There are ten famous ancient towns around Chengdu, which have a long history, profound cultural heritage, exquisite architecture, beautiful mountains and rivers, peculiar customs, or prominent geographical location. In short, different towns have different views. Among them, Huanglongxi, Anren, Luodai and Pingle are the four ancient towns most suitable for traveling on the road, and you can deeply appreciate the simple culture and unique tourism resources of western Sichuan.

Huanglongxi Huanglongxi: the top of the top ten thousand-year-old towns: South. It is 42 kilometers away from Chengdu and belongs to Shuangliu County. Highlights: ancient archway, ancient temple, ancient residence, ancient banyan tree and ancient cliff tomb. Huanglongxi is bordered by Fuhe River and Luxi River in the east and Muma Mountain in the north. Its history can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and it is a military fortress of the ancient Shu kingdom. At that time, there were seven temples and three general political departments in the town, and the docks were crowded with business travelers, which was a scene of prosperity.

The ancient archways, temples and dwellings in Huanglongxi are integrated with the ancient banyan trees, ancient cliff tombs and ancient ferries, which are full of western Sichuan flavor and unique charm. Every year from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, Huanglong ancient town will hold various entertainment activities, such as playing with fire dragons, colorful dragons, water dragons and so on. The scene is very lively. Huanglong ancient town still retains the custom of playing night shift every two hours, so foreigners can really feel the quaint folk customs of Huanglong town here. Chengdu Plain is a fan-shaped alluvial plain with high terrain in the northwest and low terrain in the southeast. Minjiang River, Tuojiang River and their tributaries flow from northwest to southeast, and gravity irrigation has been implemented since ancient times. Therefore, irrigated agriculture appeared very early. In the ancient Shu era, this important agricultural economic zone could not only cultivate, but also be self-sufficient. Therefore, its strategic position is very important, and branches and tribes of the ancient Shu kingdom have lived and lived here for a long time. In ancient Shu times, Huanglongxi originally belonged to Mumashan area and was directly influenced by ancient Shu civilization.

After liberation, several ancient tombs unearthed in Huanglongxi, including Jifeng Guaiyan Tomb, xiaohe village Tomb, Jinhua Temple Tomb and Huangfen Village Tomb, belong to the same civilization zone as the ancient cliff tombs of Han Dynasty distributed in Mumashan area. They are collectively referred to by historians as the "Han group" in the Minjiang River Basin. As a part of Mashan area in ancient Mu, although Huanglongxi played an important role in ancient Shu, with the end of the war, this humble little place, which was originally located at the junction of three counties, became dull in the unified country of Qin and Han Dynasties. It was not until a natural wonder appeared that Huanglongxi was once again recognized by the world and caused a sensation everywhere. Records of Huayang Country (Volume III) and Records of Shu recorded a natural wonder that happened in Huanglongxi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: because the upper reaches of Luxi River originated from Longquan Mountain, most of the streams flowing down were mountain streams, so the river was turbid and reddish, while the river of Fuhe River originated from Minshan Mountain, so the river was clear. Today, when the two rivers meet in huanglongxi town, clear water and turbid water are distinct, especially during the flood season.

One day at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the turbid water of Chishui River was injected into the Qingjiang River of Fuhe River, a yellow dragon with a head and a tail suddenly appeared, which was lifelike and lasted for 9 days and 9 nights in the river. Therefore, Chang Qu, a Shuren in Jin Dynasty, first included this natural phenomenon in his historical book "Huayang Guozhi". Locals call it "Huanglongdu Qingjiang River" more vividly, and later generations call this Chishui River with "Huanglong" Huanglongxi. The main scenic spots to visit Huanglongxi now are one street and three temples. Gulong Temple, Zhenjiang Temple and Chaoyin Temple are scattered in the south, north and middle directions of the old street, forming a strange landscape with temples in the street and streets in the temple. The ancient wooden stage with a history of more than 300 years on the ancient street is well preserved. Six thousand old banyan trees cover the ancient town, and there are thousands of old trees along the river. Sitting by the river drinking tea is the favorite of local tourists in Chengdu. Huanglongxi snacks are very distinctive. Small fish in Luxi River, called catfish locally, can be fried with flour, eaten with wine and eaten as snacks. The price is reasonable, and the shrimp in the river is delicious.

Huanglongxi yellow Latin, white red taste depends on your taste, 18 to 20 yuan a catty. Steamed pork with powder from Huanglongxi, with excellent taste, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, is one of the best in 8 yuan. Huanglongxi wild vegetables are also essential dishes in many restaurants. The most common wild vegetables in western Sichuan are grey vegetables and broken ears.
