General presentation
Langzhong
Old town, traditional courtyards and river Jialing make up one of the best preserved urban complexes of Sichuan.
The discovery of Langzhong revolves around Old Town of Langzhong, Huaguang Pavilion and Zhang Fei Temple. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
