With over 1600 years of history, it used to be the most bustling commercial dock in the western Sichuan plain. Three rivers converge here, with ancient bridges, old streets, and guild halls, each filled with a sense of history. Walking on the mottled bluestone path feels like traveling through time, having a dialogue with history from afar.
Built by the water, with streams flowing through the streets, stilted buildings, ancient docks, and old banyan trees create a beautiful picture.
3. Jiezih Ancient Town:
Nestled against Qingcheng Mountain, with the Weijiang River flowing through, the scenery is poetic and picturesque. It's known as the "back garden of Qingcheng," a great place to experience the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
Its architectural style is unique, filled with Hakka cultural charm. The Hakka earth buildings, old streets, and guild halls in the ancient town all give a strong cultural vibe.
Tip:
Admission: Most ancient towns are free to enter, but some attractions within certain towns require tickets.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
