Use it for food and a simple old-town walk
Aiye is a low-pressure old town with river and salt-transport background. It is best as a local-food and walking stop.
Arrive by taxi or self-drive
The town is close enough to central Zigong that a direct car often saves time compared with bus transfers.
Walk the old street before eating
Do a short loop through the historic lanes and riverside area first, then choose snacks or a meal after you know where the active shops are.
Return before it becomes transport-heavy
If you are not staying nearby, avoid leaving too late. Ride-hailing availability can be less predictable than in central Zigong.
✦Go with modest expectations; the appeal is local and low-key.
✦Carry cash or mobile payment options for small food businesses.
✦Use ride-hailing for the return before it gets too late.
✦Avoid comparing it with heavily restored national old towns.
✦Pair it with a lighter daytime itinerary.
