💥Travel Tips:
🌟It might be a somewhat commercialized ancient village, but because of this, food, drinks, and accommodations are very convenient, with a wide range of meals and snacks available, and many hotels to choose from nearby the scenic area.
🌟There is a Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing) museum in the scenic area, and dressing up for photos will enhance the experience.
🌟There are also flash performances at different times in the scenic area, such as Sichuan opera face-changing, bamboo pole dance, and lion dance, all of which are free to watch.
🌟During the day, you can eat, drink, and stroll around, and at night, enjoy the night view, which is really relaxing.
❣️It was raining a bit when we went, which initially dampened our spirits, but in the end, we found that the photos taken had an extra sense of clarity, which was an unexpected gain. The only regret was not seeing the bonfire because of the rain.
Overall, escaping the city and relaxing for a one-day trip is quite nice. It is said that they might start charging for admission in the future, so hurry up and go!
