碧口古镇
A riverside market town where the Gansu and Sichuan borders meet, on the Bailong River. Its Ming and Qing street layout survives, and it is famous for Bikou Longjing tea and its title “Jiangnan of Gansu.”
Bikou town lies in the southeast of Wenxian, where the Bailong and Baishui rivers meet, bordering Qingchuan and Guangyuan in Sichuan. Historically an important wharf on the river-and-road trade route between Sichuan and Gansu, it is known as the “Jiangnan of Gansu.” The old town is a national 3A scenic area, with Ming and Qing street patterns and long-established shops. Around it lie tens of thousands of mu of ecological tea gardens. In spring you can hike up to pick tea, watch tea being pan-fired and taste Bikou Longjing. Nearby, you can take a boat trip on Bikou Reservoir. Entry to the old town is free. It is about 60 km from Wenxian county seat, and is also convenient to reach by car from the Guangyuan direction.
