The ancient town is very close to the urban area of Chengdu, only about 30 kilometers away. It is very convenient to drive there. There is only one road and you can get there without turning at any corners. The road is also very wide.
Parking in the ancient town is also very convenient. There is a parking lot at the door. Of course, if it is during the New Year or other festivals, you can only park at the locals' houses.
There are many interesting things in the ancient town, so I will take you to explore them by yourself. And you must try the sad jelly when you go to Luodai Ancient Town, but remember that if you can't eat chili, remember to ask the boss to put less chili, slightly spicy, really spicy and sad.
Luodai Ancient Town is located in Longquanyi District, Chengdu City. It is a key scenic spot in Sichuan Province's "Two Lakes and One Mountain" tourist area and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
Although Luodai Ancient Town is a gathering place for Hakka people in Chengdu, it does not have a Tulou. Therefore, in 2010, it was decided to build a Tulou in Luodai Ancient Town. It took two years to complete. This is the Blog Building.
The entire blog building has a total of four floors, each with a different positioning. The first floor is a cultural and creative product sales center, which also provides rental of ancient costumes such as Hanfu. The second floor is the Western Hakka Museum, which tells the story of Luodai Ancient Town and the Hakka culture here. The third floor is the Sichuan Hakka Family Style Museum, and the fourth floor is the Western Document Restoration Center, each with its own characteristics.
Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 kilometers north of Longquan Town, at the foot of Er'e Mountain in the middle section of Longquan Mountain Range. It was built during the Three Kingdoms period of Shu Han. Legend has it that it got its name because the jade belt of Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, fell into the octagonal well next to the town. There are more than 20,000 Hakka residents in the town.
They account for 90% of the town’s population; more than 90% of the residents in the town are Hakkas, who still speak Hakka and follow Hakka customs. It is known as “the No. 1 Hakka Town in Western China”.
Recommendation index: 4 stars
Suggested play time: 15:00-19:00 (the feeling is a little different during the day and at night) I feel that the appearance will be better at night
I went to Luodai Ancient Town three times in December 2011, February 2012 and March 2013. I can say that I have been to Luodai three times and I have no feelings about it. I really don’t have any special feelings about the ancient town like Luodai, which has been renovated and lost its ancient charm. In short, the impression given is that it is very modern and commercial, and has lost the ancient charm that an ancient town should have.
The road is wide and there are not many people. It is not as crowded as other ancient towns. It is more like an ordinary town.
The free ancient town has an elegant environment and is quiet in the midst of bustle. Sit under the shade of a tree, sip a cup of tea, chat with friends, and enjoy the endless scenery and food.
There aren't many people coming to Luodai Ancient Town, so it's not that crowded. After turning around a few alleys, there are many artistic shops here, and the decorations on the street are also artistic, which is quite fun...
There are five major pavilions in Luodai Ancient Town, each with its own characteristics and containing different collections on display.
It's a very quiet place, with not many tourists and not too many shops.
I went on a trip with my relatives and everyone had a great time.
I went to Luodai to eat sad jelly. This is a rebuilt ancient town. It is not as shabby as it was in the early days. There is also a small wetland next to it. The Hakka culture here is still quite strong. Because I have been there many times, I have no interest in taking pictures. The above is a photo of the wetland next to it.
It is true that the ancient town here is the same as everywhere else, but we really ate delicious firewood chicken! The location is about a few dozen meters opposite the entrance of Luodai Ancient Town.
Like other ancient towns, Luodai Ancient Town also has its own unique snacks and delicacies. This is the birthplace of the famous snack "Three Cannons". The "Sad Jelly" is the town's own specialty. It is said that the Hakka people got the name because they thought of their hometown and cried while making it. Some people also said that the jelly was too spicy and made the eaters cry. There is a very grand "Sad Jelly" store in the town, which occupies both sides of the street. It is said to be the most authentic.
We missed the official parking lot in the ancient town and drove to the other end of Luodai. The private parking lot charges 20 yuan and has no time limit. The only advantage is that you can start from the beginning and not miss any part of the road.
The ancient town is free of charge, with an ancient atmosphere and a small stream. There are many snacks in the ancient town, such as sad jelly, fried tofu, rice cakes, etc. We tasted a little bit of each and were full.
I have been there many times with my children. It has the characteristics of an ancient town and no tickets are required. There are many snacks and some small items, which are not expensive. They are cheaper than those sold in the city.
