This is my third time there. The first two times were shortly after opening and there were so many people I couldn't finish all the rides each time. This time I chose the weekend before May Day holiday and there were very few people. It only took me a little over three hours to complete all the rides. Except for a bit of sun when it was hot, everything else was good. The experience here is really much better now than before.
Mianyang Fantawild is quite fun. All the kids were very happy. They played and didn’t want to leave even in such hot weather. Especially the story of Dayu controlling the flood, which is very popular in summer. Although the clothes and shoes will get wet, it is really fun.

A hundred feet of clear water lies beneath the perilous tower,
and the dark cloud ridge rises above the shores of Mianzhou.
The banners of the Tang dynasty's victory are no longer visible,
but tonight's chants of the water kingdom can still be heard.
As one of the Four Great Towers, a visit is a must!
The historical significance of the Yuewang Tower is great, but it is not well developed. The exhibits on each floor are not very attractive, which may limit the value for money of the visit. I hope that more vivid and rich content can be introduced in the future.

The scenic area is not big. This is where Li Bai lived when he was a child. The building was built during the Qing Dynasty. The original ancient building was destroyed in the war. It is good to ask a tour guide to listen slowly. It takes about an hour and costs 100. There are not many people in the scenic area. It is too hot to go there in summer. The cultural and creative things in the back are a bit expensive. After that, go to Qinglian Town to eat pig intestines
It was a very good cultural tour. I came to Jiangyou again to feel the charm of the poet. I went to the memorial hall in the city before, and this time I came to Qinglian's hometown. It covers a large area and consists of a former residence, a forest of steles, Taibai Tower and other combinations. The tour guide was also very good. She led us to deeply feel Li Bai's life from the professional explanation.

It's fun, there are natural caves, and some are man-made. It is recommended to buy rafting, which is a highlight. It is a good place to take photos and check in, and it is a good place for family fun. Good reviews.
Cave tour + rafting: two experiences, one ticket. Entering the cave, I felt a sense of wonder, often found in remote and dangerous places. It was refreshing, but after rafting, the second half was a bit of a visual fatigue. The second half was mainly uphill, which was a bit demanding. The rafting was gentle, and I hardly got my clothes wet from the back.

The scenery of Mianyang Baishui Lake is breathtaking. It is like a dream in the morning mist and golden in the sunset. The island is lush with green trees and colorful flowers. Take a small boat and shuttle between the small islands in the lake, as if you are swimming in a painting. The fun kayaking allows you to get close to the lake and have endless fun.
Baishui Lake has beautiful scenery, clear water and pleasant surrounding environment. It is a good place for leisure and vacation. The facilities are complete and the service is thoughtful. It makes people linger and forget to leave. I highly recommend it to everyone!

I took my kids to participate in the hiking medal. We climbed from 11 am to 5 pm. The overall difficulty was higher than that of Wawu Mountain, especially the ladder, which made my legs numb. The scenery was beautiful, especially the magnolia flowers. The only complaint was that it took half a day to get the cable car down the mountain, and the price was very expensive.
Overall it was good. There weren't many people going there during the Qingming Festival. The flowers were at the end of their blooming period, but they were still very beautiful. It was afternoon when we arrived, so we didn't have time to go to the Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area nearby. We only visited the Flower Valley. It might take a day or two to visit Jiuhuang Mountain.

The scenery is stunning! It's worthy of Li Bai's description of "woodcutters and tillers, entering and exiting a painting."
We were slow to descend the mountain and almost missed the cable car. The staff, who had finished their shift, were still waiting for us, and only turned off the cable car after we got off!
Although the mountain isn't high, I still recommend taking the cable car up and down if you're bringing children.
The slide is under renovation and can't be used. I heard it should be open during the National Day holiday.
We booked a ride on the "Tianfu Tour" app. It departed from the Baden Hotel in downtown Jiangyou and took about half an hour to the scenic area's ticket office, from where we walked up to the visitor center. The cable car took us halfway up the mountain, and then we just followed the trail. The shaded areas were cool, and the scenery was relatively quiet, so those who enjoy taking photos could enjoy the scenery while they watched. However, with my five-year-old daughter in tow, we were rushed the entire time, leaving us with limited time to enjoy the scenery. We missed the 11:30 pm iron rope show, so we leisurely waited on the mountain until the 1:30 pm show. The main point was, "Since I'm already here."

