I go to university in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and usually do some short trips to the surrounding attractions during my weekend vacations. Huanglongxi is located in the outskirts of Chengdu, which is really a good place for a weekend day trip. I have been to Huanglongxi two or three times, but also do a more detailed and complete strategy, let me share with you ~
A, attractions
Huanglongxi Ancient Town is located in Shuangliu District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, is one of the top ten ancient water towns. The town is mostly built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with smooth green stone roads, shiny black door panels, ancient signboards, and buildings with flying eaves and horns, everywhere permeated with a strong sense of antiquity. The core scenic area of Huanglongxi is known for its ancient streets, trees, temples and other "ten ancient". The ancient town of Zhenjiang Temple is opposite the Jinjiang River and the confluence of Deer Creek, Jinjiang River water clear, Deer Creek water brown, visible "Huanglong across the Qingjiang River, the real dragon inside the hidden" landscape.
From the mouth of the Deer River canoeing up two or three kilometers, that is, to the diffusion of Huanglongxi scenic area. The scenic area has the famous Da Buddha Temple and Guan Yin Temple, the two temples are located in the two mountains, far away from each other. There is also the Chenjia Islet, one of the five islands of Huanglong. The small island is now the only one in western Sichuan ancient mill water mill, creaking mute sound of the ancient mill, caused people a few more farming culture of sweet memories ......

Three, the traffic strategy
First of all, if you take a bus or bus, there are the following routes can be selected:
You can be in the Chengdu Tourism Dispersal Center, the new south door bus station take direct to Huanglongxi town, Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Take a tour bus directly to Huanglongxi Ancient Town Scenic Spot, the ticket price is 15 yuan, the whole journey takes about 70 minutes.
You can take a direct coach to Huanglongxi Ancient Town Scenic Spot at Chengdu Jinsha Station, the fare is RMB 10, and the journey takes about 70 minutes.
You can take bus No. 819 to Huayang Passenger Transportation Center at Chengdu Bus Terminal, and then transfer to bus No. 821, with a fare of RMB 4 yuan for the whole journey, and a total driving time of 80 minutes.
You can take a bus from Chengdu Cha Dianzi Station to Shuangliu Passenger Transportation Center, and then transfer to No. 808 bus directly to Huanglongxi Ancient Town Scenic Spot, with a full fare of RMB 8, and a total driving time of 80 minutes.
I personally tried the second and third ways of traveling to Huanglongxi when I did a short trip, but from my personal experience, I prefer to choose the second way. Chengdu Bus Terminal and Huayang Passenger Transportation Center are both more crowded, the transfer time is longer, and you have to be careful not to get off at the wrong station at all times, which is not very convenient for tourists. The second way is much less worrying, you can rest directly after getting on the bus.
Secondly, if you want to drive, there are many routes to choose from:
From Tianfu Square in Chengdu, go straight along Renmin South Road to Tianfu Avenue Shuanghua Road, and then turn left into Shuanghuang Avenue to reach Huanglongxi Scenic Area.
From Chengdu Station of Chengdu South Highway, turn into the South Third Ring Road, turn into Tianfu Avenue Shuanghua Road under the Third Ring Road Tianfu Interchange, and then turn into Shuanghuang Avenue via Shuanghua Road to reach Huanglongxi Scenic Spot.
From Chengdu Station of Chengdu Mian Expressway, turn into Chengdu Bypass Expressway, get off the expressway at the exit of Tianfu Avenue, and then turn into Shuanghuang Avenue via Shuanghua Road, which will lead you to Huanglongxi Scenic Spot.
Finally, traveling by subway is also a very good choice. We can get off at Huilong Station of Chengdu Metro Line 5, transfer to S18 Road and get off at Huanglongxi Bus Station, and finally walk 536 meters to Huanglongxi Scenic Spot.
Four, accommodation and food recommendations
1, lodging has a place to return: Out of the travel, the first thing to determine is the accommodation. If you live in a hotel, it is recommended to book in advance. But according to my experience, I recommend you to choose the local unique B&B. There are a lot of B&Bs around Huanglongxi, which are cost-effective, private and of various styles. I have traveled twice before to live in the B&B, really very comfortable, laundry and cooking is not a problem. To Huanglongxi scenic area around any choice of a B&B basically will not step on mine.
