Locally known as People's Park better known as Renmin Park located in the centre of Chengdu Qinyang District Chengdu in the Sichuan District known also as Shaocheng Park in existence since 1911 the first park measures 112639 square metres 1,212,440 square feet. There are very many delights to enjoy around and about such as the 100 year old Heming Tea House Qing Dynasty in the middle of the koi filled artificial lake where you can order an authentic green tea and even get your ears cleaned from wax. In very many different areas exist small gardens where there is singing dancing musical instruments playing people playing cards Mahjong Tai Chi practice even an over 30's lonely hearts club where the youth display handwritten papers listing their abilities and preferences a sort of Blind Date. For the more energetic in and around Memorial Square is the brilliant hand foot elbow knee shuttlecock game which is good for keep fit agile and out of mischief. The Monument was built 1913 - 1914 in memory to the Martyrs of the Railway and marks the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the People's Republic of China. In 1950 the new Communist Party renamed the Park People's Park and reopened it in 1952. There is also a monument to the Sichuan Army Martyrs of War of Resistance against Japan and also a small museum. If you are a horticultural fanatic it is brilliant for lotus in the Summer and Chrysanthemums in the Autumn which we were lucky enough to see in all their splendid colours and varying shapes and sizes. There is also a bonsai garden. This actually is not considered to be a tourist attraction site but I was extremely happy to visit as this is more an insight into local daily life where culture and entertainment merge.

Really something special. Because the production process is running together with the museum, fermentation, Destillation... And because the site as well as the exhibits are presented with great care to all the details. 50 RMB + 100 for an English speaking guide but definitely worth it, only with a guide you are allowed to the production and you get a lot of information and all questions answered

5. Luodai Ancient Town
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 276 reviews
Luodai is an ancient town just outside Chungdu. The buildings date back to the 1600's. The main street is 1km long with ancient buildings on either side containing shops, craftsmen and restaurants. There are a number of dress and costume shops where people dress up to have their photo taken. It is easy to reach by either bus or taxi from Chengdu. The journey is c. 20km and takes about 45-60 mins. On a Sunday it is busy with local torists. Many of the shops and street vendors are of the native Hakka tribe. Well worth a visit for half a day.

Oct 25 We continued our free day with a driver provided by China Discovery Tours. At the People's Park teahouse, our drive, Mr Zheng, was suddenly replaced by Mr Wei. He said he had a family member die. It took 90 min in congested traffic to reach the ancient town of Luodai. I'm happy to report that this town is worth seeing and buying. It's such a pretty, well-laid out pedestrian road with inviting storefronts. It is clean and the storekeepers are friendly and give out lots of samples. Apparently, there isn't the amount of foot traffic as in the city. After my 30 min foot massage (called "foot bath" in Chinese), my wife showed me the souvenirs she bought at prices much less than in the city. This place is a pleasant distraction. Go!