Like most ancient towns, it is easy to visit in three or four hours.
The food here is even more famous: sad jelly. Blog building, appreciate the Hakka earthen building. There is also the Golden Dragon Great Wall, climb it to exercise.
The ancient town is similar to various scenic spots. It is not recommended to go there for accessories and snacks.
Luodai Ancient Town is quite unique, with many snacks and not expensive. Last time I went to this Wangcai Pavilion store, the guy was quite nice. I bought a piece of beeswax there. They were all natural and the price was very cheap. They didn't quote me a random price. I will go there again next time. Overall, I had a lot of fun.
I checked about 5 ancient towns in Chengdu, this one is relatively close, but not small! There are many foods in the ancient town, the taste is OK, suitable for a leisurely stroll.
Driving from Chengdu, no entrance fee is required. There are many small shops inside, which are quite unique, with many snacks and interesting store names. On a rainy day, strolling and eating will suddenly remind me of Jiufen in Taiwan.
Feel the Hakka culture, the ancient town is full of ancient charm, and there are newly built ancient towns around it where you can drink tea and chat.
Luodai Ancient Town is open to the public free of charge all day. It is recommended to visit for one day, with an average per capita consumption of about 50-100 yuan. [Transportation Guide] You can take Chengdu Bus No. 219 at Chengdu Wuguiqiao Passenger Station, get off at the terminal Luodai Central Station and walk for 5 minutes to reach the ancient town. The fare is 2 yuan and it takes about 1 hour; you can also take 850 to Luodai Central Station at Longquan Bus Terminal; in addition, there are tourist buses directly to Luodai Ancient Town in Wufeng Ancient Town in Jintang. Sad jelly is definitely the top specialty of Luodai. Sad jelly is divided into white jelly and yellow jelly, both priced at 8 yuan per bowl. The taste is like a biological weapon that can make diners wail everywhere. Be sure to prepare mineral water for emergency before trying it. It doesn't matter if you don't bring water. Although ice jelly in other places has not yet been listed, Luodai's fermented glutinous rice ice jelly has already appeared early, and it is 8 yuan per bowl like sad jelly. White jelly, yellow jelly, and cold noodles are the three auspicious treasures of Luodai Ancient Town. With the deepening of foreign exchanges and the curiosity of diners, fresh crocodile meat is now sold in the ancient town at a price of 68 yuan per catty. It is said to have a miraculous effect on asthma, but whether this new ingredient can be accepted by the public is still unknown. Chicken buses with various decorations can be seen everywhere in the town. It only costs 5 yuan to ride on it for a round trip, but if a grandmother of this age pushes the cart, I really can't bear to ride on it. Chicken buses are also keeping up with the times. Some have Pleasant Goat tied to the front, and some have cute panda dolls tied to them.
I visited Luodai Ancient Town for a few days and found that there were good and bad things about it.
The good thing is: Dongshan Villa, which is diagonally opposite the Guangdong Guild Hall. Not only is the environment good, but the boss is also very nice. He is very enthusiastic and considerate to customers.
The bad part is: there are two shops at the street entrance of Luodai Ancient Town. One of them sells water and snacks. Usually mineral water outside is 2 yuan, but this one sells 3-5 yuan, not to mention other drinks, which are shockingly expensive. And those buns and spare ribs have been in the freezer for who knows how long. They look good, but I get diarrhea when I eat them.
The same goes for the shop next door, which is designed to rip off tourists. Once you go in to eat, you can't leave without spending a hundred bucks.
Dear friends, when you come to Luodai Ancient Town, don’t buy food in these two shops.
It doesn't have any special features, but it's a good place for a family outing on weekends.
Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 kilometers north of Longquan Town, Chengdu City, at the foot of Er'e Mountain in the middle section of Longquan Mountain Range. It was built during the Three Kingdoms period of Shu Han. Legend has it that it got its name because the jade belt of Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, fell into the octagonal well next to the town.
The ancient town is not far from Chengdu city, and it takes less than an hour to drive there. The ancient town is very distinctive, with houses and alleys built on the mountain and a beautiful environment. It is worth a visit. Very leisurely
It is located in Longquanyi District of Chengdu, about 32 kilometers away from Chengdu. It has very good accommodation and food conditions. It is a very mature scenic spot, but there are more tourists on weekends.