Cost-effective: The price of B&B around the scenic area is usually 200-300 yuan per night, which can accommodate two people.
Excellent comfort: The B&Bs are small in size, but focus on better comfort, cleanliness and cozy environment.
Convenient transportation: Most of the B&Bs around the scenic area are within walking distance, and those a little farther away can be reached by **** enjoyable bicycle.
2, food has good food: Since we came to Huanglongxi, naturally we should try the local specialties. Local cuisine to Sichuan cuisine, flavors pay attention to spicy and fresh, mellow and thick and heavy, and cost-effective are good, an average of about 20 yuan to enjoy a material to meet the local characteristics of the snacks. The following are all I personally tasted, feel good snacks recommended, you can also go to taste ah!
One noodle: This snack, also known as longevity noodles, is a traditional noodle dish in Huanglongxi Ancient Town. A noodle from and noodles to the pot always need to go through more than a dozen procedures, so eat smooth and sinewy, aftertaste, spicy and refreshing, the average price of about 15 yuan.
Stone Ground Bean Flower: Also known as Pearl Bean Flower, it is white in color and delicate in texture, with a natural and fresh taste, and can be enjoyed for about ten yuan on average.

With mountain peppers, red chili peppers and cilantro as supplementary ingredients, the soup is beautiful and the fish is tender, spicy and fresh, so you can't forget it after you've eaten it once. Fresh yellow hot ding costs around 60 yuan per catty.
Five, time schedule
1, play season: Huanglongxi scenic area throughout the year, the scenery varies, but it is more recommended to choose the summer July-August play. This can better appreciate the ancient town flavor. In addition, the ancient town has a stream running through the street, you can come here in the hot summer water to avoid the summer heat, cool summer.
2, the order of play: Huanglongxi ancient town has a deep culture and many attractions. I summarize the best order of play for you from my experience: Western Sichuan Folk House Culture Street - Longtan Square - Gulong Temple - Ancient Wharf - Huanglongxi Corridor Bridge - Dafo Temple. This route not only do not have to backtrack, but also can maximize the enjoyment of the old town style.
First Stop: Western Sichuan Folk House Culture Street: Passing through the Shu Han pagoda at the entrance of Huanglongxi Ancient Town, there is the Western Sichuan Folk House Culture Street. Western Sichuan Folk House Culture Street gathers the essence of courtyard architecture of different times and styles in the Western Sichuan Plain. Linger on the green brick paved path, as if traveling to another time and space.
Second stop: Longtan Square: Longtan Square is a sunken square with a large tripod. Square area of about two thousand square meters, surrounded by nine dragons symbolizing the birth of nine sons of the Dragon Teng column surrounded by the central casting tripod, recounting the Zhuge Wuhou sinking tripods wake up the dragon's historical legends.
Third stop: Gulong Temple: Gulong Temple is located at the south end of Huanglong Zhengjie, the earliest temple built in Huanglongxi, famous for its three ancient temples, ancient theater and ancient banyan trees.
Fourth Stop: Ancient Dock: The ancient dock was built at the confluence of the Fu River and Deer Creek, where Deer Creek, which originated from the muddy Longquanshan Mountain, gushes into the clear waters of the Minjiang River, like a yellow dragon roaring into the area. This ancient pier, left over from the Three Kingdoms period, is made of stones and is still intact. Boating on the river, sipping tea and pondering over the past, you can quietly think of the old days when the boats in the ancient Huanglong River were joined by the other boats.
Fifth stop: Huanglongxi Corridor Bridge: Huanglongxi is animated by water, and the Jinjiang River and the Luxi River converge in the ancient town, merging into one. Across both sides of the Jinjiang River, an atmospheric bridge stands out, which is the Huanglongxi Corridor Bridge. The bridge itself is a scene of its own, magnificent and majestic.
Sixth stop: Big Buddha Temple: The Big Buddha Temple is located on the bank of Deer Creek, and when the weather is clear, standing near the ancient pier you can see the temple with the green smoke curling up on the other side of the river. The earliest Huanglongxi Big Buddha Temple was originally built in the Ming Dynasty, with a solemn sitting and unique design.
