Behind the Shenpu Gorge
Going there is like arriving at Kanas in Xinjiang~ It's only a one and a half hour drive from downtown Chengdu~ Take your favorite person and go~
Behind the Shenpu Gorge
Every summer, I go to Shenpu Gorge in Shifang with my parents and neighbors by car. It's very cool in the mountains during summer, and you can also go rafting in the adjacent Hongxia Valley. It's a great place around Chengdu for escaping the summer heat. I've been to Shenpu Gorge several times, but I didn't know it had a back mountain. Tourists usually play in the front mountain, and the hiking intensity of the back mountain is relatively high.
Hiking Guide
Navigation: Shenpu Gorge Back Mountain Gate Parking Lot
Ticket: 20, walk forward a few hundred meters after entering the main gate, and you can see the hiking trail of the back mountain on the right
Time: The entire loop hiking time is about 5 hours, and you don't need to return the same way. The endpoint can reach the glass walkway, and then you can take the scenic area's van for 10 yuan back to the back mountain gate parking lot
Pets are allowed, and it's also fine for children, but you need to bring your own snacks and simple meals.
Photography Suggestions:
I personally think that overcast and foggy days are more suitable for taking photos. When I went there, there was fog in the mountains and occasional light rain. At the beginning, there were tall pine forests with ferns growing on the ground. When you climb near the top of the mountain, you can see rhododendrons, both white and pink, blooming all over the trees! There are bamboo forests and a red maple forest on the way down.

The "Fairy Waterfall" Treasure - Shenpu Gorge
A forgotten hiking secret! Hidden is the "Fairy Waterfall", which has been recommended by the hiking secret spot around Chengdu.
It's truly a treasure, not inferior to Qingcheng Mountain!
Very niche, if it weren't for a local friend telling me, I would have no idea at all.
The cascading waterfall is really spectacular.
Throughout the hiking journey, you can feel the cool breeze generated by the falling waterfall, so comfortable! I can't imagine how joyful it would be to hike here in the summer!!!
🚗How to get there
Navigation: Shenpu Gorge
Self-driving: It only takes about 2 hours to reach from downtown Chengdu
Parking: There are parking lots at both the front and back mountain gates
🔴Travel tips:
1️⃣Navigate to the front mountain gate of Shenpu Gorge by car, park, and then hike upwards for 1-2 hours. Along the way, you are surrounded by waterfalls and green trees, with fresh and pleasant air. You can stop to take photos and rest while hiking.
2️⃣After reaching Jiangjunping, there is a free azalea flower exhibition where you can take photos. From the top of the mountain, it looks like a heart shape, which is very artistic.
3️⃣At Jiangjunping, you can also check in at attractions like the glass bridge, glass slide, and jungle crossing. These activities require a fee to experience, and you can choose to play according to personal preference.
4️⃣Hiking upwards from Jiangjunping, you will pass through a wooden plank path and a small pine forest. A ten-minute hike will take you to a red maple forest, which is very photogenic. Continue upwards for about 5.6km to reach the peak of Tianyu, where you can admire the high mountain azaleas and view the sea of clouds. Along the way, you can pick wild bamboo shoots. The hike takes about 5-6 hours. It is worth noting that the hike to the top to see the high mountain azaleas is quite long and tiring. Those who are physically fit and enjoy climbing can hike up to see it, but those who are not physically able should choose a leisurely route to return down the mountain.
5️⃣There are some moss and slippery roads during the hike, so it is recommended to wear comfortable anti-slip shoes and bring a walking stick.
6️⃣The path is not exposed to the sun, surrounded by green trees, and there is a cool breeze blowing from time to time, which is very refreshing.
7️⃣There is food available at the entrance of the scenic area, which is not expensive. You can also bring your own meals. Hot water is provided for free. It is recommended to carry some water and snacks during the hike to alleviate fatigue and maintain enough energy to continue.

I found Shifang, Sichuan, a heart-moving secret paradise!
Taking advantage of the warm winter sun, buddies, let's go to a quiet and comfortable small city, Shifang! Here, there is not only warm sun, but also mountains immersed in forests, rich and long mountain tea, lazy and comfortable warm sun, unrestrained winter fat, and healing stars🌟. Isn't life's greatest satisfaction just like this?
If you tell me that there is a place that can take into account all of the above, and it takes only an hour and a half to drive from Chengdu, do you think I am joking with you?
Hey, this is true! This mysterious place is - Shifang, Sichuan!
Are you ready? Let's pack up our mood, take this carefully prepared "journey recommendation", and set off for Shifang! First, we come to the Red Maple Ridge in Western Sichuan, which is simply a colorful world. There are more than 10 varieties of red maple, and colorful azaleas all over the mountains and wilds. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter which season you come, there are different sceneries waiting for you!
Then it's the Shenpu Gully! Located in the middle of the Yinghua Ancient Road, if you want to climb high, choose here! The canyon is steep, the waterfall is spectacular, and the Shenpu Gully adds a bit of historical heaviness.
The food in Shifang can't be missed! Recommend Huajian Hot Pot Shifang Store to everyone! Hot pot with Wei Yi soy milk, yyds! Little fairies rush! Absolutely can't miss it! Okay, okay, stop nagging, hurry up and pack your bags, let's set off for Shifang together!
When you arrive in Shifang, you will find that the pace of life here is very slow, which makes people feel very comfortable. You can enjoy the tranquility under the warm sun here, or you can go on an adventure in the mountain forests, feeling the charm of nature.
Here, you can not only enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food, but also feel the heaviness of history and the beauty of nature. Hurry up and take a trip that you can leave as soon as you say it!
