A day trip to Mianyang, a city near Chengdu, feeding seagulls and visiting temples
Recently, I visited a beautiful city near Chengdu - Mianyang, which is only a short 30-minute high-speed train ride from Chengdu, which is very convenient. In the morning, I took a high-speed train from Chengdu, and the scenery outside the window quickly passed by, as if telling me the story of Mianyang. 30 minutes later, I set foot on the land of Mianyang and started my day trip. First, I went to Kangfuyuan Old Kaiyuan Rice Noodle Shop. The rice noodles here are really delicious, with a rich soup base, rich side dishes, and very affordable prices. The service attitude of the waiters in the shop is very good, which makes me feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of the people of Mianyang. Then, I went to Shenshui Temple and Luohan Temple. These two temples are ancient temples with a long history and deep cultural heritage, which made me feel a strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Especially in Luohan Temple, I saw many different forms of Luohan statues, which were really shocking. After lunch, I went to Majia Lane Snack Street. The snacks here are really rich, with all kinds of flavors. I tried the local cold dip and oil tea, which were really delicious. And the prices of the snacks here are very affordable, which makes me eat happily and satisfied. In the evening, I came to Sanjiang Peninsula Square. This is a good place to enjoy the beautiful night view of Mianyang and get close to seagulls. I bought some bread to feed them, watching them soar in the sky and compete for food, which was really interesting. The whole day trip in Mianyang made me feel the beauty and unique charm of this city. Whether it's food, culture or scenery, it has left a deep impression on me. If you also want to experience the beauty of this city, why not take a trip to Mianyang! Imagine that you are in a bustling square, surrounded by various stalls and shops. Suddenly, you notice a small stall with a simple sign hanging on it, which reads: 'Hot Sale in the Square: 5 yuan each'. You come closer and find that they are various small ornaments and souvenirs. This price is simply a bargain, so you buy one without hesitation. Then, your eyes are attracted by an ancient temple, which is Shenshui Temple. This temple is adjacent to Luohan Temple, and the distance between them is very close, as if they are brothers. It is recommended that you go to Shenshui Temple first, and then you can directly go to Luohan Temple, they are connected. Walking into Shenshui Temple, you will see many exquisitely carved Buddha statues. These Buddha statues are lifelike, as if they want to tell you some profound stories about Buddhism. Continue to move forward, you will come to the entrance of Luohan Temple. There is a long and steep ladder here. If you feel too tired, you can choose to go directly from Shenshui Temple. The atmosphere of Luohan Temple makes you feel as if you have gone to Thailand. There are white pagoda groups there, which are very suitable for taking pictures. Every corner is full of exoticism, as if telling different stories. Here, you can explore and take pictures to your heart's content, recording your travel experience. The whole process of visiting the square, Shenshui Temple and Luohan Temple is full of exploration and surprises. Every discovery makes you have a deeper understanding of this city. And the souvenirs and photos you bought will become precious memories of your travel.
Sichuan Province, Mianyang City, Xianhai Lake, the water and sky are the same color.
The water area of Xianhai Scenic Area is 7 square kilometers, while the rest is made up of peninsulas of varying sizes. The land area is vast, with a planned area of 43.28 square kilometers for a national tourist resort, and an initial development area of 13.8 square kilometers.
The total area of the scenic area is 75 square kilometers. According to the overall plan prepared by the China Urban Planning and Design Institute, the construction goal of Xianhai Water Conservancy Scenic Area is to become a distinctive national tourist resort and a model area for urban-rural coordinated development in Mianyang City.
The core area centered on Xianhai Lake is composed of 6.8 square kilometers of shallow hills and low mountains and 7 square kilometers of water surface. The forest coverage rate reaches 90%, and the vertical depth of the lake surface reaches 3.8 kilometers, forming 46 exquisite peninsulas. The peninsulas are interlaced, the lake shore is winding, and the mooring shore is more than 40 kilometers long. The natural environment is "mountains embracing water, water flooding mountains" and "mountains lining water, water reflecting mountains". The combination of mountains, water, and colors forms a natural picture of water and milk blending. The water quality is clear and is a secondary surface water source. There are also diverse animals and plants such as cormorants, egrets, wild fish schools, and ginkgo trees.
4 scenic areas involve aspects such as meetings, catering, accommodation, entertainment, water sports, and land-based cycling and fitness activities.

Merry Christmas. I want to share some of my life with you. Today I went to ming yang and I decided to take an examination.
#merrychristmas
Going to Chengdu before passing through Mianyang, the plane was too hungry, and the luggage was placed directly to the famous Majiaxiang snack street.
11 Mianyang is much colder than other cities, but it is much more fun to take a taxi to Majiaxiang! There are many snacks that Shanghai can't eat. It wasnt long before we went inside and saw the cold, cold, and crowded shop filled with people. People who didnt know each other at a table sat at a long table with a toothpick on the table. A variety of vegetarian dishes.
After we were forced to sit down, we thought about whether it was the main dish. Suddenly I heard a boy on the side saying to us, "Lets eat it directly, remember that the seasoning can only be dip!" The oversized bowl is packed, everyone is dip, there are two kinds of spicy and not spicy, the clerk will change from time to time.
In fact, the taste is normal, and I have eaten a lot of spicy oil, but it is not spicy at all. However, I have been hungry for too long and have eaten a lot. The environment is too crowded, the soles of the feet are like oil, but the place to taste these is definitely unavoidable!

