What to see
Liba formed part of the Sichuan–Shaanxi revolutionary base (川陕革命根据地). Its themed settings now include a revolutionary-history corridor and a themed experience called Retracing the Long March (重走长征路). Beyond those displays, the town has rapeseed-and-rice sightseeing fields, orchards and workshops, with activities built around taking part in farm work and harvests.
Local products and traditions
At Liba’s heritage centre, traditional agricultural tools share space with hand-pounded ciba rice-cake making (糍粑) and a virtual-reality demonstration of rice growth. QR-code points around town play folk songs, including the rice-weeding song Haoyang Ge (薅秧歌). In Xinglong Town (兴隆镇), Chuxiyuan (楮溪源) centres its tea-themed landscape on high-mountain tea gardens, with teahouses and guesthouses among its facilities.
