The buildings in the cluster were designed by renowned architects, and admiring these diverse architectural styles is a delight in itself. Museum Cluster Jianchuan not only gathers over 20 small museums in one area but also features commercial facilities such as hotels, teahouses, and antique shops within the museum complex. An artificial lake in the northern part further enhances the site's resemblance to a large leisure park. The renowned anti-Japanese war series in the museum area consists of five exhibition halls and three squares. Each hall displays the hardships of the war years through precious historical materials, artifacts, photos, and scene reconstructions. Among them, the mainstay hall, with its orange-red cubic exterior, is also the first stop for visitors. The folk culture series consists of six exhibition halls. Each hall houses a diverse collection of folk artifacts from western Sichuan and across the country, including a wide variety of items such as plaques, embroidered shoes, and foot-binding cloths. The red era series showcases that revolutionary period to modern people through various forms of coupons, Cultural Revolution propaganda posters, and audio-visual products like gramophones and slides. The 5.12 earthquake relief memorial hall is open to the public for free. The slightly oppressive space is filled with collections related to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. With so many pavilions, it is advisable to choose one or two from each series based on your interests.Dayi · 13.1km from downtown

Mount Qingcheng

Mount Qingcheng

8.9
4.6/5
34k reviews
Mount Qingcheng has long been praised as "Tranquil Paradise under Heaven," with its peaks encircling like city walls—hence the name. Legend says Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han dynasty established Taoism here in a thatched hut, making it the ancestral home of Celestial Master Taoism, where temple incense still burns today. The mountain divides into front and back sections: the front features Taoist temples and cultural relics, commonly referred to as "Mount Qingcheng" by most travelers; the back excels in natural landscapes like pools, waterfalls, streams, and gorges, making it ideal for hiking and summer retreats. The highlights of Qianshan are concentrated. Starting from Jianfu Palace beside the mountain gate, follow the ancient stone steps upward past Natural Picture, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave, and Shangqing Palace, with the summit's Laojun Pavilion as the final vantage point. Tianshi Cave, also called Changdao Temple, is one of the mountain's largest Taoist complexes—its front courtyard holds a millennium-old ginkgo tree allegedly planted by Zhang Daoling, while the cliffside Ink-throwing Trough behind is said to be where the celestial master drew mountains with vermilion ink. Painting master Zhang Daqian once resided at Shangqing Palace, styling himself "Guest of Qingcheng." At the mountain's base, Yuecheng Lake's mirror-like waters add ethereal beauty to the lush greenery. The rear mountain entrance is the quaint Tai'an ancient town. From here, the trails connect Wulong gully and Feiquan gully into a loop, with views like Misty spring triple pools, Double spring water curtain cave, and Hundred-zhang long bridge accompanied by the sounds of water and shaded woods. The Longyin gorge walkway built along cliffs overlooks rushing streams below, making it a dedicated hiking route. The mountain stays pleasantly cool even in midsummer. The front mountain and back mountain entrances are not connected, usually requiring separate itineraries. Most 1-day tours choose one of the two. The front mountain's main temples can be visited in half a day, while the back mountain loop is longer and requires reserving most of a day. Travelers wishing to see the sunrise often ascend the mountain a day early, staying overnight at mountain temples for convenient morning viewing.Dujiangyan · 37.2km from Dayi

Kudos to the driver and guide for this trip! They were incredibly helpful and attentive, responded promptly, and made communication about pick-up and drop-off points very smooth. They not only helped with luggage but also offered suggestions for the trip, recommending spots to visit at Ya'nv Lake and providing information on local specialties. They also chose a route to the return trip that avoided traffic. Overall, a great experience! 👍 The itinerary was well-planned, and the hotel was quite clean.

From the perspective of a grand family residence, the architecture and treasures here are well-preserved and worth seeing; from a historical research perspective, the artistry and the complexity of the creative background of the rent collection courtyard complex are also worthy of consideration. In short, it has unique elements and is recommended for a visit.

It's worth the money to see the so-called "big landlord's house" 👲 Learning about the Liu family's ancestral business and rise to wealth was no easy feat in those days; accumulating wealth requires hard work. Looking at the stories of one era from the perspective of another makes it impossible to judge. Today's capitalists and some entrepreneurs also have their own struggles and starting stories. Each has its own characteristics and is a product of its historical stage. The manor's design is exquisite and offers valuable architectural historical reference. The three houses require about 3 hours to see, if you're interested. Including the various attractions in the ancient town, walking is the best option.

This is a fantastic museum cluster with over twenty galleries, each with a different theme. The collections are incredibly rich, allowing you to choose a theme that suits your interests. Jianchuan has put a lot of effort into each of the galleries, and I'm truly impressed. The section on veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japan was particularly moving. I sincerely wish his museum continued success, and I hope that we can all bring our children and families to put down our phones and immerse ourselves in the cultural atmosphere of the museum.

We went there in April. We were lucky that it snowed the night before. The snow on the top of the mountain was very thick, and the scenery was still great. You could see the snow and the mountains in the distance. The view was very good and open. There were also little squirrels jumping around, not afraid of people at all. Don't go during the peak season, otherwise it will be crowded and all your time will be spent queuing. The experience is still good when there are fewer people!

A really nice place, absolutely perfect for escaping the summer heat. Mainly, it's great value for money, the water quality is excellent, and it's very easy to get to, suitable for people of all ages! It will definitely be even more bus-friendly in the summer! The downside is that it might get congested in the summer, as there's a section of one-way street.

Qingcheng Mountain is beautiful, but I really want to complain about the facilities. You can't take the sightseeing bus from the mountain gate; you have to walk a bit further to get there. Also, for the first time, there was a place that wasn't very big, yet they had sightseeing buses, boats, and cable cars—everything was carried by hand—which was quite strange.

There are many small waterfalls, and the entire route is uphill with very few flat paths, so it's quite tiring on your legs. Being in the mountains feels like being in a natural refrigerator – very cool! We even encountered some very bold little squirrels 🐿️, waiting to be fed. This route is not recommended for people with limited physical fitness.