There are many delicious foods, the ancient town is well preserved, no entrance fee, and no parking fee was charged before, but now it is charged
Luodai Ancient Town has a main street, which is a typical renovated street. The street is full of artificial landscapes and restaurants. The commercial atmosphere is very strong, and it definitely does not have the market atmosphere you want in old Chengdu. However, there are several forks from the main street, and some scenes allow you to see the shadows of some towns around old Chengdu, but they are also fleeting. So it is not particularly recommended for the ancient town. The only thing that I remember is a Tulou in the town, but the Tulou is also newly built, which is much worse than the original one in Fujian. The real protagonist is the exhibition on the second floor of the Tulou about the migration of Hakka people to Luodai, which is very informative. There was no one except me at the time. It was too comfortable with high temperature outside and air conditioning inside.
Luodai Ancient Town was newly built on the basis of the old town. It was not completed when I went there in 2016. After the houses were built, they were rented out to serve the tourism. It is good overall and the streets are clean.
Luodai Ancient Town is one of the better ones I have ever seen. It is not as famous as Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley, but I personally think it is more worth seeing.
Luodai Ancient Town
The ancient town here has certain advantages compared with other ancient towns in Chengdu, such as the canals running through the ancient town, which are very lacking in the ancient towns of Chengdu. Here, you can eat a lot of delicious food and buy many unique souvenirs. Moreover, there are places selling pets such as turtles, cats, and dogs in the ancient town. It is worth mentioning that the Golden Dragon Great Wall not far from the ancient town is also worth a visit, but be sure to save your energy!
I went there on May 7, 2017. I think it's OK. The ancient town is not big, and I finished it in a short time, but I was impressed. The hot goose in the supply and marketing cooperative is very delicious. There are many foods in the town, and the prices are reasonable. There are also many things for sale. I think the karst bags are special, with strong ethnic customs. There are Weiran Flower Sea, Blog Town, and Jinlong Great Wall around the ancient town, but I didn't go there because of time constraints. Overall, Luodai Ancient Town is still good. When I went there, the Huguang Guild Hall was under construction, so I didn't go in.
It's a quaint town with lots of delicious food and gadgets. It's nice to go shopping and eat.
There are many delicious small shops in the town. Even if they are unknown shops, a bowl of jelly or something like that is delicious.
A very distinctive ancient town in Chengdu. I think it is better than Jinli because Jinli is too commercial now. There are many delicious snacks, which are great. There are also scary insects and so on. Although I didn’t eat them, I took photos.
Luodai Ancient Town is located in Longquanyi District of Chengdu City. It is the "Hometown of Chinese Peaches" and the host of the "China International Peach Blossom Festival". It has beautiful scenery and is worth a visit.
As a Hakka ancient town in Sichuan, I think it is worth a visit. There are several ancient towns in every place. It would be good to go to some representative ancient towns.
Luodai was built during the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that it was named after the jade belt of Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, fell into the octagonal well next to the town. During the Tang and Song dynasties, it was under the jurisdiction of Lingquan County (now Longquanyi District) of Chengdu Prefecture, and was ranked first among the "three major market towns" in Dongshan. In the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Zhenzichang, and then the name was restored and still used today. It is a thousand-year-old town and a famous historical and cultural town. There are many legends and historical sites in the town. The old street of the market town is mainly in the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty, with a pattern of "one street and seven alleys". The four major Hakka guild halls of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Huguang and northern Sichuan, the Hakka Museum and the Hakka Park are located in it. It is a veritable "famous Hakka town and hometown of guild halls". More than 90% of the residents in the town are Hakka people. They still speak Hakka and follow Hakka customs. It is known as the "No. 1 Hakka Town in Western China".
1. Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Longquanyi Station (the last stop, 4 yuan/person, about 1 hour), and go out of Exit A after arriving. You can ask passers-by to take bus 850 to Blog Town (Luodai Bus Station) at the nearby bus station and get off (2 yuan/person, about 1 hour). Walk a few more steps and you will reach Luodai Ancient Town! You can also visit Blog Town~ps: We also went to the Jinlong Great Wall and took bus 853 at Luodai Bus Station to the last stop (1 yuan/person, about 1 hour)
2. Tickets: No tickets are required for Luodai Ancient Town, it is free to visit! ps: The ticket for the Golden Dragon Great Wall is 10 yuan! I heard that the price will increase!
