The reason why it is unpopular is mainly because it is slightly remote from Chengdu and there is no excessive publicity, but in history, it was once an ancient town with developed commerce, merchants and merchants gathered, guild halls, and temples.

The architecture of the ancient town is mostly in the form of wooden structure. The paving below the street is paved with wooden planks, the columns and columns are exquisitely carved, and the carved beams of the pavilion temple are painted.
