Sichuan Lizhou: Where History Meets Nature in the Core of Guangyuan City

Situated in the northern part of the Sichuan Basin and the upper reaches of the Jialing River, Lizhou District is the political, economic and cultural center of Guangyuan City, known as the "Gateway to North Sichuan". Located at the southern foot of Qinba Mountain Range, Lizhou integrates the Shu Road culture and landscape aura, both with Huangze Temple (China's only Wuzetian sacrificial temple), Thousand Buddha Cliffs and other historical relics, witnessing the millennium of the Queen's hometown of the cultural lineage; but also situated on the White Dragon Lake, Fenghuangshan Mountain and other natural landscapes, with a high rate of forest coverage and significant ecological advantages. As an important node of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle and Guanzhong Plain City Cluster, Lizhou has convenient transportation, with the Xicheng High Speed Railway, Lanzhou-Yuzhou Railway and Jingkun Expressway running through the whole territory, which is a hub connecting the southwest and northwest. In recent years, Leizhou, relying on cultural and tourism integration and green industry, is accelerating to build a modern urban area suitable for living, working and traveling, and has become a bright pearl in the north of Sichuan.
