Things to do in Mianyang

It was so much fun! We specifically chose to come after the National Day holiday, and there weren't many people at all. We could enjoy all the rides without any queues, it was so relaxing! Traveling during off-peak seasons is really cost-effective. Many rides could be played repeatedly since there were practically no people around, hahaha!

The entire scenic area isn't very large; you can take an elevator to the 14th floor. The 4D cinema is a separate ticket and not worth seeing, but the night view is decent. The dance and folk music performances are quite professional.

Strolling through Li Bai's former residence in Qinglian Town, Jiangyou, one finds a tranquil and elegant Tang-style courtyard, with inscriptions of poems and prose visible everywhere. From Longxi Courtyard to Taibai Stele Forest, from Mozhen Creek to Taibai Tower, the footprints of the poet Li Bai and the cultural heritage of the Tang Dynasty are everywhere. Although many of these sites are reconstructions from later generations, they retain a rich cultural atmosphere, making them ideal for reminiscing about the past, seeking out poetry, and quietly experiencing Li Bai's romance and passion.

Kids love cave rafting. The first two people can wear raincoats. There are hair dryers to dry your hair after splashing some water. The cave is 6 kilometers long and requires physical strength to go up and down stairs, so it is not recommended for the elderly.

The main purpose of this trip to Mianyang was to see this well-preserved ancient architectural complex. Stepping into Bao'en Temple, I was immediately captivated; I couldn't look away. The dragon carvings, bracket sets, flying eaves, revolving sutra repository, and murals were all so beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no sun when I went, which was a great pity. If there had been sunshine, the murals would have been much clearer.

Avoid this place! I'll never come back! No wonder everyone advises against visiting such a famous mountain! The cable car only takes you up to one-third of the way. For the rest of the way, you either have to climb or take various rides like slides, gondolas, and speedboats. Even when you finally see a sightseeing bus, it's a one-way street that only takes you downhill, not uphill. All shortcuts are closed, forcing you to take detours. I understand the scenic area wants to make money, but expecting 400-500 yuan just to go up a mountain is excessive! Avoid this place! I'll never come back!

If the weather is good, the scenery is okay, but there are not many attractions to see, so the time spent there is relatively short. The round trip takes more than two hours, including the time spent on the sightseeing bus and waiting time.

The hotel is very close to the Xiqiang Hotel, making it convenient to go up the mountain; the owner even provides pick-up and drop-off service. The environment is clean and tidy, and you can eat at the hotel. The owner is warm and hospitable, with an exceptionally good attitude; you'll feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Spent 6 plus hour's in awe of the architecture, spiritual history/ feeling, sculpturing/carving artworks this magnificent Holy water village has in spades.Even though the giant sleeping Buddha is currently under renovation, including surrounding locations.There is so much to take in.Highly recommend purchasing the incense sticks and compose a blessing with the local Monk/Teacher/Preacher Buddha/Temple of your choice, of which there are numerous.The Guan Yin Temple is so beautiful 🙏💐🌺🌼🌸🐉🐲

The scenery was beautiful, and there weren't too many people during the National Day holiday. The wait for the bus was about 20 minutes. The main attractions are Ganhaizi and Baishagou, which take about 4-5 hours to walk. It's best to bring your own instant noodles. The supply points offer free hot water and grilled sausages for 10 yuan each, which isn't expensive. It rained on the return trip, and they provided free raincoats. The volunteer service was excellent; a sincere thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻
