陈鸭子饭庄(固驿镇店)

In history, Qionglai has a saying of "one Ping, two Gu, three Jiaguan", that is, Pingle, Guyi, and Jiaguan are the three major towns. Gu is the Guyi Ancient Town to be introduced today. Guyi has a long history of more than a thousand years, and the famous Sichuan Opera was born here. Before I went there, I really had never heard of this niche ancient town in Chengdu, because it is really too niche↓ 🫖Drinking Sanhua in the old teahouse under the old banyan tree: There is an old teahouse by the river in the ancient town. It was originally named Wujia Teahouse. It is said that it has existed since the Qing Dynasty. Just look at the old objects in the teahouse and you will know that it is stable. The teahouse is full of local elderly people. A bowl of Sanhua costs 5 yuan, the most expensive Piaoxue costs 8 yuan, and entertainment costs 10 yuan for an afternoon. Sit under the old banyan tree by the South River and drink a cup of covered tea, blow the river breeze, wash the shells, and get rid of the smell of Ban. It is very leisurely. 📸Check in the century-old original Republican old street: Compared with other ancient towns in Chengdu, there is no commercialization here, and there are almost no tourists. Old streets like Guyi are rare in towns and villages in Chengdu. At present, there are thirteen old streets with original style. There are two main trunks of the old street, one Shanghe Street and one Zheng Street. There are also small streets and alleys connected to Caishi Street, Xin Street, Dajingkan Street, Yushi Street, etc. between the two trunks. Walking through them and walking in front of rows of wooden houses, it seems to have returned to the last century. The entrance of the old street, Shanghe Street, is right next to the front door of the Guyi Old Teahouse. 🎭Famous Sichuan Opera Hometown: This is the birthplace of the Sichuan Opera Saint "Kang Zhilin", who is also the founder of Sichuan Opera "face changing", so Guyi has the reputation of "the hometown of Sichuan Opera". Every year in February of the lunar calendar, Guyi Huanchuntaihui is said to have a history of more than 400 years. Now the "Zhilin Square" in the town has a stage and corridors, and special performances are held from time to time. There is also a place called Taiziba in the old street of the town (Figure 1), which is probably where operas were performed in the past. 🐤Eat the sweet-skinned duck with an ancient flavor: Guyi is most famous for its sweet-skinned duck, which is cooked in a more traditional way. Several old restaurants in the town all taste good. I ate the old duck, which had crispy skin and not dry meat, and no duck smell. It was well prepared. There are also many local snacks in Zhilin Square. 🚗How to get there: ❶Self-driving: Directly navigate to "Guyi Old Teahouse", and the entrance to the old street is next to the front door of the teahouse. ❷Subway + bus/taxi: Take Chengdu Metro Line 10 to Xinping Station. After getting off, take the express bus from Qionglai to Guyi, which is only 4 stops away, or take a taxi. ❸High-speed rail + minibus/taxi: Take the train from Chengdu to Qionglai Station, and there is a minibus to Guyi next to the bus station, or you can take a taxi to go forward. 🥾Nearby things to do: 1.