The Suzhou Baoen Temple, which I checked in last year, is very distinctive. The yellow walls of this temple are very atmospheric. Now there are many automatic beverage vending machines. The incense is strong. The huge Maitreya Buddha at the entrance makes people smile. In general, it is a place with a very Chinese style, suitable for taking photos and checking in.
It is a very shocking cultural treasure, with an ingeniously constructed pagoda, exquisite murals and sculptures. It is also the filming location for Black Monkey King. During the National Day holiday, there are check-in passes. It is both entertaining and educational, and the children had a lot of fun.

If you travel to Mianyang, Sichuan, you must go to Shengshui Temple, which is a Buddhist holy place surrounded by mountains and rivers by the Fu River. It is a good place for tourists to watch, burn incense and rest. This temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and is now more than 1,300 years old. In addition to the magnificent halls such as the Mahavira Hall, the Jade Buddha Hall, and the Three Saints Hall, the "Auspicious Gate" sculpture art gallery built by the temple in 2005 is particularly magnificent and beautiful. People come here to visit, take pictures and linger. This is the filming location of Journey to the West in the past, full of infinite reverie.
Architecture and Landscape
- Architectural Style: The architectural style of Shengshui Temple is simple and solemn, with the grand and exquisite style of the Han temples of Northern Buddhism, and at the same time it integrates the elegant and fresh characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. The red walls, green tiles, flying eaves and corners are particularly solemn and majestic under the sunshine. The glazed tiles, gilded eaves, carved beams and painted buildings in the temple are exquisitely crafted, showing a very high artistic level.
- Natural Landscape: The temple is surrounded by green trees and the environment is quiet. There are also some small ponds in the temple. Koi swim in the water, adding a lot of vitality to the entire temple. Walking on the paths in the temple, it feels like being in a quiet paradise, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.
- Sculpture Art: The "Auspicious Gate" Sculpture Art Gallery in the temple is a highlight. It is 200 meters long and was created by Sichuan folk artist Li Nengsheng. The long corridor is built on the mountain. It is a complex of Buddhist culture and auspicious culture, creating the Buddhist holy land of the Eastern Glass World and the Western Paradise. The sculptures of Jigong, various Bodhisattvas, Venerables, and Bodhidharma are lifelike, vividly presenting the profound cultural connotation of Chinese Buddhism to the world.
Culture and Activities
- Religious Culture: As a key temple in Sichuan Province, Shengshui Temple is a Buddhist place for spreading the Dharma and saving all living beings, with a profound religious and cultural heritage. There are many Bodhisattvas and Buddha statues enshrined in the temple, each of which is solemn and solemn, making people feel the sacredness and solemnity of Buddhism. Here, you can participate in religious activities such as blessing ceremonies to pray for peace and success for yourself and your family.
- Folk Activities: On some special festivals, such as the Dragon Head-raising Day on February 2, Shengshui Temple will hold a variety of folk activities, such as dragon dance performances, which attract many tourists to watch, and the festive atmosphere is very strong.
- Charity activities: Shengshui Temple also often holds some charity donation activities, free clinics, etc., which reflects the compassionate spirit and social responsibility of Buddhism.
Services and facilities
- Catering services: There is a vegetarian restaurant in the temple, which provides a variety of delicious vegetarian food at an affordable price and tastes very good. It costs 15 yuan per person, which can meet the dining needs of tourists.
- Parking facilities: Some tourists reported that the parking experience was not good before, but now there are new parking lots around Neijiang Shengshui Temple, and there are also many parking spaces at the foot of the mountain of Mianyang Shengshui Temple, so the parking problem has been greatly improved.
- Other facilities: There are also cafes and Dharma distribution centers in the temple, which are convenient for tourists to rest and buy souvenirs. In addition, the temple’s signboards are clear and the instructions are clear, so tourists can easily find various attractions.
Play suggestions
- Time arrangement: It is recommended to set off early in the morning to avoid the peak tourist season, so that you can better appreciate the beauty of the temple and feel the atmosphere of Buddhist culture more quietly. You can play in the temple for about half a day, have lunch at the vegetarian restaurant at noon, and then go to the surrounding attractions in the afternoon, such as Luohan Temple.
- Dress: Since you are visiting a temple, it is recommended to dress appropriately and avoid wearing overly revealing or brightly colored clothing. At the same time, it is best to wear comfortable shoes for easy walking in the temple.

Nice hot springs, the ticket price is not expensive, and there are many types of hot springs. Not many people take hot spring baths, which is equivalent to a private hot spring. After soaking for two hours, I feel warm all over. After soaking, you can stay directly in the hotel.
The hot spring water is good and the scenery is beautiful. There are also many hot spring pools with various temperatures. You can choose the temperature that suits you. My baby likes it very much and often asks to take a hot spring bath. After taking a hot spring bath, you can also play nearby and eat roasted duck. It is recommended.
