Situated 136 km to the southwest of Chengdu, Ya’an (\u96c5\u5b89) is\u00a0a jump-off point to further\u00a0travel to Hailuogou Glacier, the West of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet since it is located at the intersection of Sichuan-Tibet Highway (G318) and Sichuan-Yunnan Expressway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya’an City Layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When We’ve\u00a0reached\u00a0the city of Ya’an driving all the way from Hanzhong (\u6c49\u4e2d) along the expressway G5 (Jingkun Expressway), it is getting darker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city looks neat and bright with Qingyi River (\u9752\u8863\u6c5f) winding past cutting the city into two parts. Actually the city of Ya’an is built on the two sides of the valley of Qingyi River. We are pleasantly surprised at the solemn beauty of the largest\u00a0covered bridge (Langqiao) I’ve ever seen just across our lodging hotel – ibis downtown Ya’an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya’an and its “three most famous” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ya’an has long been well known for its “three most famous” – Ya Fish, Ya Girls and Ya Rain. Tasting Ya fish is a must for tonight. Just forget Ya rain, as Ya’an is noted for a city of rain, the most rainy city in Sichuan Province and hopefully we’ll have a sunny and bright day tomorrow. The girls in Ya’an are said to to be beautiful, so we’ll see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our growling\u00a0stomach reminds us of the need to have dinner first upon arrival at the pretty city.\u00a0 Ibis downtown Ya’an suggests us have Ya fish at the\u00a0time-honored Ganlaosi Ya Fish Restaurant\u00a0(\u00a0\u5e72\u8001\u56db\u96c5\u9c7c\u996d\u5e97), a ten-minute drive from our hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a chain restautant and we go to its flagship restaurant – Ganlaosi Ya Fish at Sha Wan ( tel: 035-2821584 Add: No.236, Shawan Road, Yucheng District, Ya’an \u96c5\u5b89\u5e02\u96e8\u57ce\u533a\u6c99\u6e7e\u8def236\u53f7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We order a Ya fish braised in soy source with red peppers.  It tastes soft, delicious and melts in our mouths. The Ya fishes live in Zhou Gong River, a branch of Qingyi River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evening Tour of Ya’an City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a Chinese saying goes “One hundred steps of walking after dinner make you live to 99\u00a0 years old”, we take\u00a0\u00a0a short stroll after supper,which is said to be good for health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk along the river bank turns out to be a joyful experience! The walkway along the river bank is partially made of synthetic tracks and paving stones. Sporadic river bank parks are set attached to the walkways, making a stroll along the banks pleasant and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night views of the bridges straddling Qingyi River are astonishedly beautiful with coloful lights and shades.  This is Qingyi River Bridge lit brightly with a fishing boat on the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning Chengdu tour<\/a>,\u00a0 you are highly recommended to have a side trip to Ya’an, a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of Chengdu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
