Calling all those heading to Luxian! Check out this guide! (One-day trip edition) || This guide is recommended for those who are already planning a trip to Luxian and want to explore the area. It's not recommended to make a special trip just for this. 🍃 ✨This time, we're visiting Luxian, a small county in Luzhou. It's an easy day trip there and back. 👌 🥰There's a direct high-speed train 🚄 from Chengdu East Station to Luxian, taking about an hour or so. The entire route is: Chengdu ➡️ Luxian ➡️ Luxian Stone Carving Museum ➡️ Yuchan Mountain ➡️ Longhu Wetland Park ➡️ Chengdu (For transportation within the city, you can take a taxi 🚗, which is affordable and readily available.) 📍Luxian Stone Carving Museum Free, 9:00-17:00, reservation required A niche museum 📖 housing a large collection of exquisite Song Dynasty stone carvings from Luxian. With two floors, ✨it boasts 14,000 artifacts, including 500 precious relics and an impressive 120 first-class relics! A must-see for those interested in stone carving culture and 🐉dragon culture. 🥳 You can also get a commemorative stamp here, so bring a small notebook. 📍Yuchan Mountain Tickets: 20/person, 9:00-17:00 Located near the museum, ⛰️the mountain is not high, and it takes about two hours to walk up and down. It's a relaxing hike. 🚶‍♀️In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are 400 existing Ming Dynasty stone carvings, including classic statues such as the "Thousand-Hand Guanyin" and "Enlightenment Picture." 👍The carvings are incredibly detailed. You can also visit the Yuchan Temple. At the top, there's a pavilion with a second floor offering a panoramic view of the county. 📍Longhu Wetland Park Free This park near the high-speed rail station seems newly built. It's large and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing stroll after a meal. (Luxian also has attractions such as 🐉Longnao Bridge, Qifeng Aqueduct, Qu Family Manor, and Daolin Valley. If you have time, you can choose to visit them.) 🍖Food We recommend a restaurant in Luxian called "Secret Duck Neck." That's the name of the restaurant. The duck neck is delicious! Crispy and fragrant, 🦆unlike the usual soft texture of duck necks. It's a great snack. They usually open at 2:30pm. If you go, be sure to bring some home. Highly recommended! Holiday Travel Guide

Check in at Longnao Bridge This century-old bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. After several repairs, it still stands today. It is the largest existing dragon-carved stone slab bridge in China. The bridge runs from north to south and is 54 meters long. The eight piers are carved with four auspicious beasts: a unicorn, a green master, four dragons, and a white elephant. There is a dragon carved on each of the four middle piers, with the dragon's head and tail on the east and west sides of the bridge. The east side of the middle bridge is engraved with the four characters "dragon hidden Jiao Fu" and a sword, which is quite spectacular. Walking on the bridge, you can see the auspicious beast at the bridge head raising its head and opening its mouth to face the upstream of the river, as if roaring. In fact, this is another function of the bridge: a warning. During the flood season, the water level rises and the current is turbulent. The stone ball in the faucet will be impacted by the flood and rotate, making a sound, which reminds pedestrians crossing the river. One can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. Location: Longnao Bridge, Lu County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province This place has been built into a cultural park, and tourists can enjoy free Visit, but there is nothing to see except the bridge. It is not recommended to come alone.
