This is a small town in the Chengdu Plain
Chengdu Luodai Ancient Town is not: lol
Have you been to the guild halls in the ancient town?
The specialty foods of the small town, especially that jelly-like dish
Not yet; I plan to visit Chengdu when I have time. :lol
It’s only a little over ten kilometers from the city center; soon, the subway will make it even more convenient
Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 kilometers north of Longquan Town, at the foot of E’er Mountain in the middle section of the Longquan Mountain Range. Built during the Shu Han dynasty of the Three Kingdoms period, it is said to have gotten its name because Liu Shan, the last emperor of Shu Han, dropped his jade belt into the Octagonal Well located next to the town. Among the town’s residents, there are over 20,000 Hakka people, accounting for 90% of the total population; hence it is known as the premier Hakka town in western China. It is a key scenic area in Sichuan Province for the development of the “Two Lakes and One Mountain” tourism region; it is an **AAAA-rated tourist attraction, one of the first batch of key small towns in China, a town under special protection in Chengdu, a town given priority for cultural and tourism development in Chengdu, a provincial-level historic and cultural town, and a national “Advanced Town for Fitness Activities among Farmers”.
Looking forward to it. I guess going to Chengdu in April or May would be a good time: lol
It should be when it’s not too cold and not too hot
Because a person who wanders by this well for a while comes to possess this thousand-year-old name
