General presentation
Luzhou
A river town and historic capital of grain alcohols, Luzhou combines ancient districts, Yangzi and hills of the Sichuan southeast.
To understand what Luzhou is, you must look at the ancient Cave of Luzhou Laojiao, Luzhou Museum and Old Town of Yaoba. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
World Heritage
Danxia de Chine
Danxia's landscapes are recognized by its red cliffs, ravines, towers, natural arches and erosion-carved walls. In southern China, these subtropical reliefs take on theatrical forms, often more legible from viewpoints or rivers than from roads.
Cave
Cave ancienne de Luzhou Laojiao
Fermentation pits used since the Ming era testify to the long local history of production of the Baijiu. An early visit allows to better observe the local uses and details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Museum
Musée de Luzhou
The collections present archaeology, river trade, wine traditions and urban evolution along the Yangzi River. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Vieille ville de Yaoba
A historic street lined with houses in courtyards recalls the exchanges between Sichuan and Guizhou in the hills. The collections and remains take time to exceed a simple photographic stop; to reserve a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
