Wufengxi Ancient Town, Jintang
五凤溪古镇
An ancient town built into the hillside on the Tuo River in Jintang. Known for its Hakka architecture and its layout of mountains and water, it is beautiful and seldom crowded.
Wufengxi Ancient Town is on the west bank of the Tuo River in Jintang County. It was once a river port on the route from Chengdu to Chongqing. The town climbs the hillside in tiers and preserves guild halls such as the Guizhou Guildhall and Nanhua Palace, as well as Hakka-style houses. Stone steps and narrow lanes against the river give it the feel of a “little Chongqing in the mountains.” In spring, rapeseed fields and peach blossoms surround the town. Entry is free. From Chengdu East Railway Station, take a high-speed train heading toward Chongqing to Wufengxi Station, then a taxi for about 10 minutes. Driving takes about 1 hour.
