Shangli Ancient Town was an important post station on the ancient Linqiong Road of the Southern Silk Road leading to Ya'an. It once bustled with merchants and traders, and numerous buildings featuring the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties are well-preserved here to this day. Many TV dramas have shot outdoor scenes here, including Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, A Wonderful Land Beyond the Mountain, Not Going Home Tonight and The Accused Grandpa Shangan.
