Guide to Hiking China's Old Road to Shu

Except for Xi'an and Chengdu, on the northern and southern
ends of the Road to Shu, the other 26 destinations along this
road have not appeared in guidebooks before. Some are small
towns which offer only food and lodgings. Others, however, 
have attractions which have made them tourist stops in their
own right. Zhaohua, Langzhong, and Puan have preserved
varying amounts of their old towns, and Guangyuan, Zitong,
and Liuba all have temples worth visiting. The guide lists
attractions for those towns that have them, as well as
transportation and recommended hotels and restaurants for 
all of the 28 destinations along the route.
 For excerpts, click
on the Chengdu link to the right and follow the links to the
other four destinations on each destination page.
