Chonglong Mountain is located one mile northeast of the city, and has preserved inscriptions and inscriptions of famous people since the Tang Dynasty. There are more than 1,700 collections in Yongqing Temple. Huang Tingjian's "Ode to the Orchid" is relatively precious and is a rare treasure. Many tourists make a special trip to appreciate it. Visitors can go for a walk on the magnificent Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, above which is the famous "Chonglong Pavilion". The Chonglong Pavilion stands high on the top of the mountain and is a six-story building. There is a tea house in the building, where many people drink tea leisurely and enjoy the scenery. The top floor of the Chonglong Pavilion is a good place to watch the city scenery. Looking ahead, you can see the city scenery with high-rise buildings, and there is an idyllic scenery on the left and right and behind.Zizhong · 2.1 km from downtown

The Dujiangyan Irrigation System is located along the main branch of the Lancang River, west of Dujiangyan City. It was constructed in the Qin dynasty around 256 BC by Li Bing, Prefecture Chief of Shu County, and his son. It is one of the few ancient Chinese water conservancy projects that has remained preserved and intact. The project consists of three primary works—Yuzui Diverting Embankment, the Feishayan Spillway, and the Baopingkou Water Inlet, and two secondary works which include the Baizhangdi (the thousand-feet dam) and Renzidi (the y-shaped dam). They divide the Yongjiang River into an outer and an inner branch, the former of which is used to divert floods and the latter for irrigation. This has allowed the Western Sichuan plateau to become "the land of abundance" as we now know it.China · Dujiangyan

Mount Qingcheng

4.6/5

Mount Qingcheng has long been praised as "Tranquil Paradise under Heaven," with its peaks encircling like city walls—hence the name. Legend says Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han dynasty established Taoism here in a thatched hut, making it the ancestral home of Celestial Master Taoism, where temple incense still burns today. The mountain divides into front and back sections: the front features Taoist temples and cultural relics, commonly referred to as "Mount Qingcheng" by most travelers; the back excels in natural landscapes like pools, waterfalls, streams, and gorges, making it ideal for hiking and summer retreats. The highlights of Qianshan are concentrated. Starting from Jianfu Palace beside the mountain gate, follow the ancient stone steps upward past Natural Picture, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave, and Shangqing Palace, with the summit's Laojun Pavilion as the final vantage point. Tianshi Cave, also called Changdao Temple, is one of the mountain's largest Taoist complexes—its front courtyard holds a millennium-old ginkgo tree allegedly planted by Zhang Daoling, while the cliffside Ink-throwing Trough behind is said to be where the celestial master drew mountains with vermilion ink. Painting master Zhang Daqian once resided at Shangqing Palace, styling himself "Guest of Qingcheng." At the mountain's base, Yuecheng Lake's mirror-like waters add ethereal beauty to the lush greenery. The rear mountain entrance is the quaint Tai'an ancient town. From here, the trails connect Wulong gully and Feiquan gully into a loop, with views like Misty spring triple pools, Double spring water curtain cave, and Hundred-zhang long bridge accompanied by the sounds of water and shaded woods. The Longyin gorge walkway built along cliffs overlooks rushing streams below, making it a dedicated hiking route. The mountain stays pleasantly cool even in midsummer. The front mountain and back mountain entrances are not connected, usually requiring separate itineraries. Most 1-day tours choose one of the two. The front mountain's main temples can be visited in half a day, while the back mountain loop is longer and requires reserving most of a day. Travelers wishing to see the sunrise often ascend the mountain a day early, staying overnight at mountain temples for convenient morning viewing.China · Dujiangyan

It's very suitable for younger children; it's quite large, and we didn't get to see all the attractions because our kids were too young. The only downside was the food – it was terrible. A simple cone ice cream cost 16 yuan (and was extremely sweet). Personally, I didn't think it was a good place to eat; the other attractions were fine.

I visited the dinosaur museum once during my elementary school graduation trip. I was young then, but it left a deep impression on me. Now that I'm working and have a family, I decided to come back. The renovation and upgrades have greatly improved the experience. Technology has made a huge difference; the introduction to dinosaur history and the videos make the information more intuitive, three-dimensional, and easy to understand and remember. The new cultural and creative products are also very stylish. I bought hand towels and a lumbar support, which are both practical and meaningful souvenirs—great!

"Qingcheng Mountain, the most secluded place under heaven," truly lives up to its name and is well worth a visit. On the front mountain, explore the ancient sites and rich Taoist culture. Ancient trees reach for the sky, and red-walled Taoist temples are nestled among the dense forest, creating a strong atmosphere. Cable cars and boats are available, making the route relatively easy. On the back mountain, seek tranquility and enjoy the pristine natural scenery. The path is lined with streams, waterfalls, and boardwalks, with lush vegetation and abundant negative ions, offering a variety of routes.

First things first: if you enjoy journaling or collecting stamps, definitely bring your journal with you, there's many to collect ! I think it's best to try visit on a misty day, that's where the magic truly comes out. It's okay on a sunny day as well, but make sure to go at a time or day where not as many visitors are crowding the place. The scenery is great and i wish they had translations or meanings of the poems/drawings next to them, i truly wanted to understand. Unfortunately translators are no help with poems.

The Sanxingdui Museum is definitely worth a visit! It's very convenient to get there by high-speed rail, with direct connections to Shuangliu Airport and Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. The guide, Lin Shanshan, gave a wonderful three-hour tour; her explanations were professional, detailed, and engaging. Thank you for your hard work!
