Things to do in Pingwu

The main purpose of this trip to Mianyang was to see this well-preserved ancient architectural complex. Stepping into Bao'en Temple, I was immediately captivated; I couldn't look away. The dragon carvings, bracket sets, flying eaves, revolving sutra repository, and murals were all so beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no sun when I went, which was a great pity. If there had been sunshine, the murals would have been much clearer.

If the weather is good, the scenery is okay, but there are not many attractions to see, so the time spent there is relatively short. The round trip takes more than two hours, including the time spent on the sightseeing bus and waiting time.

The scenery was beautiful, and there weren't too many people during the National Day holiday. The wait for the bus was about 20 minutes. The main attractions are Ganhaizi and Baishagou, which take about 4-5 hours to walk. It's best to bring your own instant noodles. The supply points offer free hot water and grilled sausages for 10 yuan each, which isn't expensive. It rained on the return trip, and they provided free raincoats. The volunteer service was excellent; a sincere thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻

It is worth a visit. You need to drive by yourself. The road condition is still OK. Some sections are narrow and uneven. Tianmu Lake is very beautiful. You can ride horses in the ancient village scenic area.

The scenic spot is nearly three hours away from Pingwu County. February and March every year are the best time to see the wonders of the icefall. The scenery here is beautiful and the icefall is spectacular. It is highly recommended to visit here.

Tianmu Lake in Pingwu, Mianyang, Sichuan: Located in Wanglang Nature Reserve, Pingwu County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, near Yazhezaozu Village. On the way from Pingwu County to Jiuzhaigou by car, you will pass by Tianmu Lake, which is next to Provincial Highway 205 near Yazhezaozu Village. Climbing up to the observation deck, the lake area is clear at a glance, with blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear water, and beautiful scenery, which is pleasing to the eye.

Because of some unforeseen circumstances, we didn't enter the scenic area until after 2 PM. It was so cold for the Dragon Boat Festival; the wind was howling and it was raining. I hadn't brought a jacket, so I just took a quick look around. I thought it was a riverside boardwalk, but it turned out to be a mountain climb, which was too tiring, so we gave up. We only saw monkeys around the hotel in the scenic area, which was a bit of a disappointment, but the kids had a great time.

This is a tourist attraction featuring Baima ethnic culture. The ancient village residential buildings and rich cultural legends have formed rich and colorful tourism content here, attracting people's attention.

Jiuzhaigou is a fairyland left behind by the heavens on earth. It is so beautiful that it makes you want to cry. The Pearl Shoal Waterfall, the filming location of the 1986 TV series Journey to the West, is even more unforgettable. Its water either cascades down in thousands of strands with a graceful posture that makes people linger, or it gallops like ten thousand horses with a huge momentum that makes people feel awe. "After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you will not see any water again." It is indeed well-deserved!
