[2025 Pengzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Gexian Mountain Sceneic Area (Updated Jan)

Legend has it that this 1,400-year-old "Ginkgo King" in Ge Xian Mountain Scenic Area, Ge Xian Mountain Town, Pengzhou City, was planted during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. This thousand-year-old ginkgo tree grows halfway up the mountain in Xiyu Village, Ge Xian Mountain, and is as tall as a six- or seven-story building. It takes seven or eight adults to encircle it, and a stone tablet with the words "Ginkgo King" stands beside it. After enduring more than 1,400 years of wind and frost, this "Ginkgo King" is still lush and green, with a gnarled and vigorous trunk.

About the attraction: Gexian Mountain has strange peaks, rocks, a sea of clouds, and pine waves, comparable to Mount Huang. The peaks and ridges are stacked, and the valleys are crisscrossed, with peculiar mountain landforms. The main waterfall is several meters high, which is particularly spectacular! Standing in front of the waterfall to take pictures, the water mist forms a natural "curtain" behind you. Transportation: After taking the high-speed train to Shangrao High-speed Railway Station, you can choose a tourist bus or taxi to Gexian Mountain. About the location: North of Pengzhou, Chengdu, Sichuan Province About the travel guide: 1. You can enjoy the scenery of ginkgo leaves during the day, and there are various performances in the evening. Don't miss the light show and water show. Take the cable car up the mountain, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The wind is strong at the top, so protect your hat. It's a real version of the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting. 2. This 1,500-year-old ginkgo tree is also regarded as a "treasure of the mountain" by locals. There are pavilions, and you can also enjoy ginkgo on Gexian Mountain. It's great for taking photos. The whole journey is shaded by trees, and the end is ginkgo. It's a good place to visit. 3. There are signs all the way into Xiyu Village, and the end is the thousand-year-old ginkgo. Start from the foot of the mountain and walk slowly up the winding path. The ginkgo hike is amazing, with golden leaves scattered around. It's a great day trip. Recommended attractions nearby: 1. Mount Sanqing 2. Wangxian Valley 3. Daanyuan Tips: 1.

Hi everyone, I'm Ranran who loves to share travel experiences~ This is a free flower sea near Gexian Mountain, where the pear blossoms are now in full bloom. The greenway is about 2.5km long, perfect for bringing family and children to enjoy the flowers, and then heading to a nearby farmhouse to drink tea and play mahjong~ The Pear Blossom Rural Library is quite interesting to visit and take photos. If you have enough time, you can also visit Gexian Mountain, where the February orchids have also bloomed, and it's beautiful for photography. Navigation: Pear Blossom Rural Library (Xiyu Village, Gexian Mountain Town, Pengzhou) TIPS: 1. There are restrooms at nearby farmhouses, and parking is available. 2. The view from the mountain top is great for photography, and it's also picturesque under the pear trees. 3. As the weather gets warmer, remember to protect yourself from the sun, bring enough water, and there are snack stalls along the way. 4. The blossoms are only for a few days, so make the most of the time.

The mountain trails are primitive and simple, with every step being a view — the babbling streams 💦, the blooming wildflowers 🌸, the clusters of mushrooms 🍄, all compose a vivid ecological scroll. 🐞 The world of microorganisms is equally fascinating, with chance encounters with wild fish 🐟, catching crabs by the stream 🦀, and tracking the traces of geckos 🦎, offering endless fun for family trips, and the children never tire of it!

I took a day off to visit Pengzhou, and this is Pengzhou Gexian Mountain. Admission is 30 yuan per person. P: We parked halfway up the mountain, and the parking fee was 10 yuan. During holidays, many cars park along the roadside, causing traffic congestion. It took us a long time to get down the mountain. It's an easy hike, very suitable for someone like me who doesn't like to exercise. It's also perfect for wearing a skirt to take photos. Besides the stairs at the entrance, the paths in the scenic area are quite flat, suitable for bringing the elderly and children (but not a baby stroller). One thing worth praising is that there are many chairs in the scenic area where you can sit and rest or have a picnic, as well as shaded areas. It's very comfortable to sit and enjoy the breeze when tired! There are vendors selling cold noodles, bean jelly, and dried tofu at the entrance of the scenic area, but no food is sold inside, so you can bring your own. Take advantage of the spring bloom, fairies, and put on your beautiful skirts to take photos.

I've come to Pengzhou for the third time. Setting off from the center of Chengdu on a weekday, it takes just over an hour to get here. It's the perfect destination for a city escape plan. 📷📷 Sightseeing: The Longxing Temple in the center of Pengzhou has a Southeast Asian style. You can take photos and play inside, and climbing the tower offers a view of Pengzhou's urban area. There's a large teahouse in the temple, and when the sun is out, locals like to come here for tea and chat. Gexian Mountain is a recommended attraction this season, with many farm stays and a profusion of flowers blooming in the mountains, including beautiful pear blossoms, peach blossoms, and rapeseed flowers. 🍲🍲 Dining: There are many delicious foods around Longxing Temple, including crayfish, tofu pudding, hot pot, rabbit dishes, and the famous Laoxiang ice powder with an authentic taste. (We came to Pengzhou again just for this bowl of ice powder) 😄😄 Accommodation: There are some homestays in the center of Pengzhou, hidden away in the city, very quiet. However, you can also stay in the suburbs, such as in Bailu Town or Lingbaoshuyuan, where the scenery is also nice.

