Built in the Tang Dynasty, damaged by several fires, and rebuilt in the sixth year of the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Huaguang Building is the landmark of the ancient city in Langzhong. The wooden structure of the Huaguang Building has steep stairs with room for only one person to pass at a time. The stairs squeak as you climb. The view from the top of the building is fantastic, extending to the ancient city. Looking afar, you can see tile houses in front of you and stone roads intertwined with each other.Langzhong · 3.4 km from downtown

The Jinping Mountain Scenic Area is in the south suburbs of Langzhong City. The stone wall faces the river. The left side is flat and the right protrudes. Its concave is in the middle, like a saddle, so it is also called Ma'an Mountain or Bao'an Mountain. Every spring day, peaches and pears blossom all over the mountain, so people also call it Flower Mountain. The scenery of Jinping Mountain is so fascinating that many pavilions were built there throughout the ages, including Du Fu Ancestral Hall and Langfeng Pavilion. At the beginning of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sicong, the magistrate of Baoning rebuilt Jinping Academy. Taoist Pavilion used to store the classics, and the Three Sages Ancestral Hall is for worshipping the Confucian scholar Zhu Xi.

For a family-friendly itinerary combined with educational purposes, I recommend entering directly from the West Gate and proceeding to Zhang Fei Temple, Zhongtian Tower, and the Imperial Examination Hall. The time is limited. I joined a guided tour for both Zhang Fei Temple and the Imperial Examination Hall, and it was very rewarding.

It's definitely worth a visit. The all-inclusive ticket is quite cost-effective, and you can easily spend several days there. The commercial model of the ancient town is acceptable. There are many local residents who can experience their way of life, and there are many must-see attractions.

The art performances with Langzhong's history and culture complement the beautiful night view of Jialing River. While enjoying the scenery, the supporting special performances complement each other, which is a feast for the body and mind and a visual feast. It is worth participating.

Zhongtian Tower, also known as the Four-row Tower, is one of the twelve towers in Langyuan. It is the Feng Shui coordinate of the ancient city of Langzhong and is known as the "No. 1 Feng Shui Tower in Langzhong". It is located in the center of the ancient city, and the ancient city spreads around it. Compared with Huaguang Tower, it is more magnificent and exquisite. There are many exquisite carvings on its roof and wooden beams. The whole building looks more delicate and more simple.

A must-visit place for checking in at Langzhong Ancient Town. You can go up to the building to overlook the whole town. The stairs inside Huaguang Tower are about 75 degrees, so you need to hold them with both hands and not play with your phone. When we went there, an 86-year-old man insisted on climbing to the top without his family, and the staff escorted him all the way up. Thumbs up for the people of Langzhong

It is a good idea to come here to learn about Zhu De's life and deeds! Come to the National Defense Science Park to experience the progress of China's national defense force! Falling behind will lead to being beaten. Thank our great motherland for creating an infinitely good living environment for us!

Jinping Mountain is truly a scenic vantage point for Langzhong, a veritable fairyland. The Jialing River gently bends here, cradling Jinping Mountain across the ancient city, creating a superb location: "one side embraced by the river, three sides surrounded by mountains." Like a natural frame, it firmly holds the thousand-year-old splendor of Langzhong Ancient City, offering the best vantage point to overlook this earthly paradise. Standing atop the mountain, a gentle breeze whispers in your ear, and breathtaking scenery unfolds before your eyes: layers upon layers of green-tiled roofs, like frozen waves surging towards the sky. The ancient city's streets and alleys meander like veins, concealing the majesty of the Zhang Fei Temple and the scholarly atmosphere of the Imperial Examination Hall. The Jialing River's shimmering waters reflect the ancient city's image, shattering it in the rippling light. By day, cooking smoke mingles with the clouds, the vibrant atmosphere of the ancient city almost palpable; at dusk, lanterns light up one after another, light and shadow flowing on the river, as if time itself slows down, leaving only a sense of tranquility and bliss.

There are many attractions to visit in Langzhong Ancient City, and the one-ticket pass is cost-effective, especially the Gongyuan and Chuanbei Daoshu, which are very large and can increase your knowledge.

清晨,我们驱车抵达山脚下,抬头仰望,凌云峰巍峨耸立,云雾缭绕,仿佛直插云霄。山间传来阵阵鸟鸣,清脆悦耳,为这趟旅程增添了几分灵动。沿着山间小道向上攀登,空气中弥漫着泥土和青草的芬芳。山路两旁,野花盛开,五彩斑斓,蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞。偶尔还能看到几只小松鼠在树梢间跳跃,活泼可爱。越往上走,山路越陡峭,但景色也越来越美。半山腰有一片竹林,竹子青翠挺拔,微风拂过,竹叶沙沙作响,仿佛在演奏一曲自然的乐章。穿过竹林,眼前豁然开朗,一片开阔的山谷映入眼帘,山谷中绿草如茵,野花点缀其间,宛如一幅美丽的画卷。经过一番努力,我们终于登上了山顶。站在山顶,极目远眺,四周群山环绕,云海翻腾,仿佛置身于仙境之中。远处的村庄若隐若现,宛如世外桃源。山顶有一座小亭,我们在亭中稍作休息,感受着山风的清凉,心中满是惬意。凌云峰的美,不仅在于它的山清水秀,更在于攀登过程中的那份坚持与收获。这次旅行让我感受到了大自然的魅力,也让我明白,只要努力,就能收获最美的风景。
