A temple 20 minutes north of the city. The temple complex occupies a sprawling, parklike campus with beautiful scenery and a view of downtown from the top. Ancient temples are in the process of being modernized, along with the building of over 500 vibrantly painted statues attending a giant reclining Buddha. Feel free to miss the "Museum of Hell," a silly haunted house portraying the underworld. Accessible by buses 7, 8, 27, 33, and 73. From the train station, take bus 39 across from station to Gaoshui (高水) and transfer to 27.
人民公园
Large park in the central city. Come and see how the locals relax - tai chi, fan dancing, singing, playing music. Then there's also activities for the children, with carnival type games, roller coasters and other theme park rides. Lots of cafes to drink tea and play mahjong or hire a boat to paddle around the lake.
Iron Ox Square,铁牛广场
Locals come here to drink tea and play mahjong. Edges onto the river where many locals come to picnic. There are locals selling antiques and small household goods around the back of the square.
科学城
This "city within a city" is the home of China's largest weapons research and development and site of the building of the first Chinese atomic bomb. It is off-limits to most foreigners and a highly secured area. The CAEP, or "Physics" Research agency of the Military and Government is based here. If allowed to enter, it really fascinating to see the completely modern, clean city strategically located in the mountains next to greater Mianyang. Science City is closed to foreigners not specifically cleared for entry. The "city" is not gated, and signs at its boundaries are not always present. It is unlikely, however, that you will accidentally stumble upon the city, being that it is somewhat set off to the northeast and off of the most popular bus lines.
The nature reserve inhabits a wide range of organisms due to its location in the interlocking mountainous regions of the Himalayas. It is one of the best ecological areas in the country. The area is not only a paradise for giant pandas, but also home to golden monkeys, bull antelopes, rhesus monkeys, cheetahs, red pandas and water deer. Other lovely animals also live happily here, such as antelopes, purple gazelles, bobcats, hares and weasels. There are birds protected at the national level: geese, blue-tailed pheasants and jade-banded sea eagles. (Best time to travel Year-round (more rainfall in May and July). It is bordered on the southeast by Baima Tibetan Township of Pingwu County, on the southwest by Huanglong Temple of Songpan County, and on the northeast and north by Jiuzhaigou County's Jiuzhaigou and Bediao.
