When it comes to Chengdu's famous attractions, you may have access to Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, Panda Base, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Jinsha Ruins, etc., but back to the 90s of the last century, what are the famous check-in places in Chengdu, you may be a little confused, in fact, there are many famous check-in places in Chengdu in the 90s, which can be said to be the first generation of Internet celebrity attractions in Chengdu, such as the once smash hit World Paradise, National Defense Park (these are in my article " Visiting the first generation of theme parks in Chengdu, which is now dilapidated" and "Chengdu's first batch of Internet celebrity attractions: once a lively place, about to become the memory of a generation" have been written), and now we are going to talk about Journey to the West Art Palace, etc., which were widely sought after Internet celebrity check-in places at that time.

Journey to the West Art Palace is located next to the Wangcong Temple in Pixian County (now Pidu District), which started construction on September 28, 1991 and was officially opened on June 1, 1992. This is because the 86 version of Journey to the West was popular all over the country at that time, and the theme park built with the scene of the TV series had many elements of Journey to the West, which was a rare attraction for the time and could be regarded as the originator of Chengdu Theme Park. In addition to the Journey to the West Park in Chengdu, in the 90s, there were also Journey to the West Palaces located in Zhengding, Hebei, Shanghai, Dalian, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, Zengcheng, Guangdong, and Xuzhou, Jiangsu.

After completion, although the ticket is as high as 8 yuan a piece, it is still crowded, and tens of thousands of tourists are visited every day when it is popular. Journey to the West Art Palace can be described as a well-deserved first-generation Internet celebrity attraction in Chengdu.

Many of Chengdu's post-70s, 80s, and even post-90s generations should have been here or heard of it. From the very beginning, the park was crowded with people. However, the business of the park began to become deserted after the third year, and there were fewer and fewer tourists, resulting in business difficulties, according to the legend that the interest of the 7 million loan at the beginning of the construction of the Journey to the West Palace plus the operating costs, the annual operating costs cost more than 2 million, and finally closed in the mid-90s of the last century, becoming a paradise for a generation of Chengdu people's memories!
