Luzhou Tourism | Experience the 'Intoxicating' Culture of the Thousand-Year-Old Liquor City

A few days ago, I visited Luzhou, a city very close to Chengdu, with friends. I had long heard that Luzhou is a city where even the air is intoxicating, and Luzhou Laojiao is renowned far and wide. This trip was indeed a wish fulfilled, as I finally got to experience it. Luzhou is truly a great place. After playing for a few days, I decided to create a check-in guide for you all📋 Hotel Section | Guilibo Courtyard This time, my friends and I stayed at the Guilibo Courtyard Hotel located in the Zhangba Guilin Forest Scenic Area of Luzhou. The hotel is surrounded by lush century-old longan forests, and the natural fragrance permeates the air, making it very comfortable and tranquil, with a feeling of returning to nature. The entire hotel features a Chinese retro style and even provides Hanfu for guests to wear and take photos. Moreover, the hotel is close to the 1573 National Treasure Cellar Cluster, which was established during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. The combination of the longan forest and the thousand-year-old liquor culture is serene and elegant, making me feel even closer to the 'intoxicating' culture. The hotel has a butler to greet you at the entrance, and the amenities in the rooms are of very high quality, including 🛀AK and Hermès bath and shampoo products. The design and decoration are also very exquisite and elegant. The service is of high quality, too, with a turn-down service at night, offering goodnight drinks and Luzhou Laojiao's distiller's grains facial masks. I really have to praise it a lot~ ⛩Travel Section | Luzhou Laojiao Scenic Area Even before reaching the entrance of the scenic area, the fragrance of liquor was already in the air. Finally, I arrived at the heart of the 'intoxicating' culture! The entrance is the National Cellar 1573 Square. On the way in after checking tickets, on the left, there is a relief sculpture depicting the history of Luzhou's liquor, which is quite spectacular~ On the right is the Luzhou Laojiao Museum, which presents the liquor culture of Luzhou Laojiao. Further into the scenic area, you can see the Longquan well water used for brewing liquor, and the large Luzhou Laojiao 1573 National Treasure Cellar Cluster is nearby. 1573 refers to the year 1573 AD, the first year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. The cellar cluster has a long history, having produced liquor for 451 years without interruption, so the liquor brewed here is even more fragrant and delicious. With a ticket, you can also taste a cup of original cellar liquor for free, which makes the trip worthwhile~ The cultural and creative products in the scenic area are also very good. The Qilin plush toy is super cute, the 'Heaven Round, Earth Square' cup has a unique design, and the cultural and creative ice cream comes in five flavors, which is perfect for quenching your thirst after a tour around the area. - After visiting the Luzhou Laojiao Scenic Area, my friends and I went to visit the nearby Bao'en Pagoda, a majestic white pagoda standing amidst tall buildings. Then we went to eat at a super delicious skewer restaurant before heading to the high-speed rail station to take the train home. This trip was really worth it!
