Yuelai Ancient Town is only 8 kilometers away from the county seat. It has a long history and is also a vital passage from Dayi County to Xiling Snow Mountain, Alpine Ski Resort, Huashuiwan Hot Spring Resort, Heming Mountain – the birthplace of Taoism, and Wuzhong Mountain – an early spreading place of Taoism.
Yuelai Ancient Town is not large, with only four streets. The main ancient buildings are mainly concentrated on Yuelai Zheng Street and Heba Street, mostly in the architectural style of western Sichuan small towns. There is also a very small temple on Heba Street, which the locals call “Zhang Dafuzi Temple”. It is said to commemorate the local kind-hearted person who rebuilt this street and houses.
