the shape of his hair bun. Then, along the nine curved boardwalk on the right side of Mount Leshan, you can descend all the way to the bottom of Mount Leshan and get up close to Mount Leshan However, in addition to up the mountain for a close-up observation of the big *, you can also choose to take a boat to observe the big * from a distance, get a panoramic view, and even see the huge sleeping * landscape. At the entrance of the scenic area, many people will ask if you need a tour guide service. It's very cheap, costing a few tens of yuan per tour guide. It's best not to agree at this time because your tour guide may "mysteriously disappear" when you first climb halfway up the mountain. Therefore, friends who drive there must pay attention Qingcheng Qianshan The palaces on Qingcheng Mountain are closely related to the Taoist culture, mainly dedicated to Taoist masters headed by Taoist founder Zhang Daoling, Tianshi Zhang, and the Supreme Lord Laojun, known as the leader of Taoism, as well as the Donghua Emperor. The most famous scenic spots in Qianshan are Taoist palaces: Jianfu Palace, Shangqing Palace, Laojun Pavilion, Ancestral Hall, Yuanming Palace, Wudong Tian, etc. Every palace has its own profound Taoist culture behind it, and the front mountain is not only the palace's outstanding place, but also the pavilions, streams, and stone bridges on the mountain path, all of which are very charming Sandaoyan Ancient Town Sandaoyan is located in the western part of Pixian County, with an overall antique style architecture that allows for drinking tea, fishing, and swimming.

The cycling gameplay of Sandaoyan is also very exciting, and there are several sightseeing routes that will be marked on the town's tour guide map.
