Luocheng Ancient Town a step into the past

With its well-preserved buildings and slow-paced lifestyle, the Sichuan locale offers an authentic cultural experience

There are hundreds of ancient towns scattered around the country, but most of them look quite similar with familiar structures, buildings and shops selling almost the same souvenirs.

However, when visitors step into Luocheng Ancient Town in Qianwei county, Leshan, Sichuan province, they immediately know they are in for a rare experience.

Luocheng was established during the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and took shape during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Many buildings along the main street are old and well-preserved.