3. After-viewing experience: Before going to Luodai Ancient Town, I looked at some pictures and had high expectations! After I went there, I realized that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny! It’s not fun at all~ The architecture is still slightly unique, but it is completely commercialized! It’s completely! I really don’t recommend going there. In short, after going to Luodai Ancient Town once, I don’t want to go to the following ancient towns at all~ ps: I feel the same way about the Golden Dragon Great Wall! It’s very steep~ Climb all the way up, and the scenery at the top is not good~ I don’t even have the desire to take pictures of the scenery~
4. Food: The food in Luodai Ancient Town is average! If you just enter, don't rush to buy food, you can spend more time to visit, write down the food you want to eat, and compare the prices. For food, according to my experience: try to choose some very small storefronts, preferably some roadside stalls ~ there are elderly people doing it, and the simpler the sign name advertisement, the better! The food in such stores is generally good!
That's about all I can think of! The pictures above! Some were taken in Luodai Ancient Town, and some were taken at the Great Wall! The mung bean cakes are super delicious, in the ancient town!
Luodai Ancient Town Luodai Ancient Town Sad Jelly is here, it's delicious
Luodai Ancient Town is a unique Hakka ancient town with unique Hakka customs and culture. It seems to be free of charge. I don’t remember that the town is not big. You can take a rickshaw to visit. There are many handicrafts and souvenirs in the town. Of course, there are delicious foods. The signs of sad jelly can be seen everywhere.
I'd like to recommend Luodai Ancient Town to everyone. It's really a nice place. The snacks are definitely much better than Jinli. And if you are not convenient to travel far, Luodai Ancient Town is definitely a place worth visiting. It's great to have an ancient town that can be reached by subway in the city. Take the subway to the terminal (Longquanyi). Then you can choose to take the bus (Route 850), which takes about an hour. If you don't want to waste time, you can take a Didi. If you choose to take the bus, you can get off at Blog Town, because Blog Town is almost connected to Luodai and you can walk there. In fact, the center of Luodai Town is very good. You can also see the Hakka buildings and tube buildings in the episode "Where Are We Going, Dad?". It's really nice. There is a section of the ancient Great Wall near Luodai Ancient Town, but I didn't go there because I didn't have enough time, but many people would shout "Great Wall, Great Wall, Great Wall" there.
Luodai Ancient Town is more fun than Jinli and Ciqikou! !
Arriving at Luodai Ancient Town early in the morning, I saw mountains of jelly, cold noodles, and cold skin in the shops, and I could imagine how popular the business was. Jelly can be divided into spicy jelly and sweet and sour jelly, and I prefer sweet and sour jelly.
Another thing worth mentioning is the cold cake, which tastes great with rich brown sugar water and crushed peanuts.
The street snacks in Luodai Ancient Town are full of the fragrance of mugwort when you bite them. The only downside is that they are a bit oily. The prices in each shop are different, some are four yuan a string and some are three yuan a string.
Hot glutinous rice cake, a street snack in Luodai Ancient Town, Chengdu. Features: The cooked glutinous rice becomes more chewy by repeated beating by human power.
Since I am a local of Chengdu, it is not far from Luodai. I can take a bus from Wuguiqiao Bus Station early in the morning. There are still few people in the ancient town in the morning. At this time, you can simply stroll around the ancient town. At noon, there will be more people. You can see snacks on the street of the ancient town, and there are many accessories and the like. There are many buildings to visit in the ancient town. They are all left by immigrants who lived and settled in Luodai during the "Huguang Filling Sichuan" period. There is a stage next to Wufeng Tower in the town. Many people listen to the drama there every day. You can stand and watch, or you can make a bowl of tea, find a cool place, sit down and listen to a song, which is also comfortable~ The Hakka Tulou in Luodai Ancient Town is also worth a visit. There is no charge to enter, but you need to register to go upstairs of the Hakka Tulou. I personally played in the ancient town for about 1 day, and did not go to the Jinlong Great Wall. At about 5 pm, you can take a bus back to Chengdu from Luodai Bus Station, which is very convenient.
The beautiful journey of life is as delicate as a flower!
