Original Xiaofa Discovery Travel
Summer is here, parents? Where to walk the baby?
Saturday is Xiaofa's grass planting column, recommending you a low-key town. Prices are not expensive, children play crazy, you are fat
It has been called the world's best dinosaur museum by National Geographic, and the National Dinosaur Park and the Royal Tyrell Museum in Alberta, Canada, ranking among the top three in the world;
At present, the world has the largest collection and display of Jurassic dinosaur fossils, and the museum is directly built on the fossil excavation site, and you can see the appearance of the original burial of dinosaurs.

It has a light fairy tale like "Alice in Wonderland", invited to tour the world, copied by other countries... Low-key self-built a stunning world of light and shadow world;
@Figure to Chengdu full contact
A green "tree of life" is brushing all over the network... But many people only know that it looks good, but they don't know where it is.
It is also one of the oldest salt capitals in China! The vicissitudes of 2000, the vicissitudes of the times, the immortal soul of the craftsman, and the only city named after two salt wells;
@Picture from travel blogger Deng Xinxin (Chongqing)
The world's first man-made well with a depth of more than 1,000 meters records the silence of the salt that was once as expensive as gold; it can only be found on the carved beams and pillars of the monuments.
It is also a kingdom of gastronomic flavors that can cry for the people of Chongqing and Chengdu. With the chengdu official cuisine, Chongqing jianghu cuisine on the same level as the three major departments of Sichuan cuisine, no one can "thin" out of here...
Do you know where it is? Yes, it is Sichuan Zigong.
Salt, dragon, lamp, and food are the four signs of Zigong, but that doesn't mean it's all.
The colorful Zigong tie-dye, the bamboo-like silk Zigong gong fan that has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage, the Zigong paper cut that has been mentioned by Guo Moruo for more than 3,000 years...

Here is the southern part of Sichuan, not like the alpine canyon scenery of western Sichuan, mostly some gentle and elegant times that can be kneaded into the heart.
Take your children to visit world-class lantern fairs and dinosaur museums in the summer, visit the thousand-year-old town, reminisce about the history of the craftsman's soul salt, and do tie-dye and weave bamboo fans in their spare time. Then eat a big round belly and go home.
Isn't it awesome compared to the crowded masses?
In this issue, Xiaofa will take you to dig up a good dig up the dappled time about Zigong.
Salt history for thousands of years, where does the craftsman's soul go?
The salt history of Zigong can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years, drilling as many as more than 13,000 wells, excluding the highest record of 1,000m, on average 300m calculation, equivalent to chiseling through more than 400 Mount Everest.

