Live Your Best Lives
Mianyang, formerly known as Mianzhou and also Fucheng, boasts a history of over 2,200 years. Located in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin, it borders the majestic Jianmen Pass to the north, the Chengdu Plain to the south, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong to the west, and the Bayu and Three Gorges regions to the east. It lies at the center of the "Western Triangle" formed by Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi'an, and within the core area of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone. It is known as the "Throat of the Shu Road" and the "Key to Jianmen Pass." Here, history and culture, nature and humanities, technology and development are most harmoniously unified: profound cultural heritage and comfortable garden city environment, prosperous economy and advanced facilities, fresh air and friendly citizens, and beautiful mountains and waters, historical sites, and folk customs throughout Mianyang.
Mianyang's summers are hot and humid, while its winters are cold. The best seasons for travel are spring and autumn. In spring, magnolias and lilies bloom in places like Beichuan and Jiangyou, and various celebrations are held throughout Mianyang.
Mianyang is relatively comfortable in spring and autumn, so a T-shirt, light jacket, and long pants are sufficient. Summer is hotter, so shorts, short skirts, and T-shirts are recommended. Sun protection is also recommended. The Baima Wanglang Scenic Area experiences a significant temperature swing between morning and evening, and is also quite cold in spring and autumn, so please dress warmly.
The cost of living in Mianyang is not high. You can have a good meal for 20-40 yuan per person. The price of a standard hotel room is between 150-400 yuan.