I've been to Mount Ge Xian about five or six times. Each season offers a different landscape, but the most stunning is the millennium ginkgo forest on the mountain. There are also camellias, Taoist temples, and winding mountain roads. Even the parking spots offer a panoramic view of the city's hustle and bustle, making it a great place for beginners or those with children to enjoy a light hike and experience a poetic journey. - ⛩️: Mount Ge Xian 🎫: 20 RMB per person - ⛰️Mountain waist 🚗 parking: The parking lot itself is an excellent spot to view the city's scenery, with clear skies offering an unobstructed view, and cloudy days 🌥️ presenting a misty fairyland, perfect for photography 📷. 🏚️Taoist temple on the immortal mountain: The temple, worn by years and lacking maintenance, still bears historical marks. The Ge Xian Hall, though now closed and without worshippers, remains imposing. Hidden among the green forests and mountains, it exudes a unique charm. 🌳Millennium ginkgo forest: During autumn and winter, the millennium ginkgo trees become a natural spectacle, with a dreamy golden hue. At an altitude of around 1200m, it's perfect for an oxygenating hike. ⛰️Seeking the secluded and inquiring about the way: It's not just a famous Taoist mountain; the unique topography is also worth exploring. It features the rare Feilai Peak ⛰️, various large and small peculiar caves, and glacial relics. One can discover a variety of rare plants 🍃 and wild fruits and fungi, making it ideal for taking children on a natural education outing.

Going out to catch the good weather, I've visited this place for the fourth time, and both spring and autumn are very beautiful! The hills are covered with February orchids, camellias, and cherry blossoms, all blooming perfectly. Entering the scenic area feels like stepping into a dream, it's so beautiful! Flower viewing strategy✅✅✅As soon as you enter the scenic area, it's all flowers, and in just a few minutes' walk, you can reach the cherry blossoms and camellias, then turn left for the February orchids, a whole large area, like a fairyland! The largest patch is on the hillside in the direction of Beizhai Gate, which you can find immediately, but there are very few people! Hiking strategy✅✅✅Nantianmen-Ginkgo Ping-Gexian View-Xizhai Gate-Geological Funnel-Bagua Formation-Wuzhao Cave-Beizhai Gate-Xianhe Villa-Lanqing Villa-Cherry Blossom Ping-Jinguang Cave-Wudi Cave-Nantianmen (about 4km) It's very suitable for a family to hike lightly. I have written a detailed strategy in previous notes. Navigation: Do not park at the mid-mountain parking lot of Pengzhou Gexian Mountain unless it's blocked here and the top is full, then you'll be stopped. It's most convenient to drive straight to the scenic area's main gate. Precautions: Do not pick flowers at will, as you will be fined. 2️⃣There are paths in the middle of the February orchids, you can walk in to take pictures, just be careful not to step on the flowers. 3️⃣Do not litter everywhere, there are trash cans in the scenic area.

| Viewing the Sea of February Orchids. A good place for a light hike to enjoy flowers around Chengdu 📍 Navigate to Gexian Mountain Scenic Area There is a parking lot P with potato sellers both inside and at the entrance, as well as public toilets. The area is not very large, and it takes about 3 hours to walk through, taking photos and viewing the flowers. 🌸 There are also many varieties of flowers, including camellias, black azaleas, French roses, butterfly flowers, mountain cherry blossoms, February orchids, and possibly some other unknown small flowers; in any case, there are many varieties and quantities. 🌸 The sea of February orchids is the most spectacular, indeed a vast expanse, very suitable for photography. However, there are also a lot of people. Besides viewing flowers, there is also a cave in the scenic area that can be lightly explored; in addition, there are some trails that can be navigated with good road conditions, and it's not easy to get lost. Suitable for bringing children, pets, and the elderly, it's very relaxing.

My friend from Jiangxi invites me to visit Jiangxi every year, boasting its beautiful scenery in all four seasons. I've been putting it off for several years, but this year she insisted again, saying that it's snowing heavily and it's very 'fairy-like', and a weekend would suffice. So, last week, I went to Gexian Village and Gexian Mountain, and took a dip in the snow hot spring. In one word: refreshing! After the heavy snow, Gexian Mountain is like a fairy tale world, not inferior to the vast Northeast and Xinjiang. The key point is, the Jiangnan-style buildings in the snow are naturally elegant, giving the whole place a 'fairy-like' feel! The Gexian Village at the foot of the mountain is also full of the New Year atmosphere. Strolling around Yueya Lane and Lingbao Fairy Street, it feels a bit like stepping into a national comic. I heard that during the New Year, there will be a 'Shan Hai Jing' lantern festival. If you take photos in Hanfu, it would be divine! I highly recommend everyone to travel here during the Spring Festival, sincerely!
