川蜀逸韵 | 中国 成都+九寨沟/峨眉山+都江堰 5天4晚游China: Chengdu+Jiuzhaigou/Mount Emei+Dujiangyan 5 Days Tour

Located on the southwestern edge of Shuangliu District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, Huanglongxi Ancient Town boasts a history of over 2,100 years and is considered one of China's famous historical and cultural towns. Located at the confluence of the Luxi River into the Jinjiang River, Huanglongxi Ancient Town has been a key stop on the Jinjiang waterway since the Han Dynasty. Huanglongxi Ancient Town still retains its well-preserved ancient town layout and numerous traditional folk customs. The Huanglongxi Fire Dragon Lantern Dance and the "Fuhe Haozi" (Fuhe Haozi) have been designated as national intangible cultural heritage of China. Visiting this place feels like stepping back in time and experiencing the small town life of yesteryear.

The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Giant Buddha, is located on the rock face of Qixia Peak on Lingyun Mountain, at the confluence of the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu Rivers in Leshan City. Designated a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site, it features a seated Maitreya Buddha statue and is a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty cliff carving. The Leshan Giant Buddha was carved during the Tang Dynasty and completed over 90 years by three generations of craftsmen. Standing approximately 70 meters tall, it is a colossal stone statue of a seated Maitreya Buddha. Marvel at the majestic Leshan Giant Buddha and marvel at the ancients' ability to create such a magnificent statue without the aid of modern tools. The Leshan Giant Buddha has long been a sacred Buddhist site. Before the enormous statue, clasp your hands together and peacefully pray for peace and health for yourself, your family, and your friends.

Baoguo Temple, located not far from the main gate of Mount Emei, was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It serves as the entrance to the mountain and the starting point for most visitors to the Emeishan Scenic Area. The plaque "Baoguo Temple" above the temple gate was inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is also the center of Buddhist activities on the mountain. The main halls include the Maitreya Hall, the Main Hall, the Seven Buddha Hall, and the Samantabhadra Hall, each rising higher than the last. Upon entering the main gate, the first hall is the Maitreya Hall, housing a statue of Maitreya. The second hall is the Main Hall, housing a golden statue of Sakyamuni seated on a lotus. Further up the stone steps is the Seven Buddha Hall, where seven Buddhas are enshrined. Beneath the Seven Buddha Hall stands a fourteen-story copper Huayan Pagoda, built during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. Enshrined within the pagoda are 4,700 small Buddha statues and the complete text of the Avatamsaka Sutra. The final hall is the Samantabhadra Hall, dedicated to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Because Mount Emei is Samantabhadra's sanctuary, he is enshrined in the hall behind.

The Golden Summit is the summit of Mount Emei. The four-faced, ten-direction golden statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva atop it is a must-see for many visitors to Mount Emei. The four-faced, ten-direction golden statue of Samantabhadra is the tallest golden Buddha in the world and the first of its four-faced, ten-direction artistic representations. Behind the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Huazang Temple boasts three main halls. The third hall, the Samantabhadra Hall, also known as the Golden Hall or "Golden Summit," is the tallest hall on Mount Emei. Plaques on the entrance read "Golden Summit," "Endless Vows," and "Grand Dignity of Huazang." Inside, a bronze statue of Samantabhadra riding an elephant is enshrined. When viewing the sea of clouds from the Golden Summit of Emei, white clouds slowly rise from the mountains and valleys. Suddenly, a vast sea of clouds, like a snow-white velvet blanket, stretches out across the horizon, smooth, thick, and boundless, as if resting in deep sleep. Sometimes, clouds appear on the horizon and in the sky, and standing between them creates a sense of ethereal ecstasy.

