The surrounding transportation is convenient and the environment is very good. I went there with friends on the weekend. The ticket price is not very expensive and the cost performance is relatively high. Overall, I had a lot of fun. It is very good. As the hometown of ancient Chinese archways, it can also let us learn more about history.

The beauty of Yunding Village is one of simplicity and elegance. Free from the commercial atmosphere of modern scenic spots, it offers a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Here, you can slow down, savor every scene, experience the unique charm of the ancient village, and completely relax your body and mind.

Lovely day out & such a fantastic experience. We li ed seeing the pandas!

Is a huge place to walk and the view is good like the temples, need to do good time planning and bring some food like biscuits, bread due to there is not much food to sell

This sightseeing bus is a nightmare – your legs will hurt if you don't buy a ticket, but your heart will aches if you do. It's only a five-minute ride? Ten yuan per person for half a trip, same price for adults and children. Qingcheng Mountain has beautiful scenery, but it's far too commercialized.

The park is huge; I got completely lost inside. The scenery is beautiful, and the facilities are quite complete. If you don't have a good sense of direction, it's easy to get lost. It's located in the city center, so transportation is very convenient, and there are plenty of places to eat near the entrance. It's just a bit of a leg workout. There's a really delicious beef noodle shop near the entrance.

It is a very rare visit. Never been to something like this before, recommend to visit if you have a chance.

The Zigong Lantern Festival truly lives up to its reputation as a World Cultural Heritage site. The lanterns are large, magnificent, and incredibly beautiful, with vibrant and diverse colors.
