Heizhugou

Malirengjiu is one of the two scenic spots currently open in Heizhugou, which in the Yi language means a meadow covered with flowers. During the crowded summer vacation, there are not many tourists in Heizhugou, and it's very cool! The altitude is around 2000 meters, which is not too high, making it kid-friendly as well. Suggested itinerary: 2⃣️ days Depart from Chengdu—Have lunch in Leshan—Heizhugou There is only one hotel in the scenic area, which is quite old; We didn't stay inside the scenic area, but at a nearby hotel called 'Clouds Above the Ancient Well', which also provided free hot spring tickets. We went to the hot springs at the entrance of Heizhugou (after five o'clock, you don't need to buy a ticket to the scenic area and can enter with very few people). Precautions Remember to bring rain gear, as it rains easily. It's best to have disposable raincoats and the like. Although it's cool, the ultraviolet rays are still strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. There is food for sale only at the entrance of the scenic area, not along the way, so remember to bring your own food and water. There are potatoes and barbecue for sale at the entrance. We decided to try some when leaving, and the barbecue was delicious! It's the kind that's slowly grilled over charcoal, worth a try.

In the magical 30°N latitude🌍, there is such a place, with ancient trees that have stood for thousands of years🌳, decayed wood covered with moss, streams flowing through the grass💧, horses grazing leisurely on the hillside🐴, a primeval forest full of the unknown🌲, unpredictable fog🌫, and an average summer temperature of 20°C🌤. This is the 'Chinese Bermuda' Heizhugou🏞. It mainly consists of two scenic areas: Marilengjiao and Fengchaoyan, so low-key that even their names are often overlooked😶. 📍Location: Heizhugou Scenic Area, Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City 💰Cost: Admission is 50 yuan💲, with a citizen discount from Monday to Thursday at 10 yuan, and from Friday to Sunday at 25 yuan. Free for children under 1.2 meters👶, half price for those between 1.2 and 1.5 meters; sightseeing car is 18 yuan🚎. 🗺Route: Ticket Office (Mountain Gate) — Visitor Center — Marilengjiao — Visitor Center — Fengchaoyan — Visitor Center There are two attractions in Heizhugou, Marilengjiao and Fengchaoyan, in two different directions, so after visiting the first attraction, you need to return to the Visitor Center before taking a bus to the second attraction🚌. Cuisine🍽: Once inside the scenic area, the only places to eat are the restaurant at the Midu Hotel🏨 and the one operated by the Forest Fire Station🔥. It's recommended to eat outside⛰ before entering. Breakfast at the hotel included a choice of noodles🍜, dumplings (frozen), or sweet rice balls (frozen). I ordered the sprout scraps and pork noodles, which had a homey taste, accompanied by a cup of soy milk🥛 and a traditional egg cake🥮. Dinner was at the fire station's restaurant, where the meat was not fresh and not very tasty🤔. Little piggy's lumpy meat, cooked and then stir-fried with seasoning🐷. The meat is pre-cooked and has a certain taste, which connoisseurs will understand😏. The barbecue at the entrance of the scenic area🍖 is worth a try. The middle stall's seasoning is quite sophisticated, with two types of chili peppers, adding Litsea and Zanthoxylum bungeanum🌶. ⏰Visiting Time: 【Marilengjiao】 The scenery is very beautiful, and the route inside the attraction is circular. It takes about 3 hours⏳ to walk the whole boardwalk, which has many viewing platforms and pavilions. It is highly recommended to complete the circuit; 【Fengchaoyan】 is more about mountain climbing, with average scenery but especially cool and fresh air🍃. We only walked for half an hour before turning back, and it would take about 3 hours⌛ to complete the whole route. ⚠Attention: 1. Check the weather in advance🌤. The last part of the road includes county roads and mountain paths, which may have falling rocks. It can be dangerous if it rains heavily🌧; 2. The temperature inside Heizhugou is about 25 degrees, but the ultraviolet rays are very strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun☂; 3. If you stay too long in Marilengjiao, you can also skip Fengchaoyan. Comparatively, Marilengjiao is more worth taking your time to explore and take photos📸; 4. There are monkeys🐒 in the Visitor Center parking lot. They are not as aggressive as those on Mount Emei and won't actively snatch things, but you should also not provoke them😉.

There are many homestays here, mostly clean and hygienic houses transformed by the residents themselves, which is their only source of income. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and it gets very cold at night, so the quilts we cover are also very thick and warm. Bring a thick coat when you go. 2. There's almost only fried potatoes, sausages, noodles, and dumplings available to eat in the scenic area, so be sure to bring some snacks. Tips: √ There will be a lot of mosquitoes here, so bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and rain gear as the signal in the mountains is very poor.
