Meixin Wine Town

　　Linzhou Town is situated west of Fuling City, along the Yangtze River, and serves as a vital passage from the southern bank of the Yangtze in Fuling to Chongqing. With a long history dating back to the Ming Dynasty, the ancient town boasts numerous historical and cultural relics, including the Longmen Bridge, Confucius Temple, Baoben Ancestral Hall, and the Lei Family Courtyard.

　　Meixin Wine Town is located in Daqiao Village, Linzhou Town, western Fuling City, within the "Fuling District Meixin Urban-Rural Integrated Development Demonstration Zone." It is a theme-based tourist area that blends Chinese and Western cultural elements. The area features vineyards and a wine-themed town exuding a strong French ambiance, set across a stream from a traditional Chinese ancient town adorned with carved beams, painted rafters, blue bricks, and stone tiles. The scenic area includes numerous attractions such as Jigongshan Amusement Park, Lixiangxi Water Park, Xiangxi Corridor Bridge, and Xiputuo. The amusement park houses over 20 various rides and operates on an all-inclusive ticket system, making it one of the most affordable amusement parks in the country.

　　Drawing on the successful experience of Chongqing's Foreigner Street, the Meixin Group has strived to develop Wine Town into another national-level, budget-friendly scenic destination that integrates leisure, entertainment, sightseeing, experiences, shopping, amusement, and vacation. The scenic area officially opened to visitors on May 1, 2008, receiving praise from tourists both locally and from other regions. Since its construction, it has reached an annual capacity to accommodate 300,000 visitors.

　　II. Attractions Introduction

　　(1) Xiangxi Corridor Bridge

　　The corridor bridge spans Lixiangxi and stretches 280 meters in length. It is a sightseeing and shopping bridge that combines Chinese and Western ancient architectural styles. Here, you can enjoy the natural scenery of Lixiangxi and breathe in the fresh air from this natural oxygen bar. The bridge is divided by the “Not So Reliable Global Gentleman,” allowing you to freely wander between Eastern and Western cultures without borders—savoring the rich romantic culture of Western wine or touching the profound history of traditional Chinese folk architecture. You can experience magnetic field wellness on the 30th parallel north or explore the U-shaped Grand Canyon. For just one yuan, you can climb, ride a horse-drawn carriage, or enjoy barbecue, or choose tourism handicrafts that suit your preferences.

　　(2) Jigongshan Amusement Park

　　The ancient town is located in western Fuling, Chongqing. It features Neolithic and Shang Dynasty ruins, Han Dynasty tombs, dozens of stone-paved streets, and the architectural layout of old streets from the late Qing and early Ming dynasties, reflecting the deep humanistic values and rich historical heritage of Linzhou. Streets like Qilin Street, bluestone roads, and the Lei Family Courtyard all highlight the town’s prosperity and affluence. Among these, the ancient bridges are highlights of Wine Town, attracting countless visitors.

　　(4) Xiputuo Temple

　　The temple complex mainly includes major structures such as the Great Buddha, Mahavira Hall, Yuxu Palace, Memorial Tower, Courtyard Houses, and Grand Gates. It enshrines statues of deities such as Guanyin, Earth God, Joy God, Misfortune God, Wealth God, and Food God. It serves as an ideal place for visitors to pray, make wishes, worship, and attend temple fairs. The site offers “vegetarian temple food” and “Buddhist tea,” which cleanse both the body and the soul.

　　(5) Water Park

　　In July 2013, Chongqing Meixin Investment Co., Ltd. invested 20 million yuan to build a 20,000-square-meter water park project that combines high-end design, premium facilities, top-tier management, and affordable pricing. The park warmly welcomes visitors from all directions. It features amenities such as wave pools, water villages, play pools, children’s pools, spiral slides, and more, accommodating up to 3,500 visitors simultaneously for swimming, surfing, playing in the water, and relaxing. The experience is free, comfortable, exhilarating, thrilling, and endlessly fun. With warm residual water temperatures, lying on the shallow beach with eyes closed while letting waves crash over you—or gazing up at the sky, taking in the white clouds and blue—will surely stir your thoughts and bring back memories of childhood innocence and youthful dreams. Paired with the mellow taste of wine, melodious music, and the aroma of bread, Wine Town Water Park guarantees a delightful and joyful experience.