The Dujiangyan Irrigation System, located on the main stream of the Minjiang River west of Dujiangyan City, was built around 256 BC by Li Bing, the prefect of Shu Commandery during the Qin Dynasty, and his son. It is one of the most well-preserved ancient water conservancy projects in China. The project consists of three main components: the Yuzui Diversion Dike, the Feishayan Spillway, and the Baopingkou Water Diversion Inlet, along with ancillary works such as the Baizhang Dike and the Renzi Dike. These divert water from the turbulent Minjiang River into the Outer River and the Inner River, allowing floodwaters to be drained from the Outer River and diverted for irrigation, transforming the western Sichuan plain into a "land of abundance." "Yuzui" is the Dujiangyan water diversion project, named for its fish[1]like shape. Located in the center of the Minjiang River, it divides the river into two. The western side, known as the Outer River, commonly known as the "Golden Horse River," is the main stream of the Minjiang River and primarily used for flood drainage. The eastern side, known as the Inner River, is an artificial water diversion conduit for irrigation. The Feishayan diversion works primarily to allow excess water to overflow from the Feishayan dike when the Inner River exceeds the Baopingkou flow limit. In the event of a major flood, the dike can also breach, allowing a large amount of water to return to the main Minjiang River. While seemingly unassuming, it bears the heavy responsibility of preventing floods and serves as a protective barrier for Yuzui and Baopingkou. Baopingkou, serving as a "regulating sluice," is a gap carved into the long ridge of the Qianshan Mountains (now known as Guankou Mountain and Yulei Mountain) that extends into the Minjiang River. It's named for its bottle-mouth-like shape. The hill to the right of Baopingkou, separated from the main mountain, is named Lidui. Before the construction of Baopingkou, Lidui was part of Hutouyan Rock on Xianshan Mountain. Due to its magnificent natural scenery, Baopingkou is known as "Lidui Locking the Gorge" and is one of the historically renowned "Ten Scenic Spots of Guanyang." Its greatest strength lies in its enduring success over 2,250 years after its construction, and its continued effectiveness continues to grow.

Also known as the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum, it is located on the banks of Huanhua Creek outside the west gate of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is the former residence of Du Fu, the great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, during his stay in Chengdu.

The base is home to many adorable giant pandas, allowing you to get up close and personal with these beloved national treasures. Located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, approximately 10 kilometers from the city center, the base is designed to fully simulate the pandas' natural habitat, featuring lakes, streams, bamboo forests, and lawns. The base also features numerous "Panda Villas," enclosed recreational areas for the pandas. These villas feature both open[1]air gardens and indoor rest areas. In cool weather, the pandas play in the gardens, allowing visitors to admire the adorable creatures through railings. In hot weather, the pandas retreat to the air-conditioned rest areas, requiring only viewing through glass.

Located in Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Huanglong Scenic Area covers an area of 700 square kilometers. It is China's only well-preserved plateau wetland, known as a "wonder of the world" and "a fairyland on earth." It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1992. Huanglong Scenic Area is renowned for its "Four Wonders"—colorful pools, snow-capped mountains, canyons, and forests. Together with rapids, ancient temples, and folk customs, it is known as the "Seven Wonders." The scenic area comprises Huanglong Valley, Danyun Gorge, Muni Valley, Xuebaoding, Xueshan Ridge, Hongxing Rock, and Xigou. The main attraction is Huanglong Valley, approximately 3.6 kilometers long, with terraced travertine deposits. The area is also home to many endangered species, including giant pandas and Sichuan golden monkeys.

Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area is located in Jiuzhaigou County (formerly Nanping County), Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, in northern Sichuan Province, China. The area is named after the nine Tibetan villages within the valley: Shuzheng, Heye, Zechawa, Panxin, Heiguo, Panyazhu, Guwa, Pengbu, and Jianpan. The Jiuzhaigou River system flows through the Baihe River, Baishui River, and Jialing River before merging into the Yangtze River. Jiuzhaigou is a World Natural Heritage Site, a National Key Scenic Area, a National 5A Tourist Attraction, a National Nature Reserve, a National Geopark, and a member of the World Biosphere Reserve Network. It is also China's first nature reserve primarily dedicated to the preservation of natural scenery. Jiuzhaigou is renowned both in China and abroad, with Easterners calling it a "paradise on earth" and Westerners hailing it as a "fairy tale world."