I went for a walk today. To be honest, I felt that Luodai Ancient Town was just average. There was nothing to see. Then I had sad jelly and grilled meat skewers. I asked the owner to add more chili to the jelly because I was afraid it was not spicy enough. If you eat it quickly, you will still feel a little "sad". It has a spicy taste, but it seems to be the only spicy taste. The uncle who grilled the meat also made me speechless. He accidentally burned the bamboo stick and blew it out with his mouth. This is too unhygienic.
As for the ancient towns in various places, most of them are the same. Before they are heavily developed, you can always experience the most primitive small town life. But once they become well-known, then... I think everyone understands.
So after a brief stroll, I found a themed book bar, sat down, drank some tea, read some books, and of course took a lot of photos...
I went there during the Qingming Festival. The ancient town has been well developed for tourism. When I entered the ancient town, I saw crowds of people and a prosperous scene.
If it's not boring, don't go.
A distinctive building
But there's nothing to do in the store
It's more troublesome to go there
Route: Take Metro Line 2 from Chengdu to the terminal station, Longquanyi Station, from Exit A, walk about 70 meters to the Music Square bus stop and take Bus 850 to Luodai Ancient Town Visitor Center (fare 3 yuan, 10% off with Chengdu bus card, time about 40 minutes), after getting off the bus, you can walk a few minutes to the ancient town. To go to the ancient town, you usually have to go to the Jinlong Great Wall, you can transfer to Bus 853A at the get-off point to the foot of the Jinlong Great Wall, the fare is 1 yuan, and the time is 15.-20 minutes. The ticket to the Great Wall is 10 yuan, and you have to check your tickets when going up and down. You can also take a bus directly to the Great Wall, then walk down and take a bus for 1 yuan. I heard that there are only a few buses a day, but we didn't take it, so we didn't pay attention to this.
The ancient town is full of ancient charm and has a variety of special snacks.
Luodai Ancient Town is located in Longquanyi District, Chengdu. It is a key scenic spot in Sichuan Province's "Two Lakes and One Mountain" tourist area, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, one of the first batch of key small towns in China, a key protected town in Chengdu, a priority town for cultural tourism development in Chengdu, a provincial historical and cultural town, and a national "Advanced Town for Fitness Activities for Millions of Farmers". As one of the core venues of the 20th World Hakka Reunion Conference, Luodai is known as "Luodai of the World, Forever Hakka", and its positioning as "Hakka in the World" has also been established.
Just like Huanglongxi Ancient Town, it is worth recommending. There is a Jinlong Great Wall nearby, which can also be included in the plan! It is a famous Hakka ancient town with a street of snacks. The price-performance ratio is so good that it can beat Jinli in seconds!
Not bad, not bad, not bad, Hakka culture, Hakka culture
It feels good and there are many people eating there, but you just need to pay attention to your personal safety
The town is not very big, with just one main street. Parking is okay, 5 yuan per vehicle with no time limit, but of course it is not a formal parking lot.
There are some tourists on the street, but compared to those popular tourist attractions in China, it is relatively quiet here.
After visiting Luodai Ancient Town, take Metro Line 2, exit at Longquanyi Station, and take bus No. 850. Get off at Blog Town. It costs 3 yuan per person. Please note that the aunties all speak Chengdu dialect, so please listen carefully.
There were too many foods in there, and we tried a few that we thought were delicious: beef noodles, glutinous rice cakes, stinky tofu, mugwort dumplings, and old rabbit heads. Thank you for queuing for me--After my sister finished eating, we took a van to the Jinlong Great Wall for 5 yuan per person, and the entrance fee was 10 yuan per person.
Climbing the Little Great Wall in Chengdu was tiring, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment!

Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 kilometers north of Longquan Town, at the foot of Er'e Mountain in the middle section of Longquan Mountain Range.
Very good, it is necessary to go. Worth a visit.
Different from the small bridges and flowing water in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the ancient town here has its own style. It is recommended to go for a walk if you have time.
It has to be said that Chengdu’s leisurely and comfortable temperament is integrated into every place in Chengdu.
Luodai Ancient Town has the feeling of an ordinary ancient town. There are several large restaurants under rows of trees in the ancient town, where people play mahjong and set up farming formations together at the table.
I watched the kaleidoscope in Luodai and it gave me a childlike feeling. Even though I am old enough, I can still feel the innocence.
There is a really great bookstore inside, I’ll share the picture with you, and below are street scenes of people selling paintings for a living, what a great skill!
I went to a Hakka Museum and got a deep understanding of Hakka culture for the first time. It turns out that there are more than 80 million Hakkas in China, distributed all over the world.