Zigong people have flourished and grown in the inheritance of the salt industry from generation to generation, and it was not until the modern industrial transformation that salt began to slowly fade out of the stage of history.
Although Zigong is no longer an important salt merchant town, the vicissitudes of salt deposited by it are still faintly visible.
· Simmering sea well
More than 1000m of artificial well sinking, in modern times is the world's pioneer. It is still well preserved and is a living fossil site where ancient salt is still used every day.
Nowadays, there are only eight large pots of boiling salt, and the salt workers show the whole process of picking brine, cleaning and purifying, separating impurities, slag salt, shoveling salt, and finally pouring salt and testing salt. It was 80 cauldrons...
Adult tickets are only 20 yuan
· Old salt mill
Like the 798 in Beijing, the new force of Zigong, on the site of the former Da'an Salt Works, combined with art, in another way, awakened the vitality of the salt works.
Old-fashioned factories and modern art, cafes, bookstores, beer halls, cultural and creative halls... Well worth a visit.
· Salt Industry History Museum
This is the only professional museum of well salt history in China, and it is a national first-class museum of the same level as the provincial museums.
Founded in the Qing Dynasty, 280 years of history, 5w two silver, 16 years of fine carving... The name of the hospital is Guo Moruo's personal inscription.
Come here to see 3 main points:
1⃣️ Carved columns and jade cultural relics, stone carvings, wood carvings, paintings, clay sculptures... Vividly.
2⃣️ The historical evolution and tool display of well salt production in ancient China, where the evolution and transformation of salt well production technology in the salt capital of the millennium are truly recorded.
3⃣️ The architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the halls and halls, the corridors and pavilions, still look artistic and elegant, and can't help but lament the excellent aesthetics of the ancestors. It is recommended to ask a docent to bring the baby to introduce together
· Xianshi Ancient Town
Dwelling in the place where salt is transported, it rises and falls because of salt.
Thousands of years old, after countless storms and rains, the charm still exists. But it is isolated because it is unknown, and there are other ancient towns here, and the most lacking simplicity and primitiveness are the most lacking.
Live in a one-place idle house, taste a cup of fairy tea, visit the "four streets, five stacks, five temples, one ancestral hall, three piers, one carp, three arches, nine monuments, ten land", lazy to relax here, the most comfortable.
Dinosaur Kingdom, can you save Zigong?
From the moment the American geologist Laud Burke discovered the Zigong dinosaurs in 1913, Zigong has never been separated from dinosaurs.
The older generation of geologists found more than 160 dinosaur fossil production sites in Zigong, most famous for dashanpu.
Dashanpu is known as the "Dinosaur Cemetery", compared with the fossil group of the National Dinosaur Park of the United States and the Canadian Dinosaur Park, it is not only more abundant, more diverse, more concentrated, more complete preservation, and the scale of the burial site is also larger.
It has been hailed as "the greatest harvest in the history of dinosaur excavation research in the world in the past 20 years".
Zigong Dinosaur Museum
The museum is a large-scale site museum built on the spot on the "Dashanpu Dinosaur Fossil Group Site", which is another large-scale on-site museum in China after the Banpo site and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shi Huang.
There are 3 sections in the museum. Starting with an introduction to the basics related to dinosaurs, we will bring in various dinosaur fossils from Oyamapu.
Finally the most brilliant dinosaur burial site, the Fossil Burial Hall is the essence of the entire Zigong Dinosaur Museum, with an area of about 1,000 square meters.
There are about 40 individual materials of a variety of dinosaur fossils and symbiotic fossils stacked on top of each other, all of which have maintained their original buried state, which is extremely spectacular!
· Dinosaur Joy Kingdom
With the excavation of dinosaur fossils, the new generation of Zigong began to carry out commercial derivation around dinosaurs. There are many places where dinosaur elements can be found everywhere.
Dinosaur Joy Kingdom is a small playground where children can play. It is said that there is also a Fangte Dinosaur Park under construction, which will be built this year
There are also many creative shops on the street with dinosaur dolls or whatever, or you can also meet actors wearing simulated dinosaur suits... With the decline of the salt industry and the rise of the dinosaur kingdom, the Zigong style has been extended.
Neon light and shadow, Zigong people's transformation of old and new
Maybe you don't know the brilliance of the Zigong Lantern Festival, but you must have seen the green of the fund that was brushed.
Revised 21 times, the light closed version did 4, the light debugging 8 times... This "tree god" with the beauty of both the faces of the East and the West sensationalized the whole country in one fell swoop, relying not on luck, but on ingenuity.
This is the transformation and upgrading of this old industrial city, the pursuit of the new world, and the tribute to the old spirit.
· Zigong Lantern Festival
Every year around the Spring Festival, Zigong will hold a large lantern festival to celebrate the festival. The duration and duration of the event are not fixed.
From 2021, the lights in Zigong will be a resident project because of the fire, and it is not clear when it will be closed, but now we are fortunate to see...
Every day from 15:00 to 22:30, the lighting time is 7:00 pm, and the ticket price is 165 yuan.
The modern Zigong Lantern Festival has been held since 1964, and has since grown in scale, and has been invited to tour exhibitions around the world - japan and South Korea in the surrounding areas, and Australia, Canada and the United States further afield.
But of course, it is also used by some countries to preempt the application of intangible cultural heritage in malicious competition. But Xiao Fa believed that he could copy the soul of Zigong for thousands of years
Handmade culture "small three musts", very absolute!
In addition to the 4 great gems of Zigong, the small three gems of Zigong have more infinite flavor.
With Sichuan specialty Qingci bamboo, with no bamboo flower heart, no black and yellow markings, bamboo old and tender moderate, slice out of the thin hairline, woven into a thin cicada wing, can translucent development of the fan surface, only a few dollars heavy... Bamboo is like silk!
This is the Intangible Cultural Heritage Project, the Gong Fan of Zigong. Zigong Gongfan Bamboo Weaving Craft Factory is the official experience base, and the fifth generation is here.

Tie-dye is a traditional and unique dyeing process in China, the most famous and well-known tie-dye at home and abroad is the well-known Yunnan Dali tie-dye (traditional tie-dye of grass and trees), and the other is Zigong tie-dye.
Unlike the rules of Yunnan blue tie-dye, Zigong is a more open and colliding color. At present, tie-dye can be experienced by hand in Zigong City. Public reviews self-check can be ~ ~
@Figure to Sichuan Intangible Cultural Heritage
Paper-cutting is found in many places, and Zigong is one of the most vivid. A piece of paper cut out a complete picture story, Mr. Guo Moruo has written an inscription for it Oh ~
Learning to make is too difficult and can be purchased as an art collection.
The rabbit is so cute, how to eat it?
No rabbit can get out of Zigong alive, or a tender and tender rabbit.
Zigong Salt Gang Cuisine is an outstanding representative of the "Xiaohe Gang" in southern Sichuan, and is also the hometown of Chinese Salt Gang Cuisine, with fragrant lips and teeth, crisp but not cotton, spicy... is its characteristic.
Hot loin flower, hot fat sausage, hot yellow throat, fireside beef, diving rabbit, fresh pot rabbit, cold eating rabbit, barack rabbit, dry pot duck foot, dry pot rabbit, dry pot pork belly... They are all typical representatives of them.
Eating in Zigong, don't be afraid to step on the thunder, just take out a family that is delicious. Remember the one that was on fire on the Internet next to the toilet, and there was still a queue full of food gods on the street? Right in Zigong.

Suggested Routes:
Zigong's route design does not need to be deliberate, three or four days of slow shopping is enough! One night in the ancient town, the rest live in the city, all save the trouble of packing luggage.
Zigong differs from the diverse complexities of other destinations and is more suitable for slow and leisurely living in the city. Therefore, the trip of Zigong is in a hurry!
After Xiaofa's introduction, is it a re-acquaintance with Zigong. But Zigong has always been in a tepid state in various cities in Sichuan, and a large part of this depends on traffic.
Before the high-speed rail from Chengdu to Zigong was extremely inconvenient, most people could only choose to drive by car. With the start of the joint commissioning test in the Lu section of the Mianlu high-speed railway in May 2021, from the 28th, Zigong has opened a number of trains to Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Guiyang and other places.