Mianyang Xianhai Lake Walking and Sunbathing
I haven't been to Xianhai Lake for about two years, and I've never been there in winter. In my subconscious, Xianhai Lake is a place with mountains and water, which is particularly cool and suitable for summer. The weather was nice yesterday. Although the highest temperature was still in the single digits, the warm sun made me want to go outdoors. I had to go to the hospital to visit my mother in the morning and bring her a wheelchair. After visiting my mother, my family had lunch at a small restaurant and sent my father home. Then the three of us drove to Xianhai Lake, which is 20 or 30 kilometers away from the city.
According to Baidu, Mianyang Xianhai Lake Scenic Area is "a core area centered on Xianhai Lake, consisting of 6.8 square kilometers of low hills and 7 square kilometers of water, with a forest coverage rate of 90% and a lake depth of 3.8 kilometers, forming 46 exquisite peninsulas, with interspersed peninsulas, winding lake shores, and a shoreline of more than 40 kilometers."
People who have lived in the city for a long time cherish the opportunity to get in touch with nature. We got out of the car and didn't walk along the waterfront plank road, but walked along the bicycle path, basking in the sun and breathing fresh air. Although it was just after 1:00 pm, the temperature displayed on the phone was only 10 degrees. There were not many people in the scenic area. Those who came out to play in the morning may have finished playing and went to eat or relax, while those who came out to play in the afternoon may not have arrived yet. We walked and played for about 40 minutes before we felt a little warm, but as soon as we reached a shady place, we felt cold again. It was rare to see such beautiful scenery, so I kept taking pictures. I saw a bird! Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of it.
After playing for an hour or two, we went home. The rows of villas outside the car window were getting farther and farther away, looking like a beautiful scenery. But I often wonder, if you live in a villa far away from the city, how can you go to other places if you can't drive? If you live in a beautiful place, but there are no people around, no relatives, friends, or neighbors, just a spacious house and beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be lonely?
Not AI. I regret not coming here earlier. It is so amazing.

Mianyang, Sichuan | Fule Mountain Park, don't underestimate the beauty of this small city
This is what a Chinese park should look like
Pavilions, lotus ponds, and willows, a different view with every step
Strolling through the park is like walking through an ink painting
Every time I return to Mianyang
I am amazed by the beauty of the city
In addition to Fule Mountain Park
There is also Nanshan Park
Xishan Park
Reviving the Chinese aesthetics that have been forgotten by modern people
Fule Mountain is known as the first mountain in Jinzhou. It is a multi-functional park that incorporates the culture of the Three Kingdoms. There are more than ten scenic spots in the park, including Fule Hall, Fule Pavilion, and Jinzhou Stele Forest. In 2000, it was rated as a AA-level tourist area by the state.
The park is located in the center of Mianyang City, with convenient transportation. It is a good place for nearby residents to relax and entertain. The park is full of green trees and has a very good environment. There are also lotus ponds, large lawns, amusement parks, and zoos, which can meet the needs of leisure, dating, tourism, and taking children out.
Fule Pavilion on the mountain is a five-story, eight-sided high-rise building covering an area of 6,855 square meters and 53.8 meters high. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mianyang City from the building.
Address: No. 10, Section 103, Furong Road, Fule Street, Youxian District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province
Free admission, amusement park and zoo charge
Fule Pavilion is free, with a maximum capacity of 150 people, and you need to queue up on holidays
Mianyang Museum is a must-see for museum lovers.
Located near Fule Mountain Park, parking is difficult on weekends and holidays. On these days, electric and gas cars can share parking spaces, but luckily, we found an empty charging space when we arrived.
The museum has three floors above ground and one underground. It mainly consists of two basic exhibitions, "A Thousand Years of Ancient Mianzhou - Mianyang History and Culture" and "Minshan and Fu River - Mianyang Nature," and four special exhibitions, "Flowing Memories - Mianyang Intangible Cultural Heritage," "Fule Dream - Mianyang Money Tree," "Great Use of the Country - Mianyang Han Horse," and "Mountain Cave - Mianyang Cliff Tomb."
There aren't many exhibits, but they cover history, geography, humanities, ethnic groups, and more. The money tree and Han horse exhibits left the deepest impression on me. After seeing the money tree exhibit, I wasn't impressed by the one at Sanxingdui. The Han horses are all very fierce, with prominent lines and a powerful presence.
Fule Mountain is next door. It's a large park that locals love to visit. You could spend a whole day here.

Mianyang's "only one table per meal" private cuisine! .
Completely by appointment only! All fresh ingredients!
The boss is very Buddhist and rarely publicizes.
Fortunately, delicious food can always be discovered by gourmets.
Then share it with those around you.
I have eaten so many private dishes,
This restaurant is really top-notch in terms of taste.
The dishes are served one after another, and each one is exquisite.
Because there is only one table of guests a day,
So the dining environment is very private and quiet.
You can chat with friends and enjoy delicious food.
It's like relaxing at home,
So it’s very appropriate to call it Jiayan’s private cuisine.
Just enjoy a family dinner happily with friends!

I regret going to this old restaurant in Yuanyi Mountain.
Oh my god! I can't stop thinking about this restaurant after eating there once. I regret not discovering this treasure hotpot skewer restaurant earlier.
👉 Cordyceps flower beef, pickled cowpea beef, bamboo shoot beef, young ginger beef, cilantro beef... I love them so much 🥰 The beef is freshly cut every day, and the quality is excellent 👍🏻
👉 There is also beef tripe, which is fresh on the day and different from frozen ones
👉 There are many kinds of vegetables. Recently, pea shoots are available. They are fragrant when cooked in clear soup
👉 The key point is that all skewers, whether meat or vegetables, are 5 cents each. Even if you eat too much, the average cost is only a few dozen ✌🏻