Twisted candy, travel back to childhood.
Generally, outsiders will choose to eat in Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley, while locals prefer to go to Luodai Ancient Town! The characteristic of Luodai Ancient Town is eating! The whole street is full of snacks, and the price is very warm. The cost performance can beat Jinli Kuanzhai Alley in seconds!
Think about it, isn't it a bit exciting? After visiting the ancient town, you can take a local van to visit the nearby Jinlong Great Wall. Isn't it very fulfilling? There are also buses to Luodai Ancient Town from Xinnanmen and Wuguiqiao Bus Station! Popular Science: Luodai Ancient Town is located 10 kilometers north of Longquan Town, at the foot of Er'e Mountain in the middle section of Longquan Mountain Range.
Luodai Ancient Town is an ancient town near Chengdu. There are many guild halls in it, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, etc. From these guild halls, you can learn that there were two major population migrations in this Western Shu area, mainly from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei and Hainan. Therefore, there are very few real locals in Chengdu.
There were not many people there. I took a bus there, so it was not easy to find. This was my first time playing there since I came to Chengdu.
A very ordinary ancient town. There is a Golden Dragon Great Wall nearby where you can go up and walk.
Just buy food, the golden thread cake is good, and there are also mugwort steamed buns. But don't be tempted by the food you use or take pictures with.
There were too many people when I went there, so it didn't feel that good, but developing it into a tourist attraction is also a kind of cultural relic protection.
When traveling alone, most of the time you are walking and looking around in boredom because there is no one around to share your thoughts with.
I think it's a place you can go or not. If you come all the way here, I suggest you go to some more unique places.
The scenery is of course important, but what is more important is the people who enjoy the scenery with you☺
I have been to Luodai Ancient Town many times. It is not much different from other places. I mainly think its appearance is very good.
Luodai Ancient Town. Suitable for one person or a group. I feel more comfortable when I go alone. Climbing the Jinlong Great Wall is physically tiring but spiritually relaxing. You can take the main path when going up, and there is no need to go back along the way when coming back. You can take a small path. You can also ride a horse after going down the small path. It's very good.
Luodai Ancient Town——The First Hakka Town in Western China
A town with a strong sense of life. Old people drink tea and bask in the sun in the streets and alleys. The ancient canals circle the ancient town and converge in the square. Walking on the bluestone pavement, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water and the hawkers' cries, it feels like returning to ancient times. A very down-to-earth town. The souvenirs and snacks are roughly the same as those in Jinli and Kuanzhai, and also have Three Kingdoms elements. There are all kinds of snacks, fruit wine, beef jerky and bacon in Chengdu. The most distinctive ones are Luodai duck and various handmade cakes. The packaging is very stylish and should also be sold on Taobao. Relatively speaking, the price is much more down-to-earth than other scenic spots in Chengdu.
Next to it, the China Art Gallery was built, which is known as the China Cultural and Creative Base. However, it is far behind 798. It can only be said that the advertising is a bit too much and the positioning is too high. However, many people from small towns bask in the sun and daydream there. It is still a good place to go for a pose.
To my surprise, the ancient town has its own library, which satisfies my imagination of a better life. There are 4 bookstores in the Cultural and Creative Plaza, classified for different age groups. My favorite is the one filled with all kinds of old objects. There are two tea tasting areas, all of which are old objects, very artistic. The boss is very enthusiastic. There is a photo wall with many photos of the boss with various travel celebrities and authors. Most of the people who can open physical bookstores now are people with feelings and stories. Best wishes.
The tree at the door is unique, giving people a sense of elegance.
The newly built blog town blends with the ancient town, and it feels like the ancient town is being planned as a leisure town. It is quite nice to come here on weekends. There are mountains, water, food and drinks, high-end cafes, bars, book cafes, and old streets with fireworks, snacks, and tea stalls. The hotel is also very convenient, and it is a good choice for people in the city to come here to breathe fresh air.
Let's talk about the shortcomings. Although the slogan is "an ancient Hakka town in western China", the Hakka culture is not very prominent. There are earth buildings, but they are too new. It feels like they were built later and are a bit artificial. Perhaps it is because they have been sinicized for a long time. I hope Luodai can have its own souvenirs and its own characteristics. I hope it can learn the good things from other ancient towns, but not become like them.
