Hot Item Recommendation! The Hidden Version of Dujiangyan Travel Guide

💨 Immersed in busy work for all 31 days of a month, you must sometimes want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. This time, let's go to Dujiangyan with Yici, and use the 2 days of the weekend to embrace nature and explore the beautiful scenery around this city! 🌟 Many friends who come to Chengdu will choose to spend a day in Dujiangyan, after all, it is a very famous hydraulic engineering project from our textbooks. In Dujiangyan, it's as if we can have a conversation with Li Bing and his son from a thousand years ago. Here, not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery of the summer countryside, but you can also marvel at the wisdom of the ancients from a millennium ago. 🚗 Transportation Guide 🚙 Self-driving: It takes only 1.5 hours to reach from Chengdu. 🚄 Subway + Intercity: Transfer at Xipu Station of Chengdu Subway, and take the intercity train directly to Lidui Park. 🏞 Attraction Recommendations 1⃣ Dujiangyan Scenic Area: As the saying goes, 'Worship the water at Dujiangyan, seek the way at Qingcheng Mountain'. Note that the entrance ticket to the Dujiangyan scenic area is 80 yuan per person, and there is a sightseeing car inside the scenic area, 15 yuan for a round trip, 10 yuan for a single trip. In Dujiangyan, our main destination is the ancient city of Guanxian, where you must visit the Blue Tears. The lights turn on at 7 pm here, and it's a great spot for photography. 2⃣ Qingcheng Mountain: If you're not up for a lot of physical activity, it's recommended to choose the small loop: Taian Ancient Town → Wulong Gully → Youyi Village → Cuiying Lake → Taian Ancient Town. Front mountain for Taoist temples, back mountain for nature, each has its own charm. Wulong Gully is a must-visit spot, known as the most beautiful part of Qingcheng Mountain. There are many waterfalls, as well as streams and bridges. Additionally, you can choose to raft here, don't miss out if you're interested. 3⃣ Zhao Gong Mountain: The ancestral temple of the God of Wealth for a thousand years, it is said that this is where Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, ascended to heaven. A forest oxygen bar, with over 20 kilometers of greenway, it's the first choice for hiking, cycling, and camping. There is no entrance fee here, but sometimes parking may cost around 10 yuan. Due to the quick weather changes in the mountains, it's advised to wear a hat for sun protection. Also, when taking photos near waterfalls, you might get your clothes wet, so it's recommended to bring a change of clothes. 4⃣ Wenmiao Street: Wenmiao Street is inside the ancient city of Guanxian, a story-filled old street shaded by green trees, very cool and great for photography. It's lined with various old objects from childhood: bicycles, dressing tables, armchairs, old photos... Seeing these old objects can resonate with many people. 5⃣ Panda Valley: The entrance fee is 55 yuan, and compared to Chengdu's Panda Base, it feels much simpler here. Panda Valley is nestled among the mountains, surrounded by shady trees, with babbling brooks in between. Since it's summer, the pandas are all lazy. In addition, besides giant pandas, you can also have close contact with red pandas here, with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 6⃣ Yunhua Mountain: The view from the mountain top is endlessly beautiful, hiking to enjoy the scenery, overlooking the panoramic view of Dujiangyan. You can also paraglide from the mountain top, but you need to contact the club in advance. There is no entrance fee here, but if you choose to drive, there is a 10 yuan parking fee. Also, if you're not physically fit, it's better to drive up the mountain. It's best to start early if you're self-driving, as it usually gets congested after 11 am on weekends. 7⃣ Zipingpu: Choose a good weather day to come to Zipingpu and enjoy the beauty of the reservoir. It's like a blue jelly sea, where you can hear the sound of the waves, and driving through on a sunny day can instantly lift your spirits. 8⃣ Nanqiao Night View: The legendary Blue Tears, with lights just turned on, underwater wonders, as if entering a fantasy fairy world. Yici went there quite late, at 9 pm. If you go earlier, you can choose to visit the nearby pedestrian street for a stroll and some food. Since Yici booked a homestay in the ancient city of Guanxian, it's quite close, just a 5 or 6-minute walk away. 9⃣ Yangtianwo Square: This is a very famous landmark building in Chengdu, the same style as Dilraba. The lying panda awaits your check-in. 📅 Dujiangyan 2-Day Travel Itinerary 🌞Day1: Yangtianwo Square → Wenmiao Street → Dujiangyan Scenic Area → Nanqiao Night View 🌙Day2: Panda Valley → Hiking on Zhao Gong Mountain → Return fully satisfied 🌟 Dujiangyan, a place you won't want to leave once you arrive, waiting for you to discover more of its beauty!🌈
